A beautiful morning, theres a decent 2ft wave out there, reasonably clean. The winds are very light 8mph westerly's, so not effecting the surf to much.
The wave periods a solid 8 seconds today, not offering much support to the surf. A good westerly swell direction.
The sun is out this morning but there's a fair bit of cloud around, highs of 20'C. Water temps a nice 17.4'C.
Head to Widemouth Bay today for the most of the swell, but it's coming in nice everywhere!

"RE: D300 3" Screen Issue"
There is a polarising filter in the LCD sandwich (as in most LCDs). This can be discovered rotating a hand held pol filter in front of the Nikon screen. Polarising filters can and are specifically used to reveal stress marks in plastic materials and I guess that you are seeing a side effect of the filter in your camera.http://pages.cthome.net/CAPThome/Polfork.htmlhttp://www.exploratorium.edu/snacks/bone_stress/index.htmlThat said I have yet to see the streaks you have described in my own D300s. By way of an experiment I took two of my polariser filters and inserted the Nikon screen protector in between them. Instantly I see beautiful rainbow stress patterns which perhaps are similar to the effect you have seen. (As a side note if you are every using two polariser filters together to produce a neutral density effect then you need to ensure that if one of the polarisiers is a linear type then it must be the one furthest away) I'm not suggesting that you have been viewing through the protector (or the throw-away film across the actual screen) just that the effect may be coming from the internal sandwich of plastic layers one of which is likely to be a polarising layer.regards,Ian

Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
"No other American economic policy maker in the past half-century could have written so thoughtfully about the implications of the Enlightenment for economic policy or have attempted, as Greenspan did while in office and does again here, to compute the physical weight of all the goods that comprise American gross domestic product. The range of topics and arguments makes this book a very important statement, whether one ultimately agrees or disagrees with the author…..Greenspan's range, vision and boldness is especially important at a time like the present, when Washington is preoccupied with the political and petty….Greenspan has written a major work ….[A] splendid book."
Burton Malkiel, The Wall Street Journal:
"The Map and the Territory is a model of expositional clarity, with complex and recondite matters made accessible to the lay reader. The book should be must reading for anyone interested in the way our financial markets work—and sometimes fail to do so."
"Compelling and hugely enlightening…This exposition of a lifetime as a practicing economist is full of insights and lessons for financiers, security analysts, business students and public policy makers, especially Presidents, congressmen, central bankers and the FDIC, SEC, CFTC, FHLB. It should be required reading for some of the insights into the way markets perform."
N. Gregory Mankiw, The New York Times Book Review:
"The book offers much wisdom….[Greenspan] sees the world through a different set of eyes than do many others in his field. He is driven less by theory, more by data and practical experience….Greenspan's new book lays out his worldview in light of the financial crisis, the deep recession and the meager recovery of the past five years. His critics often condemn him as an ideologue, but the book demonstrates the unfairness of that accusation. On a wide range of topics—from monetary, fiscal and financial policy to productivity, inequality and globalization—he offers readers a thoughtful, nuanced and open-minded perspective, tempered by many years of having seen both business and public policy from the inside….Whether or not you're an economist, you can't help coming away from The Map and the Territory with greater insight into many of the crucial issues facing the nation. Greenspan's path to fame may have been unconventional, but after reading this book, you'll understand why five American presidents turned to him and made him one of the great economic policy makers of our time."

Greenspan touches on a number of topics, but there are better books on each subject. For example, his discussion of how growth in government benefits has crowded out private savings is the better handled in Edgar Browning's, "Stealing From Each Other." Acharya and Richardson's "Restoring Financial Stability" and "Regulating Wall Street" are still the best books on the financial crisis and how to prevent another. I expect "The Map and the Territory" to sell wildly, but most readers will find that it does not live up to the hype. Greenspan most likely has very interesting things to write, but sadly he has not produced them here.
Thus, I have a close up view of the financial collapse and a broad-based view of the real world economy that underpins it. This perspective has made me a successful investor. But I do confess to having been blindsided by the 2008 collapse, as Mr. Greenspan and most professional economists were. This book explains Mr. Greenspan's opinion as to why so many professional economists were caught napping during the Great Recession that began in 2008 and casts its long shadow over the economy today and for years to come.
Mr. Greenspan gets right to the heart of the question:
On the face of it, the financial crisis also represented an existential crisis for economic forecasting. I began my postcrisis investigations, culminating in this book, in an effort to understand how we all got it so wrong, and what we can learn from the fact that we did..... What went wrong? Why was virtually every economist and policy maker of note so off about so large an issue?
Mr. Greenspan begins to answer the question with with an essay on investor psychology, popularly known as "animal spirits" that delves into the psychological reasons why investors may commit or withhold their capital from the economy. That is followed by a chapter on banking regulation.Read more ›
The Crash of '87 was the market response to uncertainties caused by five years of debt-fueled federal binge spending and speculation in high risk securities. Greenspan's response was Keynesian; he pumped as much public money into the market as it took to maintain the facade of integrity in finance. By 1987 politicians had redefined financial services from necessary parasites to the foundation for all that is good about America. By the end of 1988 well-employed Americans lived falsely optimistic lives in a false economy propped up by massive public debt. The people Greenspan needed to please were pleased, and so politicians and the corporate welfare classes tended to grade Greenspan's performance in the range A+++ to A++.
A different parallel reality tended to be unacknowledged. The middle class was shrinking as the quality of jobs declined. Risks to taxpayers increased as the quality of securities declined and government debt exploded. Still, Greenspan apparently felt the transfer of wealth from middle class consumers to parasitic financial services industries needed more accelerant, so The Maestro continued to weaken quality constraints on credit and debt claiming rational markets would check financial avarice.Read more ›

Richard Drew, Associated Press
NEW YORK — There's an upcoming concert at Baruch College, but it has nothing to do with students. The performers are in their 90s, and one is even older than the Manhattan school founded in 1919.
Pianist and composer Irving Fields, who turned 99 last week, will perform a show Monday night dubbed "90 and Going Strong" at the college along with Emmy-winning entertainer Fyvush Finkel and clarinetist Sol Yaged, both 91. The concert celebrates their passion and commitment to music and live performance despite their age.
"I call myself 99 years young. Age is just a number," Fields said in an interview. "Music keeps me younger. ... I play 10 notes, I'm 40 years younger. I play a whole crescendo, I'm like Benjamin Button!"
The trio's concert will be their second in a month at the 175-seat Engelman Recital Hall in the Baruch Performing Arts Center. Tickets cost $35.
"It was so successful. It was jam-packed," Fields said of their first show.
The performers have played music since their teenage years and enjoyed success by writing songs and appearing on television, in films and onstage. Fields, who recorded many albums, has written songs recorded by Sarah Vaughn and Dinah Shore. He also composed "Miami Beach Rhumba," which was used in Woody Allen's "Deconstructing Harry."
During a rehearsal Friday afternoon, the men were chatting away, sipping coffee and eating bagels. They have known one another for years and say their passion for music remains strong.
"What key are we in?" Yaged, holding his clarinet, says to Fields.
"I said D! I'll give you my hearing aid. I have an extra one," he replies as Finkel laughs.
Later, while performing together, Fields speeds up on piano.
"I'm not ready for your tempo yet!" Yaged yells.
"I love you, but you drive me nuts," Fields replies.
Despite some tense moments, there was a sense of love — for one another and for music — which was evident once they tightened their lips and played their instruments.
Yaged, who was heavily influenced by Benny Goodman, will perform with a five-piece band during the "90 and Going Strong" concert. During rehearsals, he was playing a clarinet he remembers buying in 1935 for $125, which he earned from shining shoes. He charged customers a nickel.
Finkel, too, recalls his first paying gig at a Jewish theater in Brooklyn when he was 9.
"A dollar a night. I was the hero of the family," said the actor, singer and comedian, who will open the show Monday.
Finkel earned an Emmy Award in 1994 for his role in the CBS drama series "Picket Fences." He has appeared in various films and television shows, including "Boston Public."
They want audiences to not be fooled by their age — they say they feel stronger than ever in their 90s. When asked how different performing today is compared to their earlier years, Finkel says: "Big difference. I'll tell you the difference."
"We get paid now," Yaged chimes in.
"Our least interest is to get paid. But to get on we get such a thrill," Finkel added. "In fact, we do things better now than we did before. To me every show is an opening night."
Fields, who performs regularly at Nino's Tuscany in New York City, echoed Finkel's sentiment.
"I've lived longer. I've seen more of life," he said. "I take chances now on things I couldn't do, and it works."
Fields is working on a documentary about his career and has penned a song honoring the Statue of Liberty called "Here's to the Lady," which he will perform Monday.
He says he doesn't plan to slow down in his career.
"I'm only 99, and well, I hope I live to be 109," Fields said. "I want to at least get to 100. I am so fulfilled when I play your favorite song."

"When a Blind Man Cries" is a song by British rock band Deep Purple, originally only available as the B-side of the single "Never Before", released in 1972. It was recorded during the Machine Head sessions in December 1971.
According to Ian Gillan, "it's just an example, for example if you think of the phrase «if a blind man cries» then its pretty sad, those who are disadvantaged tend to be less complaining than those who are able bodied".[1]
Live performances[edit]
Because guitarist Ritchie Blackmore disliked "When a Blind Man Cries", the band never played the song live during his stay with the band, with the exception of one occasion, on 6 April 1972 in Quebec, Canada, when Blackmore was ill, and Randy California from Spirit stood in for him. Ian Gillan performed the song live with Ian Gillan Band during the 1970s and 1980s.
When Joe Satriani replaced Blackmore during The Battle Rages On... tour in November 1993, "When a Blind Man Cries" joined the setlist as early as 5 December 1993. The song has become a staple live performance ever since, and has appeared on most of the live albums the band has released with Steve Morse.
After Steve Morse joined the band, the song is usually extended to around seven minutes when performed in concert with him, while the original song was only three minutes in length.[citation needed]
In addition, the song has also been released on the Gillan's Inn CD/DVD by Ian Gillan, featuring blind guitarist Jeff Healey.

Tony Abbott tells outraged women to cool it on ironing remark
- From: AAP
- February 09, 2010
- "More common to see women ironing"
- Way it works in his house
- Comment "appalling, patronising"
TONY Abbott says people are being "hypersensitive" about his comments on housewives doing the ironing.
Although he acknowledged that ironing was not just a woman's domain, he told a radio station today that in many Australian homes it was still much more common to see a woman with an iron in her hand.
The Federal Opposition Leader said that was the way it worked in his house - because his wife, Margie, wanted him to look neat and he probably wouldn't do it otherwise.
Mr Abbott made the ironing remark during a visit to a dry-cleaning store yesterday, which he used to warn of higher electricity prices under an emissions trading scheme (ETS).
"What the housewives of Australia need to understand as they do the ironing is that if they get it done commercially it's going to go up in price, and their own power bills when they switch the iron on are going to go up," he said.
Labor MP Yvette D'Ath said that the comment was "appalling and patronising" and showed Mr Abbott was out of touch.
"This is a leader and an opposition party that are living in the past," she said.
Mr Abbott got himself into hot water a few weeks ago over his description of a woman's virginity as "the greatest gift" she could give someone.
This morning, it was reported that the Coalition will introduce six months' paid parental leave if it wins the next election.
The report said Mr Abbott has given his backing to the plan, and it was now up to Opposition frontbencher Sharman Stone to come up with a way to make it workable.

Heh! Heh! Looks like the Labor faithful have found a chink in Tony Abbott's armour. Roughly the same percentage of people think he should be held accountable, as should vote for Labour in the next election - 30%!

Infrastructure 2.0 ≠ cloud computing ≠ IT as a Service. There is a difference between Infrastructure 2.0 and cloud. There is also a difference between cloud and IT as a Service. But they do go together, like a parfait. And everybody likes a parfait…
The introduction of the newest member of the cloud computing buzzword family is "IT as a Service." It is understandably causing some confusion because, after all, isn't that just another way to describe "private cloud"? No, actually it isn't. There's a lot more to it than that, and it's very applicable to both private and public models. Furthermore, equating "cloud computing" to "IT as a Service" does both a big a disservice as making synonyms of "Infrastructure 2.0" and "cloud computing." These three [ concepts | models | technologies ] are highly intertwined and in some cases even interdependent, but they are not the same.
In the simplest explanation possible: infrastructure 2.0 enables cloud computing which enables IT as a service.
Now that we've got that out of the way, let's dig in.
One of the core issues seems to be the rush to equate "enable" with "equal". There is a relationship between these three technological concepts but they are in no wise equivalent nor should be they be treated as such. Like SOA, the differences between them revolve primarily around the level of abstraction and the layers at which they operate. Not the layers of the OSI model or the technology stack, but the layers of a data center architecture.
Let's start at the bottom, shall we?
At the very lowest layer of the architecture is Infrastructure 2.0. Infrastructure 2.0 is focused on enabling dynamism and collaboration across the network and application delivery network infrastructure. It is the way in which traditionally disconnected (from a communication and management point of view) data center foundational components are imbued with the ability to connect and collaborate. This is primarily accomplished via open, standards-based APIs that provide a granular set of operational functions that can be invoked from a variety of programmatic methods such as orchestration systems, custom applications, and via integration with traditional data center management solutions. Infrastructure 2.0 is about making the network smarter both from a management and a run-time (execution) point of view, but in the case of its relationship to cloud and IT as a Service the view is primarily focused on management.
Infrastructure 2.0 includes the service-enablement of everything from routers to switches, from load balancers to application acceleration, from firewalls to web application security components to server (physical and virtual) infrastructure. It is, distilled to its core essence, API-enabled components.
Cloud computing is the closest to SOA in that it is about enabling operational services in much the same way as SOA was about enabling business services. Cloud computing takes the infrastructure layer services and orchestrates them together to codify an operational process that provides a more efficient means by which compute, network, storage, and security resources can be provisioned and managed. This, like Infrastructure 2.0, is an enabling technology. Alone, these operational services are generally discrete and are packaged up specifically as the means to an end – on-demand provisioning of IT services.
Cloud computing is the service-enablement of operational services and also carries along the notion of an API. In the case of cloud computing, this API serves as a framework through which specific operations can be accomplished in a push-button like manner.
IT as a SERVICE
At the top of our technology pyramid, as it is likely obvious at this point we are building up to the "pinnacle" of IT by laying more aggressively focused layers atop one another, we have IT as a Service. IT as a Service, unlike cloud computing, is designed not only to be consumed by other IT-minded folks, but also by (allegedly) business folks. IT as a Service broadens the provisioning and management of resources and begins to include not only operational services but those services that are more, well, businessy, such as identity management and access to resources.
IT as a Service builds on the services provided by cloud computing, which is often called a "cloud framework" or a "cloud API" and provides the means by which resources can be provisioned and managed. Now that sounds an awful lot like "cloud computing" but the abstraction is a bit higher than what we expect with cloud. Even in a cloud computing API we are steal interacting more directly with operational and compute-type resources. We're provisioning, primarily, infrastructure services but we are doing so at a much higher layer and in a way that makes it easy for both business and application developers and analysts to do so.
An example is probably in order at this point.
THE THREE LAYERS in the ARCHITECTURAL PARFAIT
Let us imagine a simple "application" which itself requires only one server and which must be available at all times.
That's the "service" IT is going to provide to the business.
In order to accomplish this seemingly simple task, there's a lot that actually has to go on under the hood, within the bowels of IT.
Consider, if you will, what fulfilling that request means. You need at least two servers and a Load balancer, you need a server and some storage, and you need – albeit unknown to the business user – firewall rules to ensure the application is only accessible to those whom you designate. So at the bottom layer of the stack (Infrastructure 2.0) you need a set of components that match these functions and they must be all be enabled with an API (or at a minimum by able to be automated via traditional scripting methods). Now the actual task of configuring a load balancer is not just a single API call. Ask RackSpace, or GoGrid, or Terremark, or any other cloud provider. It takes multiple steps to authenticate and configure – in the right order – that component. The same is true of many components at the infrastructure layer: the APIs are necessarily granular enough to provide the flexibility necessary to be combined in a way as to be customizable for each unique environment in which they may be deployed. So what you end up with is a set of infrastructure services that comprise the appropriate API calls for each component based on the specific operational policies in place.
At the next layer up you're providing even more abstract frameworks. The "cloud API" at this layer may provide services such as "auto-scaling" that require a great deal of configuration and registration of components with other components. There's automation and orchestration occurring at this layer of the IT Service Stack, as it were, that is much more complex but narrowly focused than at the previous infrastructure layer. It is at this layer that the services become more customized and able to provide business and customer specific options. It is also at this layer where things become more operationally focused, with the provisioning of "application resources" comprising perhaps the provisioning of both compute and storage resources. This layer also lays the foundation for metering and monitoring (cause you want to provide visibility, right?) which essentially overlays, i.e. makes a service of, multiple infrastructure resource monitoring services.
At the top layer is IT as a Service, and this is where systems become very abstracted and get turned into the IT King "A La Carte" Menu that is the ultimate goal according to everyone who's anyone (and a few people who aren't). This layer offers an interface to the cloud in such a way as to make self-service possible. It may not be Infrabook or even very pretty, but as long as it gets the job done cosmetics are just enhancing the value of what exists in the first place. IT as a Service is the culmination of all the work done at the previous layers to fine-tune services until they are at the point where they are consumable – in the sense that they are easy to understand and require no real technical understanding of what's actually going on. After all, a business user or application developer doesn't really need to know how the server and storage resources are provisioned, just in what sizes and how much it's going to cost.
IT as a Service ultimately enables the end-user – whomever that may be – to easily "order" IT services to fulfill the application specific requirements associated with an application deployment. That means availability, scalability, security, monitoring, and performance.
One of the first questions that should come to mind is: why does it matter? After all, one could cut out the "cloud computing" layer and go straight from infrastructure services to IT as a Service. While that's technically true it eliminates one of the biggest benefits of a layered and highly abstracted architecture : agility. By presenting each layer to the layer above as services, we are effectively employing the principles of a service-oriented architecture and separating the implementation from the interface. This provides the ability to modify the implementation without impacting the interface, which means less down-time and very little – if any – modification in layers above the layer being modified. This translates into, at the lowest level, vender agnosticism and the ability to avoid vendor-lock in. If two components, say a Juniper switch and a Cisco switch, are enabled with the means by which they can be enabled as services, then it becomes possible to switch the two at the implementation layer without requiring the changes to trickle upward through the interface and into the higher layers of the architecture.
It's polymorphism applied to an data center operation rather than a single object's operations, to put it in developer's terms. It's SOA applied to a data center rather than an application, to put it in an architect's terms.
It's an architectural parfait and, as we all know, everybody loves a parfait, right?

This is a no-hype, pragmatic post about why I think you should consider architecting your next project the way SOA and/or microservices suggest. No matter if it's a greenfield approach or if you're in dire need of refactoring. Please note: considering still keeps open the option of not taking that approach. After reading this, you will have a better idea about whether building multiple small components instead of a single, large component makes sense for your project. This post assumes that you...

The Internet of Things will challenge the status quo of how IT and development organizations operate. Or will it? Certainly the fog layer of IoT requires special insights about data ontology, security and transactional integrity. But the developmental challenges are the same: People, Process and Platform and how we integrate our thinking to solve complicated problems. In his session at 19th Cloud Expo, Craig Sproule, CEO of Metavine, will demonstrate how to move beyond today's coding paradigm ...

Right off the bat, Newman advises that we should "think of microservices as a specific approach for SOA in the same way that XP or Scrum are specific approaches for Agile Software development". These analogies are very interesting because my expectation was that microservices is a pattern. So I might infer that microservices is a set of process techniques as opposed to an architectural approach. Yet in the book, Newman clearly includes some elements of concept model and architecture as well as p...

Let's just nip the conflation of these terms in the bud, shall we?
"MIcro" is big these days. Both microservices and microsegmentation are having and will continue to have an impact on data center architecture, but not necessarily for the same reasons. There's a growing trend in which folks - particularly those with a network background - conflate the two and use them to mean the same thing.
They are not.
One is about the application. The other, the network. T...

Before becoming a developer, I was in the high school band. I played several brass instruments - including French horn and cornet - as well as keyboards in the jazz stage band. A musician and a nerd, what can I say? I even dabbled in writing music for the band. Okay, mostly I wrote arrangements of pop music, so the band could keep the crowd entertained during Friday night football games. What struck me then was that, to write parts for all the instruments - brass, woodwind, percussion, even k...

"We've come to expect that virtually all of our problems can be solved with code, so much so that we summon it unthinkingly before doing almost anything: from choosing what movie to watch, to finding a doctor, to deciding where to wake up the next morning and who with. But what if music is somehow different?"

Bot Assistants Around Us – A Practical Case
Pupils in an electronic learning course at the Georgia Institute of Technology were amazed to discover that the teaching helper they corresponded with all session ended up to be a robot.
Called Jill Watson, the auto attendant talked with students about homework, course projects, and answered questions about the course, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Jill Watson is part of Georgia Tech's on-line learning programs offering university grade courses to thousands of pupils via Udacity. According to the Georgia Institute of Technology, their bot gets up 10, 000 messages each semester, which is simple for people to get bogged down or be able to respond to all the questions.
Today, Watson powered technology is used also by a bevy of companies. The machine understanding and statistics technology had been trained to know perfect recipes, answer economic concerns, conduct client support in Spanish and power a goalkeeper robot at a popular resort chain.
Whilst the interaction isn't completely streamlined however, people are now able to speak with bot assistants rather than humans via Facebook chats.
But the particular bot at the Georgia Institute of Technology is not like bots you may find in Facebook, it is able of more developed interactions.
Last but not least you have to consider that having a bot privately maintaining TA responsibilities through a semester might be seen as an ethical difficulty, but for this particular course it is sensible and appropiate.

Best hotels in Belfast
Belfast is the largest city in Northern Ireland. It's also an up-and-coming tourist destination with great choice in shopping, entertainment and a lively nightlife. The people of Belfast are warm and friendly and there are plenty of attractions to keep you going, whether travelling as a family, a couple, alone or with friends. Cheap flights to Belfast are available all year round and great deals on quality accommodation can always be found on Hotels.com.
Belfast is a compact, accessible city with some impressive, historical sights. One of the best ways to see Belfast is on foot, taking in landmarks such as Belfast Castle, built in 1870; Queen's University, with its beautiful Oxbridge-inspired buildings and grounds; St Anne's Cathedral, a striking Hiberno-Romanesque building containing some remarkable works of art; and the Titanic Quarter, newly refurbished for the centenary of the 'Ship of Dreams'. Guided walking tours are a good way to learn more about the city and its history. Another good way to get around is to take a Value Cab Taxi Tour, saving your feet and covering more ground. Alternatively, take a boat tour around the Titanic Quarter, a great way to take in the historic sights at the birthplace of the great ship.
If it's retail therapy you need, Belfast has some great high street and designer stores, with something for everyone. Victory Square Shopping Centre is a favourite, with over 50 stores, cafés and restaurants, proving the perfect indoor retail experience. There is also a cinema on site to keep members of the family who are not interested in shopping entertained. If you fancy something more rustic, Belfast has some great markets including St. George's Market, housed in a beautiful Victorian building that dates back to the 1890s. This has become a popular tourist attraction for visitors to the city. The Friday Variety Market at St. George's opens from 6 a.m. until 1 p.m. and has everything from knick-knacks, second-hand clothes and antiques to fresh fish, fruit and vegetables. On Saturdays at St. George's, the City Food and Garden Market is a bustling hive of activity. Open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., go along and sample the local cheeses, meats and fresh organic produce on offer.
The MAC (Metropolitan Arts Centre) is one of the most exciting attractions in Belfast. Host to an array of exhibitions and events, this new venue is a great place to see some local and international talent. The Odyssey Complex, a five minute walk from Belfast city centre, is a must-visit. This large sporting and entertainment venue contains an interactive science centre, which will keep the kids happy for hours and a 10,000-seater sports arena where you can catch the Belfast Giants ice-hockey team on their home turf.
For some fresh air, Belfast has some great parks and is also ideally situated for day trips, taking in sights outside the city. At 368 metres in height, Cave Hill is a popular spot for great views of the city and Belfast Lough, and on a clear day you can even see Scotland in the distance. The Giant's Causeway, one of the most famous tourist sights in Northern Ireland, is a stunning terrain of basalt in an area of protected natural beauty. The Causeway, Ireland's only UNESCO Heritage Site, is approximately one hour from Belfast by car, and also accessible by train and bus, and a must-see for anyone visiting Northern Ireland.
