R. F. (removed)
In 2009 Calum Macdonald recognized after spending many days down at the beach in Venice CA that there was a niche for a different more edgy surf wear and decided to combine the works of R. F.

Record Labels Finally Sue Allofmp3.com
from the took-'em-long-enough dept
It will be interesting to see how this lawsuit turns out -- as it was filed in New York, and Allofmp3 is a Russian company, meaning the laws in the US are pretty much meaningless to it. As the company has always stated, it is trying to comply with Russian laws (even if those laws keep changing), and that it has tried to pay royalties for the songs it sells, but the industry refuses to take their money. While there's a good chance that Allofmp3 will simply ignore the lawsuit, their argument would have to be that they believe they're in compliance with Russian laws -- and if an American buys a song from their site and downloads it, it's no different than if that same person came to Russia, bought something there legally, and brought it back with them to the US. That is, they did nothing wrong in buying the song, and if it was illegal to import it back into the US, that's between the individual and the US. Of course, the RIAA probably doesn't care what Allofmp3's defense is. They just want to cause trouble for the company by burdening it with lawsuits -- the same thing they've done to Napster, Grokster, Kazaa and others. However, while they may be able to burden each of those companies one by one, apparently the folks at the RIAA still haven't quite realized that every time they shut one of these down, something else pops up instead. In other words, it's a huge waste for them to keep doing this when there are plenty of opportunities for them to embrace providing music in a format and at a price people want.

At 80, Thimmakka Has Planted More than 8,000 Saplings
I was in Karnataka, travelling to the village of Kudur in Ramanagara district, about 35 kms from Bengeluru (formerly Bangalore). The dusty road leading to Hulikal and Kudur village seemed monotonous, but for a four kilometer stretch, it came alive with massive trees, spreading shade and providing home to innumerable birds and animals. This unique pattern of the line of trees attracted everyone's attention and appreciation. That's when accompanying officials told us about environmentalist Saalu Marada Thimmakka.
Thimmaka was married young to a landless laborer Chinnappa and they made their living tilling land and cutting stones. Despite a long wait and countless prayers and poojas, the couple did not have any children. The personal suffering coupled with snide remarks of the society that looked down at childless couples as a curse from gods that lead them to a unique engagement that is now widely recognized.

A winner was selected from 43 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
MS Essentials
We are a small company with a doctor who formulates all natural products. We are down to earth, laid-back and genuinely into helping people with their medical problems.
The market is for people who have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). They are mostly women between the ages of 35 and 65...but there will be many men in the group as well. People with MS have had bizarre symptoms for many years before they are diagnosed. At this point, they are looking for anything that can help with their symptoms...fatigue, pain, numbness, and tingling, blurred vision, loss of balance, depression, etc. Their doctors have basically told them to take drugs with no other alternatives. The drugs they take often make them feel very bad.
We are looking for something very professional and crisp looking. It needs to be slightly medical in feel but with a warmth to it...especially since it is an all natural product.
The medical part comes into play because it is created by a doctor and recommended by a doctor.
It should be "positive-feeling" in a "you can get better" type of way.
It needs to look "new" because this is the first product of this type to ever hit the market. New and fresh and positive and hopeful is KEY!!
The name of the product will be MS Essentials.
Please use PMS (spot) colors for the design.

J.J. Abrams doesn't seem to be clear on what he's doing with the new Trek movies.
After the 2009 "Star Trek" movie – which was both a remake and a reboot of sorts – it seemed like he was ready to venture into uncharted territory. But newly released "Trek 2: Into Darkness" turned out to be nothing more than an entertaining, beautifully jumbled mess that, once again, is part new and part reinvention that pays too much homage to the original series.
"Trek 2" tries to cover several different objectives to varying degrees of success. You know the phrase "greater than the sum of its parts"? Well, "Trek 2" was the opposite of that. There were a lot of great pieces, but they didn't quite come together, which honestly can be more frustrating, especially after thinking about what "Trek 2" could have been.
Early on, Abrams delves into character development, especially with hot-headed Captain Kirk, who still hasn't learned to follow the rulebook. Kirk makes rash decisions without considering consequences, which, of course, gets him in hot water. Mr. Spock takes his own journey on the path of enlightenment to learn when to act on emotion and not always be so cold, calculated and logical.
The opening sequence is the perfect example. It throws the audience right in the middle of an intense expedition as the Enterprise crew attempts to freeze an erupting volcano to protect a primitive people. The scenario renders Spock facing certain death as he makes the sacrificial play. Of course, Kirk isn't about to give up on his friend, even if that means breaking certain mandates (something Kirk does frequently). But Spock—a Vulcan who won't acknowledge emotions nor understands the dynamics of friendship—doesn't appreciate Kirk breaking the rules and undermining what he was attempting to do, even if it does mean his life was saved. And thus continues their conflicting styles.
Uhura and Dr. McCoy are among others who have their own personal issues that have become all-too-familiar. The problem with this is most of these ideas are rehashed. At times, Abrams tries to establish behavioral patterns, but other times he assumes the audience understands already or gives rather blatant nods of recognition to the original series as an ode to the fans, a terrible risk when dealing with an already well-established franchise like Star Trek.
About midway through the movie, a big reveal is made about the film's main villain, one that any Trekkie can predict and probably see coming a mile away. This moment changes the entire psychology of the movie, as all of a sudden, "Trek 2" became a full-on remake. There are even a couple cheesy moments directly referencing some of the original films' most memorable scenes or lines. It didn't have quite the staying power this time around.
¬Abrams certainly doesn't skimp on the visuals, which are stunning (that is, if you can focus on them, a task that isn't easy with the choppy editing and shaky camerawork). And he brings that fast-paced flare that packs in the action as dire situations continually arise.
But the crux of the main story is underdeveloped and completely forgettable as "Trek 2" became more about what it was trying to be and not about what it was. Too bad, because there was a lot of potential to lift this saga to new heights.

Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) revealed on Wednesday it swung to an in-line profit in its fiscal third-quarter thanks to heavy cost cutting, but the tech giant's revenue fell slightly more than projected as the PC slowdown continued.
Continue Reading Below
Previously red-hot shares of H-P initially retreated 3% in after-hours before paring its losses as traders mull the mixed results, reaffirmed outlook and a management change.
The tech company said it earned $1.4 billion, or 71 cents a share, last quarter, compared with a loss of $8.9 billion, or $4.49 a share, a year earlier.
Excluding one-time items, it earned 86 cents a share, matching the Street's view.
Sales fell 8% to $27.23 billion, narrowly missing consensus calls from analysts for $27.29 billion.
H-P's results show the impact of aggressive cost reductions through layoffs and other moves. The company said its total costs and expenses plunged 34% last quarter to $25.37 billion.
"I remain confident that we are making progress in our turnaround," H-P CEO Meg Whitman said in a statement. "We are already seeing significant improvement in our operations, we are successfully rebuilding our balance sheet, our cost structure is more closely aligned with our revenue and we have reignited innovation at HP, with a focus on the customer."
Looking ahead, H-P maintained its forecast for non-GAAP EPS of $3.53 to $3.57 in the full year. Only the high end of that range would meet the Street's view of $3.57.
"The quarter was relatively in line with what we expected, but it was not the beat and raise the Street hoped for," Jeff Fidacaro, an analyst at Monness, Crespi, Hardt & Co., told FOX Business.
H-P's results underscore the ongoing slowdown in the PC business. The company's personal systems revenue slumped 11% year-over-year, highlighted by a 22% tumble on the consumer side. Desktop units were off 9%, while notebook units dropped 14%.
Fidacaro said the "PC business is seeing a lot of pricing pressure."
Printing sales slid 4% year-over-year, while H-P's enterprise group suffered a 9% decline in revenue. Enterprise services sales fell 9%.
H-P said it generated $2.7 billion in cash flow from operations last quarter, off 6% from the year before. The company continues to work on its balance sheet, lowering its net debt position by $1.7 billion, its sixth-straight quarterly cut of at least $1 billion.
Meanwhile, H-P announced a leadership change, replacing Enterprise Group chief David Donatelli with Chief Operating Officer Bill Veghte. This role will now include responsibility for overseeing the development of H-P's portfolio of cloud solutions.
Donatelli has been assigned a new role focused on identifying early-stage technologies, the company said.
H-P also announced plans to combine its marketing and communications organizations under the supervision of Henry Gomez, the company's chief communications officer.
Palo Alto-based H-P saw its stock slide 1.22% to $25.07 in extended trading on Wednesday following the earnings report.
Since reporting promising results on May 22, H-P has soared around 21%, easily besting a flat performance by the S&P 500 over that span.
For the year, H-P has surged about 79%, compared with just 15% for the S&P 500.

Tigers ride Verlander's arm to sweep of Royals
KANSAS CITY -- Billy Butler got Justin Verlander again. The way the Tigers' weekend visit unfolded, Butler's sixth-inning single was the one victory the Royals could claim for the series.
It broke up Verlander's bid at a third career no-hitter. By that point, he would have needed to give up a whole lot more for the Royals to break up a three-game sweep.View Full Game Coverage
KANSAS CITY -- Billy Butler got Justin Verlander again. The way the Tigers' weekend visit unfolded, Butler's sixth-inning single was the one victory the Royals could claim for the series.
It broke up Verlander's bid at a third career no-hitter. By that point, he would have needed to give up a whole lot more for the Royals to break up a three-game sweep.View Full Game Coverage
"This is the way that we're expected to play baseball," Verlander said after his seven innings of three-run ball helped the Tigers cruise to a 9-4 win on Sunday at Kauffman Stadium. "We can do a lot of little things. We can also bang. And I think the fundamental of this team is starting pitching, as it should be with every team.
"You keep guys off the board and allow the offense to go out and score runs, and that's how you win a lot of ballgames."
It's easy to preach, but hard to do for an extended stretch, even against struggling teams. It's what the Tigers did all week, save for two off-days.
They outscored the Royals by a 26-8 margin, and didn't trail for the final 25 innings of the series. Detroit went 6-1 over their three-city road trip, and the only loss came after a blister forced out Anibal Sanchez in the third inning last Saturday at Minnesota.
The Tigers' 17-9 record marks their best start to a season since 2006. Five of those wins have come in as many games against Kansas City, which entered the season as a potential challenger to Detroit's run of three straight American League Central titles.
"Detroit came in here red-hot," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "The last three games, as a group, there wasn't one hole in their lineup you could count on getting an out from. They were all swinging the bats extremely well."
It's early, but the Tigers are starting to build a gap, now 4 1/2 games ahead of the second-place White Sox. They're the only team in the AL Central with a winning record, and they own the longest winning streak in the league.
"It could just be a case where they caught us hot," manager Brad Ausmus said. "It's just five games into the season series with the Royals. They've got a very good team, so I'm not chalking it up to anything other than we swung the bats well and got some good starting pitching this weekend."
In other words, as Verlander said, they did the exact things the team was designed to do.
"We just flat-out got beat in every aspect of the game," Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said. "It's early and we've got to rebound."
By taking the first two games of the series behind seven-inning performances from back-end starters Rick Porcello and Drew Smyly, Detroit handed the ball to Verlander with a chance to finish off the sweep against a reeling Royals offense. He nearly added an exclamation point.
Butler entered Sunday 31-for-71 lifetime against Verlander, including 17-for-32 since 2012. Salvador Perez, meanwhile, was 11-for-24 against Verlander since breaking into the league a few years ago. They loomed in the middle of the order in a lineup without a whole lot of individual success otherwise against Verlander.
Through six innings, however, the only Royals hitter having his way with Verlander was leadoff man Nori Aoki, who drew walks in each of his first three plate appearances, much to Verlander's frustration. The only other baserunner in that stretch was Alex Gordon, who walked in the fourth as Verlander cursed himself over his full-count pitch after striking out Butler on a nasty slider.
"I was pretty upset about those at-bats," Verlander said.
The right-hander's first couple turns against Butler and Perez, by contrast, were Verlander near his best. Butler and Perez both flied out to deep center field their first times up, and Butler had a 3-0 count on Verlander in the fourth before taking a fastball over the plate for strike one.
Verlander ran the count full by spotting a slider on the outside corner, then buried one as Butler swung over it.
"When he got in a hitter's count, he wasn't just throwing it in there and saying, 'Hey, hit it,'" Butler said. "He was still pitching, throwing offspeed stuff in hitter's count."
Once Perez grounded meekly to first base to end the fourth, the no-hit bid was on. The normally supportive Tigers dugout began leaving Verlander, saving for a pat on the back from pitching coach Jeff Jones.
"It always enters your mind early on," Verlander said, "but then again, at the same time, you know there's a long way to go."
Verlander has been through a few of those before. So, too, has Alex Avila. Asked if he was aware of it, Avila smiled.
"If I had a dime every time somebody asked me that when we had a no-hitter in the fifth," the catcher said, shaking his head. "When it gets to the fifth or the sixth, you know what's going on."
Aoki's leadoff walk in the sixth meant Verlander either needed a double play or had to face Butler with a runner on in the sixth. He struck out ex-teammate Omar Infante and got an Eric Hosmer line drive that hung up long enough for Rajai Davis to run down, setting up a showdown with Butler.
Unlike the fourth, Verlander had the setup he wanted, using back-to-back sliders and a curveball to put Butler in a 1-2 count and slow down his bat for a fastball. Verlander had the velocity he wanted at 96 mph, but not the location, leaving it over the plate.
"I just missed," Verlander said. "I didn't throw a good pitch."
Butler turned and lined it into right.
"There's no secrets," Butler said. "I just go up there and look for a good pitch to hit and I've had some good results off him. That could change."
Or as Avila put it, "Billy's a good hitter. Holding him to one hit, knowing the success he's had off of Justin, fine with that."
Verlander (4-1) retired Gordon to maintain the shutout bid, but Perez's leadoff double in the seventh set up a three-run rally punctuated by Jarrod Dyson's two-run triple.
Nick Castellanos and Avila homered to lead an 11-hit attack over five innings against Royals starter Jason Vargas, who had flummoxed Tigers hitters for seven innings of one-run ball on April 2 at Comerica Park.

Thanks akuban. This is the exact moment at Best when I realized that the cheese had melted to the roof of my mouth. -- Priceless. Iirc.
I believefranks ovens are the 120 48" stefano He does like 3 16" in there Frank modified the opening to get the 16" in there.T he Smaller Bambinos are 12"-14" can i would say 3-4 easy !John
I'd be curious to know for sure. Standing in front of them, they seemed smaller than mine which is 120.CL
What's Up Fellas! My ovens are 120 cm. I can fit 4 12-13" pizzas or 3 16" inch large pies. Although, the most I ever bake in the oven at one time is two pies, individual or large. Yes the mouth is custom for my 16" pie.
see I do pay attention frank ! and I will answer again for 10 points. only know because frank has told me the face plate comes off and was modified by local crafstman. Think story was Stefano was slack in responding to his request, and frank figured it out rather than wait. Sure frank will chime in again after dinner rush. Nice to know you are lurking out there see you soon ,I need my Vesta fix .John
Oh, come on, Paulie, apples and oranges? These are both classic NY style pizzas. I wouldn't ask you to compare Pizzatown to Keste, but Pizzatown and New Park are birds of the same feather.Let's try this hypothetical. You haven't eaten at p-town or new park in 6 months and are in the mood for a NY slice. Both are next door to each other. Where you do you get the slice from?Are you serious about that hat? They're just bringing it in to show it to you, right? You're already a legend, Paulie, but I think if you could score that hat, you'd become immortal
If we can all answer the above question I wold have to go with New Park (not too well done) and scrape the salt off! wait- that sounds like too much work ! You know from My posts, Pizza Town Is one of my absolute Favorites but its almost beyond NY if that makes sense? Chau? and I though Larry had the girls loosened up ? A light up hat No way Paulie Gee!John

Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) found a trigger that is used by the hepatitis C virus (HCV) to enter liver cells. They discovered that in the early stages of HCV infection, the virus binds to receptors on the surface of liver cells and activates PI3K and AKT, proteins that control cell growth and metabolism, and which allow HCV to enter the cells. According to James Ou, professor of molecular microbiology and immunology at USC's Keck School of Medicine, when the two protein factors are activated, they initiate a group of reactions that alter the physiology of infected cells. Later, by continuing to disturb this pathway, HCV may sensitize the liver cells to become cancerous.
Ou has been studying HCV for 20 years and the hepatitis B virus for 30 years. He explained that the next step is to understand how activation of the PI3K-AKT pathway allows HCV to enter the cell. Ou also noted that the research has led to the identification of a novel target for developing new drugs to treat HCV in the form of compounds that disrupt the PI3K-AKT pathway. These anti-hepatitis drugs would be expected to prevent the virus from entering, and thus, cause the virus to disappear.
The study, "Transient Activation of the PI3K-AKT Pathway by Hepatitis C Virus to Enhance Viral Entry," was published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry (2012;287(50): 4192241930).

Intermec, which has made a name for itself over four decades as a provider of rugged mobile devices mainly for service delivery and warehouse use, is moving quickly into mobile management software and services.
Today, Intermec announced Skynax 8, software for integrating management of mobile data exchange, application and device management and support, and security .
The software is designed to unify various tools under one system for customers in field service, transportation and logistics, public safety and other industries, Intermec officials said in a telephone briefing.
Garrick Fiala, Intermec's manager of software engineering, said the software is distinct among mobile management products because it provides management of network connectivity and data over wireless links.
For example, software on a client device, such as a rugged computer in a truck, will switch a connection from Wi-Fi to a 3G network to save costs and maximize throughput, he said.
The software also enables network resilience, he said. In one example, a customer running a dairy operation with 6,500 truck drivers and other users was able to restore network connections 15 minutes after the dairy's data center went down.
The average price for Skynax 8 will range from $60 to $85 for each mobile device -- a price that includes licenses for client devices and servers, Fiala said. Intermec will also host the software for customers. The software is fully open and supports Intermec and devices from other manufacturers, he added.
Skynax 8 is the first full software version sold by Intermec, after the company acquired Skynax and two other software companies in 2010 as part of an evolution of the traditional hardware maker into one that offers software and services as well, said Larry Klimczyk, vice president of Intermec Global Solutions.
Eric Klein, an analyst at VDC Research, said Skynax's biggest advantage will be the ability to incorporate a diverse range of mobile applications, making it flexible enough to use with custom applications built by companies and developers.
Adding Skynax and other software to Intermec's offerings "has been a good strategy," Klein said, noting that it is the strategy used by Intermec's biggest competitor, Motorola Solutions. Intermec and Motorola Solutions are the best known for rugged devices and software, while companies such as Good, Airwatch and MobileIron appear most focused on management of consumer-grade smartphones and tablets used in businesses.
Klein said he expects that Intermec will eventually sell Skynax software through wireless carriers.

It was used on my grandfather's brothers farm and was most likely the bell that rang when my great grandmothers house burnt in the early 1900's. I really don't need it since I already have grandpa's almost identical bell, but I wasn't going to see it sell cheap. Grandpa had 12 siblings but I think only the one with another bell, I hope!

Watching television can be a great way to kick back and relax. But if you're a cable TV customer and overpaying for services, that relaxation can quickly turn to stress once you receive a high monthly bill. You do, however, have the power to reduce or even eliminate your bill. Here are some ways to make that happen:
Review your bill. With electronic billing and payments, many people today don't take the time to open and read their bills. It's important to read the bill and become familiar with the charges. Look for hidden fees as well as fees for services for which you did not subscribe.
As kids prepare to return to class, it's the parents who are gearing up for the shopping assignment.
Back-to-school shopping is one of the most significant shopping events all year, second only to the winter holiday season, according to the National Retail Federation.* Last year, total back-to-school spending was estimated to top $75 billion nationwide.
During the weeks leading up to the first day of school, parents generally spend hundreds of dollars per child* on clothing, accessories, school supplies, electronics and more. It's no wonder that the winding down of summer can be a stressful time for many families.
That's why we've compiled a list of three easy tips to help you ace the school shopping assignment with confidence and perhaps a little less stress.

Included in:
A discounted pack featuring multiple tracks in this style.
Description:An epic orchestral track which starts off with anklung (bamboo) and string ostinatos, which gradually build and crescendo (with more elements entering) to a climax. This is but a prelude for the huge epic and dominating brass chords that bring the piece to a close, these powerful smashes are combined with hard staccato strings to keep the momentum going that was built up previously in the track.
The track is clearly split into 3 sections which have been provided as individual tracks along with the full track for your convenience. Each of these parts is perfectly edited in such a way that they could be used as separate tracks.
Full track- 2:06
Section A – 0:28 – Anklung and string ostinatos provide an introduction to the piece with soaring strings bringing this section to a definite and obvious close.
Section B – 1:03 – an extension of section A, with a much longer buildup, with multiple elements entering the fray to gradually build to a climax. The end of this section represents the highest point of tension in the piece, with the release set to come in Section C.
Section C – 0:41- Huge epic brass chords dominate the landscape and (should) send shockwaves through your speakers!
WAV and MP3 files provided for the full track and for each section.

South Dakota Men Beat IUPUI, Run Summit League Win Streak to 2
Last season, en route to a 5-12 finish in Summit League play, the South Dakota men's basketball team won consecutive conference games only one time. In 2014, the Coyotes have started league play with back-to-back wins after knocking off IUPUI Thursday night 69-57.
USD had the hot hand early, shooting 61% from the floor over the first 12:30, hitting 4 3-pointers, and pulling down 11 rebounds, to open up a 29-21 lead, with six players contributing points.
The Jags bounced back with a 10-3 run moments later when PJ Hubert and Marcellus Barksdale hit back-to-back threes while USD went cold from the floor, making just one of their next eight, and the lead, that had been eight, was now just 1.
IUPUI got 11 first half point from Donovan Gibbs off the bench to give them a 33-32 lead at halftime.
In the second half, another strong USD start, a 6-1 run to open, as Trevor Gruis and Brandon Bos each contributed baskets.
Over the final 5:00, USD went to work inside with four straight baskets in the paint, including a dunk and put back by Tyler Flack. In all, the Coyotes scored 14 of the game's last 17 points.
After that, the Coyotes sealed the victory from the free throw line, hitting six in the final minute to get the 12-point win.
Bos finished with 21 points, Gruis with 18, as USD finished with 7 3-pointers and shot 88% from the free throw line.
The Coyotes (7-9/2-0) host Fort Wayne Saturday at 4:00pm.

Vodafone sees 200 million mobile punters soon
KPIs show network is performing
Vodafone has published its key performance indicators for the last year, and things are looking good for the world's second largest mobile phone operator.
Subscriber numbers should hit 200 million by the end of January, still lagging behind the 300 million connected by China Telecom but they only operate in one market while Vodafone's customers are all over the globe.
Some 13.6 million of those customers are now using 3G handsets, which is nice, and is one of the factors driving data revenue up 32.2 per cent over the last year. Increased data services to business also contributed to that increase, but it's good to see data revenue rising when income from voice calls is less reliable.
Voice usage is up 17 per cent, though in the UK a lot of that is attributed to the popularity of a deal offering free weekend calls if enough money is spent during the week. About 1.7 million pre-paid customers have taken up the offer, accounting for part of the 22.1 per cent increase in outgoing calls.
Nothing terribly exciting, as Chief Executive Arun Sari commented:
"These KPIs are very much in line with expectations and show that we are continuing to make progress in executing our strategy." ®

Open System Interconnection Routing Protocol
From DocWiki
m (1 revision)
Revision as of 04:10, 5 June 2009
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) developed a complete suite of routing protocols for use in the Open System Interconnection (OSI) protocol suite. These include Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS), End System-to-Intermediate System (ES-IS), and Interdomain Routing Protocol (IDRP). This chapter addresses the basic operations of each of these protocols.
IS-IS is based on work originally done at Digital Equipment Corporation (Digital) for DECnet/OSI (DECnet Phase V). IS-IS originally was developed to route in ISO Connectionless Network Protocol (CLNP) networks. A version has since been created that supports both CLNP and Internet Protocol (IP) networks; this version usually is referred to as Integrated IS-IS (it also has been called Dual IS-IS).
OSI routing protocols are summarized in several ISO documents, including ISO 10589, which defines IS-IS. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) X3S3.3 (network and transport layers) committee was the motivating force behind ISO standardization of IS-IS. Other ISO documents include ISO 9542 (which defines ES-IS) and ISO 10747 (which defines IDRP).
OSI Networking Terminology
The world of OSI networking uses some specific terminology, such as end system (ES), which refers to any nonrouting network nodes, and intermediate system (IS), which refers to a router. These terms form the basis for the ES-IS and IS-IS OSI protocols. The ES-IS protocol enables ESs and ISs to discover each other. The IS-IS protocol provides routing between ISs.
Other important OSI networking terms include area, domain, Level 1 routing, and Level 2 routing. An area is a group of contiguous networks and attached hosts that is specified to be an area by a network administrator or manager. A domain is a collection of connected areas. Routing domains provide full connectivity to all end systems within them. Level 1 routing is routing within a Level 1 area, while Level 2 routing is routing between Level 1 areas.
Figure: Areas Exist Within a Larger Domain and Use Level 2 Routing to Communicate illustrates the relationship between areas and domains, and depicts the levels of routing between the two.
Figure: Areas Exist Within a Larger Domain and Use Level 2 Routing to Communicate
End System-to-Intermediate System
End System-to-Intermediate System (ES-IS) is an OSI protocol that defines how end systems (hosts) and intermediate systems (routers) learn about each other, a process known as configuration. Configuration must happen before routing between ESs can occur.
ES-IS is more of a discovery protocol than a routing protocol. It distinguishes among three different types of subnetworks: point-to-point subnetworks, broadcast subnetworks, and general topology subnetworks. Point-to-point subnetworks, such as WAN serial links, provide a point-to-point link between two systems. Broadcast subnetworks, such as Ethernet and IEEE 802.3, direct a single physical message to all nodes on the subnetwork. General topology subnetworks, such as X.25, support an arbitrary number of systems. Unlike broadcast subnetworks, however, the cost of an n-way transmission scales directly with the subnetwork size on a general topology subnetwork.
Figure: ES-IS Can Be Deployed in Point-to-Point, Broadcast, and General Topology Subnetworks illustrates the three types of ES-IS subnetworks.
Figure: ES-IS Can Be Deployed in Point-to-Point, Broadcast, and General Topology Subnetworks
ES-IS Configuration
ES-IS configuration is the process whereby ESs and ISs discover each other so that routing between ESs can occur. ES-IS configuration information is transmitted at regular intervals through two types of messages: ES hello messages (ESHs) and IS hello messages (ISHs). ESHs are generated by ESs and are sent to every IS on the subnetwork. ISHs are generated by ISs and are sent to all ESs on the subnetwork. These hello messages primarily are intended to convey the subnetwork and network layer addresses of the systems that generate them. Where possible, ES-IS attempts to send configuration information simultaneously to many systems. On broadcast subnetworks, ES-IS hello messages are sent to all ISs through a special multicast address that designates all end systems. When operating on a general topology subnetwork, ES-IS generally does not transmit configuration information because of the high cost of multicast transmissions.
ES-IS Addressing Information
The ES-IS configuration protocol conveys both OSI network layer addresses and OSI subnetwork addresses. OSI network layer addresses identify either the network service access point (NSAP), which is the interface between OSI Layer 3 and Layer 4, or the network entity title (NET), which is the network layer entity in an OSI IS. OSI subnetwork addresses, or subnetwork point-of-attachment addresses (SNPAs) are the points at which an ES or IS is physically attached to a subnetwork. The SNPA address uniquely identifies each system attached to the subnetwork. In an Ethernet network, for example, the SNPA is the 48-bit Media Access Control (MAC) address. Part of the configuration information transmitted by ES-IS is the NSAP-to-SNPA or NET-to-SNPA mapping.
Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System
Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) is an OSI link-state hierarchical routing protocol that floods the network with link-state information to build a complete, consistent picture of network topology. To simplify router design and operation, IS-IS distinguishes between Level 1 and Level 2 ISs. Level 1 ISs communicate with other Level 1 ISs in the same area. Level 2 ISs route between Level 1 areas and form an intradomain routing backbone. Hierarchical routing simplifies backbone design because Level 1 ISs need to know only how to get to the nearest Level 2 IS. The backbone routing protocol also can change without impacting the intra-area routing protocol.
OSI Routing Operation
Each ES lives in a particular area. OSI routing begins when the ESs discover the nearest IS by listening to ISH packets. When an ES wants to send a packet to another ES, it sends the packet to one of the ISs on its directly attached network. The router then looks up the destination address and forwards the packet along the best route. If the destination ES is on the same subnetwork, the local IS will know this from listening to ESHs and will forward the packet appropriately. The IS also might provide a redirect (RD) message back to the source to tell it that a more direct route is available. If the destination address is an ES on another subnetwork in the same area, the IS will know the correct route and will forward the packet appropriately. If the destination address is an ES in another area, the Level 1 IS sends the packet to the nearest Level 2 IS. Forwarding through Level 2 ISs continues until the packet reaches a Level 2 IS in the destination area. Within the destination area, ISs forward the packet along the best path until the destination ES is reached.
Link-state update messages help ISs learn about the network topology. First, each IS generates an update specifying the ESs and ISs to which it is connected, as well as the associated metrics. The update then is sent to all neighboring ISs, which forward (flood) it to their neighbors, and so on. (Sequence numbers terminate the flood and distinguish old updates from new ones.) Using these updates, each IS can build a complete topology of the network. When the topology changes, new updates are sent.
IS-IS Metrics
IS-IS uses a single required default metric with a maximum path value of 1024. The metric is arbitrary and typically is assigned by a network administrator. Any single link can have a maximum value of 64, and path links are calculated by summing link values. Maximum metric values were set at these levels to provide the granularity to support various link types while at the same time ensuring that the shortest-path algorithm used for route computation will be reasonably efficient. IS-IS also defines three optional metrics (costs): delay, expense, and error. The delay cost metric reflects the amount of delay on the link. The expense cost metric reflects the communications cost associated with using the link. The error cost metric reflects the error rate of the link. IS-IS maintains a mapping of these four metrics to the quality of service (QoS) option in the CLNP packet header. IS-IS uses these mappings to compute routes through the internetwork.
IS-IS Packet Formats
IS-IS uses three basic packet formats: IS-IS hello packets, link-state packets (LSPs), and sequence-number packets (SNPs). Each of the three IS-IS packets has a complex format with the following three different logical parts. The first part consists of an 8-byte fixed header shared by all three packet types. The second part is a packet type-specific portion with a fixed format. The third part is also packet type-specific but of variable length.
Figure: IS-IS Packets Consist of Three Logical Headers illustrates the logical format of IS-IS packets.
Figure: IS-IS Packets Consist of Three Logical Headers
Figure: IS-IS Packets Consist of Eight Fields shows the common header fields of the IS-IS packets.
Figure: IS-IS Packets Consist of Eight Fields
The following descriptions summarize the fields illustrated in Figure 45-4:
- Protocol identifier - Identifies the IS-IS protocol and contains the constant 131.
- Header length - Contains the fixed header length. The length always is equal to 8 bytes but is included so that IS-IS packets do not differ significantly from CLNP packets.
- Version - Contains a value of 1 in the current IS-IS specification.
- ID length - Specifies the size of the ID portion of an NSAP address. If the field contains a value between 1 and 8 inclusive, the ID portion of an NSAP address is that number of bytes. If the field contains a value of zero, the ID portion of an NSAP address is 6 bytes. If the field contains a value of 255 (all ones), the ID portion of an NSAP address is zero bytes.
- Packet type - Specifies the type of IS-IS packet (hello, LSP, or SNP).
- Version - Repeats after the Packet Type field.
- Reserved - Is ignored by the receiver and is equal to 0.
- Maximum area addresses - Specifies the number of addresses permitted in this area.
Following the common header, each packet type has a different additional fixed portion, followed by a variable portion.
Integrated IS-IS
Integrated IS-IS is a version of the OSI IS-IS routing protocol that uses a single routing algorithm to support more network layer protocols than just CLNP. Integrated IS-IS sometimes is called Dual IS-IS, named after a version designed for IP and CLNP networks. Several fields are added to IS-IS packets to allow IS-IS to support additional network layers. These fields inform routers about the reachability of network addresses from other protocol suites and other information required by a specific protocol suite. Integrated IS-IS implementations send only one set of routing updates, which is more efficient than two separate implementations.
Integrated IS-IS represents one of two ways of supporting multiple network layer protocols in a router; the other is the ships-in-the-night approach. Ships-in-the-night routing advocates the use of a completely separate and distinct routing protocol for each network protocol so that the multiple routing protocols essentially exist independently. The different types of routing information basically pass like ships in the night. Integrated routing has the capability to route multiple network layer protocols through tables calculated by a single routing protocol, thus saving some router resources. Integrated IS-IS uses this approach.
Interdomain Routing Protocol
The Interdomain Routing Protocol (IDRP) is an OSI protocol that specifies how routers communicate with routers in different domains. IDRP is designed to operate seamlessly with CLNP, ES-IS, and IS-IS. IDRP is based on the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), an interdomain routing protocol that originated in the IP community. IDRP features include the following:
- Support for CLNP quality of service (QoS)
- Loop suppression by keeping track of all RDs traversed by a route
- Reduction of route information and processing by using confederations, the compression of RD path information, and other means
- Reliability by using a built-in reliable transport
- Security by using cryptographic signatures on a per-packet basis
- Route servers
IDRP Terminology
IDRP introduces several environment-specific terms. These include border intermediate system (BIS), routing domain (RD), routing domain identifier (RDI), routing information base (RIB), and confederation.
A BIS is an IS that participates in interdomain routing and, as such, uses IDRP. An RD is a group of ESs and ISs that operate under the same set of administrative rules and that share a common routing plan. An RDI is a unique RD identifier. An RIB is a routing database used by IDRP that is built by each BIS from information received from within the RD and from other BISs. A RIB contains the set of routes chosen for use by a particular BIS. A confederation is a group of RDs that appears to RDs outside the confederation as a single RD. The confederation's topology is not visible to RDs outside the confederation. Confederations must be nested within one another and help reduce network traffic by acting as internetwork firewalls.
Figure: Domains Communicate via Border Intermediate Systems (BISs) illustrates the relationship between IDRP entities.
Figure: Domains Communicate via Border Intermediate Systems (BISs)
IDRP Routing
An IDRP route is a sequence of RDIs, some of which can be confederations. Each BIS is configured to know the RD and the confederations to which it belongs. It learns about other BISs, RDs, and confederations through information exchanges with each neighbor. As with distance-vector routing, routes to a particular destination accumulate outward from the destination. Only routes that satisfy a BIS's local policies and that have been selected for use will be passed on to other BISs. Route recalculation is partial and occurs when one of three events occurs: an incremental routing update with new routes is received, a BIS neighbor goes down, or a BIS neighbor comes up.
Review Questions
Q - What two types of messages are sent between systems in a ES-IS?
A - Between ES and IS systems, IS hellos and ES hellos are sent at regular intervals to maintain the connections and to exchange subnetwork and network layer addresses.
Q - What link-state hierarchical routing protocol floods the network with link-state information when performing updates?
A - Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) is an OSI link-state hierarchical routing protocol that floods the network with link-state information to build a complete, consistent picture of network topology. To simplify router design and operation, IS-IS distinguishes between Level 1 and Level 2 ISs. Level 1 ISs communicate with other Level 1 ISs in the same area. Level 2 ISs route between Level 1 areas and form an intradomain routing backbone.
Q - How is the IS-IS metric figured on each link?
A - IS-IS uses a single required default metric with a maximum path value of 1024. The metric is arbitrary and typically is assigned by a network administrator. Any single link can have a maximum value of 64, and path links are calculated by summing link values.

More seriously, competition is not won by discounting the winners' achievements, too many times I've been hearing the argument of "rote learning" versus "holistic education". It's as if the #17 (or #15) of the Olympic 100m sprint questions the purpose of running a short distance in a short time, then goes on saying that the winners most certainly suffer from sore feet as a result of their achievement. If there's any meaning to this chart then certain nations now ranking in the double digits ought to be in the Top 5 or Top 10, and that should be a national policy. Caveat: I didn't look up the criteria for the ranking. I would always include access to education and cost of education, but for a more specific view one might have a separate chart comparing only the elite top 10% of academic achievers, which would allow nations with high percentages of immigrants to fare better. I'm also disappointed but not surprised by the low ranking of my Old World birth country...

We're done. Bring on the warmth. The Vernal Equinox is only 32 days away and I know I'm not alone when I say, "Come on spring."
The Old Farmer's Almanac says we'll get a couple of dustings in March, but by then it will be warm enough not to bother us. Time marches on.
The hours in the day seem to whiz by even faster as the sun rises in the sky. Have you ever thought of what it would be like if we didn't have hours in the day? There was a time when folks counted only days, not hours and minutes.

I have Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, but I've only played a little of it. I hear electric noise in the background when I use my ear plugs. I've been waiting for months for a replacement battery, as I've determined that it's likely the issue (because pressure on the back of the GBA changes the noise).

Schach is MAI WAIFU
I liked Rekka no Ken better than Seima no Kouseki (Sacred Stones,) mainly because you had to do a lot more planning on the fly. In Sacred Stones you could just go to a map and level-up, but RnK you had to actively figure out who you wanted to develop and deploy them accordingly, keeping in mind your equipment and finances the whole time.

FE8 did nothing more than copy FEG except making it more broken in the process and made the game a complete joke in difficulty. It was too short as well, obviously a filler game made to compensate for FE9's delay.
FE9 added shoving which was just badly implemented to say the least and the skill system was nothing more than nerfed revamp of FE5's system. FE9 on a whole just felt rushed, graphically, gameplay wise and storywise. Money may as well have not existed since you got such a ridiculous ammount and 'custom' weapons were useless. I'm also annoyed in general they felt the need to remove an entire mode of FE9 from the localization, the one I played the most. Oh yes and FE9 has the worst replayability of any of the FE's to date.
Thracia 776 still easily holds the title as the best FE game as far I'm concerned. It got everything right, well difficulty was a little extreme but there was an easy mode as optional. FE's 'innovation' died once Shouzo Kaga left IS after Thracia 776. If you an actual good example of how FE should be done go play Berwick Saga.
SRT has been innovating leaps and bounds more than FE in graphics and gameplay with the last few games. OGs alone looks to be a massive testament to that.
Yggdra Union brought a hell lot more 'new' to S-RPG's in general with its style of gameplay and the story was alot more intense.
FE is a good game in its own right but to hail it as the king of S-RPG's and completely disregard SRT or the others is like saying FF is the greatest RPG series ever.

Fire emblem ranks #1 on my strategy RPG list. I've played all of the fire emblem series and FE9 is my favourite. The only downfalls i saw are no heroes (darn.) and swordmasters have been greatly downgraded (not really a downfall.. it makes the game harder and = more fun). I dunno.. that's just my opinion. Or was my favourite FE7? eh nvm..

With Yggdra you actually have to think, both in combat and on the field. With FE... you send your strong units in and let them kill everything. If you do that in YU, that character will die so very quickly. Yggdra innovated, and surely wasn't lacking. In fact, it may have even had too much! Yggdra is easily the best SRPG on the GBA.
SRT is leaps and bounds above FE. It innovates graphically with enhanced animations(unlike FE which reuses every animation, SRT does new animations every game), sound, story, etc., and new game mechanics. Chain attacks, support, massive weapon selection, customizability, all go to show that SRT is superior. In fact, I can't think of a single way that FE can beat out SRT.
Compared to other games, FE just gets worse as it goes along. It doesn't introduce much new(in fact, in FE9, they took out almost all the stuff that was introduced in FE8, good and bad), and they reuse too much stuff. In the end, FE is pretty awful when compared to better games like Yggdra Union or SRT(although by no means is FE bad).

Hmm, why is everyone restricting their discussion on the GBA FE games? I prefer the fc and sfc games, especially the sfc generation. Those were the days That being said, I still like the sword of fire.
So what if Shouzo Kaga is gone? We still have TRS and BWS don't we
I have no idea about the Yggdra union. But about SRT, I have to say I don't really like robots. I think the only robot related turn based strategy game that really caught my eye was front mission 1.

FE5 was the greatest game ever and FE6 was probably the last of the FE games with any resemblence of real balance. It does annoy me that just about every FE as of late tries to implement ideas from FE5 but somehow manages to have less than it.

I still prefer the good old FE4. Sure it was not perfect, but I couldn't help but love the first half of the story. (Maybe Thracia 776 fits better as the second half? ) And the marriage system is good stuff, I was obsessed with the holy blood lines at that time. n_n

FE4 wasn't by no means great but it had some really nice ideas in it and the story was amazingly developed and pretty dark to boot.
FE5 just made it better by filling in the 7 year gap between 1st gen and 2nd gen. Alvis just had one of the coolest backstories ever, though you only found out some of it in Thracia 776 and the rest was in the special articles in the FE4 Treasure.

Fire Emblem 3: Was the longest and although graphically challenged had a lot of secrets and an interesting system involving the gems set within the Fire Emblem granting special abilities to the characters.
Fire Emblem 4: was my favourite with its emphasis on army to army combat and outdoor maps. Plus I love the story and characters so much I've played it 5 times over, more than any other strategy game in history.
Fire Emblem 5: Hard as hell, but satisfying when its over with. Anyone who has played this knows the name Cyras and the terror his mere presence on the battlefield spells for your army.
Fire Emblem 6: I felt this was a step back in some cases and boy does Roy suck as a leader. Still the length and the fact it was the only SRPG on the GBA for a good long while made up for its shortcomings somewhat.
Fire Emblem 7: 2nd favourite in the series with the 3 lead characters that strike a balance between Speed (Lyndis) Power (Hector) and Defene (Eliwood) and an excellent storyline and some of the best music on the GBA. I sometimes listen to The Legend of Atos theme when I'm bored or upset and need something to lighten the mood. Knowing how to use your main characters is key in this game.
Fire Emblem 8: A huge letdown with its short length and laughable difficulty. I'm pretty sure I could have steamrolled the whole game with just Ephraim at one point and the last boss went down so quick I thought it was only a prelude to a second form like Ashnard.
Fire Emblem 9: Still not done it yet but its been very fun, introducing some new systems like the Custom weapons system and Bonus Experience among others and bringing back the long lost skill system that made 4 and 5 so much fun. Though it could be a little more difficult as the Laguz Lethe and Mordy are somewhat broken.
Fire Emblem 2/Gaiden: Man this one is easy with its ability to let you power level anywhere. It barely feels like a Fire Emblem game to be honest. I guess that's why they call it Gaiden.

I love the serie even if i didn't play the old ones!
In Fire Emblem (the 1st one that came in America), i had to play the entire game twice since in my first attempt (first time i played a Fire Emblem), my chars were way too weak to beat the last Chapter (just the bosses before Nergal were crushing me), so i started over and max lvled all my Lords and almost all my chars, and this time I totally crushed Nergal and his pals .... Lvl 20/20 chars are just too powerful haha!
After that i tried the sequel (the one with Roy from Smash Bros. Melee, the son of Eliwood) and i did the same thing, but i think this one wasn't as good as the first one (anyway it came out before the prequel as i know, so a lot of functions/details were missing), I just beated the hell outta Zephiel...
Then came The Sacred Stones that i LOVED, all the good things that were missing in the other games were finally there, so i really loved this game and i was finally able to say that i'm addicted to the Fire Emblem serie!
The next one to come will be Path Of Radiance on Gamecube that I didn't have the chance yet to play since i didn't have a Gamecube, but now that i got a Wii, I'll use the retrocompatibility and a friend of mine lent me his Path Of Radiance copy, yay!
I also saw with that same friend the OVAs (the only 2 episodes existing ever) of Fire Emblem with Marth (Mars lol) since he has them on VHS, too bad they didn't make more episodes, it's so good...
Oh and another Fire Emblem will be coming on Wii, can't wait for it!

SRT: OG2's a very good game, graphically, gameplay, and storyline wise.
Yggdra Union's good, but the difficulty might be a tad too high. Gulcasa will most likely make any newbie weep in their sleep. I still have quite a bit of trouble with him...so horribly broken

#16 Bulldogs Bulldoze Cowboys, 48-10
The 16th-ranked Fresno State Bulldogs stayed perfect on the season, as they rolled over the Wyoming Cowboys 48-10 Saturday night at War Memorial Stadium. Derek Carr threw for 360 yards and four touchdowns, as Fresno State kept their dreams of busting the BCS alive.
Wyoming jumped out to a 10-0 lead, but the Bulldogs rattled off 48 unanswered points and piled up 600 yards of total offense.
Carr connected with Marcel Jensen from 9-yards out and Isaiah Burse from 19 yards out in the second quarter, as Fresno State took a 14-10 lead at half. Carr tossed two more t-d passes in the second half, one to Jensen and another to Davante Adams. Marteze Waller, Josh Quezada and Brian Burrell added scores on the ground for the Bulldogs.
Fresno State (9-0, 6-0) finished with 234 yards on the ground, which included 105 from Quezada. They held the Cowboys to 296 yards on offense, which is 220 yards below what UW came into the game averaging.
Wyoming (4-5, 2-3) scored on a Brett Smith to Shaun Wick 1-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter. That came after a 79-yard scamper by Tedder Easton. Stuart Williams added a 27-yard field goal for the 10-0 lead with 12:53 left in the second quarter. The Pokes had gained 156 yards at that point. They managed only 140 more and turned it over twice.
Smith threw for only 141 yards, while Easton added 90 yards rushing. Jordan Stanton led the defense with 17 tackles.
The Cowboys return to action next Saturday at Boise State. Kick-off is at 8:15 p.m. Mountain time.

Once again proving that legal metabolism is slow, the Silicon Knights vs. Epic court battle slogs on. It's been a year since developer Silicon Knights filed suit against Epic, claiming that Epic had "failed to provide a working game engine". Silicon Knights went on to ditch the Unreal Engine 3 that it had licenced from Epic and finished Too Human with its own engine. Says Dyack:
Well the trial is proceeding, we feel really good about our claims, and we're hopeful that justice will be done. We all feel really strongly that they have defrauded us, and a major portion of the industry.
The Unreal Engine is still the industry's most popular third party engine.
