An article in the New York Times outlines the latest counterattack by Microsoft and law enforcement agencies as they work to shut down what the article calls "one of the most pernicious forms of online crime today — botnets, or groups of computers that help harvest bank account passwords and other personal information from millions of other computers."
Congratulations to Microsoft for their dedication to helping all internet users have a safer, more trusted experience.
As this raid highlights, the often heard desire to blame some rogue country for facilitating online crime, or at least to blame an underdeveloped country for failing to maintain proper oversight of their internet traffic, is unwarranted. This week's sweep targeted command and control servers in Scranton, Pennsylvania and Lombard, Illinois. How banal is that?
Heading up the initiative from Microsoft was Richard Domingues Boscovich, senior attorney in Microsoft's Digital Crimes Unit on the official Microsoft. Here are excerpts from the company's official blog:
"As you may have read, after a months-long investigation, successful pleading before the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York and a coordinated seizure of command and control servers in Scranton, Pennsylvania and Lombard, Illinois, some of the worst known Zeus botnets were disrupted by Microsoft and our partners worldwide.
Valuable evidence and intelligence gained in the operation will be used both to help rescue peoples' computers from the control of Zeus, as well as in an ongoing effort to undermine the cybercriminal organization and help identify those responsible.
Cybercriminals have built hundreds of botnets using variants of Zeus malware. For this action – codenamed Operation b71 – we focused on botnets using Zeus, SpyEye and Ice-IX variants of the Zeus family of malware, known to cause the most public harm and which experts believe are responsible for nearly half a billion dollars in damages. Due to the unique complexity of these particular targets, unlike our prior botnet takedown operations, the goal here was not the permanent shutdown of all impacted targets. Rather, our goal was a strategic disruption of operations to mitigate the threat in order to cause long-term damage to the cybercriminal organization that relies on these botnets for illicit gain."
This is the fourth high-profile takedown operation in Microsoft's Project MARS (Microsoft Active Response for Security) initiative – a joint effort between DCU, Microsoft Malware Protection Center (MMPC), Microsoft Support and the Trustworthy Computing team to disrupt botnets and begin to undo the damage they cause by helping victims regain control of their infected computers. As with our prior takedowns, Microsoft will use intelligence gained from this operation to partner with Internet service providers (ISPs) and Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) around the world to work to rescue peoples' computers from Zeus' control. This intelligence will help quickly reduce the size of the threat that each of these botnets pose, and make the Internet safer for consumers and businesses worldwide."
You play a role in online security
Are you contributing to the botnet problem? If any of the following statements sound familiar, you are a botnet risk.
- Your anti-virus and anti-malware tools haven't been updated since you bought your computer.
- You've ignored those pesky popups telling you that your computer, browser, or programs need updating to get the latest security fixes installed.
- You love chain emails, and answering survey's and quizzes.
- You respond to spammers asking them to stop spamming you.
- You trust links you come across in emails, Twitter & Facebook and in online ads.
- You don't know a phish from a fish, a worm from a grub, or what a botnet is.
4 simple steps can make all the difference in your level of security protection – and in the protection of the whole internet
- Start by ensuring your computers are up-to-date with all available patches, fixes, and upgrades.
- Then confirm your browsers are up-to-date with all available patches, fixes, and upgrades.
- Next, check to see that your security software is up-to-date with all available patches, fixes, and upgrades.
- Now, strengthen your spam filters, and smarten up about spam so you don't click on malicious links.

Mitred corners in quilts are not difficult. Usually when I ma adding a border to a quilt I just add the border along the top and the bottom and then down each side. Sometimes it's better to mitre the corners of the quilt border to give that extra something to your quilt. It can also be particularly noticeable when a smaller project like a bag or a cushion has mitred corners for the border.
Cut the borders for a mitred border
The first point is that you will need to make the quilt borders longer than just the width of the quilt or panel. The panel shown is 10.1/2″ wide and the border is 2.1/2″ so I have cut the border strip 14.1/2″ long. That's 10″ for the quilt block and 2″ extra each side. Find the middle of both the border and the quilt block by folding in half and pin the quilt border in place.
Sew the borders
With right sides together and using a 1/4″ seam, sew the border to the top of the quilt block. Begin sewing 1/4″ from the edge of the quilt block and finish sewing 1/4″ from the edge of the quilt block. Backstitch at each end so that the stitching doesn't come loose.
Repeat the procedure with a strip of border down the next edge of the quilt, again beginning and ending the stitching 1/4″ from the edge.
Fold the quilt or quilt block along the diagonal with right sides together. Match up the two border strips so that they are in line with each other.
Mitre the corners
Line your ruler up and along the fold line of the quilt, through the last stitch of the seam and across the border strips. Mark a line on the border strip following the line of the ruler.
Stitch along the line that you have marked, starting stitchingon on the last stitch of the seam line. Trim the excess triangle off about 1/4″ from the seam line.
There is another method of mitring the corners of your quilt borders that I have used. I don't find it as neat a method as this one but you may find that it suits you better. Click on mitred borders.

"I have to write to say what a great pair of goggles you have come up with. I was recently on a small brush fire and I was wearing my new ESS Wildland goggles for the second time. It was a quick-moving fire, and we were second or third in, so we were into the smoke pretty good. My eyes were clear and happy because of my new goggles. A captain from another engine who was rubbing his eyes under his sunglasses asked me, 'How are those new goggles?' I said, 'Great. My eyes don't hurt a bit.' As a matter of fact, because of the great fit, no smoke even made into my eyes. Our department issues the old tanker goggle from WWII, which doesn't seal around your eyes, is very uncomfortable, and warps during the off-season. Thanks--I hope more firefighters out there discover your great product."

When the temperatures rise, a short skirt is your best friend to stay breezy and cute. While the 70s are in full trendy swing this summer, I thought I'd throw one more adorable trend your way that shows the influence of the 70's. Long sleeved minidresses, often in funky florals and paisleys, with fuller sleeves, are a great trend to wear in the summer with bare legs and wooden platforms, and come fall, are perfect layering pieces.
Style #1: Turtleneck dress
Alexa Chung's is a great example of the most wearable version of the trend, often in a sweet print, but with a high neck that balances out the short skirt.
You can find Alexa's exact dress here!
Style #2: Collared dress
This sexy seventies secretary look is courtesy of a collar that opens up to show some skin, often in a fabric with a little more structure or tailoring than the aforementioned style.
Style #3: Bell sleeves and v-neck
Whether or not your incarnation of this style is as glam as Carrie Underwood's, a deep v-neck is best balanced out with full bell sleeves. This style can look over-the-top, so it's best paired with a solid color or very simple print rather than a bold psychedelic fabric.
Style #4: Simple cut in a kitschy print
When it comes down to it, print is everything for the seventies vibe of this style. A simple, loose cut is perfect to tone down a silly print, and can be worn alone or layered easily.
Style #5: Bohemian white
A white and lacey style is best paired with bohemian accessories and layered necklaces to keep it from going too sweet. A little lace or crochet detail is sweet, but make sure it doesn't cover the look head-to-toe.

Kid 606 Who Still Kill Sound?
From the jump, Who Still Kill Sound? announces the return of Miguel Depedro at his bratty best, shaking off the relative consonance of last year's Kill Sound Before Sound Kills You. Numbers like "Slammin' Ragga Bootleg Track" and "Live Acid Jam" are suitably titled, as is "Robitussin Motherfucker," a tribute to Houston's DJ Screw, the progenitor of the chopped and screwed remix. Even after imbibing a bottle of cough syrup, the Kid can't help but turn his phasers to full blast, slowing only the vocal in this otherwise manic post-jungle burner. Indeed, if the globe seems to be spinning faster these days, blame Kid 606.

Proposals for Reform: National Task Force on Rule of Law & Democracy
The values that undergird American democracy are being tested. As has become increasingly clear, our republic has long relied not just on formal laws and the Constitution, but also on unwritten rules and norms that constrain the behavior of public officials. These guardrails, often invisible, curb abuses of power. They ensure that officials act for the public good, not for personal financial gain. They protect nonpartisan public servants in law enforcement and elsewhere from improper political influence. They protect businesspeople from corrupting favoritism and graft. And they protect citizens from arbitrary and unfair government action. These practices have long held the allegiance of public officials from all political parties. Without them, government becomes a chaotic grab for power and self-interest.
Lately, the nation has learned again just how important those protections are — and how flimsy they can prove to be. For years, many assumed that presidents had to release their tax returns. It turns out they don't. We assumed presidents would refrain from interfering in criminal investigations. In fact, little prevents them from doing so. Respect for expertise, for the role of the free press, for the proper independent role of the judiciary, seemed firmly embedded practices. Until they weren't.
Presidents have overreached before. When they did so, the system reacted. George Washington's decision to limit himself to two terms was as solid a precedent as ever existed in American political life. Then Franklin D. Roosevelt ran for and won a third and then a fourth term. So, we amended the Constitution to formally enshrine the two-term norm. After John F. Kennedy appointed his brother to lead the Justice Department and other elected officials sought patronage positions for their family members, Congress passed an anti-nepotism law. Richard Nixon's many abuses prompted a wide array of new laws, ranging from the special prosecutor law (now expired) to the Budget and Impoundment Control Act and the War Powers Act. Some of these were enacted after he left office. Others, such as the federal campaign finance law, were passed while he was still serving, with broad bipartisan support, over his veto. In the wake of Water- gate, a full-fledged accountability system — often unspoken — constrained the executive branch from lawless activity. This held for nearly half a century.
In short, time and again abuse produced a response. Reform follows abuse — but not automatically, and not always. Today the country is living through another such moment. Once again, it is time to act. It is time to turn soft norms into hard law. A new wave of reform solutions is essential to restore public trust. And as in other eras, the task of advancing reform cannot be for one or another party alone.
Hence the National Task Force on Rule of Law and Democracy. The Task Force is a nonpartisan group of former public servants and policy experts. We have worked at the highest levels in federal and state government, as prosecutors, members of the military, senior advisers in the White House, members of Congress, heads of federal agencies, and state executives. We come from across the country and reflect varying political views. We have come together to develop solutions to repair and revitalize our democracy. Our focus is not on the current political moment but on the future. Our system of government has long depended on leaders following basic norms and ground rules designed to prevent abuse of power. Unless those guardrails are restored, they risk being destroyed permanently — or being replaced with new antidemocratic norms that future leaders can exploit.
We have examined norms and practices surrounding financial conflicts, political interference with law enforcement, the use of government data and science, the appointment of public officials, and many other related issues. We have consulted other experts and former officials from both parties. Despite our differences, we have identified concrete ways to fix what has been broken.

Elliot's art award[vimeo http://vimeo.com/37508978 w=590 h=330]
Elliot's teacher selected her to receive an art award at a recent assembly. We were able to attend and surprise her (along with Mimi, Pop and Dampa)—she didn't know she was getting it until her name was called!
It's a He![vimeo http://vimeo.com/35678132 w=590 h=330]
We're so excited to be having a boy . . . !
elliot's stage // Piano Recital : 2012.01.22[vimeo http://vimeo.com/35524750 w=590 h=330]
Elliot had her first piano recital in Tacoma yesterday—at University of Puget Sound's Schneebeck Hall (where she also takes her weekly lessons.) Despite a bit of stage fright about having to introduce herself and her piece to the audience, she played wonderfully.
Elliot's Stage // the big week
Sure, Elliot, you want to join the Glee club? OK, singing is a great skill to learn! Oh, and you want to be in the Peter Pan Musical? You bet—you love that story and it will be a fun experience.
Oh, wait—you mean your Glee Club recital and you Peter Pan performances and your piano studio recital are all on the same week . . . !!??
What did we get ourselves into??!
Yes, all of Elliot's various activities somehow managed to culminate in performances during the same week. Fortunately, there was no ballet performance added to the list. We basically lived in the Veteran's Memorial Hall where both her Glee club recital and Peter Pan performances were held. We also spent whatever time we could carve out in front of the Piano—along with several early mornings before school at her piano studio—practicing her pieces. And I have to say she handled it incredibly well (better than her parents!) She even got sad when her early morning duet practices were over . . .
And before you grandmothers and great grandmothers and other "loving worriers" out there worry—she also got a lot of free play time. Perhaps not as much as usual, but still some. And lesson learned: find out when performances are before committing to activities!
Below are photos and videos from Elliot's big performance week.

Elliot played a Lost Girl, The Bluebird of Happiness and a Fairy Friend and was joined in this production by her friends Kate and Gabriella. This is a memory she'll always treasure—she thrived being back stage and bonding with the other kids :

Elliot's stage // Glee at Sonoma Hills
Elliot's Glee club recently had a practice performance at Sonoma Hills Retirement Home. This is Elliot's first non-school singing performance, so we weren't sure what to expect, but there was no sign of the stage fright that Sarah and I were (are) prone to. Instead, she stood front and center and happily, proudly, loudly sang her songs.
She received several superlative compliments afterwards and we couldn't have been prouder!
Elliot's World // forest animals + park adventures
Elliot introduces us to the forest animals that populate her world and she regales us with a convoluted tale from the wilds of the playground . . .
Elliot's World
Elliot has become inseparable from the camera. She films herself doing puzzles. She films me reading her bedtime story. She films a tour of the house and all the objects in her room.
I don't know where she gets it from . . .
She also always introduces herself to the camera—which is a must-see.
Here are the first two of what will possibly become many cunning tales from the world of Elliot.

5 Reasons Why Bitcoin Could ThriveReliability
Much of what has allowed Bitcoin to grow at such a rapid rate is that it is independent of banking institutions. Bitcoin transactions are made through a user network based on cryptographic proof. The advantage here is that there is no need to trust a third-party middleman. Without the need to go through a bank or other financial institution, users can make effortless transactions that are quite secure. This gives Bitcoin a flexibility that users don't get with banks or even institutions such as Paypal, which may charge a fee for each transaction. Bitcoin transactions carry no service fee. This fact alone has made the currency particularly attractive internationally and lowered the barrier to entry for new users.
One of the strongest factors that Bitcoin has in its favor is its ease of use. There is no need to go to an ATM or to walk into a bank and visit the teller to access it. Even compared to online transactions, the currency is quite easy to use. There is no need to enter lengthy debit or credit card numbers along with security codes; all users have to do is sign into their accounts. They can also make purchases without the added worry of placing sensitive financial information on the Internet that could be susceptible to compromise. This ease of use is part of what's allowed Bitcoin to extend its user base. (Learn more about how personal data is compromised online in How Hackers Get Your Data.)
The Bitcoin's recent meteoric surge has occurred partly as a result of the financial crisis in Cyprus, in the which the country threatened to tax individuals' bank accounts. It seems that a growing number of banking customers, disillusioned with the financial sector status quo, are seeking new ways to store money. Bitcoin provides a storage of value that isn't controlled by banking institutions, which, let's face it, haven't exactly been model corporate citizens over the past few years. In short, users want to place their money into something that they can trust, and are increasingly willing to place that confidence in a virtual currency over a bank.
One criticism about Bitcoin has been its anonymity and so far it is anonymous, for the most part. But the system is also very transparent. Every transaction is recorded on the network so that there is an up-to-date record as to what each user's balance is as well as the amount and location of each transaction. By keeping a detailed and current record of every exchange, Bitcoin provides a transparency that liquid assets do not have. It is for this reason that Bitcoin has seemed all the more attractive to those trying to store assets. (You can read a great article that explains Bitcoin's anonymity/transparency at How Anonymous Is Bitcoin?, from Coindesk.com.)
Bitcoin's decentralization is one of the most important reasons why it - or something like it - has a chance to thrive in the future. Internationally, millions of people are searching for a currency that is immune to the constantly changing movements of national currencies and the roles that governing bodies play in manipulating them. By adopting a virtual currency, Bitcoin allows users a level playing field that's much less easily influenced by the actions of sovereign nations. It also provides a platform whereby users from around the world can easily connect without having to worry about exchange rates and all of the costs associated with changing currencies. (Learn more in Will Bitcoin Win the Race to Become an International Currency?)
5 Reasons Why Bitcoin Could FailVolatility
One of the main factors that skeptics point to about Bitcoin's long-term viability is its extreme volatility. For example, the value of Bitcoin hovered around $15 from September of 2012 to February of 2013; in May, it had climbed beyond $150. While that may sound like a dream for investors, it highlights the instability of the currency's value. Because of a lack of market value and liquidity, the long term value - and therefore reliability - of the currency is difficult to predict. While increased demand as a result of the financial crises in Europe has driven prices up, who is to say where the currency's value will be in, say, six months, or even a year? This unpredictability will continue to be an obstacle for those who wish to embrace the currency long term.
Future Government Regulation
It remains unclear how advanced nations, especially the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Russia, will treat the new virtual phenomenon. So far, leaders in these nations have been mum on details, although the U.S recently acknowledged the currency and stated that it will be subject to the current rule of law regarding currency manipulation and transmission. Many skeptics believe that as the currency continues to surge in popularity, governments will be compelled to levy regulations on Bitcoin that will make it much less attractive to users internationally.
Scalability Limits
In its current state, Bitcoin has limits in terms of scalability. In order for it to expand in the way that many have predicted, both the software and servers backing the currency will have to improve tremendously. There is currently no indication as to how the Bitcoin creators will go about solving this issue. While many Bitcoin insiders do not view this as a huge obstacle, skeptics point to this limitation as one of the reasons why buyers should be cautious.
Security Concerns
Although Bitcoin is predicated on some form of identity-based ownership, many security concerns remain regarding its future. Because Bitcoin is a relatively new technology, it is still susceptible to gamesmanship by hackers. Recently, it was revealed that hackers have found a way to manipulate Bitcoin currency to their advantage. First, they pick a target that exchanges Bitcoin for cash and shut it down. This sudden shock to the system drives the value of Bitcoins down. Then, opportunistically, these hackers swoop in and purchase Bitcoin currency at a discounted rate and just wait for the value to increase to collect a profit. This sort of cheating is clearly unfair and there's no system in place to stop it, but what's most trouble is that there isn't even a governing body to report it to.
It's Untested
Bitcoins speedy rise in popularity makes it easy to forget that the currency is a little over four years old. For this reason, it is seen by many as more of an experiment than a long-term financial option. Users should be careful about placing too much trust in a currency that has yet to withstand the test of time. For all of the gripes that have been made about the dollar, it has been around for more than two centuries. There is at least empirical data that experts can point to in trying to assess its behavior. The same can't be said about Bitcoin, which is something to consider before throwing your life savings into the currency.
It's hard to say for sure whether Bitcoin will survive, but one thing is certain: It represents the future of payment either way.

There is plenty to do in beautiful Rothenburg ob der Tauber whether you enjoy walking around or going to museums. On our second (and last) day in Rothenburg we enjoyed a hearty breakfast at our hotel. Caffeinated and ready to explore, we wondered what we should do.
The sun was shining and we were energized, so we decided to set off on a walk downhill to descend below to the village of Detwang.
If you're in the mood to go off the beaten path (and see an incredible 10th century church), follow these directions to get to the nearby town of Detwang:
Start in the castle garden of Rothenburg with your back to the city gates. Take the path on the left side and walk down the steep hill down to the river.
Continue down the steep hill (just remember the reverse of what goes up must come down...). Eventually you will come to a covered bridge. We set out early enough to see everything coated in a layer of frost shimmering in the sunlight.
Turn left after the covered bridge and you'll see this odd building:
This strange building that seems to be elevated on top of a concrete pedestal is actually called Toppler Castle (you can see it up top from Rothenburg's Castle Garden as well). It is older than it looks. It was built in 1388 as Mayor Toppler's summer home.
After you take a look at it, turn around and continue straight past the covered bridge (as if you made a right initially when crossing it from Rothenburg), continuing on to the tiny village of Detwang. Detwang is even older than Rothenburg ob der Tauber, and is little more than a church and a smattering of houses and bed and breakfasts.
We approached the Church of St. Peter and Paul and paid €1.50 each to enter. (Make sure you don't go during lunch hours or you will find it closed - see hours below.) An attendant unlocked the doors just for us and we entered for our "private viewing" of the church.
The small church showcases another wooden altarpiece by Tilman Riemenschneider (his other one is nearby in St Jakob's church in Rothenburg). Unlike in St. Jakob's though, we got to stand before this masterpiece alone. This is the center panel of his Altar of the Holy Cross:
Detwang may be a tiny village but it offers a glimpse of history that seems to be untouched, waiting just for you to discover it. The church is quite old - it was built around 968 AD and has gone through renovations over the many years following. Inside there is a cross-shaped relic covered in glass in the front near the altar that dates from 1000-1050 AD.
Detwang is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered for those who venture down the hill from Rothenburg. If you have the time, I recommend taking a walk along the Tauber valley and exploring this little-known village.
Church of St. Peter and Paul
Open April-October 8:30am-12:00pm / 1:30pm-5:00pm; November-March 10:00am-12:00pm / 2:00pm-4:00pm
Admission: €1.50 each

Thailand military coup - in 60 seconds
Thailand's army chief Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha has announced that the military is taking control of the government while it restores order and pushes through political reforms.
Martial law was declared on Tuesday, and the coup comes amid a political crisis and after months of escalating tensions.
The move could enrage supporters of the government: The cabinet has been told to report to the military, TV broadcasting is suspended, political gatherings are banned and a nationwide overnight curfew is in force.
Here is the background to the crisis - in 60 seconds.

|Medtronic Completes Acquisition of Mazor Robotics
Company Integrates Robotics and Aims to Make Spine Surgery More Predictable and Transform Outcomes for Hospitals, Surgeons, and Patients
DUBLIN - December 19, 2018 - Medtronic plc (NYSE:MDT) today announced it has completed the acquisition of Israel-based Mazor Robotics (NASDAQ:MZOR, TASE:MZOR.TZ). Under the terms of the acquisition agreement announced on September 20, 2018, Mazor shareholders will receive $58.50 per American Depository Share, or $29.25 per ordinary share, in cash. The total value of the transaction is reported at $1.7 billion, or $1.3 billion net of Medtronic's existing stake in Mazor and cash acquired. Medtronic's acquisition of Mazor ranks among the largest orthopedic deals completed in 2018.
This acquisition strengthens Medtronic's position as a global innovator in enabling technologies for spine surgery. By combining Medtronic's market-leading spine implants, navigation, and 3D imaging technology with Mazor's robotic-assisted surgery systems, Medtronic offers a fully-integrated procedural solution for surgical planning, workflow, execution and confirmation.
"With today's announcement, in bringing the two companies together Medtronic aims to accelerate the advancement and adoption of robotic-assisted surgery in spine for the benefit of patients, providers, and the healthcare system more broadly," said Geoff Martha, executive vice president and president of the Restorative Therapies Group at Medtronic. "This is the latest example of our Surgical Synergy strategy, which we believe will transform spine care through procedural solutions that integrate implants, biologics and enabling technologies like navigation, 3D imaging, robotics and powered surgical tools."
Medtronic believes robotic-assisted surgery can play a transformative role in refining procedures, reducing variability and impacting procedural outcomes in spine surgery. The Mazor X(TM) Stealth Edition - a co-development effort between Mazor and Medtronic - was recently cleared by the FDA. This new system seamlessly incorporates StealthStation(TM) software into the Mazor(TM) X robotic-assisted surgery platform - leveraging the power of two industry-leading technologies to deliver procedural predictability and flexibility through real-time image guidance, visualization and navigation informed by interactive 3D planning and information systems.
"Everything that happens in the operating room depends on the trained medical professionals who are there, and that will never change. However, the Mazor X Stealth Edition gives us a very powerful tool to plan our desired surgical procedure and help make sure the surgery takes place exactly as planned with a high degree of accuracy," commented Christopher R. Good, M.D. F.A.C.S., spine surgeon, director of Scoliosis & Spinal Deformity and president of Virginia Spine Institute. "Incorporating multiple modalities together, including computerized surgical planning, three-dimensional assessment of spinal anatomy, robotic guidance and live navigation feedback all in one platform leads to a synergy that makes my operating room much smarter."
Mazor Robotics joins Medtronic's Neurosurgery business, which is part of the Restorative Therapies Group's Brain Therapies division.
Financial Highlights
Medtronic's financial advisors for the transaction are Perella Weinberg Partners LP and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, with Meitar Liquornik Geva Leshem Tal and Ropes & Gray LLP acting as legal advisors. Mazor's financial advisors are J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Duff & Phelps LLC, with Kirkland & Ellis LLP and Luchtenstein Levy Wiseman Law office acting as legal advisors.

Kelis - Cross the border remix lyrics
Cross the border remix by Kelis
You want me to cross the border?
Well come on baby
YOu want me to cross the border?
Well come on baby
They call me A.J., A.K.A. Ant Jones
And aye, the AK tear bones, Homes
Seldomely ever talk over cell phones
Or chase dudes, I choke 'em like bass tubes
Every whip, every b**ch, every leather coat
Since '88 to right now I was never broke
Back then I was V'd up
With a nut cup, problem with the price nigga? see Buck
Never waitin' in line nigga, I bump
Pay everybody sh*t just to get to the front
Young, did I mention Twenty One?
With more houses that sell than Century Twenty One
Cops respect 'cause they know we big
And ain't lock us up for bodies that they know we did
That M sh*t clean you out like ammonia
Imagine '89 f**kin' Appolonia.
Last name Robinson, first name Stacy
I was gettin' Cagney high and gettin' head from Lacy
'88 graffiti, chicks was still masin'
I was a Millionaire when Rick James was freebasin'
I paved the way, showed ballers how to ride today
I chopped the roof off my ride that day
Imagine all the hate I made?
Used to have to pull my sun visor down for shade on cloudy days
They would shoot up my cars
I would just slide back through with new rims and a paint job
Flamboyant like a gold One-Ninety
With a side panel reading, I want you to find me
C'mon, I sold that Night Rider, and it came with a Kit
When you put the sh*t in the needle and hit it, that was it
Ron..ahem...Heroin, excuse me ya'll
I'm from Virginia where the Southern draw
Don't mind me...
See, it's lil' Bucky, my jewels? husky
Connects like broads, I f**k 'em but they don't f**k me
Who owe me money in the streets? try to duck me
Wigs get split like bananas, trust me
Keep it butter, call me Land 'O Lakes
Got more crack on the streets than Cali after earthquakes
Southwest gon' vouch for this
Our teams trade off nicks (Knicks) like Ewing and the draft pick
Easy money, that was all in Eighty-Nine
Locked down every block, made all gravy mine
Gucci slides cost Three-Twenty-Five
I, pulled up in the Three-Twenty-Five I
And A.J. bought a Joe-Paul-Mary
Silk shirts, his gators was Blueberry
And this the sh*t OG's used to do
Scoop every young boy and treat 'em to City Blue.
It's like ya'll don't know beatbox, I was O.T. at Twelve
Given a half at Six, an O.Z. at Twelve
Ain't nobody come near the minor
That was runnin' spots in both North and South Carolina
By Ninety I was already a crack legend
Pullin' up a year early in a brown Ac Legend
I ain't cop from Uptown, I re'd by the shores
And I could go a month straight in Fila Valores
The way I used to equip with my features
I was comin' to Junior High School in better whips than the teachers
'Bout my paper, I ain't even think 'bout the chicks
But I kept everything Gucci from my link to my kicks
Beatbox Mike, I learned to cook as a child
Got knocked for attempt, the best lawyers looked at my trial
Got Five at Eighteen, I took it and smiled
Came home in Ninety-Two and flooded Brooklyn with valves
I'm back...
You want me to cross the border?
Well come on baby
You want me to cross the border?
Well come on baby

I've a very busy few weeks coming up, and am really looking forward to it all! Some canny suitcase packing is required once again, but I reckon I've got it down to a fine art now...
On 1st and 2nd Aug, Admiral Fallow will be heading out to a couple of festivals: Kendal Calling (Calling Out stage, 6pm) and The Glasgow Mixtape (Glasgow Green, 7:30pm). Then we've a day at home before the first of two chunks of tracking for our next album.
It's also going to be great to tutor at the Folkworks Junior Summer School again - last year was just brilliant. I'll be part of a concert celebrating 25 years of the Summer Schools, Elvet Methodist Church, Durham on 15th August.
Then it's straight back to the studio with the band to continue work on our new songs. There are sure to be photographic updates of the process over at AF's Facebook page, so keep an eye on that for more information on our zen recording rituals.

Now open the left side of the PCs case to see if any slots have the freedom with the USB card. (e.g., 2 PCI slots can be purchased) Next, its extremely important to understand the version of operation system placed on the pc. (e.g., Microsoft Windows® XP Home Edition) Lastly, find the USB version (1.1, 2.0, 3.0) you require. The total amount saved between USB versions is incorporated in the data transfer speed.

Suggestions: One thing most buyers appear to focus on would be the height and width of the computer monitor. The saying the larger, the higher quality seriously isn't necessarily true. Look at the different types of games you can be playing. By way of example, for 3D action games, a large monitor is not necessary. Except for strategic and RPG games, it is better to possess a larger monitor. Some gamers are against utilizing a large monitor, as details from the corners and sides with the screen could possibly be missed. Evaluate which types of games you can be playing to assist you to pick a model that suits your preferences. A 22-24 size monitor might be considered a-around choice. The next feature is resolution. Lcd screen monitors have a wide range of resolution ratio choices. The higher resolution you have for gaming, the greater performance graphic card you will need. A resolution greater than full HD, that is 1920x1080 is not necessary, although, you'll be able to set it with a lower resolution, however the best picture come in its native resolution. Your third biggest feature to contemplate could be the Response Time. This is actually the speed from which pixels change color in real time, hence the lower the worthiness, the faster the computer monitor screen is. Small response time (latency or delay) should be used for fluid display of action scenes and fast motions. A monitor with high latency, shows remains of previous images around the current image. This is what's called ghosts. An excellent latent period is 5ms or lower. Another feature for consideration may be the Viewing Angle, it's the angle where you can view the exact image being displayed on the watch's screen properly. Generally, the higher the amount, the higher. Most LCD monitors now available develop the appropriate specification, that is typically 170° horizontally and 170° vertically. Other technical settings you will note about the monitor are brightness, contrast, number of supported colors, etc. These settings in available today models of LCD monitors have become similar and not crucial for gaming. An element which can be definitely not connected with gaming but is strongly linked to ecology and economy, is known as Power consumption. Differences between models vary but not assist you in your final decision.

Last night was nice, time to get back to what I do best. Shows in Austin are some of the best, despite the heat. It was good to be back on my usual turf. Got to Stubbs a little earlier than usual and met up with everyone for a little pre- game warm up (drinks) Made it outside just in time for the opening band J versus K, who despite the fact that maybe were a little to emo for my taste put on a good show. You can tell they are cool guys and were really glad to be there and that goes on long way with me. Bloc Party then went on promptly at 9:15, oh Stubbs and your curfews, and the show started off great. A little too much bass in the speakers for the first song but this was quickly resolved. Played all essentials plus a few new tracks, which are slower ballads. Hard to say what the new album will be like, hopefully not too much a departure. Followed the first half of the show with an encore, talked about the heat, and how they were not used to it being from the U.K and all. I'm kind of worn out from the fact that I have seen 50+ shows in the last few weeks (I know poor me) but this has to rank really high up on that list. So good to be home......
The Politics are playing @ Momo's on tomorrow, so excited about this one.
Me a couple of weeks ago :

The holidays are full of annual traditions. For many that includes checking out the tree at Rockefeller Center or kissing under the mistletoe. But for us techie kids, there is one annual holiday tradition that is especially near and dear to our hearts – and that is tracking Santa via the NORAD Santa Tracker.
NORAD is a military organization whose day to day responsibilities include watching the skies and waterways of the U.S. and Canada in order to keep them safe. But every Christmas eve, NORAD uses their radar, satellites, Santa Cams and even fighter jets to track Santa Claus as he makes his way around the globe. According to USA Today, this is the 56th year that NORAD will be providing their Santa tracking service. They even have over 1,200 volunteers ready on stand-by to answer phone calls at their call center. Last year, NORAD logged over 80,000 calls and the NoradSanta.org site received over 15 million visitors. The excitement all starts at 3AM on Saturday in Virginia, but thanks to the good old internet, kids from all over the world can join in on the fun.
Back in 2008, NORAD got even more high tech by partnering with Google Earth as tool to use for an even more visual way to let kids track down Santa. This year kids have yet another way to find out where Santa is right now, by using the official NORAD Tracks Santa app, which is available for the iPhone and Android devices. The apps also come with an Elf Toss game. Alternatively, kids can also follow Santa by using Google Maps for mobile by searching for [santa]. Good luck tracking him down, your house is probably next on his list but only if you have been good.

Most memorably, perhaps, was when singer Joe Jonas broke it off with Taylor in 2008, and then began dating actress Camilla Belle: the song Taylor wrote, Better Than Revenge, was nigh venomous: "She's an actress/She's better known for the things that she does on the mattress".

Tensions have been high for weeks following the Gaza war and Israel's moves to expand settlement building in eastern areas of the city, which the Palestinians want for a capital of an independent state alongside Gaza and the West Bank.


text: During our cold January visit, we stayed at the Koryo Hotel. One change that was hard to ignore was the huge gaping hole next to the venerable Koryo. Construction for a new hotel was underway and the site was quite busy, with several work teams and plenty of revolutionary music. It is supposedly meant to be a 75 storey structure, though we also heard 45 storeys thrown out. I have previously written about the hotel market in Pyongyang, and short of major changes in how North Korea relates to foreigners, I am still bearish about hotel demand in the medium term.

Another library day, between running around dropping off kids and remembering to pray and be grateful.
There are these two teenagers at my table in the library - at first I was irritated by their chatting, but they're so in like, it's completely impossible to hate them. I wonder if I've ever had a romance like that. I sort of skipped over the whole "teenage romance" phase, so I'm not really sure I've ever been quite as I-need-to-be-in-physical-contact-with-you-every-second, puppy-dog-eyes-lost-in-love as these two.
Who knows, though! It could still happen!
In other more sobering news, a student at one of my kids' (c-) schools committed suicide today, and I'm not sure what I can or will say to c- when I see him. I really hope the child's family will be okay. I wish life couldn't seem to get so difficult and intolerable that anyone could do this. I don't know how can I make that better. I wish every child and person could feel and be around enough love to know that everything will be okay.
M- and I are going to see a comedy show tonight at Paname Art Cafe, a new English-language stand-up program called "Funny Bones".
To be quite honest I don't have very high hopes for this show- I'm just wishing it will be decent enough that M- can enjoy a few laughs. I really wanted to see the "French Fried" finale last Tuesday, but we couldn't make it.
Ramadan Day 2 is going well. It's only three in the afternoon, but I feel great and energized. I'm trying to remember to be more patient with people, and more kind. I feel like I often think about what people can do for me, and how I can benefit from them. I'm really trying to reverse that. I want to start thinking about what I can do for other people, and why their lives would be better with me.
Starting today! M- is gonna get his pants charmed off; he'll never know what him!
All the love,

I haven't fished too well over the last few weeks and my poor rewards reflect that. My time off work is scarce and I feel I've chosen the wrong venue at the wrong time.
My worst decision has been a few barbel sessions in the flooded waters of the River Trent, when I'd probably have been better fishing for roach on the Hampshire Avon. I caught just one average sized fish in 3 days while constantly having to re cast because of debris being washed down stream. When I compared these efforts to some friends who've caught some splendid roach and dace on the Avon, I must admit to feeling a tad jealous! Still, if I'd caught a lump or two my thoughts may have been different.
I tried fishing in my normal swims with extra heavy feeders. This is where I caught my only fish. After that I fished behind trees, hoping they would snag most of the weed and leaves that were fouling my line. I suppose the trees did their job, but my tips remained still.
Frustrated with the barbel, I tried for some canal chub. A few weeks earlier I'd had a decent morning after them, catching fish of 3lbs+ 4lb 2oz and 4lb 14oz. These are decent chub for a canal and I've caught them over 5lbs in the past, despite hardly fishing for them. There was a reported 7lb+ fish in the angling press a year ago, so maybe they deserve more attention.
My first session ended early thanks to some torrential rain. After I'd taken the chub out of my keepnet for a quick pic, before putting them back, I was puzzled about all the debris in the bottom of it. Id not been fishing under any trees so I had a closer look. It was a load of dark red mess. I looked over to the far bank and saw what it was. There was a large hawthorn tree laden with its fruits. Talk about a natural holding spot. Judging by the remains in my net, they must gorge themselves on them. This lead to a plan. I went back with no bait, just picking some berries on my way to the swim. I thought I couldn't fail. How wrong I was. There was probably nothing wrong with my plan, except I couldn't cast the berries to the far bank. They just kept coming off the hook. The worst thing was I almost took my pole instead which would have been perfect. I went back home and haven't been back since. Maybe it's a plan for next autumn now. The days and nights are getting colder, and I've just sorted my pike gear out!

HAMILTON â Zimbabweâs spirited cricketers lost the battle, but won global praise for the way they bravely took on the worldâs best team before succumbing to a 62-run defeat as the opening game of Group B of the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup produced fireworks galore at Seddon Park yesterday.
The phrase âspirited Zimbabweâ was a common theme in the coverage of a game that exploded in the final 10 overs of South Africaâs innings, producing a record World Cup fifth wicket stand by David Miller and JP Duminy, who both hit centuries, after the Zimbabweans had taken control earlier on by reducing their powerful neighbours to 83 for four.
That the Proteas, one of the favourites to win the World Cup, ended up reaching 339 for 4 was largely because of Miller and Duminyâs hitting, but even after that, Zimbabweâs spirited run chase â where they suffered the smallest losing margin, among the four teams that lost in the first four games â was hailed as a gallant effort.
Interestingly, all the four losing teams, in the first two days of this World Cup, batted second but England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka all suffered heavier defeats and with the exception of the English, playing against teams not really as classy as this South African side.
Chamu Chibhabha and Hamilton Masakadza made 64 and 80 to give Zimbabwe hope of a successful run chase and that the Zimbabweans were 190-2, after 32 overs, must have concerned the South Africans.
But, soon, the Proteasâ pedigree showed and Zimbabwe were eventually bundled out for 277.
No wonder why AB de Villiers, the South African skipper, believes Zimbabwe have what it takes to make a major impression on this World Cup.
âThese blokes can play some cricket. I will not be surprised if they cause a few upsets later on the tournament,â AB de Villiers said.
Although Zimbabwe lost, their margin of defeat was the closest among the first four completed games in the competition so far and skipper Elton Chigumbura hoped that would serve as a warning to their upcoming opposition.
âThey should do their homework,â Chigumbura, who won the toss and elected to field, said. âWe are here to play positive cricket. We will be positive from ball one until the end.
âWe are disappointed with losing the game but the way we played had a lot of positives. We were in the game for a long time. Maybe we lost it in the last five overs, both batting and bowling.
â(Solomon) Mireâs over â the 48th â which went for 30, thatâs where we gave too many runs. And then we were going well with the partnership between Hamilton and Chibhabha.
âTo have a guy like Hamilton, who is a senior player, playing the way he is runs off on the rest of us. Itâs good to see him scoring runs. He is a match-winner. If he gets another chance, he can finish the game but today he didnât.
âWe lost wickets at the wrong times. We needed wickets in hand in the last 15 overs but everyone was up for it. We just need to try and finish off. Chasing big scores is an art so we need to find the best strategy.â
Coming into the tournament as top contenders for the crown, South Africa was expected to dictate terms, but that wasnât the case until Miller and Duminy came on.
Getting together at a precarious 83 for 4, the two added 256 runs in an unbroken fifth-wicket partnership â the best ever for the fifth wicket in One-Day Internationals.
The previous record was held by Eoin Morgan and Ravi Bopara, who made 226 against Ireland in 2013. Miller scored 138 from 92 balls with seven fours and nine hits over the fence.
Duminy was the one playing second fiddle in the partnership, but even, he picked up his scoring rate as the innings wore on, and ended with 115 from 100 balls with nine fours and three sixes.
Zimbabweâs bowling attack, which showed a lot of promise early in the innings when it sent back Quinton de Kock, Hashim Amla, Faf du Plessis and de Villiers, fell away once Duminy and Miller took charge.
A decade â thatâs how long itâs been since Zimbabwe had South Africa four down with the teamâs hundred still a way away. Opportunity beckoned, but Miller and Duminy heard the call louder.
Their counter-attacking centuries reinforced the skill that runs down this mighty batting line-up, as a score of 83 for 4 grew into 339 for 4 and the world record for the fifth-wicket partnership was updated to 256 off 178.
South Africa had taken 24.1 overs to score 100 runs and 40.2 overs to get to 200, but with Miller and Duminy calling the shots after that, the runs came quick.
It reached 300 from 47.5 overs, a feat made possible because Miller took on Mire in the 48th over, smashing 30 runs. But it wasnât one-way traffic.
Dale Steyn, the best bowler in the world, went for 64 runs from nine overs and grabbed one wicket, while Morne Morkel was belted for 49 from 8.2 overs.
Imran Tahir was the most successful bowler for South Africa. The spinner took three wickets for 36 runs from his 10 overs. Coming together after Sikandar Raza was sent back by Vernon Philander, Chibhabha and Masakadza, whose century helped Zimbabwe to a win over Sri Lanka in the warm-up fixture last week, added 105 for the second wicket to raise Zimbabweâs hopes.
Chibhabha, back after nearly two years in ODI exile and Masakakadza, playing his first World Cup in a 13-year career, were impressive.
A refreshing partnership began, but it could only extend to 105 and the ones that followed were cut short before they could pry the match from South Africaâs hands.
Brendan Taylor too pitched in with a run-a-ball 40, but the lower-middle order was unable to capitalise on the sturdy base. For Zimbabwe, there would be no repeat of 1999.
Zimbabwe lost it when their bowlers lost it in the final overs.
The result was a numbing mix of sixes off over-pitched balls, sixes off full tosses and sixes off short balls. The wresting of momentum appeared very stark as the fielders began giving up on chasing the ball once it cleared the infield.
And those were the lucky ones for Zimbabwe. Miller tonked one that soared over the square-leg boundary and may well had disrupted the traffic outside the ground.
Mire was the bowler and this was how that over, the 48th of the innings, went: 6 4 4 6 4 6 â thatâs more than South Africa made in the first 10 overs.
Zimbabwe bowled 23 overs for under six. Eight was the most they had given away until the 37th cost 10.
After that, there was a batch of fours between the 45th and 48th that bled 80.
While batting, they had been ahead of South Africaâs 262 at the end of the 46th over. The question of âwhat ifâ must be haunting them.

I had hoped my Costa Rica pre-match piece would be one where I would examine the permutations by which England could sneak into the last 16.
Foolishly, it hadn't even occurred to me that, by day eight, they would already be mathematically out of the competition.
Alas, there are no undeserving lifelines by which Roy Hodgson's men can cling to and instead all left to defend is the ignominy of being, on paper, the worst England team ever to grace a World Cup.
Yes, the margins are fine, and yes, there are a few *ifs* that may have affected the outcome in England's favour, but in a nutshell the best 23 players in the county came up short when it mattered most.
The promise of Manaus now seems an age ago and no sooner will the Costa Rica 'dead-rubber' be consigned to the record books than the recriminations will begin.
Already the team's stewardship has been called into question – and already Greg Dyke has nailed the FA's colours to the Hodgson mast – but the soul-searching and naval-gazing will soon start in earnest… again.
For what it's worth I get the feeling the strategy for Brazil 2014 was flawed from the word go.
It could have been used as a training exercise for the 2016 Euros – in which case the Shaws, Barkleys and Sterlings could have been given top billing – or, despite Dyke telling us we had no chance, we could have given it our best shot.
If the latter had been the case then why not, for example, take the country's best left-back, Ashley Cole, and play him.
I get the feeling Hodgson got caught between the two and achieved neither.
One issue over which the manager has no control, but which impacts on his players' ability to perform on the biggest stage, is that so few English players ply their trade abroad.
I can hear it now: 'What we have is best, so why do I need to go abroad?'
A mentality that is doing us no favours when it comes to producing quality international footballers.
The riches on offer in the Premier League obviously play a big part, but to experience different footballing and social cultures would, in the long-term, enhance the options available to the England manager.
But that's not going to happen.
Instead we have to find a way to do the impossible, which is to make playing for England the ultimate honour.
Right now the Premier League is King. The national team, with the exception of around three weeks every two years, comes a distant second. And we're all guilty of it.
Club before country every time, and until that changes we're unlikely to find ourselves in need of practising penalties.
As far as the Costa Rica game is concerned, I guess the purpose of the exercise is to avoid the proverbial 'nil points'.
It would be nice to see the youngsters let loose, but other than that we're in the realms of damage limitation.
And how depressing is that.

Global Farm Platform partners met last week (15-19 Sep 2014) in Perth at the University of Western Australia (UWA), for an exciting and dynamic workshop hosted by Winthrop Professor Graeme Martin of the UWA Institute of Agriculture. The workshop was held under the Worldwide Universities Network research development fund project Global Farm Platforms for Optimisation of Grazing Livestock Production Systems.
The group welcomed new partners from the Small Scale Livestock and Livelihoods Program (SSLLP), Malawi, Massey University in New Zealand and the University of Sydney, Australia. The network now spans the major ruminant production systems in all climatic zones across the world (except polar), and represents a wide range of socioeconomic and cultural environments. Delegates visited the historic and picturesque Crawley Campus close to the Swan River and held meeting sessions at the UWA-CSIRO Floreat Campus.
Individual seminars were presented on Monday 15th September by Dr Jennifer Dungait of Rothamsted Research on Soil carbon and sustainability, by Professor Mark Eisler of the University of Bristol on Steps to Sustainable Livestock and the Global Farm Platform, and by Professor Ellen Goddard of the University of Alberta on Food security and dietary diversity in three states in India – do home gardens really help?
Delegates were welcomed and the meeting opened by Winthrop Professor Robyn Owens, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) of UWA, who explained how the Worldwide Universities Network is able to create capacity that doesn't exist in individual Universities. By bringing together researchers from across its membership, WUN is able to address the global challenges of Responding to Climate Change, Global Health (non-communicable disease), Understanding Cultures, and Global Higher Education and Research. Professor Owens went on to describe resources and capabilities UWA could contribute, including the unique agricultural and ecosystem restoration research being conducted at UWA Ridgefield Future Farm.
During the workshop sessions, Sute Mwakasungula presented the work of the SSLLP with smallholder livestock producers and explained the importance of livestock in Malawi in providing food, income, manure, animal traction and social security. About 1.4 million farm families (85% smallholders) own one or more of various types of livestock, which provide an efficient way of transforming crop residues and reducing competition for food between humans and livestock.
Professor Michael D'Occhio and Dr Beverley Henry presented the work of the new 'Livestock in Landscapes' group at the Centre for Carbon, Water and Food of the University of Sydney Faculty of Agriculture and Environment. They explained how engineering and robotic science, including new and emerging sensing, imaging and monitoring technologies, might help achieve the transformation in production systems required to meet the increase in demand for animal protein, whilst not imposing excessive demands on natural resources. They introduced automated and remote animal recording systems that will have particular application in the management of production, health and wellbeing in extensive livestock systems.
Professor Nicolás López-Villalobos of the Massey University Institute of Veterinary, Animal & Biomedical Sciences discussed trends in the New Zealand dairy industry including a shift in breed composition from predominantly Holstein-Friesian cattle to an increasing proportion of Jersey and Jersey-cross animals, in part driven by milk pricing based on solids (i.e. protein and fat content) rather than volume. Another interesting emerging trend is that of once a day milking, which for many farmers, is a lifestyle choice, freeing valuable time otherwise spent in the milking parlour for leisure activities. Surprisingly, data obtained from Massey's Dairy Farm no. 1, which made the switch in 2013, showed that once a day milking results in a relative small reduction in yield, in many cases more than outweighed by the benefits of the reduced labour requirement. Finally, breeding strategies for dairy cattle were discussed in the context of selection for multiple traits rather than focussing entirely of milk yield. These approaches could be applied to development of genotypes suitable for subtropical climates such as northern Argentina.
Delegates spent a day visiting the UWA's Future Farm 2050 (Ridgefield Farm) at Pingelly, approximately 100km south east of Perth. The mission of the farm is to develop a profitable mixed-enterprise operation at the cutting edge of practical technology for cropping, animal, environmental footprint, and ecosystem and biodiversity management. The tour of the farm included demonstration of methodologies for measurement of greenhouse gas emissions from sheep under a variety of experimental grazing conditions including ryegrass/clover mixes, Biserulla and Serradella.
The visitors also inspected experimental paddocks planted with the anti-methanogenic shrub, Eremophila glabra, and enjoyed the rich biodiversity of indigenous flauna and flora, including examination of an ancient stand of the distinctive and slow growing grass tree (Xanthorrhoea) at close quarters.
The meeting culminated in the signing of a Statement of Intent by Winthrop Professor Kadambot Siddique, Director of the UWA Institute of Agriculture. This statement was finalised by the workshop participants, sets out the Vision, Mission and Plan for the Global Farm Platform and should assist in convincing major funders of the value of investing in research associated with this initiative. Each partner is now seeking similar, high level endorsement. We hope that at each member institution a prominent senior signatory will support the GFP in this way.

The key difference is probably Caliber's LinkedIn integration. The app starts by importing contacts from your LinkedIn account, rather than your phone, and it keeps them synced after that.
This means contact profiles have the same business-oriented flavour, with details on their skills and the companies where they've worked.
You can also try to connect with new professionals, as with LinkedIn, although here that's even less "instant". The system won't hassle you with real-time notifications of any requests, instead sending you weekly summaries, and automatically removing anything you ignore for two weeks in succession.
A straightforward messaging app, maybe handy for LinkedIn users who need a more business-oriented service without the usual distractions.
