Hey, Joe. Give EMC the gun and SHOOT IT DOWN - before someone else messes 'round town
The sad part is there are two groups to appease here.
1. Investors who want a quick pay check.
2. The business and the people that work for said business that do well together, and not split apart competing against each other.
There is no middle ground in most cases. Greedy people are greedy. You can't make them be less greedy.
Will EMC swallow cloudy upstart? These analysts seem to think so
Re: Am I the only one...
I don't see an issue. If anything your solution would be a cluster of a support nightmare.
In the EMC world, you would have specific array's for specific workloads. Need 5-9's of service, VMAX. VDI/database/high IOPS, Xtreme. Then there is Isilon, VNX, etc...
The alternative, buy multiple arrays from NetApp, Pure, Nimble, HP, etc... Few players have a solid all encompassing product line. Yes many of EMC's overlap to a large degree, but they are targeted workloads, when you have a great EMC SE to work with that can cut the BS. NetApp was on the right track for a number of years, but have gotten long in the tooth and near monolithic.
Hold on now, EMC recently purchased TwinStrata this past year, and that is almost exactly like this product. It's a physical or virtual gateway, that provides CIFS/NFS/iSCSI protocol support. As a gateway it cache's data that eventually lives on more than a dozen cloud storage providers, including EMC's ATMOS and I assume ECS.
VMware's MARVIN emerges as 'EVO' for branch offices and web-scale rigs
VCE is not an SMB play, it's entry point is way too high, and "Marvin," will not be a competitor at all.
If anything this puts many of the SMB/mid-sized storage arrays at risk. Who needs a Nimble or Lefthand or converged Nutanix when you can get something like marvin?
Gartner mages throw deduping backup appliance bones, claim EMC's in lead
Commvault is software, and not an appliance. StorageTek isn't really a backup appliance, but more so a NAS. Though Oracle will sometimes say otherwise...
That said, DataDomain has the biggest market share and the most flexible options. It's the oldest product too. It's got a lot of features, and a lot of features that can work concurrently, not to mention more compatibility/integration with 3rd parties than anyone. If only it didn't cost so much...
NetScout sues Gartner over magic quadrant placement
Don't Hammer Bob's backup biz: At least sales are up
Commvault partners with any storage vendor, they don't have an allegiance. I've run into them with CoRAID, NetApp, HDS, even Isilon from EMC. They only claim to need "disk," and will do anything to push their software stack. I do not doubt it's a good product, it's just that their pre-sales teams are very coy and misleading about their true hardware requirements for production workloads.
Someone like NetApp buying Commvault would be a huge win I think for both companies. And HDS is a good bet too, though I think NetApp would make it's attempt first and be aggressive in its offer for it, if only CV wouldn't ask for a 50% premium of their worth.
The only way IMO for CV to really start dominating is to offer a true integrated hardware bundle. Built to spec, supported by a single vendor. Once that happens, Symantec and EMC, watch out.
Nutanix vs VCE: Battle of the converged upstarts rages on
Oh yay, let's compare last years gear via a whitepaper and no hands on experience, to what I assume is current rev Nutanix hardware?
Why no comparison to VNX2, or even dare I say it ScaleIO? (I know, I know it's not part of VCE, but it's the closer storage platform to yours) Since it's VDI, you know EMC leads with XtremeIO right?
While you're at it, use actual hardware in a repeatable benchmark and not a whitepaper.
Lastly... is the cost of the hypervisor and support included into your TCO?
At the end of the day, find it impressive how startups are in terms of professionalism. I have two colleagues that work at Nutanix as SE's that are good people, that wouldn't stoop to this marketing rubbish.
Security stock slinger Symantec speeds up with latest Backup Exec
Odds are they are using deduplication to achieve this, maybe even borrowing from NBU with their Accelerator technology. So the speed improvements of 100% are not unreasonable, but at the same time, this is in certain datasets with low change rates of a certain data type.. So really, it applies to no one but their own labs.
So many people have suffered with BE 12, 12.5, 2010, R1, R2, R3, 2012, etc... That not many people left have that much faith in Symantec, let alone BackupExec anymore.
It's always been an SMB product, and has always been artificially crippled so as to not step on the toes of NetBackup. Only time will tell. Odds are, based on past performance of their products, you wont get anything stable and working till at least R2 of the release. So let's see an update to this article in 2016...
Storage faithful tremble as Gartner mages prep flashy array quadrant
Re: I find it a bit...
Though, the traditional arrays that add flash, or are all flash, are at a huge disadvantage against native AFA's. Usually lacking in say for example inline dedupe and compression, that most AFA's already have natively.
Most of the traditional arrays that can be sold as an AFA config, are for certain use cases, that often are not the same as a native AFA.
That said, I think if it were to include them, they would be ranked way low, or bring down the overall ranking.
Life in the FAS lane: We reveal NetApp's four new flash-disk arrays
NetApp's idea of a "None of these have a full unified architecture according to NetApp." Is a joke. Nothing more than marketing spin.
Yes OnTap is a unified OS. However, if another unified device provides file and block, even if there are two OS's, but use a central management console, who cares? Does it meet the business requirements? Is it reliable?
EMC ships '17PB' of biz flash, brags it's NAND numero uno ... That's cute, grins HDS
Re: 17TB ??
Wishful thinking on your part. Did you get hurt by a bad sales rep? Thats about the majority of the reason folks hate EMC.
When they lead the world in overall global storage shipments, not to mention some other lines of business like backup appliances, etc... It'll be hard to rock that boat for the foreseeable future.
GULP. Veeam adds thousands of accounts. It must be eating SOMEONE'S lunch
Cheap and easy
For an SMB that is near 100% virtualized, Veeam is cheap. I have no qualms moving away from the traditional apps to something like Veeam or vRanger, etc... I've recommended it for years now.
Many folks that have segregated IT groups, where the VM Admin wants Veeam for his stuff, and forces the Backup Admin to just sweep up his files using their normal backup app to presumably move to tape as needed.
Are they landing any large $100k+ deals? What's their average deal size?
Cisco reps flog Whiptail's Invicta arrays against EMC and Pure
What does this statement mean? "continue to lack high-end features for Oracle and VMware environments that are only available on Simpana."
Which features? From a VMWare standpoint, I'm a bit shocked seeing as how EMC owns a significant stake in VMware, VDP is Avamar, and EMC sales tout the vmware features of avamar 7 and Legato/Networker 8.1
As for Oracle, integrate with RMAN, do backup, get dedupe. What else is needed?
C'mon, Commvault: You have the tech to build VM mutants...
Re: How realistic is this in the realworld?
LOL. Avamar was doing this circa 2001 or so, you are very incorrect. This is way before Commvault was even a name in the enterprise. Avamar to this day still has the best client-side dedupe performance in the market I've seen against various platforms. It's just cost prohibitive.
An appliance is purpose built for a limited task at hand. Purpose built, and purpose tuned. That cannot be said for Commvault, backupexec, TSM, etc. When PureDisk was around is was a cluster *** to get support, due to all the finger pointing on your own hardware, HBA's, multi-pathing software, etc. Commvault is no different.
How realistic is this in the realworld?
I can't see this feature being rolled out that widespread, without a lot of x86 servers and fast storage to make it happen.
Commvault already needs pretty beefy servers as is (They are not an appliance vendor like EMC) so all processing is done in the MediaAgent typically. e.g. PCI Flash, 15k disk, 32+GB of RAM, etc.
Now you want to take a backup, and then perform an automated P2V, and DASHCopy it? How much more compute is needed to do that in a reasonable amount of time, let alone how many concurrent ones can you do?
Since you're creating an entirely new dataset/stream, how efficient can DASHCopy even be? I fear the bandwidth needed in the manual will say "Dark Fiber required to remote site."
On paper this sounds great. Architecturally (Let alone in a tight RTO), sounds like a nightmare.
Storage heaven or hell: What's it like in your world?
There was a push back in the day for centralized management, and centralized this and that. However, we've gotten more and more complicated if anything with point products.
Take EMC for example. RecoverPoint, Avamar, Networker, DataDomain, DPA, All great products in their own regard. Together, a nightmare to manage by a single per or two. There are dashboards to link some of these products together, but they are dashboards, not management tools.
Symantec is another. Endpoint protection, endpoint encryption, manage it with Altiris (Or whatever they are calling it these days). Then there is DLP and a few other Security products they offer. BackupExec, NetBackup, EnterpriseVault, Storage Foundation. No common UI to offer concurrency between products...
CA, IBM, etc... The list goes on and on.
The flipside is that you buy into a Nimble, Compellent or NetApp array that claims to do it all. Then realize you bought a jack of all trades, master of none.
Big Yellow loses its head... again: Symantec, we need to talk
Re: I can help them out...
Pretty much this.
EMC: We've stomped out VNX2 reboot issue
Avamar had an issue like this, but more so related to it's Linux OS. Pretty much had to do a reboot each year, until the appropriate patches were installed. A few other EMC products, also running under linux had this issue.
Luckily for EMC, they are aware of which systems and customer are affected, and were proactive about the fix.
This one though, a bit more extreme at only 80 days. Seems like QA as of late is taking a dump here. This with the avamar/datadomain issues, what a pain in the arse.
Let... the SAN shine: 2013 – the year of virtual storage area networks
I didn't see a mention of vSpex or FlexPod? Both allow a customer to use commodity servers, infrastructure, and templates for storage; and build out a reference architecture without the VCE like premium you say costs a few virgins...
It'll still use the big iron of a VNX or FAS filer, but you have a reference template to build off of that is known to work and can save you a bit of money if you don't need converged support.
Violin Memory is winning flash-supply race – Quadragon™ rivals
How is EMC in there as "In use?" It's not even available for sale yet. Unless we're talking an all flash VNX, or flash in the VNX/VMAX?
Look out, Gartner: Behold the El Reg all-Flash Quadragon™ wonder map-o-graphic
I think from this reading, it's basically a 3-way tie for the most part, Violin, Pure, and the potential for EMC to make a move.
I know of some EMC demo boxes out in the wild, and I'll leave it at that. I know of a LOT of EMC folks moving over to Pure from the sales and SE side of things.
All EMC needs to do is actually hurry up with a product. Pure is getting the sales team together, from EMC, and needs to get some big wins, and marquee customers. As for Violin, I have yet to see them in my patch of the woods.
Interesting how you would compare a VNX to XtremeIO, when they have nothing in common... Nothing.
Don't bother competing with ViPR, NetApp - it's not actually that relevant
I don't see how in the world NetApp thinks ONTAP can do what they want under a single OS. The thought of all these new features being bolted on, patched in, etc; onto an existing platform is a recipe for disaster IMO. It won't perform, won't scale, wont be easy to manage.
There is a reason Isilon is so good at what they do. There is also a reason VMAX/Symmetrix, HDS VSP, HP 3Par, etc are so good at what they do; with purpose built technologies. The thought that a single set of controllers will do all of tasks mentioned under ONTAP, as a single point of failure (like how they try to sell me on using snapshots for backups) It just scares me, and should anyone listening to their fodder.
CommVault gives Simpana the share 'n' sync treatment
EMC has a dropbox competitor, it's called Syncplicity. It works with isilon or atmos and soon im told vnx
Icahn doubles down on Dell offer with $14 per share buyback scheme
Going private is needed for Dell
For Dell to survive, they have to go private. It'll allow them to burn through a lot of middle management, shake up the company in terms of products and focus, and generally not be a loss leader anymore.
If sold to Icahn, there will be a payout to investors like himself, higher than what would be received by going private. The company would be put into more debt, and the company continue their downward spiral and will fail. Pieces of the business sold off and massive layoffs. More so then simply a management shake-up from going private.
So on one hand both scenarios get a payout to investors. However the greedy folks always want more. But only one of them will not involve taking on more debt to pay shareholders.
No one ever got fired for buying enterprise storage, right?
Symantec has been selling Storage Foundation for a decade if not more. They have had a very TIGHT compatibility list of what hardware to use from storage to HBA's to servers. They say "buy commodity hardware, use our software." Well it sucks and can be plagued with a lot of fingerpointing from various vendors. e.g. too slow of disk, wrong HBA driver/firmware, Multipathing issues, etc. This mantra has been used in PureDIsk, NetBackup, etc too. There are other vendors like FreeNas and the like that offer this as well.
What is predicted in this article is years and years off. It's been done for years, but getting it right has never been possible. This is why the HDS, EMC's, and Netapps of the world continue to operate and work. Because their wares have proven themselves. Sure a startup will spin a compelling story, but for what? Some budget conscious admin that likes to be on the bleeding edge? Yeah good luck with that.
Dell's Compellent beats Isilon with 85 per cent fewer nodes
How does a benchmark on a system 2+yrs ago, a few models older, a few generations of OneFS older; to a system with an unreleased OS, on a apples to Oranges disk subsystem?
And how relevant or realistic is this benchmark at all? It's bragging rights, but no one builds a system to match this benchmark workload.
I much prefer $.00 per IOP. And not node count or disk config or max IOP's in a synthetic benchmark.
Dell crams baby small-biz data center into a tower chassis
This is great!
I think this is a great idea, that more vendors should have created and marketed. The first pic in the article is so true in so many SMB's.
VMware sells off Shavlik patch management tools to LANDesk
LANDesk - Great product, poor management
A lot of mid and upper level managers completely ruin the potential that LANDesk has. The "Red-sweater," club as they are known as they are former Novell Employees, and boastful of that. (Not sure why IMO).
That said, it's a great product, that doesn't require much infrastructure, but poor management execution and limited vision and focus has kept them at the desktop level and out of the datacenter where the real money is.
EMC2 is now EMC II, too
While I've heard "Evil Machine Company," They really are not that way anymore, that's legacy EMC. Where sales reps would strong arm customers for PO's.
Now it's more like "Everything More Complicated," or "Everything More Costly."
Storage fan seeks 'mature' cash cow for 'something more'
You sure about that?
I'm VERY sure there are different sizes of VMAX like the 10k, 20k, etc. I think there is also a specific MSP version as well. The 10k and 20k can come close in price to the VNX 7500 depending on how the discounting is applied. VMAX they can go deeper on the cuts I believe.
Also EMC World will have something new for the VNX... At least that is what the sales reps are saying.
Symantec to offload Altiris: report
Good riddance
The only folks that liked the product were the Symantec SE's that were fed the kool-aid. Well that and some of the original customers where they still had a fantastic server and desktop backup tool, that got deprecated in favor of Ghost and BackupExec, what a joke and huge step down in functionality.
The product was overly complex, required a lot of server hardware, invasive on the desktop, and very slow to adopt new OS's from MS (It took more than 2yrs to support Win2k8). Then to make matters worse, Symantec was pushing it to all their AV customers and BackupExec installs. Saying that Altiris is the best way to deploy software. NO THANK YOU and good riddance!
NetApp insists it won't drop StorageGRID
Incorrect facts
EMC has ATMOS for object store. As I've been told by sales reps, object store in isilon isn't going to happen anymore, due to ATMOS.
VMware adds EMC daddy's deduping backup to vSphere
Re: Good news for SME's
VMware had a backup product before, it was terrible. This new iteration is the replacement. I don't see how VMware is charging anything more than what it did before?
That said, this is also a stripped down version in terms of functionality, so I see this as mainly an SMB play only No replication, no tape out, fixed size, etc... Basically not a fit for SME/Enterprise at all, exactly where the full blown Avamar product plays. Avamar was NEVER an SMB product for obvious reasons...
Tape juggler gets BILLION FILE capacity
Find out the market share of GPFS vs StorNext.. StorNext had the mass market appeal and OS support that others didn't. Probably cheaper and easier to use than anything IBM!
Ultimately StorNext is a good product, still in use in a lot of multimedia based shops from broadcasting to game design, movie production, etc.. Slowly though, large scalable NAS systems like Isilon and others are slowly chipping away at their past dominance.
Add to that Quantum's die'ing business in the form of the DXi and tape. They should split StorNext off into it's own business IMO. It's the only one good product they have left.
EMC unveils new Networker tool, thrusts it into clouds
Re: Err...
No it hasn't. Though they were slowly bringing it together in NMM2.2-2.3... As an example, prior to NMM2.4, folks still had to use NMSQL for certain SQL maintenance tasks during the backup.
With NMM2.4, no longer. The code is merged.
Overland patent broadside: Targeted firms vow to fight
For years Overland was in dire need of a cash boost. Their products were never that great, just average. Is this how they'll get their much needed cash? through royalties?
Dell finally nabs Quest for $2.4bn
Lots of folks I work with on the West coast in the US use Quest software for SQL and Vmware. From performance monitoring (Toad), the all too common SQL backup tools (Litespeed), and vmware backup tools(vRanger).
This is a HUGE win for Dell. However, Dell's execution to merge products and do it in a timely matter will be the biggest obstacle for them to get over.
Fujitsu cracks 278-digit crypto
Can you imagine how the government uses super computers running racks and racks of thousands of CPU's and TB's of RAM, processing this data in a matter of minutes to seconds? Brings new meaning to "All your base belong to us."
HP doubles down with dedupe speed record
So BOOST and Catalyst are effectively the same in theory. But at what dedupe levels did HP use to calculate 100TB/hr?
Symantec does the same thing with their client-side dedupe, quoting that throughput assuming a 10-15X level of compression.
DataDomain on the other hand is not client direct (well in small cases it is) how about vendors just quote pure RAW ingest numbers?
What's on the cards at EMC's casino royale next week?
Tiering is a necessary evil for the next few years.
VMAX/VNX/Clarion all have their place in storage and with their tiering. FAST, FASTVP, VFCache, etc are all cool tech, and necessary too.
EMC does have a "hadoop," like storage and that comes in the form of Isilon and Atmos. Each with respective use cases.
I think you got angry at something EMC did a whiles back and never looked back, all the while EMC has surpassed most big players in the market without you even realizing it with your short-sightedness. Now once the costs of MLC/SLC goes down and reliability up an order of magnitude, we'll have some interesting stuff for storage. But from a general sense, EMC's product line is pretty darn good, if not expensive at times. But no one faults IBM for that, it's just par for the course ;-)
Did EMC buy Xtremio to fend off NetApp
A financial analyst at an investment bank, making deep technical analysis on products he's never managed in his life. Where do I sign up for his newsletter, he sounds uber smart.
I see no way in hell this is an accurate assessment of technology.
Oracle RMAN straps on rocket, hands admins launch button
All you need is BOOST licensed to get this to work. Of course BOOST can cost a bit on the larger DD boxes. Then you download a plugin on the my.datadomain.com site.
But BOOST is/was already in other pieces of EMC's stack with Networker and integration with Symantec. It can accelerate SQL, Exchange backups directly to DD without touching the media server. Pretty slick.
OCZ out-flashes EMC's Lightning
At the end of the day, looking at the actual data in use at the block and segment level... Does it really matter that you have 500GB, 1TB, or 16TB? No it does not. Only small tidbits of data need caching solutions from a majority view of the market. Sure there is a need in very select few datasets and customers that may need a large high IOP solution, but boasting about 16TB means nothing to the educated storage admin.
It's proper data management, and granular tiering solutions that are needed. The hardware is already here, we need the software to catch up.
Lightning crashes: How to manage server flash caches
Premature don't you think?
Seeing as how the VNX has some of the latest Xeon processor technology, you allude to there being a CPU bottleneck. If you were talking CX, I would believe you, but the VNX less so.
That said, your analysis is flawed in that EMC is typically very tight lipped about products until their release date, so your article is all conjecture and assumption till otherwise noted.
Dell sprays hot fluid data across storage products
Poor comparisons of competing products
How is the Dell Dedupe box compared to the lowest end EMC DD160? Perhaps from a throughput standpoint, the cheapest DD box can meet or beat it, but from a capacity standpoint, you have to go to a 600 series box. And then, everything is better on the 600 series box in terms of performance, boost or not.
Add to that OST/BOOST is not a Symantec only technology. You better check your sources on that. Look at what EMC is doing with OST/BOOST in their own product lines.
Though I see a lot of clueless SMB's buying these boxes for cost alone and will be happy with their 5:1 dedupe rates. Poor souls.
What you can do to enforce endpoint security
I've sold a lot of Symantec Endpoint Protection and its NAC capabilities. What made the product standout, was a great administrator that could make sense of the policy capabilities. It's a very good product when configured right. Sadly 80% of installs are done by hacks that are bloody fools thinking they know it all and "it's just AV, how hard can it be?" mentality....
Now I work for a company that standardized on McAfee and ePO, and I noticed a few things I can't do like install CCleaner. It gets wiped within seconds of install. Due to it having a secure erase function. This I found by looking through the logs and registry keys of the app.
The hardest part is that no single product is good enough, and often, multiple products must be used to apply a solid endpoint management and data protection strategy (You see two disparate markets)
You've got desktop management products, AV products, disk encryption, and data management/access/protection products. No single vendor can combine them into a single product, nor would one want to! That is just a mess of complications and agents.
At the end of the day, Security Officers will say you need X/Y/Z feature, and have a list of all required features. But the reality is that, <insert regulatory requirement here> probably only needs 30% that, but it's poor comprehension, or overzealous fools that buy the kitchen sink, and only deploy the part of it.
Side note, complaining of 25Minute boot times? Where are we 1995? Seriously, get modern hardware, software, and updated applications. My guess is that you run 2 versions back on your AV software, still on XP, on a PII machine with 256MB RAM.
RIM hopes to distract punters with free pretties
Why pick on just RIM?
When iCloud went down momentarily as the new iPhone 4S was being released, no one cried foul. What is the "jesus phone," from Apple immune from criticism? When or if iMessage goes down, I'm sure no one will think twice about it.
As for comments about a "crappy network," that RIM uses for their cloud infrastructure. I'd bet the farm that their core switching costs probably cost more than you'll make in 10 years. Networking is not cheap, let alone one that sees the traffic they do based on their business model. Did you think it was hosted on Linksys gear?
What people are angry about is not the outage. This was just another "nail in the coffin, " so to speak. What people want is more modern phones, more multimedia features, shiny new stuff. Instead, RIM completely missed the boat; focusing on the Enterprise first, and consumer after. Add in outages, a failed tablet launch, very slow OS upgrades, carrier restrictions... You've got a company that has lost focus, consumer demand, and brand loyalty. Remember when Nokia was huge back in the late 90's and early 2000's? They are virtually non-existent these days, or at least not a contender in the pecking order of phone choices.
While I use a BB, It's now a 2+ year old model, it's showing its age. It however serves its purpose as a corporate phone with it's 2nd to none security measures in place. Though, first chance I get I'll probably be moving to an Android model if RIM doesn't do something to entice me with new models and features.
Symantec dips toe into hardware water
Author is a bit misinformed
Symantec already has a couple of appliances, has had them for a few months. A NetBackup 5000 and a NetBackup 5200. The 5000 has been out for months. The 5000 is a PureDisk Dedupe box, supporting up to 16TB of deduped data, and the 5200 is a Netbackup media server supporting up to 32TB of deduped data. Bot are fully populated, xeon powered boxes with lots of SATA based disk, and RAM in a rack mount box.

On Monday, we'll visit The Amana Colonies, founded in 1854 when the True Inspirationists, a group of several hundred German, Alsatian, and Swiss believers, fled Europe to pursue religious freedom in America. The first settlement was in Ebenezer, New York. Due to the ever expanding city of Buffalo, and needing more land, a search party was sent west. They purchased 25,000 acres of prime Iowa prairie, settling the village of Amana first. Before long, five other quaint, self-supporting villages were founded to utilize the bountiful resources along the Iowa River. Lunch will be at The Ox Yoke Inn® restaurant, an "Amana Colonies Tradition Since 1940," the foods are Amana style, with an American variation of German food. The Ox Yoke Inn's® main building was built in 1856 and was once a community kitchen. Here workers from the Amana Colonies farms would come to enjoy Old World style meals, freshly prepared with great bowls of salads, potatoes, gravy, vegetables, and breads, passing platters of beef, pork, and chicken around the dining table.
Lunch will start our Monday visit there, dining on Amana ham, Sauerbraten (tender slices of roast beef deeply marinated in a special sauce topped with tangy gravy) and fried chicken, along with salads, vegetables, breads, beverages, served "Family Style", and rhubarb custard pie with streusel topping for dessert. After our visit to the Amana Colonies, we will travel to Coral City, IA, to check-in at the Hampton Inn (Tuesday breakfast at the hotel), with Monday dinner at River City
Beefstro Bar & Grill on-site.
On Tuesday we'll visit the Old Capitol Museum in Iowa City which has served Iowa as a seat of government and education. It has become a symbol of pride and excellence for The University of Iowa, Iowa City and the state. When Old Capitol's cornerstone was laid on Independence Day in 1840, Iowa City became the second seat of government, where the last four Iowa territorial legislatures met. In Old Capitol, Iowa made the transition to statehood. Here, the first governor was inaugurated, the first six Iowa general assemblies met,
and the state's constitution -still the fundamental law of Iowa - was drafted. When the state government moved to Des Moines in 1857, Old Capitol was deeded to The University of Iowa and became the first building owned by the University. The UI's charter was made official by the First Iowa General Assembly in 1847 in Old Capitol, just 59 days after Iowa's admission to statehood. The University opened its doors to students in March 1855, conducting classes in a rented building. Since 1857 Old Capitol has been a focal point of the University, serving as library, chapel, armory, and providing space for classrooms and offices as the University grew. Today, it continues to serve both functionally and symbolically, housing the museum and highlighting the University's progress.
We'll then have lunch at One Twenty Six in downtown Iowa
City before heading to the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum in West Branch, IA.
The Hoover Library & Museum enables visitors to experience for themselves the many sides of Iowa's only president. The permanent galleries begin with Hoover's boyhood in Iowa and continue on to the Waldorf Towers in New York where he spent the final years of his life. The Quarton Gallery offers exciting temporary exhibits relating to American history. In the Hoover Library people of all ages can learn about President Hoover's life and career. The Hoover Museum sits on the grounds of the Herbert Hoover National Historic Site where visitors can tour: Mr. Hoover's birthplace cottage, a blacksmith shop, Quaker Meeting house, school house and the gravesite of Mr. and Mrs. Hoover. We'll then depart for home, returning at approximately 7 p.m.

Jim and Jan Gallagher will share one of their latest trips, a three-week vacation in the Pacific Northwest. They flew to Calgary and spent a week in the Banff area, then took a wonderful trip through the Canadian Rockies by train to the Pacific Port of Prince Rupert, then by ferry down the Inside Passage to Vancouver Island, and then rented a car to explore Vancouver Island (and flew home from there). By using mostly public transportation (as opposed to private trains and cruise boats) they were able to do the three weeks fairly economically and comfortably.

Great costume but I had to return it. I purchased a large for my border collie but it was too small. It would fit a dog no more than 40 lbs. But they made my return easy.

Not in My Day Sir
Cricketing Letters to the Daily Telegraph
Not available
The Telegraph has always been sports fans' paper of choice, and its wonderful Letters page a forum for trenchant debate and robust wit. This first collection of the finest letters written to the paper over the years ranges from Bodyline to helmets, swing bowling to sunglasses. SIR-I don't see why batsmen today accept being confronted by bowlers wearing gold necklaces and particularly sunglasses. When I played cricket no jewellery was worn. As batsmen, we liked to see the colour of the bowlers' eyes. Would an umpire uphold my complaint today if I refused to face a bowler so adorned? D.J.W., Evesham. SIR -- As one who has seen leadership under pressure at all levels, I would like to add my congratulations to Andrew Strauss. When he took over, English cricket was in crisis; he gave it inspiration and intelligent tactical direction...He had some luck running for him at the Oval but as Napoleon observed: "Give me a lucky general."

The Timber Creek football program may have made its best play before the spring football game even started.Prior to the intrasquad game just over a week ago, the Falcons gathered together to recognize a freshman player who never got into a game this past season.But the encased and autographed football presented to Joseph Pina, grouped with the freshman team photo, may exemplify more about teamwork than the team learned during the course of the season.Pina, 15, had to divert his attention from football practices and games to battle two forms of cancer.During his routine physical prior to participation last summer, Pina was told he may have varioceles, an enlargement of the veins within the scrotum, similar to a varicose vein found in the leg. The physicians said it was benign enough that Pina could continue with football and deal with treatment later.But prior to the first game of the football season, Pina sustained a spiral fracture of a finger and had to sit out. That fortuitous break allowed an opportunity to address the other medical issue.As the medical treatment ensued, it was learned Pina also had Rhabdomyosarcoma, or RMS, a type of cancer of connective tissues. Pina recounted the day he discovered his right testicle felt rock-like and not normal. He has a close relationship with his mother, Sally Graham, but he debated over the course of the next few hours, as to whether he could bring himself to tell his mother about it."I didn't know whether to tell my mom or not," Pina said of the normally difficult subject matter for a teenage boy. "Do I tell her, or don't I?"The ability to talk openly may have saved his life."We went to the doctor and I asked him, 'Is it cancer?' I think it is," Pina said prior to the urologist even responding.In fact, it was a germ cell tumor and Pina's testicle was removed.The occurrence of two rare cancers in such a young patient at the same time are beyond comprehension, said Graham.Pina is now into his fifth week of his 14th regimen of chemotherapy and has his good days and his bad days. Each round of chemo seems to cause varied reactions in Pina, which he battles head-on with great courage and an up-beat disposition.The ability to have teammates support him in his journey have been invaluable, Pina said. Graham also notes the "bros" have been with him all along the way and don't let Pina act like a cancer patient.Jacob Knipping and Kyle Williams "don't give him any sympathy," said Pina's mother.Pina said he has no "poor me" mentality and knows that "God has his back."Another example of what the family sees as God's guidance was using a delay in starting chemotherapy as an opportunity for Pina being able to have sperm frozen for future use, as he wants to be a father someday.Pina has had to be home-schooled to keep up with his studies, but finds a few days each week to get up to Timber Creek to see his classmates.The separation from his friends and teammates made the presentation prior to the spring game even more appreciated."It was supposed to be a surprise," Pina said, but his friends couldn't help but point out the encased football with some 200 signatures before the event. "I was also able to break the group," Pina said, using the phrase "Family" to disperse the huddled team prior to the scrimmage.Pina has hopes of getting back into MAC (Make a Champion) Camp to get back on track in his conditioning during the summer, should he feel up to it. Those wishing to keep up with Pina, can access the Facebook page, "Prayers for Joe Pina."

Region: St. Paul (Downtown)
Want to pretend to be part of the Victorian era before returning safely to the present? This holiday season you have the opportunity to do just that. The Alexander Ramsey House was designed by Monroe Sheire, an architect who crafted homes for elite St. Paul families, most of whom are now long gone. The house was donated to the Minnesota Historical Society—along with family letters, photos, and the original furnishings—by Laura and Anita Ramsey, two sisters who never married. At these special events, you'll be able to step into their world during an hour-long tour of the house featuring five different guides, all in period costume. "They get to play parlor games and open presents. So they're not just taking a tour; they're experiencing a Victorian Christmas," says site manager Cindy Olsen. Folks are especially in character in the kitchen, as the Ramseys had many servants. They will be making cookies with one of Mrs. Anna Ramsey's recipes in the wood-burning stove. The house is closed Christmas Day. (Image courtesy of the Minnesota Historical Society)
Wednesdays-Saturdays, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.; Sundays, 12-3 p.m. Starts: Dec. 1. Continues through Jan. 1, 2011

We were hanging out at one of Ramon's parties; when we found him on the side of his house, having a slip n slide threesome with Sophie and Ahryan. Sophie had a set of big boobs and green eyes that could hypnotize you, while Ahryan had a big ass that looked amazing bouncing up and down on his cock. It didn't take long before they were taking turns riding his dick, getting their pussies fingered, and licked. They even took playing with their furburbers in the sprinklers and getting their mouths filled with his man juice.
Serena is a tattooed blonde, with hair down past her big-o-booty. Watching her ass wiggle while she rides his cock, will have you hypnotized for days. This curvy babe can suck down a cock, just as good as she can ride one. She can even take DP in the back door. That's right; she loves anal and she swallows up the whole cock in her tight booty hole.

Rachel Star does it again… This babe is simply amazing, with her curvaceous body and silky smooth skin. She is a dime piece, freak that enjoys nothing more then getting dick down.

They take turns getting their twats filled, with a one eyed snake while teasing one another. The give him a lickable titty fuck, he is sure to remember.
Phoenix Marie loves nothing more then being photographed. She's always plotting up some new twist; so we weren't surprised, when she invited us out her camping site. She was wearing the sexiest camping outfit, we'd ever seen. She taunts and teases us, as she flashes her huge tits and ass as she poses for the camera. What she didn't know was we had a surprise of our own; Billy. He showed up just in time, cause her pussy was nice and ripe and in need of an eatin. She wolfed down his sausage, and led him dick in hand back to her tent. She mounted his face for a sweet taste then got her love box filled with his meaty surprise.

Top 10 {beginning of the year edition}Sunday, January 10, 2010
I didn't mean to start off 2010 without blogging. The start of this year has been insanely busy and I just haven't had a spare moment to do much of anything. Here is my top 10 for the beginning of 2010.
Also, I needed to take Christmas down, so I just threw this banner up there. I am hoping for something a little more winter{ish}, but just don't have time. And really -- it's always 70 degrees and sunny in LA anyway, so I guess this is fitting, for now...
10. At the beginning of last week, I was told that I could open up shop at Scrap Matters. I didn't want to wait, and stayed up very, very late working on previews, uploading my files to the site FTP, and setting up my shop {you need to upload previews and set up your shopping cart}.
It involved staying up until 4 or 5 am a few times, but so worth it! Between this and blog design, I have been extremely busy. Everyone at SM has been so sweet to me. So, you can now find me at Polka Dot Plum and Scrap Matters!
9. On New Year's Day, my sister and Angela came over to J's. We played Apples to Apples, they all talked about football, and I made a delicious pasta salad.
Here is the recipe.
1 (1lb) box of pasta. I prefer whole wheat (no surprise there) but the 3 color curly one looks prettier, so I used that.
1 cup Newman's Italian dressing
1 container fresh mozzarella balls
Spinach leaves
Chopped celery
Boil pasta, and let it cool down.
Add 1 cup dressing, mozzarella, some spinach leaves, and chopped celery. That's really it. Very, very easy, and a nice, light meal. It was recommended that you let it marinate for a bit, although I only let it sit an hour or two before everyone at it. I loved it, and made it again last week.
8. On January 6th, we celebrated my mom's birthday.
7. I started project 365. If you don't know what this is, I'll explain. You take one photograph every day for one year. Lots of people are doing a blog post every day to document each photo.
You can click the image below to visit my 365 blog. It has been really fun so far, so let's hope I can keep up with it. Is anyone else doing project 365?
6. I redesigned my site, and have been working on my wait list. This look is very clean/simple and graphic. I think I love it.
5. I started physical therapy for the car accident that I was in before I left for my big trip. I've been so busy that I hadn't had a chance to go until last week.
4. I've been working out. I went Saturday-Tuesday, then had a hair appointment Wednesday, and spent all of Thurs-Friday working on my shop at SM. Still -- I am very serious about my workouts. I cannot wait to get the ok to go back to spinning, rowing, and yoga!
3. I spent Saturday with J's parents and his sister {and her family}. We had a great time. The kids are so sweet. I especially love his niece {she's 4}. We discussed lots of girly things, & looked at photos and played on my iPhone. She wants me to bring my cat to her house. ;)
2. Brothers and Sisters & Housewives came back, and Big Love comes back tonight! Can't wait. But if you know me at all, you know that I really can't wait for Weeds. The only clue we have is that it returns in 2010. I am hopeful it will be back by this summer, but hopefully sooner.
Remember -- I watch quite a bit of TV, but Weeds is my favorite show. I think the fact that I speak so highly of Weeds means that you should all be watching it. You'll thank me. I promise.
1. I am bringing back Fab Fridays, only now, they'll be hosted on my design blog. If you have any great Fab Friday topics, please let me know!
And if everything else hasn't kept me busy enough, these four monsters sure do take up a lot of time. ;)
He has also not lost his obsession with licking my face in the middle of the night. Such a creepy little weirdo. That's what I get for naming him after a serial killer ;)

I Love weeds!! and I seriously have to try that pasta salad.ReplyDelete
We don't have Showtime but we Netflix Weeds & Dexter. We do have HBO and I'm really excited about Big Love being back on. We'll probably watch it tonight on demand. I think I love TV just as much as you! It's been an especially cozy TV weekend with our freezing Florida weather!ReplyDelete
i NEED to make that pasta salad. i just got home from the gym and it's making me hungry. i'm going to bed.ReplyDelete
Congrats on getting your kits added to Scrap Matters! That is fantastic. The pasta salad that you made looks delicious and I may need to try that. I also wanted to wish your mom Happy (belated) Birthday!ReplyDelete
Good for you for working out so much. I need to get back into some sort of routine.
That's great you got to spend some time with J and his family. I may need to get into Weeds now that I'm going through Dexter withdraw.
The photo of all the animals is really cute!

Sub Pop Rock City Lyrics - Soundgarden
(spoken: I wish I knew how to dance,
Just leave it Kim)
I'm not stoned but I wanted to tell ya
When i'm in the mood, I could think of playing there
Going to Seattle where the rock's so heavy
With all them sex dogs in my Chevy
At the extacy party, everybody look at me
Cool, give it dude, we're plastic like you
Going to the show that rocks all night
and everyone I hate is at the party tonight

Week 4 Day 1 today.....impatient for Onederland
I've been stuck at 200 for the last 3 days and it's driving me crazy!! :annoyed:And I'm really struggling with carb cravings this week, especially at breakfast. Tired of eggs and meat. :eggs: I want to try some of the breakfast recipes but I'll have to find those ingredients somewhere....not easy to find where I am so I may have to order online.
So in a few days I'm going to Disney (cruise plus resort) for a week and a half. I'm a bit terrified :eek: because I don't want to gain, would feel proud to maintain, but secretly want to lose. I have a prepaid Disney Dining Deluxe Pass which gives two snacks and three meals a day (it was purchased for me so I at least don't feel like I have to get MY money's worth out of it). The meals include Appetizer, Entree, AND dessert!! :stars: I've been printing out menus like crazy to try to prepare. I do plan on a few indulgences, but am trying to choose wisely the majority of the time (and I mean like 90% of the rest of the time!). But I am worried about losing control.
We are driving many many hours to get there. Any tips on eating clean while driving long distances? :confused:
Cricket often on cruises they have special menus for a variety of dietary needs. I found out on my last cruise I have multiple food allergies they. Met with me each night to help ne find the hidden mushrooms. And seafood. As for eating on the road, I travel. Much of the day for work so my lunch is eaten on the road. Turkey. Pepperonni. I like that I can nibble as I drive and depending what brand you get up to17 for 70 calories.low fat cheese sticks are my go to when Ic cant make 500 calories. For the. Cruise take the stairs if you can there is always a line for the elevators. My legs are at there best after a cruise. Wonderland will come. I made it this week! I started to think I was going to stay @ 200. Enjoy yourself!!!
BTW, I happen to love the Medi PB bars as a snack on the go. Perhaps you can bring those along on the road trip.
P.S. Snickers, congrats on Onederland, that is Onederful!!!!
I would suggest making yourself a cheat sheet for when you go eat. Include which are the low carb veggies and fruits, how much equals one serving, and the number of calories. I got a couple of handouts like this from the center when I first started, but I would narrow it down to the things you are most likely to eat so it will be easy to refer to.
They also have charts you can google that show a comparison for serving/portion size, like a serving of chicken should look the same size as a deck of cards, or a cup of broccoli is the size of your fist. I use those a lot when I'm eating out.
Also, you could plan ahead, in general tearms, what you're going to eat. For example - one lean meat, salad, one low carb veggie, berries for dessert, (or something like that). And it wouldn't hurt to decide ahead of time how many calories are alloted for each meal.
But the most important thing is to log everything you eat, preferably before you eat it. It will make you think twice before you overindulge. Sometimes I will sit there with my food in front of me while I write it down and calculate how many calories it's going to be, and I won't let myself begin eating until I'm done.
I hope this helps. And remember, even if you mess up one day, that doesn't mean to just throw in the towel. Every little bit helps, and every time you maintain control, that's just one more fraction of a pound you will lose. It all adds up!
Cricketleg, I hear you! I am so excited to reach that 199 mark. It's just a matter of weeks now for me! You are doing great.
When I'm sick of eggs or meat, I do cottage cheese with a little SF raspberry preserves for breakfast. Quick and easy.
Disney cruises and resorts are known for being accommodating when it comes to special food requests. I really like CrazyCatLady's suggestion of continuing to write down every bite, even if you're on vacation.
When driving long distances, I pack a small cooler with turkey roll-ups, string cheese, hardboiled eggs (I just eat the whites), and as much water as I can fit. I don't go anywhere without protein bars, either.
Can't wait to hear about your vacation, the warm weather, and your successes! I hope you have the most wonderful time.
Good luck with this, Cricket! I'm sure you can do it. And I think CatLady's advice is really good: don't throw in the towel just because you overindulge. Each meal is a new opportunity. I also think snickers made a great point: just keep getting in the exercise. Maybe wear a pedometer so you're sure to get in lots of steps (is it supposed to be something like 10,000 a day?). If you can keep up with the exercise and do your best with the eating, then you will hopefully be good to go!
Still waiting.....stuck at 200 for 6 days straight. It's funny that my body would pick 200. Body, why not 199.8? I mean, come on! ;)
I know it's easier said than done, but try not to weigh yourself every day. Once a week at most. You might try putting the scales up on the top shelf of a closet so it takes some effort to get to, then you won't be tempted to hop on it every time you see it. That way you can just concentrate on what you're doing rather than stressing about not losing. :-) You WILL get there, and onederland is a wonderful thing!
Well, I should have read the other posts, you've already hit onederland, and you've already discussed weighing daily. So never mind! LOL!

He only is my rock and my salvation;
He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved. Psalm 62:2 (NKJV).
We are so blessed. We must reclaim our blessing! If we believe in Christ and have made a commitment to do right, God's blessing belongs to us. However, we must continue to speak His Word everyday, we have to speak positive (Proverbs 18:21) and have Godly character in order to partake of the blessing (Ephesians 1:3).
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:32

I recently returned to wow (somewhat casually). I have been thinking of what spec I wanna focus on (on my paladin).
Anyways, I have been playing around with some Prot spec on my pally, and found some great instructional material.
I have always desired a tank, but one thing that has always got in the way is the stress of picking up all of the mobs etc. I usually find myself grinding my teeth throughout the instance (not good).
The thing that gets me is that I don't hate tanking, but I need advice on how to get over the teeth grinding stresses involved with tanking...
Does this improve over time?
approx how long until I can calmly tank an instance?
What advice would experienced tanks offer to help me in my quest of becoming a PPP (pro prot pally)?

Puestos a hacer una crítica tan corta...
Felt way more pretentious than the film, which I loved. I dunno, it's probably not aimed at me, but I didn't feel like I got anything out of this that I didn't get out of watching the film.
Before anything else, let me state that I did not watch the movie before I decided to read this book, so I wasn't sure of what I was expecting, so I think I can say that when I read this book, I was pretty open-minded regarding anything that could cross the story. When I was more or less in the middle of the book, I was starting to think that I had some kind of problem understanding what exactly was the point of this book. The story just didn't make any sense, it seemed like a series of random flashes of memory that the main character had. After I reached chapter 20, most of it started to make some sense, but when I finished the book, I had the feeling that it didn't really add much in my life. It has some very wise phrases, ok. In a subtle way, it says: "if you're doing something in your life that you don't like, stop spending time with that and go do something useful". And if that was the purpose of the book, I'm glad I was able to figure the message out. As for the Fight Club, the fact of it being there or not didn't really make much difference.
So my overall thoughts about this book? It is fast-paced. It doesn't seem to obey to a logical order. It's made of random facts and occurrences that don't seem to have any connection, but they end up coming up together at a certain point of the book. Not exactly my favorite style. I get the feeling that I'll enjoy the movie a lot more.
I came to this already knowing the plot twist – I suppose when a novel becomes famous...becomes a film, these things tend to leech out. It was still a good read – I like the way he structures the story, each chapter appearing to take you off at a tangent, but always leading you back to familiar ground in the end. There is a feeling, too, of danger and of infinite possibilities. You could never accuse it of being safe or predictable. If I hadn't known how it turns out, would I have guessed? Probably not.
I'll admit it. I only wanted to read this because I love the movie. I've had it in my mind to read for several months. Ever since I saw it at a bookstore, opened it randomly to a page, and read. For whatever reason, I didn't buy the book then, but yesterday I corrected that error.
The book was soooo good. Even knowing the big 'twist' that hits at the end (if you've seen the movie, you know what I'm talking about). In fact, I was able to read and find the evidence for it.
Wow. It was SOO good. Really good. I'm so happy that I finally bought it.
A volatile, brilliantly creepy satire filled with esoteric tips for causing destruction, Fight Club marks Chuck Palahniuk's debut as a novelist. Ever wonder how to pollute a plumbing system with red dye, or inject an ATM machine with axle grease or vanilla pudding? Along with instructions for executing such quirky acts of urban terrorism, Fight Club offers diabolically sharp and funny writing.
This brilliant bit of nihilism succeeds where so many self-described transgressive novels do not: It's dangerous because it's so compelling.
Every generation frightens and unnerves its parents, and Palahniuk's first novel is gen X's most articulate assault yet on baby-boomer sensibilities. This is a dark and disturbing book that dials directly into youthful angst and will likely horrify the parents of teens and twentysomethings. It's also a powerful, and possibly brilliant, first novel.
Caustic, outrageous, bleakly funny, violent and always unsettling, Palahniuk's utterly original creation will make even the most jaded reader sit up and take notice.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0393327345, Paperback)The only person who gets called Ballardesque more often than Chuck Palahniuk is, well... J.G. Ballard. So, does Portland, Oregon's "torchbearer for the nihilistic generation" deserve that kind of treatment? Yes and no. There is a resemblance between Fight Club and works such as Crash and Cocaine Nights in that both see the innocuous mundanities of everyday life as nothing more than the severely loosened cap on a seething underworld cauldron of unchecked impulse and social atrocity. Welcome to the present-day U.S. of A. As Ballard's characters get their jollies from staging automobile accidents, Palahniuk's yuppies unwind from a day at the office by organizing bloodsport rings and selling soap to fund anarchist overthrows. Let's just say that neither of these guys are going to be called in to do a Full House script rewrite any time soon.
But while the ingredients are the same, Ballard and Palahniuk bake at completely different temperatures. Unlike his British counterpart, who tends to cast his American protagonists in a chilly light, holding them close enough to dissect but far enough away to eliminate any possibility of kinship, Palahniuk isn't happy unless he's first-person front and center, completely entangled in the whole sordid mess. An intensely psychological novel that never runs the risk of becoming clinical, Fight Club is about both the dangers of loyalty and the dreaded weight of leadership, the desire to band together and the compulsion to head for the hills. In short, it's about the pride and horror of being an American, rendered in lethally swift prose. Fight Club's protagonist might occasionally become foggy about who he truly is (you'll see what I mean), but one thing is for certain: you're not likely to forget the book's author. Never mind Ballardesque. Palahniukian here we come! --Bob Michaels

Thanks, I had in fact moved them to caption and not to caption title. But now they look very small. How can I change the size of the caption ?October 9, 2013 at 4:01 pm in reply to: Add elements to the product category page #173088
Do you think it is possible to create a custom template with abundance and use it with woocommerce ?October 3, 2013 at 2:47 pm in reply to: putting no follow on social links + some footer links #169955
Hi Ismael, Hi Yigit,
I know how to use ftp, no problem. The problem is that I have the abundance Theme and not the Enfold one.
In the abundance theme I cannot find the helper-social-media.php in the theme/includes
it is made somewhere else. Could you please advise where ?
Best regards,

Slacker & Steve's Blog
by Slacker and Steve
posted Aug 7 2012 3:44PM
A guy in Tennessee spotted a photo of an unknown man on his girlfriend's Facebook page and "angrily demanded to know who the guy was." So… she told him: Mitt Romney. Apparently, he'd never heard of Mitt-- and went berserk. He allegedly grabbed her laptop out of her hands, bashed it into the wall, then punched her in the face. He was charged with domestic assault. No word on whether he found out who Mitt Romney was.
Slacker talks about a guy who kept saying to him, "Never forget that war in Powmia! I'll always remember Powmia," only to realize what he was talking about was POW/MIA...the acronym for "prisoner of war" and "missing in action." Steve tells the story of a guy who saw "Free Wi-Fi" signs all over and was wondering who this Wi-Fi guy was and why he needed to be freed! Slacker later confesses that when he was trying to get into college he put on a very prestigious engineering school's application that he was Native American...having it in his head that he was Native...to America (in his defense it was at a time when people started saying Colorado Native...hmm).
I think this is ridiculous...I mean he's a presidential candidate! You would have to be living under a rock not to at least recognize him as a figure in the media. But everyone has those moments! This may not measure up to most of the stories people shared today, but I was once in such a rush to not miss the previews at a movie (Spiderman 3...) that I was sprinting into the theatre and when I was almost to the end of that side hallway they have in movie theatres I face-plant into the carpet. My chin and elbow were bleeding through most of the film and to this day I still have a scar on my elbow from the fall...not my proudest moment...
What was your "I'm Such An Idiot" moment?
Until next time,
