This was a rush job, as noted by the poorly applied glitter. It was inspired by this tutorial. The shadow box frame was from my trip to Portland. Coincidentally we just booked a family trip there for later this month - so excited! Most of the other supplies I also had on hand. I panicked a bit that I couldn't find small bottle brush trees until I tried our local "ghetto" Michaels. There is a block of stores here in Long Beach that have craft supplies on par with the wholesale stores in downtown L.A.
Only those familiar with our raw, urban city would likely have the nerve to enter them, though, as they look rather unwelcoming from the front. The stores keep getting bigger, and the selection keeps increasing, so I am a happy crafter. One store had a large section of bins filled with little Christmas bits and bobs, like bottle brush trees (originally green) and small wreaths. They also had a corncob pipe (for $1!) to complete my snowman kit. Yeah!
My recap today is our New Year's celebration. We were expecting one other family, but they had to stay home due to illness. But, that didn't stop the four us from having a fun time. The boys and I ran around town late afternoon on the 31st picking up decorations and food items. Note to self: Get to the store early for cocktail weenies next year. We had appetizers
and store bought cakes with added bling
Prosecco and sparkling cider
and plenty of sparkle and shine
We found some stickers I thought would be cute to use to make paper plate clocks. They were countdown stickers starting from 10, so we had to be creative to come up with 11 and 12. If the other family had come (you know -- if I had somebody there to impress), I would have made hands for the clocks.
We found this fun door drape at the dollar store. Everett would not go through it! Finally when I was taking this pic, he dramatically came through, lol.
OK. Tomorrow. One more ornament and a hat. Pinky swear.

EducationTufts University, Economics BA, 1993, 3.4 GPA, cum laude
ExperienceI've tutored math and economics for school and college classes, and standardized tests, for the past five years, and taught test-prep classes at Baruch College for four years prior to that.
I really enjoy explaining math, and helping students understand the reasoning and logic of the subject; and when students grasp that logic, they're able to solve any problems that come up, and aren't relying on memorization alone to answer questions. With practice anyone can greatly improve their understanding of math and ability to solve questions, and hence their grade or score on standardized tests.
I got perfect scores on the SAT, GRE and GMAT math sections, and can show you how to break down and analyze the questions so you can solve them too. What's important is to understand the reasoning process by which you can take the information you're given, and connect it in a step-by-step way to the answer the question's asking for...
HobbiesI've always loved sports, especially tennis and basketball (playing and watching :)), and also love music of all kinds, movies, TV shows like the Sopranos and The Wire, as well as Charlie Rose and the Daily Show, and both fiction and non-fiction books...
Preferred Subjects
Math, Algebra, Geometry, Differential Equations, Calculus, Pre-Calculus, SAT Math, Statistics, Trigonometry, GRE, GMAT, ISEE, ACT, Economics

Actually, it's no story
December 17, 2013, 10:06:15 »
Yesterday I was thinking about geocaching. After work I sat on my truck's rock hard seat, turned the key, and listened as the engine sputtered to life. Man was it cold I thought to myself. It must be minus stupid I'm sure. Shifting into first. I slowly engaged the clutch and inched forward, the tires squeeking in the snow. Park'n'rides are not places where speed makes any sense, so I took my time getting to the exit shivering slightly all the while. As I waited in the line up I was thinking, man oh man it could be worse, I could still be doing my 365 days of caching in a row but thank goodness I am not, no caching lunacy in this weather for me!!
Later, FG

Rule 1: There's probably a trail to the cache.

Speaking of keeping a streak going at all costs. Last summer I was on a business trip in San Francisco and trying to keep a modest 100 day straight streak going. It wasn't too hard since the weather was nice and I had enough evening time to score a cache or two. On my last day I found a magnetic key cache a few feet from the front door of my hotel. In the earlier logs for the cache I found this epic tale of streak extension. I especially enjoy the line 'I persuaded my wife to wait at the hospital and to let me go after it.'
What an adventure! Seriously!
Most adventures happen when a cache is in an unusual and scenic spot or is extremely clever. This cache is neither, but was still quite the adventure.
You see, I've been on a find streak since the beginning of the year.
There were times it almost ended, but I got lucky. For example, I was in Cabo San Lucas for a week and I'd found the easy caches on other visits. I had to climb a mountain after taking a boat to an inaccessible beach to keep my streak alive.
This week I flew to SF for a few days. I'd already found many caches, but there were still plenty to find.
Shortly after arriving, I started feeling very poorly. I went to an urgent care center. The doctor thought I might have pneumonia and wanted me to go to the hospital emergency room for a blood test and ultrasound. I got there around 4:15 pm. They took a first look at 4:45 and admitted me at 5:20.
By 8:15, they had blood test results that said that I had not had a heart attack but might have pneumonia. They also said I might have an embolism. By 9:40 pm, I had had a CAT scan that confirmed pneumonia. They put me on IV antibiotics and released me at 10:20 pm.
I still hadn't found a cache for the day. Fortunately, I had my GPS with me. It showed a 1.5/1.5 in a park about 4 blocks away. I persuaded my wife to wait at the hospital and to let me go after it.
The park was undergoing renovations and was fenced off.
There was another cache, a 2/2 some 4 blocks in the opposite direction from the hospital. I persuaded my wife to let me try.
It, too, was fenced off for renovation.
I resigned myself to seeing my streak end. We took a taxi back to the condo where we were staying. It was 11:20 pm. My wife asked if there were any nearby caches. The GPS showed one, about half a mile away. We grabbed a taxi and went to GZ. The hint confirmed the cache was hidden pretty much as I expected from other SF hides. It was a quick grab.
My streak continued. What an adventure. I"ll give this a favorite point because its mere existence makes it one of my favorites.

Wow Brewster, that is quite a tale!!! I have to say, the only thing close to that crazy I did during my streak was when I had a couple of teeth pulled in the morning. The procedure was performed under sedation so you are in no condition to drive afterwards, never mind go hunting for caches. I spent the day napping and recovering and then finally managed to slip out and get a cache before day's end.
We are a crazy lot, aren't we!!!

Funny that you mention getting teeth pulled.
While this did occur well after I finished my streak, I was still pretty loopy from having wisdom teeth extracted when I found my 2000th cache (
Even though I was in absolutely no shape drive, and obviously did not drive, I still knew exactly what I was doing once we left the car.
Another added bonus was the fact that my cheeks did not swell.

Shine Beauty Pty Ltd v Shine Ltd [2015] ATMO 21
This matter concerned the opposition by Shine Beauty to the non-use removal of its trade mark registration SHINE filed by Shine Ltd.
Shine Beauty led evidence of its use of the trade mark SHINE and various other trade marks incorporating the element SHINE in relation to beauty salon services (Class 44). The Hearing Officer noted that these beauty salons have enjoyed significant success and the turnover generated by each was significant.
However, the registration that was the subject of the non-use removal action covered only Class 41. In its arguments, Shine Beauty attempted to rely on the 'pleasure, leisure, relaxation, fun, enjoyment'(or entertainment services in Class 41) that was experienced by its customers to retain its registration.
There was also some minor evidence of ancillary use of SHINE by Shine Beauty in relation to charitable promotions it had been involved in. Whilst the Hearing Officer commended Shine Beauty for these efforts, it was noted that this was not 'use of a trade mark' in the course of trade.
Accordingly, the Hearing Officer decided that the SHINE registration in Class 41 was to be removed from the Register.

I've not noticed any leaks & as i've only had the car a few months i've not put any oil in yet, just wondering what oil & what grade to use it's a 2.4v6? Or should i give it an oil & filter change? The computer says the service is due in 5k? Cheers, Rob.

Meta Research
Just about anyone reviewing published literature to answer research questions can type terms into a database and then hope to make sense of the information retrieved.

We offer clients the opportunity to make optimal use of existing data sources or to generate multi-country data de novo to achieve insights into the patient health journey. Our global team offers expertise in retrospective and prospective methodologies and is knowledgeable of commercialized data in key markets of the world, as well as disease- and specialty-specific registries.

Since arriving in Central America, I have asked nearly every person I have stayed with about how hurricanes have affected their lives.
In Belize, the majority of the population lives in coastal settlements that are barely above sea level. The town where I learned to SCUBA dive, Placencia, was almost completely destroyed by Hurricane Iris in 1991. People with insurance or in the tourism industry have rebuilt. Others sold their land and moved. Down the road from Placencia is Sand Bite, a small town that does not receive tourism dollars. This town has not fully rebuilt from the storm.
Hurricanes are likely to be stronger on a warmer earth. A recent study (here is a description) showed how an increase in the power of Atlantic hurricanes over the past 20 years is correlated with warmer ocean water in the Atlantic. This makes intuitive sense – hurricanes get their energy from warm ocean water, and warmer ocean water should mean more powerful hurricanes. More powerful hurricanes are also predicted by climate models. Furthermore, much of the damage done by hurricanes is not just by their winds, but by the rain that accompanies the storms. A warmer atmosphere can hold more water, and thus will likely provide heavier rains (read more on rains here).
In 1998, a huge category 5 hurricane, Hurricane Mitch, tore through the Caribbean and then parked itself over Central America, affecting almost every country. Ten thousand people died, and over 100,000 were left homeless.
The storm hit Honduras the hardest. It destroyed some coastal communities and then dropped amazing amounts of rain. A security guard at the San Pedro Sula airport described water in his house up to his armpits. A family who I stayed with in the countryside told me that they lost all of their crops. I asked what they did that year, and they replied that they were hungry that year. In Tegucigalpa, the flooding reached the third floor of some buildings (such as the building on the left). According to my city guide Carleton, many of the houses on the hill sides washed away. He showed me a large section of bare earth (shown on the right) where there used to be houses.
The destruction continued in the rest of Central America. In San Miguel, El Salvador, one man described a landslide that destroyed many homes. In Nicaragua, the family that I swam with on Good Friday invited me back to their house. Their house had been destroyed by Mitch, and rebuilt a year later by help from the government (photo left). Also in Nicaragua, I spent one night at the house of Cristina, who is shown on the right. Cristina explained that although no one in her community died, they lost all of their animals. "We ate a lot of rice and beans."
Mitch was so strong that its name has been retired – whereas most names for storms are reused after a few years, meteorologists will never again use the name Mitch. If current research is correct, though, we will see more storms like Mitch. And, the people who will suffer the most will be the people who I have met here in Central America – people who live in poorly constructed houses, who live on vulnerable slopes, or who rely on the food they grow to live.
Based on these stories, it seems that the human toll of Hurricane Mitch was many times worse than any storm in the U.S. Again, this is because of how people live here – they have fewer resources to survive and recover from a storm. Yet, growing up in the U.S., for a long time I thought that hurricanes damaged only Florida and nearby states because that is what I heard about in the media. Somehow we need to expand our view to other countries, especially as our actions – emissions of greenhouse gasses – will make storms worse internationally.


text: Sooo I have to say I have a sort of fear of painting. I just have it drilled into my mind that drawing is the basis of painting.. and I wont allow myself to paint because im not satisfied with my drawing. I wanna learn to paint in oil.. but im wondering if this whole idea I have is false. I know ateliers teach that one must learn to draw before painting. On the other hand I read the Harold Speed book where he recommends line and mass drawing be done simultaneously.. and im pretty sure mass drawing is kinda equivalent to painting. So is this thought I have kinda rediculous? Should I just pick up a brush, some paint, and a good book and just go for it? Or continue my casts and bargues for a while longer?

SKELETAL CLOCKS aka Silhouette Clocks aka Facade Clocks
Skeletal Clocks Primer And Other Descriptions
First, a primer on our nomenclature… We use the word "Skeletal" to describe a clock with no enclosed case; you see only the hands and hour markers – it's 'bare bones'! The hands and markers are mounted directly to a building fascia or wall; which is why this type of clock is sometimes referred to as a façade clock. An option is a non-illuminated background dial. Another option is illuminated hands and indexes, with or without the background dial. If you are looking for an illuminated face, please see our Tower/Case clocks.
Another identifier of a skeleton clock is the clock hands and numbers/indexes are always exposed; there is no cover or crystal.
The movement for a skeletal clock can be mounted on the inside of the wall; we will need to know the wall thickness because the clock movement shaft will be made to fit. If there is no access from the inside, the movement can be recessed into an opening on the fascia. mounted to a center rosette plate and recessed into the wall. In this case, an escutcheon plate, aka rosette, will cover the movement/opening and is usually made to match the hands and markers.
Skeletal Clock Indexes or Numbers?
LUMICHRON can make any style number or index, to match a specific font, or completely custom. The number scheme can be traditional Roman or Arabic or anything custom. If indexes, usually 12, but sometimes as few as 4 are specified, just not 8 (something to think about). Also, the minute marks are really never done as installing 60 small objects on a wall is difficult and painstaking.
Skeletal clock mounting requirements
As you see only the hands and numbers/indexes, the clock movement (motor/works) is typically located behind the wall and the hand drive-shaft goes through the wall to the façade. So… there needs to be access/protection to the backside of the wall. If there is no access from behind, then the movement must be mounted to a center rosette plate and recessed into the wall.
– Skeletal clocks on a parapet wall: Possible, but some protection needs to be considered for the movement on the back side
– Skeletal clocks on Elevator shafts: Possible, but the movement must be 'through-front' style, mounted to a rosette, so nothing is in the shaft.
Skeletal Clock Types
1) Hands and/or numbers/indexes only. A note about hands: As the clock hands are exposed, they are made to withstand extreme weather conditions and are fastened to the shafts with set screws. Once fastened, time adjustments are possible by activating the movement motors.
2) Hands, numbers/indexes on a non-illuminated background dial. If you want a fully illuminated background dial, see Tower/Case clocks.
3) Through-wall – the movement/motor is on the backside of the wall
4) Front Mount – the movement/motor is mounted to a rosette plate and the assembly installed through the front – requires a cavity in the wall to accommodate everything.
Skeletal Clock Time Control
All tower, building, architectural, outdoor clocks manufactured by LUMICHRON are completely automatic for hands-free operation. The time is managed by a master clock controller, usually located in the electrical room – secure and accessible. This device keeps track of the time with a quartz crystal with a lithium battery back-up, often synchronized with a GPS antenna for exact synchronization with NIST (Atomic Time, link). When the power is interrupted or DST changes the master clock will reset the display clock(s) automatically.
Skeletal Clock Illumination
Skeletal clock hands and indexes can be illuminated! Typical illumination is "halo-lit" which means each element is set off the wall 1.5" and the LED illumination shines from the back through translucent sign-grade unbreakable white polycarbonate – reflecting against the wall.
Also possible is "face-lit" which means the front of the elements illuminate – the hand or marker contains LED's the glow through the translucent sign-grade polycarbonate.
Illuminated skeletal clocks start at about 48″ diameter (minimum size to accomodate wiring and LED's)
Lastly, it is possible to combine halo-lighting with a background dial for a very nice effect.
Skeletal Clock Size
Skeletal clock measurement is the outside diameter; top of 12 to bottom of 6, number or index. To decide the size, look at it in context. An old rule of thumb was a foot in diameter for every 10 feet of building height, but that is really only for legibility of the dial. For example, a 24" diameter clock on the 2nd story of a building looks pretty small. It's better to think of the clock as an integral part of the architecture, and size it accordingly. Viewing distance is also a consideration and we have a reference sheet for distance/legibility dial style.
Benefits of a Skeletal Tower Clock
– Sometimes the look of just numbers and indexes is perfect for the situation
– The numbers/indexes can be of unlimited design; so get creative!
– If it's non-illuminated, there are fewer components
Skeletal Clock Details and Specifications
Generally, any large clock installed on a dedicated façade for such is a "Tower Clock". Sometimes referred to as an Architectural Clock since it defines or becomes an integral feature of the architecture, or a Building Clock, since it's part of the exterior of a building, or an Outdoor Clock since it's usually installed outside on the exterior of a structure.
Outdoor Tower Building Architectural Façade clock specifications are listed in the CSI MasterFormat category Manufactured Exterior Specialties, 10 74 13. Written specifications for any outdoor building clock can be provided as well as CAD drawings, simply drop us an E [link] and we'll respond promptly. Click Here to see basic PDF drawings.

A Few Other Considerations for a LUMICHRON Skeletal Tower Clock
All LUMICHRON exterior skeletal tower clocks are custom manufactured to meet site requirements. We have standard configurations to start with, but our forte is providing a solution to the challenges presented in a timely, cost-effective, professional manner.
We take every outdoor clock project personally and in order to best serve our customers we have no outside sales or representatives – you deal directly with the manufacturer. Once a project has been awarded you will receive detailed shop drawings and submittals for approval prior to construction. Normal delivery time for a typical building clock is about 5 – 8 weeks, depending on current backorders at the time. If you need it sooner, just let us know and we'll see what's possible!
Skeletal Clock Service
A skeletal clock shall always be constructed and installed with proper service access, either through the front or completely from the back. Keep this in mind when specifying or designing a building clock. If the back is non-accessible, then it needs to be installed through-front.
A LUMICHRON tower clock shall be serviceable by qualified personnel. This includes electrical contractors and electric sign companies. Complete records are maintained for every clock made so factory assistance is readily available. Complete Operation and Maintenance manuals are available upon request.

"T877 gives students a fascinating, broad insight into development. It takes you through issues such as poverty, inequality, global development frameworks etc. The module encourages you to think critically about your own preconceived notions. Yes, the economic wealth of many countries is growing, but is it fair to withdraw support and declare a country as 'middle income' when a minority holds the majority of all the wealth? What happens to all those who are still not benefitting from development? Who are they? How can we reach them? And what happens when they don't WANT to be reached? If you are eager to challenge, debate and be enlightened, then I highly recommend this module".

You may need medicines along with healthy eating and physical activity habits to manage your type 2 diabetes. You can take many diabetes medicines by mouth. These medicines are called oral medicines.
Most people with type 2 diabetes start medical treatment with metformin pills. Metformin also comes as a liquid. Metformin lowers the amount of glucose that your liver makes and helps your body use insulin better. This drug may help you lose a small amount of weight.
Other oral medicines act in different ways to lower blood glucose levels. You may need to add another diabetes medicine after a while or use a combination treatment. Combining two or three kinds of diabetes medicines can lower blood glucose levels more than taking just one.
What other injectable medicines treat type 2 diabetes?
Besides insulin, other types of injected medicines are available. These medicines help keep your blood glucose level from going too high after you eat. They may make you feel less hungry and help you lose some weight. Other injectable medicines are not substitutes for insulin. Learn more about noninsulin injectable medicines .

David Davis, who spends his winters in Buenos Aires, has written a "humorous" protest letter to Severn chief Tony Wray ahead of the company's AGM next week, in which he compares the water provider's board to the political "machinations" in Argentina under president Christina Kirchner and her "cronies".
Davis writes: "Intoxicated by power, these panjandrums take all measures to maintain their rule. The analogy with the recent behaviour of our board in response to a generous offer for our company cannot be overlooked."
"In the long term, we are never going to see that value again," adds Davis, who is still waiting for Wray's reply.
Perhaps because he signed off his investor's chronicle by ordering the utilities boss to: "Go. Now."
Skeletons at the Bank
Log on to the Apple Store if you want to see where the bodies are buried at the Bank of England.
The antiquated institution, where the doormen still wear dusky pink tailcoats, has dragged itself into the 21st century by launching an app that gives a virtual tour of "significant locations" in the building.
The highlight, when Diary downloaded the free app that was developed under Sir Mervyn King's watch, is the Garden Court, where the Bank claims that the "Bank Giant", a two-metre tall former clerk at the Bank of England, was buried in 1798 to protect his body from grave-snatchers.
Five banks officially objected to the Serious Fraud Office's request to produce documents to assist its ongoing fight against property tycoons Robert and Vincent Tchenguiz.
But only one finance house has appeared in court to fight its corner – Deutsche Bank, which has hired the heavyweight QC Michael Beloff to help keep its secrets safe.
Watch this space for details of whatever Deutsche is so keen to keep private if next week's ruling doesn't go Beloff's – and the bank's – way.
Wedded to the Treasury
Never mind George Osborne's new fitness-tracking wristband, as covered on newspaper front pages nationwide.
The biggest revelation as the Chancellor faced the Treasury Select Committee yesterday was Osborne's airing of the little-known fact that his top spending official, Sharon White, is married to to Robert Chote, the chairman of the "Independent" Office for Budget Responsibility.
Hotshot speaker for speech day
Great alarm at the recent speech day at Queen Margaret's School near York, when City headhunter Heather McGregor started brandishing a shotgun.
McGregor, the majority shareholder in Taylor Bennett, has taken up shooting as a way of making (even more) contacts – so the gun was her way of explaining the importance of networking in her speech as this year's guest of honour.
She certainly got her point across to Queen Margaret's impressionable young ladies.
The board of governors "recoiled in horror" at her radical stage prop, Diary hears, calming down only when they realised the weapon wasn't loaded.
Brokers from Charles Stanley, Alexander David Securities and Smith & Williamson turned out for this week's launch of Cholesterol, the third novel from ex-corporate financier Tony Drury.
Many of the guests are investors in the film adaptation of Drury's first thriller, Megan's Game, which will have a musical theme.
Yorkshire songstress Rebecca Baines gave the guests a preview of the song she has composed for the movie, Bring on the Waves, ahead of the start of production later this year.
Setting a fast pace at Tattersalls
Signs of recovery in the bloodstock market, as turnover at this week's Tattersalls auction more than doubled on last year's July sale, with the highest turnover on the opening day since 2008, at 2,819,600 guineas.
Qatari high-rollers led the bidding, helped by Max McNeill, the founder and chairman of the IT business Ultima Business Solutions, who relayed orders down to the phone to his bloodstock agent, Anthony Bromley, to buy Duroble Man for 130,000 guineas.
The horse will go into training with National Hunt trainer Alan King.

Published: Thursday 20th November 2014 by The News Editor
Swansea boss Garry Monk admits Wilfried Bony's new contract will not stop the speculation about his future.
Bony signed a one-year contract extension on Wednesday that will keep him at the Liberty Stadium until June 2018 after proving to be a huge hit since his club record £12million move from Dutch club Vitesse Arnhem in the summer of 2013.
The Ivory Coast striker – who scored 25 goals in his first season in English football and has another four so far this term – has been linked with Arsenal and Liverpool in the past and Monk accepts that speculation will always exist if the 25-year-old keeps on performing.
"It's just reward for what he's been doing since he joined us and it's a boost for the club and the fans but also for his team-mates," Monk said at his press conference ahead of Saturday's Barclays Premier League game at Manchester City.
"He's been very important on and off the pitch but he shows the commitment that the club have shown him in offering him a new deal.
"The club deserves it too and him signing it shows clear indication he wants to be here and part of this team, training with the players he's training with.
"But I don't think any contract you sign will stop speculation and being linked with anyone.
"We can't stop speculation whether it's a one-year or 20-year contract but that's not our problem.
"My problem is to try and sign the players we want on long-term contracts for as long as possible."
Bony could actually miss as many as six games for Swansea in January and February following the Ivory Coast's qualification this week for the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Equatorial Guinea.
But Bony will be available after the Ivory Coast's goalless draw against Cameroon which secured CAF qualification for the trip to the Etihad Stadium – a ground where Swansea have yet to score in the Premier League, let alone collect a point.
Manchester City have injuries to key players this weekend with Aleksandar Kolarov and Edin Dzeko ruled out by injury and captain Vincent Kompany and David Silva also struggling to make Swansea's visit.
But Monk said: "The players they've got to come in would get in most sides in the league.
"They are very strong as well and probably look at this as a chance to get three points but, hopefully, we can put on a performance to try and warrant points for ourselves.
"It's a tough place to go as they've got an extremely good squad and are defending champions.
"But the players relish these games to see how far they've come as individuals and a group.
"We can see how far we have come in these games and this is another chance to do that."
Swansea climbed into the top five before the international break with an excellent 2-1 comeback home victory over Arsenal but Monk said no-one was getting carried away at the Liberty Stadium with the start they have made this season.
"We just focus on the next game because if you look too far ahead you lose track of what you're doing," Monk said.
"We're just looking at Man City and giving that 100 per cent commitment and effort and see where that takes us.
"Who knows if we can stay in the top six. You obviously look at the tables but my focus is on attacking every single game as best we can.
"We want to get the best performances and hopefully that will get us enough points to stay in the top half of the table and see where that takes us.
"We're realistic and teams below us are very powerful financially, but all I care is we compete against these teams and we're competing so far."

Sam Stosur splits with long-time coach David Taylor and will team with Alicia Molik for US Open campaign
Sam Stosur has split with her long-time coach David Taylor, the former US Open champion announced on Saturday.
Stosur said Fed Cup captain Alicia Molik would fill Taylor's shoes in an interim role at the US Open starting on August 25, before the 29-year-old considered her long term options.
"After six years working together my coach David Taylor and I have decided to part ways," Stosur said in a statement on the Tennis Australia website.
"We've had a tremendous working relationship and I owe so much of my success to Dave's hard work and enduring support.
"Dave and I started working together during my comeback from Lyme disease, one of the most challenging times of my life.
"His dedication during the many highs and lows of my career has been unwavering both on and off the court.
"I wish Dave all the very best for the future.
"During the US Open I'll be working with the Tennis Australia team, including Fed Cup captain Alicia Molik, and I'll start thinking about longer term options after New York."
Taylor was by Stosur's side when she beat Serena Williams in the final of the 2011 US Open.
He also played a hand in Molik's rise to the top 10.
Stosur had found some impressive form ahead of her return to Flushing Meadows, winning nine of 10 matches before falling to world number 25 Simona Halep in the third round of the Cincinnati Masters on Friday.
Sharapova splits with Connors after one match
Meanwhile Maria Sharapova has confirmed she has severed ties with coach Jimmy Connors after one match together.
The Russian world number three said in a statement that the pairing had not been "the right fit for this time in my career".
Sharapova had originally hoped her partnership with the fiery eight-times grand slam champion would produce the same type of success Andy Murray has enjoyed since recruiting Ivan Lendl, another former playing great, as his coach.
But instead the brief experiment ended after one match, a second round loss to Sloane Stephens in Cincinnati on Tuesday.
The split leaves Sharapova without a coach heading into the U.S. Open, the final grand slam of the season which starts on Aug. 26.

I was invited to take part in a datacenter building contest from Juniper Networks recently. I don't need to give you the full story behind myself and Legos. Let's just say I have loved them for a long time. Both of my kids have multiple sets. How could I refuse such a contest? The 5 year old boy that occupies a significant portion of my brain still wishes he could sit at home all day and play video games and build complex structures with Legos. Oh, and the best part is that whoever wins, gets a donation to their favorite charity courtesy of Juniper!
And so it was that I was eagerly anticipating my Lego package from my buddy Ashton at Juniper. As luck would have it, I was out of town last week toiling away for my employer the day the Lego set arrived. My wife texted me that the package had arrived. In the course of the week, I became rather ill. Maybe it was the cold north Texas air, or maybe it was breathing 10 year old dust from the ancient wireless access points I was replacing. In any event, I was laid up over the weekend trying to recover. As this week wore on, I began to see designs from my competition. They were all good designs and I was still trying to recover from my illness. I knew I would have to pull something together at the last minute due to pressing matters at work keeping me from abusing my work at home privilege.
This evening, with a design concept in hand, I summoned all of my Lego datacenter powers and merged them with the leftover palm residue enshrined on various business cards from Juniper employees. I'm only about 80% recovered from my illness, so I may have been a bit grumpy when the final plan came together. Not Ivan Pepelnjak grumpy, but still grumpy. 🙂
It is hard to make out any old palm residue, but I assure you it is there. I felt design powers flow through me like The Force!
Behold, the Leguniper datacenter!
The first thing you notice is the dark void around the datacenter. This is not by accident. What appears to be void is simply the light being overshadowed by the Cloud. This IS a cloud datacenter, and in the interest of fully displaying the power of the Cloud, I thought it would be good to show you, dear reader, what the Cloud looks like. Nobody else has shown this before, so you are in for a treat!
The Cloud in all of its glory!
Not what you expected? Well, reality is often different than what we picture in our minds. You'll just have to take my word for it.
Touring the Leguniper Datacenter
First up, is the Security section. In this datacenter, security is a big deal. They ensure that nobody can do their job except for the external hackers. All of their equipment is kept behind locked doors, even within the datacenter, as they do not trust even the other employees. Notice the fierce determination in their eyes. They take their job seriously!
The long line of employees who have committed various infractions never ends. They must come and present themselves before the security department to explain their Internet abuse or why they cannot choose a 328 character password properly. All must come and all must apologize profusely. In fact, I was so terrified when I took their photos, that hairs from my head fell onto the datacenter floor out of sheer terror!
You aren't going to get anything by this datacenter security team. If you think you can bring in an unauthorized wireless device, think again! They have a state of the art omnidirectional antenna on top of their security suite that is always scanning for rogue clients and access points. You WILL be caught, and when you are caught, you will stand in line with everyone else and explain your infraction. You have been warned.
What's that? You want to see inside the security suite? Are you nuts? You are NOT authorized to do that! Well, since you are my guest, and I am the designer, perhaps I can make an exception. Hold on a second and let me see about getting that door opened.
I forgot about the retinal scan device at the door! It keeps out all unauthorized people. Let me bribe one of the security guards with a chance at dating the blond haired lady working at the NOC desk and see if he will let me in.
Success! Now that the door is opened, let's see what super secret stuff lies inside.
Looks like we have us a pair of Juniper SRX security devices. There are several other things in this room, but we aren't too interested in them since they are mainly a bunch of appliances from other vendors that compile logs that nobody reads. Let's get out of here before the security guard realizes I was lying about the date with the NOC lady. She's really only interested in dating network engineers.
Here we can see all the racks containing the servers and storage. It is forbidden territory for us network folks. An unknown virtual void of gigantic databases, multi-tiered applications, and various trickery designed to make everyone think it is always a network problem. The demarcation line between the network gear and the servers and storage has been set by the warnings of dragons. Proceed further at your own risk. Occasionally, one must enter into that territory. You see, there are some QFX 3500 and 3600 top of rack QFabric nodes in every rack indicated by the blue bricks. We don't want to get caught up in the server and storage trickery, so we use a different color to know what is safe to touch.
We zoom in a little closer and we can see all the fiber and copper coming from the servers and storage extending into the super cool network racks. It is suspended in the air above all of the racks via nice and tidy ladder trays. No more diving under the raised floor and plunging your arms into a cabling mess to find that one new drop that was run. No, no, no. Everything is fully populated and extended into the network hardware so that it is only touched during install and IF there is a failure, there are redundant connections so that nothing goes down. Well, the network doesn't go down. There's no telling what is going on over there in virtual land.
Now we come to the part of the tour you have all been waiting for. Get your cameras ready. This is going to be good! Here we have our QFabric Interconnects and Directors. Why did I design it this way? I didn't want to have to configure a bunch of top of rack switches independently. I figured I might as well make the datacenter one big logical switch. It gives me more free time to work on the stuff that really matters, like my video gaming skills. In addition to the QFabric piece, I also included some really nifty MX routers. From these, I am doing cool stuff like BGP peering. You know? Real protocols. Manly protocols. Oh, BGP is an application you say? Shut your mouth! I designed this datacenter. It is what I say it is! (I told you I was grumpy.)
If I actually need to physically touch any of this stuff, my droid takes care of it. I don't want this pristine equipment polluted by human hands. I need typing skills that rival Mavis Beacon. Your CCNA does not impress me and will not grant you access to this hardware. Might I suggest a Juniper certification to win my favor and a shot at replacing the droid once maintenance expires on it?
Let's go visit the network operations center(NOC) now.
Here are all of our NOC technicians slaving away at maintaining all of this hardware. They are watching environmental systems, ensuring backups run, and constantly wrestling with application issues caused by imperfect code, written by imperfect humans, and executed by imperfect end users. It's cool though. They are all very nice and friendly. Sometimes their manager gets riled up and fires one of them for making a mistake, but……wait a sec. Let's make sure they are working since the manager appears to be berating an employee at the moment.
Looks good! Wait a sec. Does that guy with the hat on have his password sitting on top of his monitor? Uh oh. Don't tell security or his manager. I'll wait until the tour is over to go talk to him. That way he'll owe me a favor down the road. That manager is yelling pretty loud. Let's go see what has him all frustrated!
Oh. I see what happened. The manager was busy counting out his quarterly bonus and somebody interrupted him. They want him to pick up his red phone and call the network guy to do some troubleshooting. If there is one rule in the datacenter, it is that you do not interrupt the manager when he is counting his bonus. Who in the world interrupted him?
That guy? He's a DBA who kicked off an indexing job 5 minutes ago and wonders why his servers are running slow. This won't end well for him.
Well, that's about it for the tour. You are welcome to come hang out in the network engineering office. There isn't too much going on. We mainly just sit around and wait for the phone to ring. Since our datacenter is one big gigantic switch, not much happens in the way of changes. Still want to check out the office? Okay. Here you go. I'll just relax for a bit while you check things out.
I'm just watching a little TV. Not much going on. Just drinking my coffee and lying down in my datacenter bed.
It is pretty comfortable here in the fun zone. I wait around for that red phone to ring. When it doesn't ring, I like to catch up on all the latest TV shows and take naps.
Hope you enjoyed the tour. You can show yourselves out.
That's A Wrap
This contest was pretty fun. Obviously this isn't a super serious datacenter design. That isn't to say that I wouldn't use any of this equipment. I would. I also may have been a bit harsh on the non-network sections of the datacenter, but it was all in good fun. If I was in the business of designing datacenters, I certainly wouldn't have that many people running around the building. However, you can bet that I would have racks and racks of servers, storage, security, and network gear. Thanks to Juniper Networks for the chance to participate in something out of the box like this! Good luck to all my competition. There were some pretty cool entries that I have seen so far. I'll link to the ones I am aware of below, in the order I came across them:
Stephen Foskett – Datacenter History: Through the Ages in Lego
Amy Arnold – You built a data center, out of a DeLorean?!
Ivan Pepelnjak – Lego Data Center
Tom Hollingsworth – Building A Lego Data Center Juniper Style
Robert Novak – Building the Best Lego Datacenter for Juniper

The average life expectancy of an indoor cat is 12 years, while an outdoor cat has only 5 years life expectancy due to dangers such as traffic and poision. Owners are encourage to purchase scratch polls and other toys to allow a cat to experience similar environment conditions that they would face outdoors.
Cats are 'obligate carnivores' meaning they are designed to get their protein from meat only. Cats also need to consume water with their food. Canned food is recommended over dry food. This is because dry food is higher in carbohydrates, lower in water content and and has plant-based proteins instead of animal-based proteins found in wet food. Tuna is a well-known cat favourite.

Fish tanks and at home aquariums are the approprtiate places to house fish. Essential to maintaining a healthy fish it ensuring water quality remains at its highest standard. A filtration system is reccomended and cleaning every second day is recommended (petalila.com.au)
Fish food should bought with the highest amount of protein, fat and fibre. Fish can be glutenous and are know to eat until they burst, so careful monitoring of food is a must. Some fish breeds enjoy treats such as blood worms, white bait or prawn pieces. Each fish species is different so research is required when you purchase a fish on how to best manage their diet.

Limo Services to World Trade Center Orlando
Offering a limo service to World Trade Center Orlando shows clients that you care about the company's reputation and the comfort of the clients. It helps set a good first impression for new clients and makes the bond stronger with existing client
Orlando limo service providers can offer limo services for both local clients and clients coming from other cities and countries. Companies can hire a limo service to pick client up from the airport or from their hotels or homes in the city. It makes the clients feel respected and acknowledged.
Showing off a company's success to the clients is an action whose positive impacts are going to show in any future deals or negotiations with the client. A client who is picked up from the airport or his place of residence in a limo is surely going to consider the level of success of the company to be very high in order to afford this show of luxury and elegance.
The reputation of a company is not solely dependent on its success. Displays of grandeur also play a huge role in building the image of a company. Anybody who sees a limo on the streets thinks that the person sitting inside is a VIP. Clients who are picked up in a limo feel like they have been granted a VIP position by the company and this is bound to foster good relations between the company and the client. An Orlando limo service adds to the good image of the company and shows to the clients that the company has a certain standard which they can expect from the business deals as well. Who wouldn't like to work with a company that owns a limo or can afford to hire a limo service on a regular basis?
Every company knows that having a good image in the market is one of the best ways in which business relations can be built and strengthened. Nobody wishes to work with a company that has a bad reputation. If an Orlando limo service can help you make better relations with your important clients, and then why not send a limo to pick them up for the event your company is hosting at the World Trade Center in Orlando?
