Contact The Pizza Builders for sizes, prices, shipping information, and (optional) a quote on installation at your site. Except for the factory assembled models (which require considerable access space to install) all our ovens require a custom-made stand, additional insulation, plus the enclosure of your choice. Every oven should be mated to a double-walled, insulated, stainless steel chimney, although a heavier masonry chimney can be used.
Modular and fully assembled residential ovens are available with cooking floors from 31 inches to 39 x 47 inches. The basic kits vary in price from $2150 to $6500 for a fully assembled unit. These prices are in $US and do not include shipping, duties, installation materials or custom installation by The Pizza Builders.
The commercial ovens we offer can be found in pizza restaurants throughout Italy, especially in Naples, where many people say the best pizza in the world is made. Whether fully assembled or modular, these ovens are designed to withstand the rigors of high temperature cooking 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
These modular and fully assembled restaurant ovens are available with cooking floors from 47 to 73 inches. The basic kits vary in price from $6350 to $15,500. These prices are in $US and do not include shipping, duties, installation materials or custom installation by The Pizza Builders.
The Pizza Builders team of artisans will handle as much or as little of your project as you wish, whether simply giving guidance by phone or email, or providing a complete installation from the ground up. We can also teach you about all the aspects of using your oven, from firing to pizza making.

Calling all girls around the world!!!
October 11, 2017 marked the 6th annual International Day of the Girl (IDG), and the 5th annual Girls Speak Out event at the United Nations. What a huge year for girls around the world.
We need YOU to keep the conversation going!
Think about girls you know and girls around the world and how they are overcoming the unique challenges they face just because they are girls. Then think about what it's like where you live. Do or girls like you face unfairness just because you are a girl? How do you deal with it? How do you overcome it?
Then, tell us a story about it. How did you – or a girl you know where you live – handle something unfair, unjust or even experienced a crisis, just because she is a girl.
There are so many unusual challenges girls have to deal with today, from injustice in society, their community and in the workplace, to unfairness in opportunities in education, or gender violence, sexism, war, climate change, and many others. There's no right or wrong answer here. What's important is how you define "crisis" or "injustice" and how you or a girl you know dealt with it.
We want to hear YOUR story. Your story will inspire others. Your story is like the story of millions of girls around the world who will be empowered by hearing from you. So tell us your story! Share it here, in the comments section below, or share it on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram using #IDG2017 #GirlsSpkOut #JusticeForGirls.
What is IDG
IDG is our day to celebrate girls everywhere – to celebrate our power, our voices, and our unique place in this world. Help us showcase the creative and collective voice of girls everywhere. The leaders of today need to hear from you. Let's inspire everyone with our stories of girl power — in art, pictures, poetry, songs, video — to showcase the unique role girls play in our world. No girl is alone. And we are stronger when we raise our voices together. That's why we need your voice!

Ghalia Benali & Mâäk: MwSOUL
The Tunisian artist Ghalia Benali needs no further introduction in the European and Arab music scene throughout the world. In recent years and with different projects she performed on many international stages, galvanizing diverse audiences with her voice, dance and impressive stage presence. Her latest project is called MwSOUL, meaning "connection". Inspired by several events that touched the Arab world, Benali felt the urge to create and communicate.
"I was singing what the people were writing. I'm living in Belgium, they're living in Egypt, Tunisia, Palestine, Syria and, truly, we communicate. "Connection" is the concept. "Al-Wassel", therefore connection. In Classical Literary Arabic, we say: "Mawssouline", "Al-Wassel ", "Wassel ", it's about being linked, connected to something. Over there, they are told: stay connected. Stay "Mawssouline…"
MwSOUL might be Benali's most Soufi and spiritually orientated project so far. The repertoire was written by her and arranged by jazz collective Mâäk. Some of the lyrics are written by young Arab poets, others by herself. The breath and the rhythm are the basic driving forces throughout the whole project, both for the voice as for the wind instruments. The pulse is naturally provided by oud, drums & percussions. MwSOUL is rooted in soul, breaths life and exhales energy. It is about the silent yet ever present connection between two creating beings, between past and future, between death and life.
Mw'Soul will release a first album in spring 2017 on the label 'De Werf Records'.

Hi there,
Save hours of searching online or wasting money on unnecessary repairs by talking to a 6YA Expert who can help you resolve this issue over the phone in a minute or two.
Best thing about this new service is that you are never placed on hold and get to talk to real repairmen in the US.

you have opened up the squelch - refer to the manual to close and return radio to normal operation
Posted on Apr 30, 2010
SOURCE: I can't find the manual,
The range of the BellSouth 2252 will depend on the frequency and the surrounding environment. If you get the FCC license and operate in the GMRS range, then the radios will have a maximum of a 2 mile range. The surroundings will matter: hills, buildings, etc. will shorten the range.
If you are using the FRS frequencies, your range will be significantly shorter (again depending on the surroundings). I'd guess no more than 1/2 mile line of sight.
I hope this helps.
Cindy Wells
(who uses another brands of two-way radios and the ones with a 5 mile GMRS range work over 1/2-3/4 of a mile depending on hills. The ones with a shorter range can't communicate with someone at the far end of the property. It's about 3/4 mile from the road to the back fence.)

Having a reflective moment, bare with me.
In life, we surround ourselves with people that reflect our own interests and goals. Our styles and hopes and even our sense of humors. You always have to keep people around that get the joke. Anyway, if this is true in social situations, it must apply in love too. We are attracted to like-minded people. Sometimes their faults reflect our own faults. We meet people on the same levels as us. But that is what you want. You want someone that understands where you have been and where you want to go. You want someone that is on the same path, though not necessarily the same goal.
That being said, when one of you is moving along faster than the other, what do you do? Do you slow your pace so they can catch up? Do you keep going without them? What is the right course of action? I wish I knew the answer to that. A definitive answer.
Here is what my heart tells me. If you are with someone that is like you, maybe their struggles are a reflection of your own. Maybe your success is one area is a reflect of your failure in another. Just because you both aren't moving at the same pace doesn't mean you give up on them. I can look down on you and tell you to get your shit together only when I am at a point of true success. I just because I have a good paying job isn't a complete success if I hate it. That keeps money in the bank but not happiness in my life. I don't have the headaches of the single mothers and fathers but I don't have the joy of having a child either.
Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for my successes and triumphs. I have great accomplishments but there is always room for improvement. I know I am a work in progress. There is always an upgrade of me available. But getting there is always a struggle. You can always see the best in yourself but it is sometimes hard to get others too. And that is when you need to find someone that does. I think I always taken a liking to someone that is on their way to greatness but not quite there yet.
I have gone through some extremes too. I have had a man with no ambition and a man that was so ambitious he thought I wasn't good enough to be on his level anymore. Hell, I have had a man that didn't know what was good for him at all. Just lost in life.
But the man that knows what he wants and is working to get there, I have respect for. One that doesn't look down on me for holding him back and that I don't have to push to just to get him going. He knows where he wants to be and thought he struggles to get there, makes small successes and tries to make it happen. Ambitious but not pompous. Making a way but not standing still. He doesn't like being a failure and finds a way to make things work. He might now find all his successes at the same time but he will eventually. Eventually he will be completely happy but, for now, finds happiness in what he has accomplished so far and in life.
I think I lost my point along the way. Oh well. I think I just needed to say that. Take what you will from it. I hope it made sense.

Needless nannying was taken to a new low last week when the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) decided to ban a Heinz Baked Beanz advert. According to the ASA, the advert encouraged 'dangerous' behaviour that posed 'health and safety' issues.
The banned ad featured teenagers and young adults tapping out tunes on empty and full cans of baked beans, as part of a promotional campaign called 'Learn the #CanSong', which also included a how-to video on YouTube. According to the ASA, some people complained that copying the advert could risk people cutting their hands on the tins.
Of the 208 comments underneath the video, I could only find one person who claimed to have cut themselves.There were more complaints about not being able to follow the musical instructions properly. And a grand total of nine people (out of the millions who probably saw it) complained to the ASA that the ad promoted 'unsafe' behaviour.
In an unintentionally funny ruling on the matter, the ASA stated on its website: 'We noted that to play the "Can Song", the tin was tapped on its bottom, top and sides, which involved flipping and twirling the can round, and that all actors in the ad were proficient in performing the routine. We considered that viewers encouraged to learn the "Can Song" were unlikely to be as proficient as the actors, but that in any case, particularly given the manoeuvres required, it was possible that mistakes could be made with an empty can, which might include a hand or fingers being inserted into an open tin (with the associated risk of cuts).'
While it's amusing to observe the po-faced solemnity with which the ASA handled such a petty non-issue, it's worrying that such a miniscule group of people – fretting over nothing – were accorded such importance. Even worse, the censorious outcome is particularly insulting, as it drags us all down to the lowest common denominator.

I just wanted to take this time during Advent to leave a personal message here.
I can't tell you how grateful I am for the messages and support from all of the Catholics on this page over the past year. It is, entirely, because of you that CatholicFundraiser.net and I have been able to help over 400 Catholic organizations around the world so effectively and more importantly, to grow and be a blessing to others!
But we have only begun. After the fantastic start of 2016, I have found that so many more Catholics need quality content and support in their fundraising endeavors. We need to help them twice as much next year as we did this year. We can't get complacent. That's why I am promoting a free guide to help everyone with their upcoming Advent appeal. Yes!
You wanted more resources to be available? You've got it. You wanted to learn how Catholic organizations can fundraise more effectively? Well now, this Advent you have a guide that will help you do just this.
Additionally, I continue to publish articles, videos, and resources which you get on this site for free. Don't leave before subscribing – else you will miss the tons of free ideas, content, and references I post each week that are helping Catholics like you fundraise quicker, easier, and a lot less stressful. Seriously, who likes to fundraise? It's not on our bucket list, that's for sure. But helping a friend, a family member, another person, a community, maybe even the world is something we all want to do.
Thanks again to all of you for the support and engagement this year! Continue to do so, and watch what can do in 2017.

SOURCE: Gold Resource Corporation
December 03, 2015 08:00 ET
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO--(Marketwired - Dec 3, 2015) - Gold Resource Corporation (NYSE MKT: GORO) (the "Company") announced today that it has staked additional claims that more than double the Gold Mesa gold bearing property in Nevada. Gold Resource Corporation is a gold and silver producer with operations in Oaxaca, Mexico and exploration in Nevada, USA. The Company has returned over $107 million to shareholders in monthly dividends since commercial production commenced July 1, 2010, and offers shareholders the option to convert their cash dividends into physical gold and silver and take delivery.
The Company has filed claim papers with the Department of the Interior BLM and the Mineral County Recorder covering an area of approximately 2,800 acres consisting of 140 unpatented claims which surround the original Gold Mesa property in south central Nevada's Walker Lane Mineral Belt in Mineral County, Nevada, which was recently optioned by the Company. The newly staked claims more than double the land position at the Gold Mesa property, which now consists of a total of 4,580 acres significantly adding to the Company's Nevada Mining Unit exploration potential.
A small portion of Gold Mesa property claims were mined historically as an underground mine in the early 1900's and as an open pit mine in the late 1980's. More recently, as reported in Gold Resource Corporation's news release dated December 1, 2015, prior surface drilling on the property returned significant gold grades near surface, including 2.42 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 9.1 meters starting at 7.6 meters down hole and 1.72 g/t gold over 18.3 meters starting at 36.6 meters down hole. These grades are in line with surface samples taken by the Company running as high as 2.51 g/t gold (assayed by ALS USA Inc., Reno, Nevada). The property has potential for a high grade gold open pit, or multiple gold open pits with mineralization at shallow depths below surface.
The Company is evaluating a spring 2016 drill campaign at Gold Mesa with a goal of extending known gold mineralization through infill and step-out drill holes. If future drill programs are deemed successful, the Company would consider making a production decision as soon as possible.
"We believe this additional land position at Gold Mesa provides shareholders significant exploration upside with what is now a much larger property position," stated Gold Resource Corporation's CEO and President, Mr. Jason Reid. "We took advantage of the current bear market in metals and were able to stake these additional claims. We are excited about the critical mass building as we prepare to drill this property to test the expansion potential of previous high-grade gold drill intercepts near surface."
Gold Resource Corporation's Vice President of Exploration, Mr. Barry Devlin, stated, "Our team has been very active on the exploration front the last few years making boots on the ground site visits in the United States, Mexico and as far south as Chile. The Gold Mesa property satisfies all of our evaluation criteria for an advanced stage gold exploration project, and we are quite fortunate to have staked additional claims surrounding the property. The expanded land position covers structural trends and extensions of potential gold mineralization occurring as multiple stockwork vein systems and jasperoidal horizons."

Bill for Global Fiber Expansion, Optical and IP Technology, as Well as Problematic Accounting Hits Local & Global Players
Googin, Odlyzko, Isenberg and Klein Explore Why Impact of Optical and IP Technology on Telco's Is Producing Global Economic Train Wreckpp. 1-2
Find out how to order single copy ($125) or group license ($250) for just THIS MAY issue.
February 25, 2002 -- This combined April May Special issue of the COOK Report on Internet takes an exhaustive look at the train wreck produced by the collision of ten years growth of IP and optical data networks with the circuit switched world. In preparing the second half of this issue we have taken a hard look at the world of fiber, IRUs (both for dark fiber and lambda sales) and, resultant bandwidth over capacity. What we have found tells us that the telecom industry carnage is likely to continue until it burns itself out.
It is immune to attempts at rational policy making and perhaps even to informed judgments by the economic markets because we simply do not have good data broken down by carrier on bandwidth capacity and sales. We have been able to compile some data on our own. The picture this data presents is discouraging because in not knowing precisely what the carriers are selling we simply do not have a fix on bandwidth demand and consequent monetary return to carriers for their huge investment in optical technology. Individual companies may understand the industry's problems but they can hardly afford to be publicly vocal out of fear of depressing their share prices even further.
Looking at how we got into the current mess, we find that between 1985 and 1995 the legacy telco networks were structured for the digital delivery of circuit-switched voice with the purchase of a very expensive SONET based infrastructure. With data representing a small but growing share of traffic, their business model seemed to permit them adequate time to convert their networks and financing to cope with a data dominant future.
Meanwhile, new players with newer networks, therefore lower cost bases, were able to offer less costly transport and connectivity services, which further eroded the revenue base of the incumbents. Notwithstanding, these new players did not grown fast enough to reach economic viability. Most are either bankrupt or tottering on the brink. Legacy ILEC operating expenses are not to going to be able to be rapidly reduced. In the past, as long as operating income was growing, the difference between revenues and expense in the form of earnings would permit the ILECs to try switch to a newer and more cost-effective infrastructure. But today, the difficulty of carrying out such a switch is increasingly obvious.
Andrew Odlyzko three years ago began to explain why the foundation of bandwidth doubling every 90 days on which both the dot com craze and fiber builds of 1996 - 1999 were based was not reality but a myth.
In a similar vein Roxane Googin for about two years has been explaining why the much feared re-integration of telcos into an ILEC led monopoly won't happen either. If Odlyzko delivered the first piece of bad news by telling us we had geared up for a demand that wasn't there, Googin has her own dose of harsh reality to present. The new technology, although itself not yet built into viable companies, is eroding the base on which the circuit-switched telcos operate rendering their balance sheets unsustainable as well. It is our contention that, if we grasp what both Odlyzko and Googin are saying and understand how their conclusions mesh, we will begin to be able to assess the industry's problems. It is our objective to do just this in this issue of the COOK Report.
The shape and economics of telecommunication and the Internet is on the verge of continued massive change despite appearances of consolidation. Amidst the pressure of uncertainty that will make many yearn for just a few new and stabile mega corps, there are too many new pieces of peer to peer and wireless technology emerging to enable the building of an empire that controls everything.
We shall have centralized legacy structures lumbering on for sure. But you will also have technologies that put music photos and video at users fingers tips and with the tools by which to share them an opportunity to use plentiful band width should it be delivered. We see some big picture changes on the way. Asset based telecom will begin to deconstruct the industry into hundreds of thousands of loosely coupled miniature telecom companies. Users of 802.11b nets and peer to peer technologies will weave an independent spheres of telecommunications as the centralized corporatized giants are restructured, we must hope, in more benign and viable forms.
We may not have seen the last of the new technologies either. Just as the web emerged from no where, the creation of peer to peer like "trust" technologies from Safevote http://safevote.com and NMA, http://nma.com, not to mention the newly emerging field of "web services", may well add new demand for services -- both at the edges of the telecom system and from more centralized services that also communicate with vast user communities at the edge.
Part One:
Why the ILECs Are in Trouble
New Technology Has Stood their Business Model on its Head and Is Beginning to Erode their Revenue Base
Googin Asserts that Caught in a Vice Between Shift to Unprofitable Data, Declining Use of Network and Long Depreciation Schedules for Heavy Debt ILECs Will Find Themselves Unable to Pay their Debtpp. 3 - 14
Googin: What I am suggesting is that we must start by looking at the problem and get people to accept that there is a problem. Do this by studying the manifestations of the problem. And then look for solutions. People are confusing the problem and its manifestations with solutions because they can't stand the tension of not knowing what will happen. But its only after you sit with the uncertainty for a while can you come up with a good solution. Knee jerk solutions based on inadequate understanding won't help.
The Telecom problem is certainly not isolated to the newcomers. To me the fact that people seem to think it is isolated to the newcomers is a bad sign. Why? Because the real Telecom problem is with the incumbents. This makes things even messier because the new green field companies that we were counting on to implement the new technology are themselves damaged. We are in danger of finding ourselves in a situation where the attackers are unable to succeed and where the older players with nonproductive technologies are seen as unable to fail. The attackers are running out of cash before they can get big enough for their operations to scale and pay their operating expenses.
The LECs voice operations on which they depend for their profits have stopped growing and with respect to access lines and minutes of long distance calls terminated to subscribers are shrinking. The LECs tout data growth but income from data services is not enough to offset that lost from more expensive and profitable voice. We simply do not have accurate statistics on total minutes if use of the local voice network. However on page 54 above Andrew Odlyzko points out a fascinating statistic from the United Kingdom - namely that minutes of use of the local network in the form of dial up Internet access are more than 50% of the total as of July 2001.]
A key question to ask is At what point does this snowball beyond the ability of the US government to do anything?
Googin thinks probably this year. It's inevitable, she says. The only uncertainty is the precise timing. They will restructure. It will be ugly. People will loose money. But we will live through it.[snip]
Part Two
Andrew Odlyzko Critiques the Googin Interview
Odlyzko Finds Some Areas of Technical Disagreement -- Cook and Bill Klein Commentpp. 15 - 20
Googin: Everyone has been playing a little game which now is ending because of IP. Everyone is saying IP will drive prices down by a factor of ten. What people have forgotten about asking is what happens when you own that great big house that you have mortgaged to the moon and all of a sudden your income goes down by 90%.
Odlyzko: Not "[e]veryone is saying IP will drive prices down by a factor of ten."
Part Three
Googin Replies and Incorporates Odlyzko's Voice Versus Cost Data Figures Plugs Revision into Her Framework and Shows the ILECs still Going Broke,pp. 21-23
Roxane thanks Andrew Odlyzko for elucidation of technical detail that could mitigate against the percipitous decline of the LECs. She then says: "However, the issue at hand is so massive, I doubt it can be understood by reductionist, incremental, thinking that I see in Andrew's critique. While this use of bottoms-up logic forms the well-proven basis of the scientific method, it does not address radical change well. I am therefore approaching the problem from a top-down, holistic viewpoint. I am basically asking what happens when the irresistible force (optical/IP pricing) meets the immovable object (legacy Telco infrastructure, debt, headcount, equipment, copper, and all)".
The points I am making about data boil down to my saying that using the sketchy information available, phone companies are about breaking even on their data revenues on an EBITDA basis, as they receive about 25% of "voice VGE" dollars in on a product that costs about 25% of "voice VGE" dollar to provide. Since EBITDA means earnings BEFORE interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, this means we have a growing problem if you hold the bonds, or want to sell them any gear. To my best guess, this scenario says that the declining (voice) business has to pay ALL interest, cap-ex and debt principal payments. This would explain the recent RBOC behavior in terms of cap-ex and headcount cuts, with continued declines in margins. [snip]
We can ask all day how fast prices will decline, how fast traffic will move, or what regulators will do, but that hinges individual human behavior, which is inherently non-deterministic. Here, one person's guess is as good as another's.
What is of use to ask is "What happens to a leveraged, legacy, infrastructure when a "killer" technology that costs 1/10th as much to own and operate comes along?" One might say, "it will drive down prices and profits". Then, you start looking for declining prices and profits, which is exactly what we are seeing now. I report what I see, not what I think people will do.
The RBOCs are not healthy today. They are losing their all-valuable access lines, and those pricey access minutes. They are cutting cap-ex and headcount, and are still struggling to meet reduced expectations. I am an analyst's analyst, the one professionals call in to see whether their own analysts are giving them the straight poop. I am paid to know clearly what Wall Street thinks. From this vantage point I can state categorically that these companies are not cutting cap-ex to keep analysts happy, they are cutting it (and their people too) because the base profitability of their business is declining.
Part Four
The Enronization of Telecom, by David Isenberg,pp. 24-25
I've been thinking about Googin's plaint for a year and a half, off and on. I'm coming to the view that she's seeing two loosely coupled, separable phenomena. The first thing she's seeing is the general malaise in the telecom sector, aggravated by bubble-busting, debt-hiding, other accounting tricks, and not-very-radical technology substitution (e.g., cell phones for land lines, email for phone calls). The second phenomenon, the stranding of network assets because they're rendered obsolete by radically cheaper, fundamentally simpler networks, is potentially much more powerful, but is a longer-term phenomenon that has not yet hit the local telco's fan.
Part Five
Some Thoughts on the Strategic Future of Wireline Services by William Kleinpp. 26 - 30
Klein states: The RBOCs may also face difficulties building a national business customer base. Businesses in general have widely accepted the RBOCs for local voice service, and in some instances for long distance voice service. However for data services, the RBOCs have yet to prove that they are capable of offering much beyond high speed DSL as broadband access in certain metro markets.
Of the long haul incumbents, the greatest question remains AT&T which for reasons unknown to me, is bent on building an IP overbuild network. This, in my opinion, is madness, given their financial flexibility and suite of service offerings today. How they have managed to hang on to their customer base frankly baffles me. Obviously, Armstrong's strategy (for both the consumer and enterprise markets) has failed miserably, causing investors great pains over the past few years. It would be far better for AT&T to bite the bullet and outsource its transport service, as IBM did when it transformed itself from "big iron" towards services. There is absolutely no reason, in my opinion, why AT&T could not buy lambdas from Level 3, Qwest, Williams and others for transport, and focus its capital expenditures on such important areas as innovative applications/services, as well as customer service/retention
Klein also presents an interesting argument against government involvement on behalf of failed networks.
Telcordia Comments on Googin's Analysisp. 30
A short ILEC Point of view.
Part Six: Capacity Issues
Why the Carriers Are in Even Worse Trouble Than the ILECs
Crushed by Commodity Services, True Competition With No Captive Users, and Huge Over Capacity
Running Headlong Into a Wall of Debt and Unable to Paypp. 31- 33
We find that we are trapped between the jaws of huge ununsed capacity and content owners protection of intellectual property at any cost. The politics and economics of our slavish obedience to the "free market" is constricting the availability of bandwidth by placing marketing and policy in the hands of those who expect pay-per-use demand that lives in a walled garden to define and drive the development of broadband services.
Only about 5 or 6 percent of the long haul inter city fiber installed has been lit or will be lit in the foreseeable future. Of the fiber that is lit by 80 wavelength capable boxes only about 8% of what these boxes are capable of is in use. Each incremental wavelength used costs only a few thousand dollars per line card per a couple of dozen boxes to install. Adding ten gigabits to a backbone is relatively trivial and compared to the original cost of building and lighting the incremental cost of doing so is very small. Currently only about four to eight wavelengths per carrier are lit.
Consider demand. Just as the demand for dark fiber IRUs has peaked and fallen off, the demand for wavelengths may now be peaking. Until the fiber owners start publishing verifiable numbers every quarter on how many wavelengths they have "sold" via IRU and via lease there is no credible way to judge changing trends in supply and demand.
Now we can safely assume that with phone network use having peaked there will be little in the way of additional demand there. Assuming that data still doubles every year in North America, you may be able to sell an aggregate of 20 to 25 new lambdas this year to handle carrier data growth. But with fifteen American carriers and six Canadian each with 80 wavelength capable systems you have an easily provisioned supply of more than 1600 lambdas perhaps only 150 of which are lit. The problem is that without complete disclosure from each carrier there is no way of knowing exactly what capacity is actually in use.
Nevertheless our experts are all in agreement that used capacity is only a tiny fraction of what's available. Whether the amount is 4 percent or 12 percent, under current circumstances, makes little difference. In short we likely have at least a five or six year window with current growth before, with the addition of new lambdas, we fill the capacity of the fibers that have been lit. Sales of dark fiber IRUs have basically ended leaving long haul growth dependent on lambdas sales.
But who will buy? Prices are getting cheap enough for enterprise networks to consider using lambdas. But right now even the largest enterprise networks are mostly 155 megabits with a very few 2.5 gigabit links here and there. Most enterprises don't have the means of connecting 2.5 gigabits to a campus let along ten. This leaves other carriers who have a fraction of the capital they once did and whose need for new capacity has slackened.
Bill St Arnaud put it this way: "However, even given a rapid growth in data traffic, I think in the long haul it will be another 3 years before we see any new fibers lit, another 10 years before new fibers are blown in existing conduit and another and 15 years before new conduit is trenched in the ground." The situation seems dire and will determine the fate of many carriers. Policy makers and financial markets are being called on to make judgments but neither policy makers nor financial markets can see the carriers' resources. With the small resources at our command, The COOK Report certainly cannot do a definitive census of the carriers. But even if increased resources could be brought to bear, it is unlikely that carriers would admit to a highly embarrassing situation.
We are stuck with a conundrum where until the debt is wiped off carrier books or until demand skyrockets you have the entire industry embedded in a continued downward spiral that results in more and more bankruptcies. Demand will not skyrocket until the LEC controlled copper based local loop is by passed and either fiber or multi-megabit per second wireless reaches the vast majority of homes and businesses. Even then the demand may still be too easily filled by capacity on hand, until and unless the Canadians can make it possible to extend a wavelength to every home and business.
The technology has indeed overwhelmed the global infrastructure and its installed economic base and rendered it not economically sustainable. Canada looks to be following a strategy of enabling more uses for bandwidth while the United States follows a course of laissez faire in which the market knows best theory is freed to allow the concentration of media and carriers to consolidate an infrastructure duopoly where cable and DSL are the only officially blessed avenues to broadband. The US policy seems likely to be one of handing the market to huge and powerful old technology companies. The funny thing is that if Googin is right those companies will fail.
Describing and Understanding the Overcapacity
Bill St. Arnaud, Andrew Odlyzko and Robert Schult Discuss Details Carrier Networks with Lit Fiber, Prices, and Definitions of IRUspp. 34-36
A further difficulty in doing anything other than flying blind in this new wild and wooly telecom market that we were assured needed no regulation is that we don't even have standard terminology.
Consider for example the all important IRU. We asked St Arnaud for help. He told us. An IRU can be for any period of time but traditionally have been 20 years. IRUs started with underseas cables about 50 years ago when the cost of a cable was so prohibitive that a number of carriers were required to partner together to build the cable. The IRU was created by accountants and lawyers so that each participant could treat their portion of the cable as an "asset" with all the rights and privileges of other fixed assets like buildings - e.g the right to sell, depreciate, etc
As far as I know there is no formal legal definition of an IRU today. As such its use has become bastardized over the past years. In general an IRU implied an upfront capital payment. Leases implied annual or monthly payments - but most importantly title to the bandwidth remained with the leaseholder as opposed to IRUs where title is transferred to the IRU purchaser. In these crazy times you will see IRUs with monthly payments and leases with 100% upfront payments.
Odlyzko and St Arnaud Define the Economic Viability of the Newly Constructed Metro and Long Haul Fiber Infrastructurepp. 37-38
Odlyzko: The general conclusion is that far more fiber was deployed in the long-haul market than was necessary, too much by a factor of at least 10. (The same conclusion does not apply to the metro area, however.) Thus in principle there is no need to deploy any more fiber in long-haul for 5 or more years. What will actually happen, though, is another issue, as the industry will be trading off deployment of new fiber versus deployment of equipment that can use existing fiber more intensively.
St Arnaud: Agree 100%. Not only was too much fiber deployed, but seriously too many fibers were lit with DWDM systems.
Odlyzko: 2. The prospects for the next couple of years are extraordinarily murky. The problem is that we have not just technology trends and the basic growth rate in demand for transmission (which is still high, approaching the approximate 100% per year that still seems to hold on the Internet) to contend with, but also the huge fiber glut (with smaller gluts of routers, etc.), and the dynamics of the financial markets and bankruptcy courts.
Part Seven
A look at a Few of the Carriers ATT, Sprint, MCI and Global Crossing -- A Brief Overviewpp. 39 -41
Chris Byron in the column cited above declared "Time is running out for WorldCom -- Sooner or later, company will almost certainly face liquidation."
"Over the last 19 years, investors have poured more than $100 billion into this rural Mississippi telephone company, and basically, Worldcom has done nothing with the money except buy other phone companies. As a result, the company now sits, as of Sept. 30, 2001, with worthless goodwill on its balance sheet totaling more than $50 billion - so far as I am aware, the biggest such mountain of fake assets in all of corporate America. Add to that some $30 billion of long-term debt, plus $10 billion of unpaid bills and other short-term obligations, and you've pretty much got the whole WorldCom financial picture.
And here's the really interesting thing: Over the course of the 1990s, this $100 billion Mont Blanc of waste has not been able to generate a single dime of net new cash for the business, with all free cash flow coming from stock sales and debt financings (the "Cash Flows From Investing" part of the company's financials). In other words, the second largest telecommunications carrier in the country hasn't actually been a sound business from Day One, but has only seemed to be so because the economy was growing and stock prices were rising."
Part Eight
End of the Global Greenfield Dream
Level 3 Slashes and Burns in a Valiant Effort to Stay Afloatpp. 42 - 48
In doing this we have drilled down into just what dark fiber IRU sales are and the question of whether they will continue to play a major role in Level 3's revenue stream in the future. We conclude that they and the revenues derived from them will decline significantly. This is already happening. Level 3 does not dispute this and maintains that long term reliance on IRU income was never a part of its business plan to begin with. (Robin Gray Vice President Investor Relations For Level 3 said in an interview with us on February 19th: "We have already seen this decline. So hopefully that is factored in to our in large part already reported 2001 results."
Now it turns out that with the arrival of technology that made wavelength (lambda) sales possible in 2000 and the completion of L3's network in 2001 that lambdas (waves) began to be not only leased but also sold as IRUs. While dark fiber IRU sales already made by Level 3 will provide recurring revenue income, leases of light waves and sale of light waves as five year IRU's are now providing the bulk of Level 3 transport revenue.
Meanwhile as we have explained elsewhere in this issue the new IP optical network fiber based business model that was going to sweep the older circuit switched telcos into the proverbial 'dustbin' of history has itself failed and post Enron bought investigations onto the heads of Qwest, Global Crossing and 360 Networks. Investors are finding out that what they don't know assurances aside WILL hurt them.
Level 3 Vice President of Investor Relations Explains IRU and Revenue Issues in Interview With COOK Reportpp. 49 - 52
Grey: The majority of our historical IRU sales were dark fiber sales. Beginning in 2001, IRUs are both dark fiber and lit services. We view dark fiber IRUs in an opportunistic way. They were a great way to in effect reduce the cost of our network, but it was never strategic to the company.
Part Nine
Roxane Googin's Predictions and the Telecom World
by Andrew Odlyzkopp. 53 - 58
The conclusion is that the long distance carriers should aim to model themselves after IBM. The most promising area for them is to manage networks that are largely owned by their customers. This will be a huge change, but the IBM example shows that it possible, and also that there is time to do it. The ILECs might be tempted to follow in this same direction, but are less likely to succeed, and may have to resign themselves to operating at lower levels of the networking hierarchy. However, there is likely to be enough opportunity for them even there to thrive.
If not IRUs & Carrier's Carriers...Then What? Asset Based Telecommunicationspp. 59 - 61
Certainly the outlook for the long haul carriers is grim. A few months ago it was assumed that the LECs would buy them. Now this outcome is regarded as doubtful. Certainly we have come to believe that carrier equities and bonds are not the instruments to be basing one's retirement hopes on. LEC equities and bonds are stronger but the question is by how much. We have come to agree with Googin that the industry may well be headed for bankruptcy across the board.
But Bill St Arnaud suggests a different course saying Googin is absolutely right that the current model for investment is not sustainable. St Arnaud: I have suggested that this lack of sustainability might be the spur to move telecomm to an asset based industry as opposed to a service based industry - much like the computer industry has evolved over the past 20 years. There are companies with fiber resources who are now going into the market of designing and building for customers both condominium and wavelength approaches to the fiber market. In the design and build market a company practicing this business model will light up a dark fiber and take on responsibility of all maintenance etc on behalf of another carrier. The contract says that as the provider (fiber owner) adds additional wavelengths for other carriers to the same lit strand, the price will be reduced over time for the original customers. Also some equipment manufacturer's are moving into this space as well - some announcements pending."
COOK Report: What we have then is a kind of vertical disintegration of the carrier's carrier model which says that you build and light a global behemoth that provisions every kind of imaginable telecom bit service to every kind of customer anywhere in the world. The fiber owner may become an entity similar to a mortgage holding company. This kind of restructured company would maintain the physical resource, and enable others to gain access and to light strands that were contracted for. It would run an accounting operation that would book new customers and send out bills. It would cooperate with engineers and planners in a given area who wanted to work with it in bringing in their own groups of new customers for projects that they defined and sold. It might even have its own small team that, when it found its own customers, could light a few strands directly. Companies specializing in various aspects of network design could partner with the resource holder and then go their separate ways when assets were delivered to the customer.

Italian Vegetables With Fresh Rosemary
Rosemary thrives in Memphis, hardy enough to winter well. As a fresh herb, rosemary adds a distinctive, refreshing flavor in this delicious recipe, modified by John Baur from Giuliano Hazen's cookbook, "Every Night Italian."
A Little Rosemary Goes A Long Way
As you'll see in the list of ingredients, it doesn't take much rosemary to jazz up this vegetable dish:
- 2 medium sized potatoes, diced
- 1 red pepper, cubed
- 1 yellow pepper, cube
- 1/2 lb. fresh mushrooms, quartered
- 1/2 fresh green beans, blanched for 3-5 minutes
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-2 tablespoons freshly-harvested rosemary, cleaned minced
- 1-2 tablespoons fresh virgin olive oil
- salt/pepper to taste
Blanch the green beans for 3-5 minutes and run under cold water to stop the cooking. Cut all of the vegetables and mix in a Pyrex roasting pan. Add the fresh garlic, rosemary, salt/pepper and olive oil. Mix thoroughly. Then cook in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes to an hour. Serve hot.
Roasted Rosemary Italian Veggies: Great Leftovers!
Since this recipe will serve 8-10 adults, it easily stretches from a buffet dinner party or plated servings, to leftovers accompanying a sandwich. Its rainbow of colors and flavors yields requests for more of this nutritious dish. And best off all, it's easy to prepare. We predict that roasted Italian vegetables with rosemary will become a new family favorite!

Afarensis dating
Every so often, a curious thing happens to the Earth's magnetic field.
Last month, many around the world read about the unveiling of the remarkably intact remains of two Australopithecus sediba individuals from the Malapa cave site in South Africa.
What these remains mean for the way we draw our family tree – are they or aren't they our direct ancestors, for instance – is still being debated.
One thing that is certain, however, is that the remains fit into a previously rather barren period in the fossil record of early hominids.
Before their discovery by paleoanthropologist Lee Berger and his son in 2008, there were fossils of Homo erectus, the earliest known representative of our own genus Homo, which were dated to around 1.9 million years old.
Then there was Lucy, a fossil remain from the pre-Homo hominid Austraopithecus afarensis.
Lucy was found in Ethiopia and dated to 3.2 million years ago.
At the 2 million year mark, the crucial transition point when Australopithecus became Homo, few fossil remains existed. sediba individuals found at the Malapa cave site some 60 km northwest of Johannesburg met their demise at almost precisely this time.
In fact, the age estimate for the skeletons is 1.977 years old, give or take 2000 years – a remarkably precise approximation given their antiquity.
Dr Robyn Pickering, a geochemist working at the School of Earth Sciences at the University of Melbourne, is the lead author on a paper in the journal Science that describes how Australopithecus sediba was dated so accurately.Tags: Adult Dating, affair dating, sex dating

– Ariel I love dinner. Especially free dinner. If you arent going to marry this girl, and I am going to just guess you arent, then enjoy the free stuff, the dinners that you dont pay for, and then, when it suits you, disappear into oblivion without a second thought. I know it sounds harsh, but soon enough the sun will use up its available hydrogen, replica watches for ladies really, whats the difference.
But send thank you notes. Those are always polite. I could use some holiday panache, can you suggest something that will give me some zazz. Perhaps to get a conversation going over family – Ashley Who could not use panache. Holiday or otherwise. Heres what I would do for zazz: glue some sparkles on yourself and wear a pinwheel hat. Dear Gregor, Weve uo our house repeatedly, but the children keep getting in anyway.
How can we rid ourselves of watchfs expensive little vermin. – Melinda I invented a catchphrase I like to deploy to my friends who are considering having kids, and that catchphrase is thus: children do not exist for our convenience. To be honest, I really dont know what it means, and its pretty ambiguous as catchphrases go, but its the kind of thing that people quote back to me later, telling me that it changed their lives, and then eeplica thank grade 1 replica watches uk profusely.
So I hope it changes yours, because from what I can make out, the one you seem to have currently, sounds pretty bad. This week on Wiretap, a holiday spectacular from our archives. Joseph divulges the frustrations of having your wife cheat on you with God and the anxieties of raising a holy baby.

Last night it was a giant plush snowman and multigrain ranch Pringles which were, frankly, disgusting. Please help. Signed, Danielle Lemon Dear Lemon: Wine is for amateurs. Stick to my signature holiday cocktail of Tang and Everclear. Way more efficient, packed with Vitamin C, and pretty much shuts you down from buying anything after two glasses. Dear Gregor: My family thinks Im strange because I listen to the CBC grads though we live in Alabama.
Please help. Signed, Fred. bewildering and frightening, so my first thought would be that if you like the CBC, you probably dont belong in Alabama. Whats not clear to begin with.

So, Time. When I was in my youth (yoof, if you're from London), I was completely wedded to science, black and white thinking and a rational, cold view of the world. Classical physics that was ordered and precise. Time was a linear straight line and the 'present' moved along it at a constant speed, just as the speed of light is a constant. If it wasn't a constant, the entire laws of physics would need re writing and imagine how much of a ball-ache that would be.
As a young adult (or Pre Illness Me) time seemed to speed up. I was busy. I was one of those busy people that busy-brag on Facebook about how much time they don't have because they have a to-do list as long and as full of random tangents as a Donald Trump speech. I was parenting, which is like entering into a time black hole and you spend literal years doing laundry, moaning about lego on the floor and having entire discussions about Minecraft despite not actually having any understanding of what Minecraft even is.
Since getting sick five years ago; life imploding, losing everything, yadda yadda, time has warped yet again into a snail paced plod. There are times when it moves so painfully slowly that I wonder if it's actually moving at all. I have conversations in my head wondering if I'm actually dead and this is what eternity looks like; this soul crushing void of action, progress, events. The bad days where I'm too unwell to do anything except play Scrabble or Candy Crush on my mobile phone and stare out of the window, each feel like they're a week long. I look back at something that happened on a Tuesday and realise that it's now Friday, and only three days have passed. Three days. In those three days I've done absolutely nothing but in my head an eternity of suffering and pain has occurred. 2014 and 2015 were relatively good years. According to my Facebook photo albums I actually managed to do quite a lot. 2016 has been a festival of shit and it feels like I've just time travelled back to 2012 where I was bedridden.
Due to extreme fogginess and toxicity, I've lost the entire summer. I don't mean I just wasn't out throwing myself down water slides, taking sunset walks along the beach, or turning myself an attractive shade of 'lobster' at festivals. I literally can't remember most of it. From June until about the start of October, I can only really remember 3 or 4 days. The rest were spent looking out of the window and crying, I presume. I lost a month to a PPI that was poisoning me, a month to insane candida that was poisoning me, a month to a viral flare that was crushing my brain… and then a month trying to kill the candida and actually nearly killing myself in the process. It's been a very long few months, mostly because I was too unwell to distract myself from it and keep my mind busy.
I think not having enough time and running around like a headless chicken is unhealthy and leads to nothing but trouble, but I also think having too much time is unhealthy as you sit there wallowing and worrying. It shines a spotlight onto the physical and mental suffering and it can end up consuming you. I've found trying to keep busy, even if it's just in my mind, helps. Since my imagination pretty much stops at kittens with muskets riding rainbow unicorns, which is only entertaining for about 5 minutes, my lovely partner has bought a computer game for me that has historically sucked hours and hours of my time up. It's pointless in itself, but if it allows me to escape the reality of the situation for a few hours each day, then it'll be priceless. I also obsessionally take photos of everything whenever I leave the house, in case I can't remember that I've actually done it. It's so lovely to look back at photos of me doing normal things on the rare few good days that it really helps me to get through the bad ones.
My conclusion is that classical physics is wrong, time is not linear. It might be our perception of it speeding up or slowing down as according to quantum physics, observing something then changes it, so by observing time to be as erratic as Trump's thinking, we could actually be making it erratic. Now there's a take home message if ever I saw one. Stop talking about time going too fast or too slow and it might go at an even speed. Stop watching Trump, and he might cease to exist. We can hope. Or we could just put him in Shrodinger's box and let him take his chances.

Secret HPE letter tells sales team and partners to keep selling Arista 'confidently'
HPE's all-but quoting Rick Astley as Cisco finds another way to nobble Arista imports
HPE has gone the full Rick Astley with Arista, telling its sales team and partners customers it will never give it up, let it down, run around or desert it.
In a hoped-to-be-secret letter to "HPE Sales and Channel Partners" sighted by The Register, and signed by HPE's chief of enterprise group sales Peter Ryan and veep/GM for data centre networking Dominic Wilde, the company says: "Recent developments in this case are likely to receive media attention, so we wanted to share this communication with you."
Those "developments" are a January 13, 2017, letter [PDF] from the United States Customs and Border Protection agency (CBP) to Cisco, revoking a previous authorisation allowing Arista to resume importing products Cisco says breach its intellectual property rights.
Arista regained the right to import its kit in November 2016, and contends in a letter dated January 15 [PDF] that Cisco's action against it is motivated by a desire to reduce competition and give itself time to catch up to Arista rather than a legitimate IP concerc. Cisco accuses Arista of outright villainy.
HPE is caught up in this mess because, as spelled out in the letter, "Arista continues to be HPE's preferred partner for Software Defined Networking across the Enterprise and Service Provider segments."
Although Arista recently reported revenue growth, and is busy rebuilding its supply chain to avoid allegedly infringing components in its products, The Register is aware of one Global 100 customer that has walked away from the company citing possible shipment delays and uncertainty. We imagine others have done so too.
HPE seems to be trying to stop that sort of thing from happening more often, as its letter offers the following soothing comments:
We are committed to the success and stability of our customers and will continue to deliver Arista's programmability, automation, telemetry and reliability at scale. These are key elements in our vision to be the industry's leading provider of hybrid IT, built on the secure, next-generation, software-defined infrastructure that will run customers' data centers today, bridge to multi-cloud environments tomorrow, and power the emerging intelligent edge that will run campus, branch and Industrial loT applications for decades to come. All delivered through a world class services capability. We need to continue to stay focused on our customers and partners while these issues are being worked. Please continue to sell confidently our joint HPE-Arista solutions.
Astley's song opens with the unforgettable lines: "We're no strangers to love / You know the rules and so do I / A full commitment's what I'm thinking of / You wouldn't get this from any other guy."
HPE is sure holding up its end of the bargain. But in tech, love is seldom forever. If HPE sees customers' eyes wandering and sales slipping, surely it will soon be singing a different tune? ®
