Oldest Operating Gin in AmericaLocated in Jackson, MS. And the guy with the spoon in his mouth has a jar of molasses. He dips the spoon into the molasses and drips it onto the belt. This engine runs the whole shebang. Those wheels are about 6 ft in diameter. A must see Last edited by tmays on Mon Dec 31, 2012 9:57 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Re: Oldest Oprating Gin in AmericaHere's the exhaust for that engine. The building is 2 stories high

That is neat!!! Thanks. Bill "The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the unabridged dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing shop." Edwin Conklin, biologist
Re: Oldest Operating Gin in AmericaGreat stuff, Thanks Thomas!
Re: Oldest Operating Gin in AmericaDefinitely neat, but I'd be sick of molasses after a while.
Sea salt is healthier only because it gets stuck in the holes of the shaker and you can't actually put it on your food.

I remember that there's an expression in English for this situation but I can't remember which one. Three weeks ago I did my best drawing ever, and now I did one better. This is what's coming up "I think I topped it off with this one" but I don't think it's the correct one. Which one is the correct one?

Used this on a camping trip. The hammock part is very easy to put up and take down. The netting has separate stretch cord which adds a little more time. Satisfied with the product for the price.

Good hammock for the money!
By Lea
from Chicago, IL
We bought two of these hammocks for a trip to costa rica and they worked really well! Easy to put up, and pack away quickly. I can say that when hung between two trees, the hammocks held pretty taut when I and my fiancé used them separately. I'm about 125lbs, and he is about 160lbs. We did try fitting both of us in one hammock for a short while. It did hold us, but due to the nature of hammocks, you both slide to the center and it's not exactly comfortable. So, the strength is good for holding the weight of two people, but I'd recommend not sharing is you want to be comfortable!

I got the same problem buddy. Doing it right now, so if I'm disconnected mid-post I apologise.
I noticed that Google Desktop ran into problems after installing Norton and I can't run a system scan, every time I try this is the result.
Anyone? If I have time to figure it out tomorrow I'll post my thoughts.
I have the same problem, only my CPU goes to 100% and stays there even after shuting down norton Internet Sercurity 2007. I can't run a systen scan either, it will check about 8500 files and then stop. Can't stop the scan or anything else. It will say that it is stoping but it never does. Have to close it by Clt ALt Del. but the CPU is still at 100% and AppSvc32.exe is still running. If I try to stop the process it just says Acess is Denied.

Remember Me
Walter Patterson Herald ColumnistThe 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution reads: "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."With this Amendment, the American people may have signed away the very freedoms that up until the passage of this Amendment had made this country unique with opportunities for financial success for those willing to take risks and work hard.The founding fathers recognized the damage a direct tax on incomes could do. That is why they wrote in Article I, Section 9, the following: "No capitation, or other direct tax, shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein directed to be taken." Hence the Constitution had to be changed in order for the federal government to tax your income.When the 16th Amendment was ratified, there were only about 1,400 people that this Amendment targeted. These were the so-called "super rich" who had made a lot of money in manufacturing, the railroads, or in real estate. To be fair to the "working people" of America, the corrupt politicians saw a pile of money that could be taxed, taken away from the rightful owner, and brought into the U. S. Treasury. It made no sense to argue that the U.S. Government had been able to pay its bills for well over a hundred years without resorting to an income tax. The corrupt spin doctors convinced the American people that only the rich would pay income taxes and that most Americans would never have to deal with the IRS. How did that promise work out?Now we have the IRS. This agency of the federal government has almost unbridled power. From an outsider looking in, it seems that the IRS thinks that it can do whatever it wants and answer to no one. Last week, Congress set a deadline for certain documents to be handed over to the oversight committee, but did those documents arrive? No. Congress is still waiting for them, and at the rate things are developing with this out-of-control agency, the documents may never be turned over.The Second Law of Thermodynamics states generally that "systems go from a state of order to a state of disorder." Although this is a scientific principle, in many ways it applies to the IRS. This bureaucracy has become disordered. When a system becomes disordered (broken), we must make some decisions, and I think Senator Ted Cruz from Texas has the answer. He suggests that we repeal the 16th Amendment and abolish the IRS. Now here is a politician that is making sense.Senator Cruz is correct. Let's correct the mistake we made when the 16th Amendment was ratified. Let's move to a consumption tax. I oppose a "flat tax" because you haven't solved the problem. It is still a direct tax on your income. With a consumption tax, you pay taxes only when you spend money. If you can somehow limit your need to purchase things, you can save a lot of money. Most of us spend too much money already on things that we could very well do without. However, the decision to buy or save would be yours, and the most important part is that you would never have to pay your taxes on April 15th. Now here is a scary thought. If nothing is done to rein in the IRS, it will be enforcing Obamacare. This out-of-control agency will determine if your health insurance plan passes muster or if you will have to pay a fine. There are already "death panels" contained within the fine print of Obamacare, but we will all experience a "double whammy" when the IRS adds a fine to our tax bill simply because we couldn't afford to purchase a policy that meets their high standards. Folks, this sounds like a very bad Hollywood movie.Let's see. Death panels and the IRS. Every elected representative should be inundated with calls from an angry constituency. We are talking about personal freedom. We are talking about the ability to make decisions for ourselves and live with the consequences. Obamacare and the IRS will make serfs of us all. I have always felt that it was Divine guidance that established this great country. Now I believe that only Divine intervention can save it. The Second Law of Thermodynamics has kicked in, and what we are seeing is not a pretty sight.
Jamie Patterson Managing EditorI could kick myself for being so clumsy but then it would just make matters worse. I can't kick, walk, skip, hop or move for that matter. I have been suffering from torn ligaments in my ankle and foot this week after a sidewalk snuck up on me. And mind you, I didn't just trip. I fell so hard a friend had to pick me up. Arriving home, defeated and embarrassed, I knew it was bad when my husband Jason cringed when he saw my foot. I have gone from a size 8 shoe to more like a 15. My foot is so swollen that I can't wear a shoe, and now it is started to turn every color of the rainbow. If I were to walk barefoot in the mud, a team of researchers from the Discovery Channel would be down here to investigate a Bigfoot sighting. I have been told to stay off of my foot, walk on crutches, keep ice on it and simply let it recover. Right, tell that to a working mother with a husband and two kids at home. The idea of relaxing with my foot propped up as I recover is not an option. I tried that the first night. Sprawled out on the couch, I had my ice pack on my foot and the television on my favorite show. I had an ice cold drink by my side. And the remote control held tightly in my hand. It lasted for about ten minutes because the Patterson home became a nightmare, a terror zone. I truly feel that kids smell fear because our son James and our daughter Elsie must know I am disabled. They have totally taken advantage of their daddy. The kids know that I am weak. They know I can't chase them down. They know that I can't grab them as fast as I usually do. And a stern mother having to hold onto a crutch with a hideous brace on her foot isn't very intimidating. Over the last few days, I have found cheese inside side table drawers. One kid ran outside in the back yard naked. The other one mopped the carpet. And Jason has a dazed look in his eyes. And the worst part of it all is that I can't do anything about it. I have been restricted to a recliner and couch. But I have found a friend who has one of those knee roller walker things. I can put my knee on it and be able to roll around the house, getting things done and taking names. The children will have to end their reign of chaos. Momma will be back in action. If one tries to streak through the yard again, I can roll faster to catch them. If I see one trying to shove food into the DVD player, I can be on the scene in seconds. I have these predictions all in hope. I may be worse off than I was before. I may even wreck and cause myself more injuries. For now, I will just wait in my recliner and hope for the best. I can't let the kids know that I might be back in action (somewhat) by the end of the week. They are a crafty breed, and you have to stay on your toes.But in this case, that is proving even more difficult.
Walter Patterson Herald ColumnistHow much confidence do you have in your federal government? Are you pleased with the bureaucrats' story about Benghazi? What about the IRS scandal? Do you believe that the President heard about this bureaucratic disaster by simply reading about it in the newspaper? Do you believe that the Department of Justice targeted Fox News and James Rosen, the chief Washington correspondent, because it felt that Rosen was a spy? Do you think that the Associated Press reporters were targeted because the Justice Department was looking for a State Department employee who was leaking classified information to the press?These are important questions. These questions go to the very heart of our republic. The citizens of this country must have confidence in their governmental institutions if this country is going to remain free and functional."I don't know" are the operative words used by our high level government officials from the President to the head of the IRS when prodded about these scandals. The IRS officials prove one thing. The IRS is as corrupt as the Department of Homeland Security, but it has one thing that DHS does not have. It has the intimidation factor. The IRS has the unbridled power to bring our strongest citizens to their knees.The IRS touches every taxpayer in America. Each April 15 we file our income taxes, and if we don't, then we can expect a letter from the IRS. If we owe additional taxes, then a penalty is assessed, and if this is not paid, the end result can be that the IRS confiscates your bank account, your paycheck, or any other property that can be converted to cash. There is a reason why the citizens of this country have a fear of the IRS. The IRS can literally ruin your life. A healthy fear by Americansof the IRS is not a paranoid delusion.Now we see that this all-powerful agency has used its power to target conservative groups applying for 501(c) 3 and 501(c) 4 statuses. These are non-profit organizations that the law allows to be created, and their mission is to render assistance to groups of people and to advocate for certain political policies. These applications were turned down or action on the request was delayed, in some instances, up to three years.If your organization had Tea Party in its title, or "liberty," or "patriot", your organization got the shaft. Hundreds of legitimate organizations never received their tax exempt status simply because the IRS determined somehow that they were conservative organizations. Remember, this news did not come out until after Obama was re-elected in 2012.Most of us can cite instances where we dislike or distrust the press. Some of us think it is too liberal and fails, in some instances, to tell the whole truth. However, many people in Massachusetts, for example, think that the press is too conservative. They get their news from the New York Times or from MSNBC. But all of us must remember that no matter where you get your news, the press (media) is protected by the Constitution of the United States. We have a free press in America. Whether you agree with the news source or not is irrelevant. You as a citizen are saddled with the responsibility of seeking out news sources that you trust. If you do your homework, there are plenty of legitimate news sources that publish accurate information, especially in this technological age.If any CEO or "Boss" gave the answers that I am seeing these bureaucrats give in the congressional hearing, he or she would be cleaning out his desk long before quitting time. This spectacle is a disgrace. These officials are doing everything that they can do to cover their rear ends, and most people, including Democrats, are getting frustrated. There is no way to excuse incompetence.Although the Administration is downplaying these scandals, I think that they are huge, especially the wrongdoing perpetrated by the IRS. People can understand this and they no longer trust the IRS to treat them fairly. Get on a "hit list" and the IRS can make your life miserable.It is still too early to say whether the White House was involved in the IRS scandal, but I find it hard to believe that this misconduct doesn't go all the way to the top. When top IRS officials, Lois Lerner, specifically, take the Fifth Amendment, my interest peeks and I can't help but believe that laws have been violated. Unfortunately, we will probably never know. Like most Washington scandals, this one will be swept under the rug. The country is truly in trouble.
Jamie Patterson Managing EditorWhen you are a child, you have many posters and pictures plastered on the walls of your room of the people you consider a hero or legend. When I was a kid, I had several photographs and large posters of people I admired and respected. Mr. T was on the back of my door. New Kids on the Block were above my bed. Babe Ruth was next to my window. And Carey Grant was on the other side. As we get older and put our childish things away, the posters start to come down. Many make it to storage. Others simply find their way to the trash. But posting photographs of people I respect is a tradition that has carried over into adulthood for me. Take our bathroom vanities for example. My husband Jason's mirror is clean, simple and empty. There is nothing taped, tagged, glued or stuck to his side. My mirror, however, has a variety of items hanging off of it. In one corner, I have a collection of stickers that our son James has given me over the years. A faded younger photograph of my grandfather is tucked away in the right corner. And then, sticking in the top right corner, alone, is a photograph of a lady who I had the privilege of meeting when I first moved to Yazoo to be with my now husband. It is a photograph of Mrs. Imogene Erickson when she was crowned Miss Mississippi in 1957. She even signed it for me, "thanking me for everything."I took that signed post card the day I received it in the mail and stuck it on my mirror to serve as an inspiration for me as to what a true lady looks like and holds herself. Anyone who knows me knows that I am obsessed with vintage items. From the 30 hats I own to the vintage dresses I find in the bottom of chests to the side table from the 1950s in our living room...I live for the things of yesterday. Along those lines, I have a soft spot for the classic beauties of that era. From their pin curls to their full skirts to their white gloves, I simply think they are gorgeous. But it is not just the look. It is the whole image of a classic lady. It may seem a bit too romantic for some, but I just eat it up. Grace Kelly was a knockout. Vivien Leigh was beautiful. And I think Elizabeth Taylor was one of a kind. But when I met Mrs. Imogene, I thought, "she blows all those ladies out of the water."She is so kind to me with every meeting. She is still just as beautiful as she was the day she was crowned Miss Mississippi. She has a soft voice, a loving touch and a sincere heart that is beyond compare.She is a lady. Yazoo City has a gem in Mrs. Imogene. She certainly represented her town with pride, and she still does today. To me, she is the image of days gone by when men were men and women were ladies. I look at her picture every morning, and I tell myself to try my hardest to be like her...kind, classic and caring. And as I try to roll my hair in that classic pin curl set that I love or when I try to get that hat to sit on my head just right...I glance over at the photograph of Mrs. Imogene and I am reminded of a real lady. It doesn't come easy. You have to work for it, I tell myself as I continue to pin the duck bills onto my head.But then again...do I?Mrs. Imogene makes it look so easy.
Ray Mosby Guest ColumnistThere is a reason why the First Amendment is the first amendment to the Constitution. It's the most important one.Late last Monday afternoon when the news that the U.S. Department of Justice had secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press came across the same computer screen displaying what I am now writing, I said aloud, "Oh, my God."When I quickly telephoned my friend and executive director of the Mississippi Press Association Layne Bruce to inform him, he said aloud, "Oh, my God. I was having a pretty good day until now."Because this is a big deal, folks, not just to members of the press, but to everybody else in the country. Because as Layne and I were later to say, almost in unison, to each other, "if they will do this to The AP, they will do it to anybody."In today's world of almost instantaneous but often erroneous information dispersal, The AP, a cooperative of thousands of news institutions, remains the trusted backbone of national and international reporting.In all, the Justice Dept. secretly seized the records of more than 20 phone lines used by up to 100 AP journalists during April and May of 2012. Those records listed the incoming and ongoing calls and the personal numbers of individual reporters in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn. offices. Incredibly, that also included the main number for AP reporters in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to lawyers for the organization.While there is no excuse justifiable enough for such an egregious act that violates any number of the Justice Department's printed guidelines, the one it is clinging to is the always popular "national security" implications of an ongoing investigation into the identity of the individual who leaked information for a May 7, 2012 AP story that detailed CIA efforts in Yemen to stop a terrorist plot.That argument weakens considerably, however, by consideration of the fact that the AP cooperated with the government's request at that time and delayed disseminating its story until after the time the plot had been successfully foiled. Neither lives nor the success of that operation were at stake or jeopardized.The truth of the matter is less noble.While it would recoil in horror at the comparison, the fact is that the Obama administration is and has been almost Nixonian in its preoccupation with plugging leaks to the press from within its governmental ranks, having already brought more cases against suspected leakers than all other previous presidents combined.And this, the secret subpoenaing of reporters' phone records, from the administration whose stated commitment to transparency is rivaled only by its stated commitment to civll liberties. It is simply the latest example of how virtually every second term presidency, regardless of party or philosophy, cannot seem to avoid falling into the hubris-baited trap of over-reaching. They go too far. They do things they shouldn't, simply because they have come to believe they can.But this is no minor screw-up. This is literally what The AP's top executive called, "a massive and unprecedented intrusion" into how news organizations gather the news and it clearly, in the words of the First Amendment, "abridges the freedom of the press" to do that very thing.And it must be remembered, this is no run-of-the-mill government agency full of pencil-pushing bureaucrats. This is the Department of Justice, full of lawyers who do, or certainly should know better.These are what are supposed to be the good guys. And when the good guys go trampling all over the rights and freedoms they are sworn and empowered to uphold, who is then left to defend those rights and freedoms from them?There is, of course, only the press, which is why the First Amendment is the most important one.

Dear EditorFirst, let us thank the members of the Yazoo City Fire department for their dedication and hard work. However, regarding the purchase of a new television set, as a taxpayer I have to say, sorry, but no especially when the city is wondering where to get funds to fix the crumbling roads. Shame on you for even considering such a request. Even $200 spent on a smaller TV now when others are struggling just to get by is wrong, selfish and plain ridiculous. Frankly, I can't believe the fire department even had the audacity to request any TV, especially a 55 inch one. When taxpayers and governments are trying to count pennies, one does not simply get rid of a television that works, and purchase a new one simply because it is aged. What happened to the principal of use it until it no longer works? Reduce, reuse and recycle needs to apply to everyone, not just to taxpayers. All government employees, not just the fire department, need to be more responsible when using taxpayers' money. Would you purchase a 55 inch television or a new television if you couldn't afford one and had no way to pay for it? I wouldn't. In fact, the television I currently own was purchased in 1987. It's not a big screen, high definition, nor 55 inches, but it works fine and I have no intention of purchasing another television while this one works. Why should the fire department or any other government entity be allowed to or even begin to think of doing such a ridiculous thing on the taxpayer's dollar?Fire department employees are well taken care of by the city they serve. We provide them with meals and a place to stay when they are on duty due to the nature of their job. We want them to be comfortable, but there comes a point when comfort turns to luxury. As long as their television is working, why should the taxpayers foot a bill for a new one? We shouldn't. The fire house is for comfort and not for luxuries. I'm curious to know if the fire department is also utilizing cable or satellite television also at the taxpayer's expense. Time to stop the buck and the time is now. If the firemen really want a new television for their luxury and enjoyment, they are free to pool their resources, their income, and purchase one for their use. Certainly, the fire department can use their television a little longer until it no longer works and let the $200 go to fix the crumbling roads, which are far more important. If the roads are unpassable, how will the firemen get to their destination and do the job they were hired to do? Again, thanks to the employees of fire departments everywhere for your dedication and hard work, but the taxpayers hired you to do a job and not to provide you with a second home. Sincerely, Dr. Frances Silva

In case you missed it, there was a bit of a row in the usually staid Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) world when the Government of France was caught red-handed spoofing some of Google's Web sites with forged SSL certificates. The French claimed it was "human error," and the mistake "had no consequences on the overall network security." Sacrebleu!
The dustup, however, was not confined to Google. Microsoft indicated that the breach was possibly far wider, impacting Google Chrome on Windows, among other apps. Microsoft rushed out a fix, but not for Windows XP or Windows Server 2003. Sorry, all you Windows XP users out there – that secure Google site might not be from Google at all, and nobody is going to do anything about it.
Not only does this faux pas raise the stakes for Google's Certificate Transparency project, but it also points out something far more sinister. After all, the NSA and Iran have also spoofed SSL certificates with compromised Certificate Authorities. In fact, it's a relatively straightforward hack. So here's the question: we know about France, the NSA, and Iran, but who is copying this attack that we don't know about? After all, we only know about the ones that were caught. Where the French go, so goes the world. Can we trust PKI at all anymore?
Many agencies of the US federal government, including across the military, follow a procurement policy that goes by the name Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). The rationale behind this policy is for the government to select the lowest cost provider among all suitable providers for any IT project it wishes to undertake. However, it almost always backfires. Here's an illustration that explains why.
Let's say you want to purchase a bag of apples, and you have three choices: one bag costs $10, and every apple in the bag is crisp, fresh, and delicious. One bag costs $2, but you can see that several apples in the bag are spoiled. The third bag will set you back $5, and while the apples in this bag aren't exactly spoiled, they are getting soft and you can tell they'll be mushy and starchy when you eat them – and you'd better eat them all right away.
If you follow the LPTA approach to buying apples, you would meet ahead of time and decide that for apples to be technically acceptable, they should not be spoiled. So sure enough, you end up selecting the $5 bag of apples. You get it home, but your kids take one look and refuse to eat them. After all, they're mushy! So they sit in your fridge for a few days until you throw them out.
On the other hand, if you had purchased the $10 bag of apples, your kids would have eaten them all – and you and the spouse would have had some too. After all, they were crisp and delicious. Sure, the bag cost twice as much, but you got no value at all out of the $5 bag. In other words, $10 bag has the best total cost of ownership.
I see this same pattern repeat itself time and again across the government, and many other organizations, either private or public sector, who have a similar purchasing policy. If you choose the lowest cost option among all the technically acceptable options, you will inevitably end up with the option that is just barely acceptable – the one that nobody really wants, but just crosses the line.
This argument also applies to hiring people. If you always choose the least expensive person who can do the job, you'll end up with people who can just barely do the job. That's no way to run a business!
Running Java in the Cloud, are you? Using Tomcat because it's lightweight? Let's take a closer look.
Your code is running on Tomcat, which is running on a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which is running on a Linux operating system (OS) in your virtual machine (VM) instance. But that VM is running on a hypervisor, which is probably running directly on the hardware – if you're lucky.
So, JVM – OS – hypervisor. Each provides protection and abstraction. And of course, layers of detritus that slow everything down. Wouldn't everything run a lot faster if we combined these three layers, stripping out all the stuff we don't need?
That's the idea behind the emerging concept of the Cloud Operating System. Integrate the JVM into the OS kernel. Strip out everything in the OS that the hypervisor is taking care of (like network access) or that the JVM doesn't need. What you end up with is an lean mean runtime-specific machine that runs much faster than a normal VM, and is more secure as well, simply because there is much less of it to hack.
Cloud Operating Systems have recently gained traction with the September release of OSv, put together by hardcore members of the Linux community. There's much more work to be done, of course, but they have enough in place to prove the concept.
Whether Cloud Service Providers like Amazon will adopt Cloud Operating Systems is anybody's guess, but I think it's more a matter of when than if – and even when we see them populating available VM instance types, they will be alongside more traditional configurations for the foreseeable future.
Ever wonder what's in all those books on the business shelf in your local big box bookstore? Management fads. Some management guru comes up with a novel hypothesis about how to run companies better, goes out and finds some case studies to support their hypothesis, and voila! A fad is born.
And then you have the management gurus who poke holes in other gurus' management fads. I find this lambasting of various fads deeply ironic, since what they're really doing is promoting their own management fad. In other words, "my management fad is better than your management fad." Join the club – it seems that every book in the business book section is doing the same thing one way or the other. Battle of the management fads. Not to say each fad doesn't have its strengths, or isn't evidence-based in some way. But as with all the other management fads, "evidence-based" means "I found a few case studies that back up my hypotheses." It's the same case-based reasoning that MBA schools use to churn out never-ending streams of people who end up managing companies more or less the same way everybody else does, for better or worse. Of course, this case-based evidence argument is the core weakness in traditional management science. The entire field of management science seems to be based on confirmation bias, rather than real data.
Today, however, we have Big Data: we're finally figuring out how to collect store, analyze, and manage far larger and more diverse data sets across the enterprise. If we play our cards right, we should be able to move beyond confirmation bias-based fads to true evidence-based management best practices. But of course, we can't let Big Data be just another management fad. Instead, Big Data promise to disrupt the whole notion of management fads, and with it, management science in general.
A recent blog post by Gartner Analyst Alessandro Perilli created a bit of a dustup in the OpenStack world. He wondered why vendors can't sell OpenStack to enterprises, and came up with four basic answers: lack of clarity about what OpenStack actually does, lack of transparency about OpenStack's business model, lack of vision, and lack of pragmatism.
All four points are quite valid and Perilli's argument holds water as far as it goes. However, his argument as well as the contrasting opinions of OpenStack aficionados all miss a larger point here.
Perilli provides some interesting insight into what Gartner customers are looking for when they ask for OpenStack advice: he points out "how many large enterprises keep calling Gartner asking clarifications about what OpenStack is and how they could leverage it to reduce their dependency from VMware." This statement reveals two interesting truths: first, many Gartner enterprise customers don't really understand OpenStack, and second, those same customers have VMware products but have problems either with VMware the company, or their products, or perhaps both.
Fair enough. However, the first question out of enterprise customers' mouths isn't "how can we use OpenStack to build a Private Cloud?" Why not? Given that OpenStack's core value proposition to enterprise customers is to form the core orchestration platform for building Private Clouds, the obvious question is why those customers aren't thinking in terms of Private Clouds.
The answer that illustrates the larger point here: nobody really wants a Private Cloud. In fact, there are two types of enterprise Cloud customers: those who think they want a Private Cloud but don't really want one, and those who don't think they want a Private Cloud and in truth, don't actually want one.
There are many reasons why people might think they want a Private Cloud: better security, greater control, increased flexibility, or better regulatory compliance, to name the most popular reasons. But in fact, Public Clouds either offer these qualities in much greater abundance than Private Clouds, or they soon will, once Public Clouds have matured a bit more.
Furthermore, there are many reasons why companies don't really want Private Clouds: they're far more difficult to build than anybody thinks, they're surprisingly expensive and difficult to secure, and they don't offer the elasticity benefit so important to Cloud Computing. In fact, many purported Private Clouds currently up and running aren't really Clouds at all, because they lack the automated provisioning, configuration, management, and monitoring that differentiate true Clouds from nothing more than virtualized data centers.
What do all these provocative points mean to OpenStack? Bottom line: they are stuck in a HAL 9000 moment. Remember HAL 9000, the sentient computer from 2001: A Space Odyssey that tried to kill the crew? As we learned in the sequel, the reason HAL went bonkers was because it was given contradictory instructions.
Just so with OpenStack: While OpenStack supports both Public and Private Clouds, the OpenStack enterprise story is a Private Cloud story. Only nobody really wants a Private Cloud. So what should OpenStack build for the enterprise, and what should they say about what they have to offer?
"You can't do that, Dave…"
We've added a new blog series to DevX entitled Enterprise Issues for Developers. Look for regular entries to start appearing on the site in the very near future. These articles and blog entries will focus on some of the core topics that impact developers working in a corporate setting or on large-scale projects.
We hope you like the new blog. Remember to comment and give us your feedback!
It seems my recent article on why the IoT may be DoA (dead on arrival) may have shaken something loose at large telecommunications firm Verizon. Today they announced that they are rolling out digital certificate services for the Internet of Things (IoT), so now we can all implement secure Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication with nary a care in the world.
Not so fast. Yes, putting digital certificates on a wider range of devices is a step in the right direction. But first, there's no new technology here; the announcement is more about pricing than anything else. Secondly, many M2M devices can't support digital certificates, as I explain in my article.
Even so, any device with storage, a processor, and a power supply should have no problem storing and using certificates, which covers a large swath of the IoT to be sure. So can we at least say that said swath is secure?
Not really. When a device is communicating with a server, then yes, a digital certificate on the device may help to secure that device's interactions with the server. But M2M suggests interactions between devices on a peer-to-peer basis with no server involved. Such interactions have complications that traditional identity management scenarios don't cover.
Verizon's Managed Certificate Services are a good starting point, but there's much more work to be done. And we still need to figure out how to secure RFID tags and all other sensors that don't have the internal capacity to deal with certificates.
I thought the 9000-person crowd at Amazon re:Invent last week was large, but by all accounts, Salesforce.com's Dreamforce this week in San Francisco puts re:Invent to shame. And all those throngs of aficionados heard one main announcement from Salesforce today: Salesforce 1.
Billed as a platform for the Internet of Things (IoT) – excuse me, the Internet of Customers – Salesforce 1 has new APIs, mobile tools, and more for connecting apps, devices and customer data.
Slick. Sexy. And unquestionably Cloudy. What's not to like?
The problem is, I doubt the Salesforce 1 team read my recent article on why the IoT may be DoA (as in dead on arrival). The reason? Security. As in, the IoT doesn't have any to speak of. All those RFID tags, smart refrigerators, cyber-aware automobiles, and intelligent traffic lights blink away, ripe for the hacking.
Now here's Salesforce, building an Internet of Customers, with nary a word about security in the marketing verbiage. Sure, they discuss security somewhere in the technical details, but the bottom line is that neither Salesforce nor anyone else really has a clue how to secure the IoT.
Not a moment after the virtual ink dried on my recent blog post pointing out that the more mature Hadoop becomes, the less of a Big Data tool it is, I received news that cemented this counterintuitive statement. I had a conversation at re:Invent today with SyncSort, an old guard mainframe ETL vendor who has leveraged their deep expertise in sorting algorithms to revamp the inner workings of MapReduce for the new Hadoop 2 release. During the conversation, however, they mentioned a research project they're working on: Hadoop on zLinux.
zLinux, of course, is Linux running on IBM zSeries mainframes. Linux on the mainframe has been around for a few years now, but the notion of running Hadoop on it is a glorious and unexpected mixing of old and new. The advantages, however, are very real.
Mainframes are still the workhorse of the enterprise data center. They are blisteringly fast and remarkably reliable. Those qualities, however, are not the whole story.
Perhaps the greatest bottleneck in any large scale Hadoop deployment is the local network. The Hadoop File System (HDFS) contains dozens or even hundreds of nodes, and all your Big Data must get onto them somehow.
However, when you put the HDFS on zLinux, then all those nodes are on the same physical server, no larger than a refrigerator. The mainframe's internal backplane handles the traffic to the nodes and between the nodes, lightening the load on the network. Hadoop on steroids.
Hadoop on zLinux isn't ready for prime time yet, but once it is, expect to see Hadoop on mainframes, no matter how strange that sounds. Use the right tool for the job, after all.
Some random thoughts from Amazon's second Cloud conference, re:Invent, in Las Vegas.
There are 9,000 attendees here, easily making it one of the largest Cloud conferences ever. But the crowd is about 98% male. Where are the women of the Cloud?
Amazon is rolling out WorkSpaces, their new Cloud-based desktop virtualization service. It will clearly shake up the desktop virtualization marketplace, but it's unlikely to expand the market by much. While admins love desktop virtualization, users hate it, because a blip in the network connection can hose your entire desktop experience.
The key to successful DevOps is beer. DevOps requires technological, process, and cultural changes, with the latter being the most difficult. Work through the cultural changes by helping developers and ops people get to know and like each other. That's where beer comes in.
IBM is going after Amazon, but Amazon isn't worried. After all, Amazon's cloud both works and makes them money. At the same time. Imagine that!
Workload migration and Cloudbursting have largely been vaporware up to this point, because workloads are typically complex and distributed, thus difficult to migrate. But no longer – CliQr has cracked this nut in spectacular fashion.
Amazon has a hard time opening the kimono. The press weren't invited to the analyst briefings, and neither press nor analysts were invited to the enterprise summit.
I'm going to miss the Pub Crawl tonight. My wife joined me on this trip, so I'd rather have a quiet evening with her. That means my evening will be only 50% male, while the pub crawl is bound to be in the 98% vicinity. Have fun, guys!

Ask A QuestionHow much larger is the MAKO's barrel compared to the CF6's barrel?
The 2014 DeMarini CF6 BBCOR: DXCFC Adult barrel will be similar to an Easton S1. The MAKO will be slightly longer and more extended.
My son is 4'11'' and 95 lbs. He is looking for a composite BBCOR bat for a contact hitter. Would Demarini CF6 or Easton MAKO be better?
The 2014 DeMarini CF6 BBCOR: DXCFC Adult and the 2014 Easton MAKO BBCOR: BB14MK Adult are both two-piece composite bats, designed for a contact hitter. They are both balanced and very high performing. The MAKO has a slightly extended barrel. The CF6 offers a D-Fusion handle to help reduce vibration, but this also causes it to feel stiffer.
How different is the 2014 CF6 from the 2014 Voodoo? Is the CF6 better, and how?
The 2014 DeMarini CF6 BBCOR: DXCFC Adult is a well-balanced two-piece composite model that's a great fit for contact hitters looking to increase bat speed. The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult is a two-piece hybrid design with an alloy barrel and a composite handle. The Voodoo is end loaded, making it a great fit for power hitters.
Product Description
New for 2014! The DeMarini CF6 uses groundbreaking technology to produce a BBCOR bat that can do some serious destruction on the diamond! Constructing the CF6 using their new Paradox Composite barrel and handle on this two-piece design creates a more compact carbon that enables DeMarini to make the new CF6 lighter and stronger than ever before. This year's CF6 features DeMarini's D-Fusion handle that eliminates all vibration for the smoothest feel of any bat on the diamond, and also creates an extended sweet spot through the entire barrel by transferring the energy from the handle back into the barrel. This revolutionary design has been praised by players that have tried it, because it allows you to swing harder without the fear of a mishit. The stronger design allows for more even weight distribution, which in turn produces faster bat speeds! Paradox Composite makes the barrel stronger, while being scientifically shaped to feel softer on impact. This makes for a bigger, hotter, and more responsive sweet spot and consistently more powerful swings! The CF6 features ParadoX Composite that creates a trampoline effect across the entirety of the barrel for completely optimized performance. The CF6 also features a Geo End Cap that's focus is on keeping the barrel stiff and not letting energy escape through the end of the bat. This gives each and every hit an extra blast of energy. DeMarini: Born Hardcore! The DeMarini CF6 is BBCOR Certified and approved for high school and collegiate play. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Radiologists struggled and had fun with voice recognition long before Siri was born. While it's great that voice recognition seems to be in the mainstream now with it making its way to your car and smart phone, in addition to the call centers and help-desks, radiology vendors are starting to leverage the technology to really catapult the radiology workflow to the next level. The reality of clinical documentation today is that documentation and radiology reporting is more than just about decreased report turnaround time and transcription cost savings. Voice recognition technology, used the right way, has the potential to really streamline the radiology workflow and make the readflow process more intelligent, meaningful, and accurate. The goal in many instances is to create a cohesive radiology workflow that is more meaningful.
What do you think are the breakout innovations, challenges and opportunities in this area? Clearly, intelligent use of technologies, such as natural language processing, offer a number of opportunities. But many times, the struggles are fairly basic – from integration issues to basic user experience failures.

Mr. McMULLEN, for the. majority of the Committee on Judiciary, reported to the House the Neal & Co. claim with the recommendation that the bill in relation to said claim and accompanying the report pass. Mr. McMullen explained that the bill reported empowered the claimants to file their complaint against the provisional Board of Commissioners for the Indiana Hospital for the Insane in the Superior Court of Marion County, and provides further for an appeal, and especially provides that the Court shall not be allowed to render any judgment against the State, but that the Hading of the Court under the bill when made shall be referred to this or the next General Assembly, and nothing paid there- on until such Assembly indorses and allows said claim.
Mr. PATTEN presented a minority report from the same Committee, recommending that the bill be indefinitely postponed.
Mr. WILES moved the adoption of the minority report.
Mr. STEWART said: "It seems to me that the majority report ought to prevail. Here are men 'who claim that they entered into a contract with the State to do certain work, and these men claim that they did the heavy part of the work-the part on which they could not realize any profit and then the light work, and that on which they expected to realize the profit for the entire work was refused them because of the modifications made by the architect. Now these men want a trill passed that will allow them to go into Court and present their claim against the State. This bill does not grant their claim; It simply gives thee men an opportunity to go into Court and let the Court say whether or not there is anything due these men from the State; and if, after a fair 'hearing, the Court decides that there is any money coming to the men, then the next Legislature will be called upon to grant or refuse this claim. If these men have a just claim let the 'Court so say, and if they have no just claim that will be the end of it.
Mr. ADAMS stated that the minority report was made as they claimed upon the provisions of the contract; that the provisions of the contract al- lowed the modification which the architect made, and this the gentlemen knew when they accepted this contract. Now these gentlemen should have looked to this matter before accepting this contract, provided they were capable of making such contract, find he believed they were. This minority report should be concurred in, or else we should make provision for a guardian for these gentlemen.
Mr. GIBSON was of the opinion that these gentlemen desired to get a judicial construction on this claim, and then come before the Legislature and say, Is this Legislature going back on the claims that the Court has decided legal?
Mr. WILEY said: Mr. Speaker. I am heartily in favor of concurring in the minority report. As a member of the Judiciary Committee I signed the report, and believing now as I did the a that this Legislature should do nothing that will permit any favored class or company of men to bring an I action against the State for alleged damage upon breach of contract, I am opposed to the bill. I have two reasons for my opposition.
1. Under Section 24 of Article 4 of the Constitution, just referred to by me gentleman from dark, the bill, if passed, would, in my opinion, be clearly unconstitutional, for the Constitution plainly says: "But no special act authorizing such suit (suit against the State) to be brought, or making compensation to any person claiming damages against the State, shall ever be passed." It is she intent of this bill to permit Messrs. Neal, Dodd & Co. to bring such action against the State, and hence for that reason I am opposed to it.
2. The alleged claim of Messrs. Neal, Dodd & Co. is based upon a statement of facts, which if true and the bill should pass, the claim could not be enforced a law.
It could not be enforced because it is based upon what our Courts have been pleased to denominate "speculative damages," and has been frequently held by our Supreme Court that this class of damages can not be enforced.
In short, the bill seeks to make the possible profits of the contract of Neal, Dodd & Go. with the State a measure of damages, when that contract was broken, by virtue of its own provisions, and such profits can not be the measure of damages, for it is contrary to public policy and ban been so held.
Mr. JEWETT stated that the objections urged by members on the floor against this bill were considered by the Committee, and was the reason why the gentlemen had submitted the minority report. He did not think that the House should attempt to decide this Constitutional question. These gentlemen do not ask the Legislature to pay them any special amount of money.
Mr. WILLIAMS, of Knox, (interrupting) asked Mr. Jewett if he knew the amount of these claims.
Mr. JEWETT did not know, and did not think the matter of paying an honest claim should depend upon the amount of the claim.
Mr. GORDON thought it was but fair to suppose that this Provisional Board acted fair about this matter, and it is but fair to believe that this Board had better knowledge of the facts than any Board or any Court that might be called upon to settle the fact of his claim.
Mr. ANTRIM said because differences arise between parties leading to litigation it does not follow that either party is dishonest. Because those contractors claim that the State owes them money it does not follow that they are dishonest, nor does it follow because these claims are not paid that the Provisional Board is dishonest. Now, this bill does not propose to pay the contractors one cent. it simply proposes to allow them an opportunity to prove their claim, and if they establish their claim the next General Assembly max or may not make appropriations for the payment of said claims. I see nothing unfair in this. It is just and right, gentlemen, being that if the contractors establish their claim the State will have to pay the cost of the suit. This the State should do if It owes these men and compels them to go into Court to establish their claim.
Mr. SHIVELEY thought that the claims should have been referred to the Committee on Claims page: 171[View Page 171]and allowed this Committee to have made a thorough investigation.
Mr. WILLIA.M8, of Knox, said: Mr. Speaker, I signed this minority report, and I am glad of it. The gentlemen who favor this majority report and advocate the payment of the Neal claim have talked a great deal about it, and the lobby is a most persistent and impudent one. In my five minutes I can not review this subject fully, but I wish to call the attention of the House to a few facts which the greedy advocates of this grab have failed to give us, but which are, nevertheless, facts that can not be disputed. In the first place this bill is in direct conflict with Section 24, Article 4. of the State Constitution, which rightly and expressly prohibits the General Assembly from passing any special act authorial suits to be brought against the State. The bill under consideration is a special bill for the benefit of Neal & Co. The fact is that Neal & Co. have been fully paid in cash for every dollar's worth of labor and materials furnished by them to the State. This claim, enormous in amount and extraordinary in character, is purely and entirely for speculative damages. It is not claimed that Neal & Co. lost any money on their contract with the State. It is not claimed that the State in any way violated the letter or spirit of the written contract made with Neal & Co. It is true that desiring the progress of the work some modifications were, with the knowledge and consent of Neal & Co., made in the contract, but, Mr. Speaker, in the original contract the State reserved the right to modify it, Neal & Co. assented to the changes and completed the work and got every dollar due them. It simmers down to this, that this is a claim for additional profits which they might have made upon this work if they had been working under a more liberal contract. They made money, but are sorry they did not make more. The gentleman from Kosciusko says Neal & Co. ought to have a day in Court ought to be provided with a tribunal before whom they can present their claims. I say to him that the law has provided a Court for them. The Provisional Board is the tribunal where this now stale claim has had its day in Court. This Board had the power to pay this claim, it was their duly to pay it if it was equitable and just. The Board did examine this claim years ego and decided that it was without merit and refused to pay it. I hold in my hand an able opinion by Judge Holman In the case of the State ex rel. John Martin vs. Provisional Board, etc., in which the Court holds that this Board has full and excessive jurisdiction. The opinion says: "It must rest with tile Board, however, to say whether or not they will issue the warrant, and whether or not he is a bona fide creditor of the State, and if so to what extent, in these particulars, they are the Judges." Mr. Speaker, Neal & Co.&s claim had its day in Court; It was rejected, and since that time the lobby has had it in charge. I can not give a list of the persons to whom this money would go it its claim is paid because I do not follow who the members of Neal & Co. are. This work was done years ago. If the claim is what the gentlemen from Kosciusko (Prazer) says it is, how did it happen that the Legislature of two years ago did not approve it? It was unnecessary to mention Mr. Hendricks' name here; he simply wrote the bill because he was attorney for Neal & Co. My constituents are perhaps old fogy people. They abhor repudiation, but they are also opposed to the payment of a single dollar out of the public funds except there be a legal or equitable reason for so doing, and speaking for them, I object to this majority report and demand the yeas and nays upon the pending question.
Mr. SMITH was of the opinion that we ought to establish a Court of Claims, to which all claims could be referred. He would not impugn any man's motives, but he thought thi8 question should be relegated to the Judiciary Committee, who should present a bill that would cover this whole question.
Mr. PATTEN desired to call things by their right names, and when he denounced this as a steal he meant what he said. He thought that because these gentlemen had made a bad contract, or a contract on which they had not realized as great a profit as they desired, they have appeared ere asking the members of the House to put their hands in the pockets of the State and pay them this extra amount.
The minority report was concurred in by yeas, 75: nays, 10.
The question now recurred on the majority report as amended by the minority report.
Mr. WILSON of Marion, thought that a Judicial question of this kind should go to a Judicial Tribunal. The Provisional Board desired that this matter should have a fair and judicial investigation. This bill asks that privilege and that privilege only. If these gentlemen think that they can not trust the Court they had better take some steps to purify this Court. If a judicial investigation decides that these gentlemen should have this claim they will then be allowed to come before the Legislature with this fact.
Mr. MOODY said: Mr. Speaker; this debate has at least resulted in changing the mind of the gentleman from Marion on Constitutional tribunals, and I suppose, hereafter, the submissionists will count on this support, as he says: "Of all bodies in the world the Legislature is the most unfit body to pass upon a Constitution I question " I think the gentleman from Knox takes the proper view of this question. Who are urging this bill? I will not impugn the motives of any man, but I do think that the justness of this claim should at least be vouched for by the friends of the bill before we voluntarily open the door to endless litigation. If this claim, amounting to $60,000 or $70,000, is just and the State ought to assume the payment thereof, then, certainly, these contractors will meet with a respectful hearing before the Committee on Claims.
This Committee has been provided for for this purpose, and why should this claim be an exception t all others? Again, Section 24, Article 4, of the Constitution of Indiana provides:
"Sec 24 Provisions may be made by general law, for bringing suit against the State, as to all liabilities originating after the adoption of this Constitution; but no special act authorizing such suit to be brought, or making compensation to any person claiming damages against the State, shall ever be passed "
Now, this bill proposes to do indirectly that which the Constitution provides can not De done directly. The bill provides that these contractors shall be authorized to go into Court and there establish the justness of their claim, and then with this club in their hands come back to the next Legislature and say, now we have a just claim. It had no merit four years ago; it gained none in two years, but now it is just because the Court to whom the last Legislature referred it, has so decided, and a refusal by you to make an appropriation for its payment is repudiation. I trust, gentlemen, that you will concur in the minority report.
Mr. JEWETT demanded the previous question which was seconded by the House, and under its operations the report as amended was adopted.

Love this dress!
Love this sweater dress. Perfect length and true to size. I wore it with the leggings I also purchased for warmth and it looked great! Purchased it during a 50 % off sale, great deal.

Nice but too long
I'm short so this was too long for me. Had to return.
December 1, 2012
Love it!
I bought this dress for a special occasion and I was impressed. The fit is flattering and I received many compliments the evening I wore it.

Lovely Flattering Dress
The stripes are very flattering on this dress and make my petite frame look taller and leaner. I am 5'3" and this dress hit me right above the knee, which is perfect. I like that it is interesting enough to be worn alone but still neutral enough to be accessorized with just about anything. This is my new favorite dress for winter.
November 27, 2012
I Returned This Dress
I was thrilled when I saw this dress online but sadly disappointed when I tried it on after receiving it. It did nothing to flatter my figure. I am not curvy and wonder if it would work better on a person with wider hips and a larger chest (I am a 36A). In addition, the material was scratchy and felt thin for a sweater dress.
November 27, 2012
Cute and comfortable dress
Cute dress. Originally ordered a large and it was huge on me. Returned it for a medium. It's still is loose on me but can't go smaller because it will be too small in the shoulders. So, the fit is more straight rather than taped along the waist like the picture here. That's the only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars for fit and the overall rating. Other than that, I love the dress. It is so soft and comfortable.
November 20, 2012
Very Nice Dress
I'm a size 4 and it fits perfect. Not too long, not too short. I'm 5'5" and hits just above the knee. The colors are exactly as pictured. The only minus is that the material is a little thinner than I would like for a sweater dress.
November 7, 2012
Just arrived in the mail...So so all the way through. The grey in it seems to make it more casual, or cheapens it. The fit is not very form fitting, which some may appreciate. And the material is not all that soft in comparison to some other Limited dresses, in fact its kinda itchy. It seems good for the season though, not sure if I'm keeping or returning at this point...

European Decorative Arts and Sculpture Plaque of a Church Interior Made in Delft, Netherlands, Europec. 1670 Artist/maker unknown, Dutch Tin-glazed earthenware with blue decoration; reverse unglazed * Gallery 261, European Art 1500-1850, second floor 2011-53-1 |
Purchased in honor of Ella Schaap with the Elizabeth Wandell Smith Fund, the John T. Morris Fund, funds contributed by Ida Schmertz, Martina and Michael Yamin, and members of the European Decorative Arts Committee, 2011LabelIn the mid-seventeenth century the Dutch city of Delft was a center of artistic activity, and its thriving ceramic industry began to produce tin-glazed earthenware tile plaques, which were often called "porcelain paintings" because they were hung on walls as decoration in the same way paintings would have been displayed. Made between 1650 and 1800, these plaques were manufactured from a single slab of clay and were usually framed. Prints often served as the principal source for their blue-and-white decoration. Petrus de Witte's frontispiece to The Heidelberg Catechism, published in 1663, served as the inspiration for this plaque, which shows the interior of a Gothic church. In the background a large group gathers around a minister who conducts a catechistic discourse at the base of a pulpit inscribed with the numeral "9." The numbers found on plaques of this sort indicate the psalm number that is the subject of the preacher's sermon. * Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons.
