I had a dream about my man last night
And my man came by the studio
And his name is...
[Hook: Q-Tip]
Busta Rhymes in effect
Shaheed is in effect
Phife Did-awg is in effect
Check it out and give me my 'spect
[Verse 1: Q-Tip]
I'm moving, yes I'm grooving cause my mouth is on the motor
Use the Coast in the morning to avoid the funky odor
Can't help being funky, I'm the funky Abstract brother
Funky in a sense, but I play the undercover
Once had a fetish, fetish for some booty
Now I'm getting funky in my rap and that's my duty
Brothers tend to jock on the style in particular
If you got the ego like some brothers then I'll get with ya
But if I don't pursue, then I just don't give a (fuck)
My motto in the 90's is be happy making bucks
Girls love the jim, cos it causes crazy friction
When it goes up in and fluctuates the diction
I still understand the oomph cause that's what I met her for
I'm hooked on the swing, so just call me the music whore
Women love the voice, brothers dig the lyrics
Quest the people's choice, we driving for the spirit
If you can't hear it, then get the wax utensil
Write my rhymes straight up, don't give it no fancy stencil
The rhymes be getting sweet, we stay away from tart
A perfectionist at work, perking up the art
If you want to battle, I suggest you check your clock
Your demise is coming up and I want your man to watch
Be the prime example, or deeper still the sample
Insignificance, here I'll place you on the mantle
Born up in Harlem, reside down in Jamaica
The girl I used to rock, her moms was a Quaker
Now what does that make her? The evil money taker?
The crazy move faker, I use that to break her
[Hook: Q-Tip & Vinia Mojica]
Phife is in the house (ooohh, you know you got going on)
Uncle Mike is in the house (this ain't a R&B song)
Bob Power is in the house (you got it going on)
Tim Latham is in the house (and on and on and on)
Wise Men is in the house
The Brand Nubes is in the house
The J Beez, they in the house
And De La, they in the house
[Verse 2: Q-Tip]
I must regroup my thoughts and kick the next ones for my people
Please don't be deceived by the ugly slice of evil
The world is kinda cold and the rhythm is my blanket
Wrap yourself up in it, if you love it, then you'll thank it
Don't move to rebuttal, wave your hand for action
Some women in the 90's want more than satisfaction
They want keys and Gs, and all those illy things
If you want to, I'll show you, just what the Ab can bring
I keep a tight net with my brothers Ken and Kenny
If the question is of rhymes, then I'll tell ya, I got plenty
The thing that men and women need to do is stick together
Progressions can't be made if we're separate forever
I hooked this funky beat with the loop and the feature
This the funky singing by Miss Vinia Mojica
So listen because the Quest is led through the underground
My people have been oppressed too long, no more will we be down
People tend to riff cause they don't know the mental
People tend to bug cause the beats are hard but gentle
Africano lurks through the body of this youngun'
Play like Bobby Byrd on your back and you're coming to
The house of the jazz, of the funk, of the rhythm
All the goods are welcome, but if you're a villain
I'll just wait and debate, contemplate your arrival
If flexing is your motive, then you don't like survival
The Abstract is speaking, the hard beats is reaching
To Black and Puerto Ricans cause they're butt naked streaking
Through the ever murky streets of the urbanized areas
Blasting out the speakers is the hip hop hysteria
[Hook: Q-Tip & Vinia Mojica]
Craig is in the house (ooohh, you know you got going on)
Pete Rock is in the house (this ain't a R&B song)
CL is in the house (you got it going on)
Ultramag is in the house (and on and on and on)
Nice and Smooth is in the house
Big Daddy Kane is in the house
Beatnuts is in the house
Special Ed is in the house
[Outro: Q-Tip]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
And this one goes out to my man
Thanks a lot Ron Carter on the bass
Yes my man Ron Carter is on the bass
And check it out, going into the '91 decade
Up in until the 2000 decade
You gotta say the Quest is on
And goddamn it, yes the Quest is on
And we out!
Q-Tip spits solo on a whole track that samples Heatwave's "The Star of a Story" and Joe Farrell's "Upon This Rock."

Cole ready to build on first spring start
Hurdle 'really thrilled' with Pirates righty's 2-inning debut
BRADENTON, Fla. -- Pirates right-hander Gerrit Cole got back on the mound Sunday for the first time since the National League Wild Card Game with one goal: Get through it.
After being slightly set back by right rib inflammation to start Spring Training, Cole made his first Grapefruit League appearance against the Tigers at McKechnie Field, allowing two solo home runs and striking out a batter in two innings of the Pirates' 9-5 victory.
• Spring Training: Schedule | Tickets | Gear
"Just wanted to get through this one and get a feel for what's going on," Cole said. "You've got to start somewhere, so we can build off it and move forward."
Cole gave up a wind-aided leadoff homer to Detroit's Anthony Gose and surrendered another solo shot in the second, a rocket to left-center field by Casey McGehee. He retired the other six hitters he faced, recording three groundouts and striking out Tigers third baseman Nick Castellanos in the first.
"I was really thrilled with him being on the mound," manager Clint Hurdle said. "He threw all his pitches, so it was a good day, very good day."
That was essentially all the Pirates had hoped for in Cole's 2016 debut. Asked before the game what he wanted to see from Cole, general manager Neal Huntington answered first with one word: Health.
"Just see if he can keep his adrenaline in check ... He's such a competitive man. He's driven to be elite," Huntington said. "To remind him that it is a Spring Training game, that he's going out there to condition as much as anything else, to get the feel of his delivery as much as anything else, and continue to take the steps in the right direction."
• Justice: Huntington, Bucs on track for 'next step'
The rib inflammation came about during an offseason workout, and it limited the 25-year-old right-hander to flat-ground throwing when the Pirates opened camp. He threw off the mound for the first time on Feb. 22, starting a progression that most pitchers typically start before Spring Training begins.
Since then, Cole has been considered a healthy pitcher and worked on a normal schedule. From here on out, he'll be on the same schedule as every other pitcher: start, between-starts bullpen session, repeat until ready for the season.
Cole's modified schedule will keep him from being the Pirates' Opening Day starter, Hurdle announced on Friday. Francisco Liriano will pitch Pittsburgh's opener for the third straight year.
But if the rest of his spring goes according to plan, Cole should be ready the first week of the season.
"Standard procedure," Cole said.

I finally decided to try this recipe that I have had saved for a while now. I am not sure why I felt intimidated by it, but I did. Needless to say it was so simple to make. I am a huge over thinker and I fidgeted with the shaping of the dough for much longer then I should have but I couldn't visualise the end result before it was baked.
I made up my own glaze recipe and my liquid measurements are not exact so if you make it just add small amounts of liquid till you get the consistency you want.
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup white sugar
3 eggs
1/4 cup molasses
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 tablespoons ground ginger
3/4 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
In a large bowl, mix together oil, sugar, eggs, and molasses. In another bowl, combine flours, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg; mix into egg mixture to form a stiff dough.
Divide dough in half, and shape each half into a roll the length of the cookie. Place rolls on cookie sheet, and pat down to flatten the dough to 1/2 inch thickness.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove from oven, and set aside to cool.
When cool enough to touch, cut into 1/2 inch thick diagonal slices. Place sliced biscotti on cookie sheet, and bake an additional 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until toasted and crispy.
My Chocolate Glaze
3/4 cup icing sugar
1 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp butter(room temp.)
1 tsp Vanilla
1oz semi-sweet bakers chocolate square
Buttermilk to thin
In a bowl mix the icing sugar and butter with water and vanilla until smooth.
With a double boiler, or using a metal bowl over a pot of boiling water, melt your 1oz of chocolate. I used 1 baker's Square. You can use chocolate chips if you don't have any baker's squares. Just make sure they are semi-sweet, not milk chocolate, or your glaze will be much too sweet.
Once the chocolate is melted add it to your sugar mix and combine. Once it is combined add enough buttermilk until you have a nice smooth and somewhat runny consistency for drizzling it on your Biscotti.
If you don't have buttermilk just use cows milk, rice milk, soy milk or almond milk.

Review of "MyProtein Impact Whey Isolate"
"Myprotein, Mynewchoice."
After using Maximuscle Promax for about 3 months I decided that I couldn't keep up with the cost of using it. Because of this I searched for what was a cheaper alternative to Promax which still had a quality protein percentage and was not a cheap, high fat, high sugar milkshake. After all, the point of these is to substitute training, not be a nice tasty snack with no real nutritional benefit.I decided on Myprotein Whey Protein Isolate as my substitute because of the 90% protein value and also because it wouldn't break the bank, being expensive enough to try and ensure that it is not a disappointment. And so, I bought a 2.5kg bag which lasted me two months and I can happily say that I was not left feeling like I had wasted my money. This stuff is bloody good for price, easily as good as Promax at a fraction of the price. You get 27.9g from a 32g serving and very little fat and carbohydrate making it ideal as a mid-morning shake or an hour before bed.
The taste is good, banana being my favourite, and the mixability is on the same par as other products of a similar type, Promax, Reflex Whey etc. The only problem I did find was with the 'strawberry cream' version as this seemed to froth a lot, however I have not found this with the others. It is easily neckable and for once, it is a shake that you can drink in parts and not just down the whole lot in one go for fear of it reaching the taste buds.The packaging is one of the only let downs of this product as it is in a bag that unless you are very careful opening it, re-fastening it using the seal is difficult to say the least. The packaging and presentation is not as good as the pots used for Maximuscle products. However if this saving on packaging brings the price down to £14.99 for 30 servings then I can deal with this and I urge you to also consider it before you buy one of the mass marketed American brands. The packaging does still keep it fresh and because of the fact it is in a bag, makes it easy to put into a holdall.
I used this for about 8 weeks solidly and saw improvements that were on the same level with that of Promax. Obviously, the expected gains were never going to be hugely more because when it comes to it, protein is protein, as long as you are getting a similar grade then it will yield similar results. I wanted to see if a cheaper product (such as Myprotein Whey Isolate) could yield similar results and that it did well. I put 7 pounds of muscle on and felt much stronger in myself after using this product.The delivery (as I have now come to expect from Myprotein) was absolutely excellent. I always opt for the cheap option (£2.95 via Hermes) as it always gets to me within 2 days which I think is exceptional. True it's not as impressive as Maximuscle's free delivery but with the savings you make from Myprotein, £2.95 for it delivered to your door is easily acceptable.
Overall this is a product that does everything a protein shake should do well and doesn't cost the earth. I am thoroughly impressed with Myprotein's offering to the protein isolate market and will continue to be buying with Myprotein for a long time.I urge anyone who doesn't want the cost of more exclusive proteins to look at this and at least try a 1kg for £14.99 to see just what it is like, I can assure you that you won't be disappointed.
Any questions welcome.

People might have a hard time recalling the first artist signed to Flicker Records, especially now that the label has followed a more hard rocking direction, but Riley Armstrong was once Flicker's flagship artist with his self-titled debut in 2000, followed by 2002's
Likewise, while Armstrong's style hasn't changed that much, the music fits differently in today's cultural context. Six years ago, he was the quirky dreadlocked singer who played silly songs to youth groups like Weird Al Yankovic on acoustic guitar (remember his radio single "Sleep?"). Now, sans dreadlocks, he's evolved into Christian music's answer to Jack Johnson. Just as Johnson playfully sings about "Banana Pancakes" and romantic longing, Armstrong sings about checking pockets before doing laundry ("Cell Phone") while also offering up a love song ("Melting") and commenting on the side effects of television ("All the Good Ideas Are Gone").
It's cool to hear Armstrong play with a band for tracks like "Anthem from 4th Place" about freedom in humility, and "A Calendar for Clean Water" about storing our treasures in the eternal. Yet his more distinctive sound comes with playing to less interesting programmed drum loops on songs like the worshipful "Above Every Name" and his meditation on brokenness "Fall to Find You," though his ode to '80s analog recording "Cassette Deck" is a standout for its resemblance to Beck.

The Case for Trade
February 27, 2004
Manufacturing employment has been declining over the past half-century, even though industrial production has increased more than sixfold between 1950 and 2000 (before falling during the latest recession), according to Chapter 2 in the 2004 Economic Report of the President (ERP).
How can this be? The ERP cites two factors.
- First, and most significant, dramatic and sustained productivity increases in manufacturing throughout this period generated a huge decline in the price of manufactured goods relative to the price of services.
- Second, capitalizing on the benefits accruing from international trade, consumers increased their purchase of imported goods, which reinforced the relative price decline of manufactured goods.
Altogether, between 1950 and 2000, "the average price of consumption goods relative to services fell more than 50 percent," the ERP reveals. Nevertheless, the large increase in the consumption of goods noted earlier was still not sufficient to fully compensate for the even bigger relative price decline. Hence, manufacturing's nominal share of GDP declined as consumers' purchases of services soared.
The resulting benefits are unmistakable: "The boost to real income from the relative price decline of manufactured goods [and food] has supported demand not only for these goods," the ERP declares, "but also for services such as health care and financial advice." The indisputable result has been a major increase in Americans' living standards. Chapter 2 clearly deserves far more attention than it has received, notes the ERP.

Cairo - An Egyptian demonstrator was killed early Saturday outside the country's cabinet building, where protesters have camped overnight to prevent the entrance of the country's newly-appointed prime minister, witnesses and a medical official said.
The death came as a wave of protests against military rule was given extra impetus by the Egyptian military's decision on Friday to appoint a prime minister who served under deposed President Hosni Mubarak.
Hundreds gathered outside the Cabinet to prevent Prime Minister Kamal el-Ganzouri from entering to take up his new post, and clashed with security forces who tried to disperse them.
An Associated Press cameraman saw three police troop carriers and an armored vehicle being chased off by rock-throwing protesters. The security forces fired tear gas in return before leaving the site.
The medical official confirmed that one protester was killed. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. Video clips posted on social networking sites showed protesters rushing to rescue a heavily bleeding man.
Witnesses say the protester was killed when a police vehicle ran over him.
Officials say more than 40 people have been killed across the country since 19 November.
Thousands of protesters have filled Tahrir Square, a few blocks from the cabinet building, throughout the eight days.

Those who pursue contract development opportunities usually face three main problems: finding reputable clients; the occasional miscommunicated—or flat-out unfair—project requirement; and most seriously, the potential that a client won't want to pay for your work, for whatever reason. Any one of these potential problems can be daunting enough to scare you away from the opportunity to make a little extra money on the side, and possibly even gain experience with a new language or technology.
But RentACoder—one of the latest of several contract facilitation Web sites that have recently cropped up—offers services that could very well solve those problems for which contract jobs are infamous.
So, how does this work?
The site provides an auction and feedback system—much like what you'd find on auction sites. Payment for a contract is made in advance and held in escrow by RentACoder until the project is completed. On paper, this idea serves to protect both clients and contractors; the former don't risk losing deposits to dead-beat developers, and the latter will have fewer problems with nonpaying customers.
To receive work through RentACoder, you must complete a short registration process, during which you'll have a chance to create an online resume of sorts, detailing your skills and experience. You'll then be able to place bids on any of the open jobs posted on the Web site. As of this writing, there are 482 open jobs on RentACoder, ranging from large-scale projects with formalized multimonth timetables to minor projects and even technical questions posed by newbies and students.
Each contract job is categorized according to several criteria. You can browse through listings by platform, specific language requirements, size of the project, and the nature of the work (e.g., documentation or QA/testing). Each job listing includes an estimated payment amount (anywhere from $1 to over $5,000) and a short description of the project's requirements. The quality of these descriptions is highly variable: The best ones will usually include a project plan document, a diagram, or mockup; the worst will be vague and possibly even incoherent.
You'll be able to gauge the quality of a potential client through a ratings system similar to that used on auction Web sites like eBay. After a project's conclusion, each party is given an opportunity to leave feedback about the person on the other side of the exchange, by rating the experience on a scale of one to ten. Since buyers (as clients are called on RentACoder) can also leave feedback on coders (contractors), the feedback system works to both groups' advantage.
Find something you like?
When you find a job that sounds interesting, you'll place a bid with the buyer. You'll be able to specify a dollar amount, send the buyer a demo or some sample work, and spell out any special terms while placing your bid via the Web site's bidding interface. Once submitted, your bid will be editable by you and only viewable by you and the buyer. This private bid system prevents coders from undercutting each other while bidding, and protects the buyer from possible price collusion as well—although the system makes it difficult to judge the going rate for a particular kind of project.
Once a buyer accepts a bid, he or she is required to deposit the agreed-upon payment with RentACoder, which keeps the funds in an escrow account so there will be no payment issues when the job is completed. You, on the other hand, are required to file weekly progress reports through the RentACoder Web site. Once you complete work on a project and your buyer signs off on it, RentACoder will issue you a payment after deducting their 15% facilitation fee. Should a payment dispute arise, either party has the option of pursuing mediation via an agency, such as SquareTrade.
Is it as easy as it looks?
While RentACoder appears to have answers to most of the problems I've seen with online contract facilitation services in the past, it seems to me that it's still far from perfect. For starters, the rating system makes it difficult for newcomers to get work. With something like 26,000 registered coders, the lack of a rating can be a disadvantage, because many buyers and coders will steer clear of untested counterparts. Aside from that, with consistently less than 500 jobs open for bid, the extremely low job-to-coder ratio makes bid competition pretty fierce. It also serves to lower the average price for a job, as simple free-market economics should tell you.
Finding an interesting project can be a trying experience as well. It appears that some buyers are in the habit of routinely listing multiple ads for the same project in different categories. I'm not clear on whether this is a result of ignorance or malicious intent on the part of some buyers, or simply a matter of sloppy categorizing by RentACoder. Whatever the reason, seeing listings for the same project in six different categories is a bit annoying.
Also, although the escrow system used by RentACoder serves to keep buyers honest, it can't protect coders from unscrupulous buyers who might attempt to change project requirements midstream or groundlessly refuse to approve a coder's final work. In theory, the rating system would serve to prevent such behavior, but as anyone who's ever bought something on eBay can tell you, some shady characters slip through the cracks, and a negative feedback, no matter how deserved, can sometimes spark off nasty flame wars.
The SquareTrade mediation could come in handy in resolving disputes, but the basic, free mediation service consists only of automated e-mail contacts initiated by Web forms. To get a real mediator on your case, you'll need to fork over some cash, which might not be worth it for a smaller contract.
That said, a perusal of ratings information for about 20 randomly selected buyers, shows that most of them appear to be on the up-and-up, making payments on time with minimal hassle. Besides, disputes over project scope and payment are part and parcel with the contract developer's business, and RentACoder has come up with some novel ideas of dealing with these problems. As a result, the site appears to have built a healthy community of coders and buyers, and there always appear to be jobs available. On the strength of that fact alone, whether you're a career contractor just looking for some side work or even a manager trying to staff a small project, you should definitely check out RentACoder.

Brother and sister team Christian Castillo-Martinez and Allison Ward hail from Peru but now live in Hertfordshire. They missed the tastes of their childhood so much, they decided to do something about it – and so Rico Picante sauces were born! Here's a true Peruvian success story, which just goes to show that sometimes the best way forward can start with a look to the past.
ADAM: Hi Christian, lovely to meet you! We're big fans of Rico Picante sauces, and so are our customers. How did it all start?
CHRISTIAN: Lovely to meet you too. The story starts back in 2009, when we were unable to find the fragrant and fruity chilli sauce flavours that we grew up with in Peru. We decided to bring our own range of authentic premium sauces to the market, and we debuted our saucy skills at a small Latin food festival in London that year.
We made our first batch in my sister's kitchen in Hitchin. It was a three day festival and we sold out on the first day, all 300 bottles! Naturally we went back home and cooked all night! After that we tested our products over the next few years in the marketplace, in delicatessens, at farmers markets and food festivals in an around London and the South. We were overwhelmed by the positive response it received everywhere. People really understood that our sauces are not just heat, they are full of flavour and can make your food absolutely delicious.
A: You guys are really passionate about your ingredients. I understand that your chillies are even home grown?
C: My sister started growing chillies in our green house, and we still do it in small quantities; but now we sell more sauces we also import chillies comes from the north, south, Andes and Amazon areas of Peru.
The four chillies we use (amarillo, limo, rocoto and panca) are the most popular chillies in Peru and used in all Peruvian restaurants worldwide. There is nothing to compare those chilli peppers with, they really do have an amazing taste.
We also use a herb for our Andes sauce called huacatay, commonly known as Peruvian Black Mint. It's a great ingredient to add flavour to your dishes. This makes our Andes sauce, made with huacatay and aji amarillo chilli, one of the most popular in the UK.
A: What's been the highest point in the Rico Picante journey so far?
C: It is really difficult to mention one point in time. I think we are enjoying the whole journey. That said, we love our food shows such as Taste of London where we have the chance to interact with and get feedback from our customers.
A big turning point in our journey was starting to sell to the gourmet department stores William Sonoma in the USA and Canada in 2010. It was a big task at the time but it helped us to toughen up! It was a big jump to go from cooking at home to renting premises and getting all certifications we needed. Today we are BRC Certified which is the highest-recognised global safety standard.
A: We sell three of your sauces at Viva Peru, Amazonia, Oops and Andes. Which is your favourite?
C: Another hard question! It's like having five kids and you ask me which one is my favourite [laughing].
Amazonia was the first sauce we made. It comes from a forty-year-old recipe made by my parents. They used to make chilli sauce in their company many years ago and we brought it back to life decades after in the UK. On the other hand, Andes sauce uses that special Peruvian Black Mint, which gives a fresh flavour. Oops sauce is an explosion of heat, which is great for spice lovers, but it doesn't kill the flavours of the food.
A: Apart from your own yummy sauces of course, what are your favourite Peruvian dishes?
C: Aji de Gallina is the dish I always have on my birthday! It's shredded chicken in an aji amarillo sauce, served with rice. I also like Carapulcra which made from dried potatoes (papa seca) with pork. Of course, you can prepare these dishes using our sauces too! Just visit our website if you'd like some of our recipes.

Hi, Houston Eater here (formerly of SF Bay Area). My husband and I are traveling to Detroit the last weekend in September and were looking for some recommendations. We are both adventurous eaters and willing to try anything at least once, with the one caveat that I am a vegetarian (cheese and other dairy items okay, but no meat, poultry, seafood or fish). We will most likely be staying downtown, but will have a car and are willing to travel. Any recommendations for food, cheap eats for the daytime, maybe one really nice place for a Friday or Saturday night out, would be very much appreciated. I have read a number of discussions of food in Detroit, but I would like your not to be missed Detroit restaurants.
Also, and I know this is not really food related, but what do you recommend for an early thirties couple to do in Detroit. I am an architecture and art nerd, my husband is a beer nerd, and we both love music of all kinds.

Amazing Scottish adventure!
I love both them both as an audio and a book!
I never compare books!
Melissa was perfect for Annella's voice!
Yes, it was! It was great, fun and a delight to listen to!
I strongly recommend April Holthaus's books and audios!

WOW, It is action, romance, chivalry, & funny
I normally do not listen to Female Narrators, but this lady Melissa Carey did an awesome job. I just sat and totally enjoyed this book. It was not monotone and she did well with the story. I will listen to this lady again, and read/listen to this Authors books.
It is action, romance, chivalry, funny, and lots more. I loved it from beginning to end. The characters are spot on.
Melissa Carey makes it so much more interesting when she starts talking for the men. I was shocked, thinking I wouldn't like it but she did great.
No I have never listened to her before.
The book was great. The story line was good. You were taken on a wonderful ride and did not feel like a novella.
You will love this book

Your Thoughts
There is one comment.
The most exquisite Beaux-Arts residential building in Chicago, Benjamin Marshall's masterpiece was the height of luxury in 1917 apartment living, with one 15 room apartment per floor. Each apartment had a suite of 3 connecting rooms - living, dining and reception - which spanned the entire 100' depth of the building, overlooking the park. There were 4 family and 1 guest bedroom, each with bath, as well as 4 servants' rooms. The kitchens had huge built-in refrigerators with 3 separate compartments, including one which could be filled with ice from the service entrance so the iceman would not have to enter the apartment. The stove had 2 grills so, as the marketing materials explained, meat and fish need never be prepared on the same grill. There was a butler pantry, silver vault, wine closet and many other uncommon amenities, including a built-in vacuum system. The building had its own private water filtration system.Over the years the apartments were divided into 33 separate units, still very luxurious, although many owners have unfortunately removed much of the beautiful woodwork, enameling, ceiling medallions, and other vintage features. Still the exterior has not changed and has been well maintained, and this building remains the crowning jewel of Marshall's residential collection.

text: Concerns about pollution from disabled tankers anchored in Kachemak Bay is generating pressure for greater tanker safety measures in Cook Inlet after a cracked oil tanker, the Seabulk Pride, was escorted here by a tug, the Pacific Challenger, from the upper inlet. The 601-foot Seabulk Pride was ripped from its loading dock in Nikiski in extreme ice and tide conditions and then rescued from where it had grounded on a beach a half mile north of the dock. The accident occurred just days after the Coast Guard issued "Extreme Ice Rules" for vessels traveling through upper Cook Inlet. Under the rules, if the Seabulk Pride had been pushing ice, it could not have docked. There were 24 people on board when the tanker broke loose, including two marine pilots, and no injuries were reported. Two barrels of fuel spilled from fuel loading hoses when the tanker broke away from its dock, but no further leakages were reported. Initial inspections of the double-hull tanker revealed no damage. More thorough inspections conducted by divers in Kachemak Bay over the weekend revealed cracks 7 inches and 4 inches long on the Seabulk Pride's outer hull. The cracks likely were created by an object, such as a boulder, rather than stress from resting on the beach without water and have not raised concerns about product leaking. Divers also found and removed a wire mooring line wrapped around a propeller shaft. (Source: Homer News Online)

Published: Wednesday 11th March 2015 by The News Editor
John Bercow has apologised to a Tory minister for comparing her display in the Commons t o a washing machine.
The Commons Speaker rebuked Work and Pensions Minister Esther McVey after judging her answer during a question time session was too long.
He remarked on Monday afternoon: " I am reminded of the feeling when one thinks the washing machine will stop – but it does not."
Ms McVey limited her next answer to 14 words.
But Mr Bercow apologised today to Ms McVey for the "off-the-cuff remark", which he acknowledged may have been "foolish".
He added he did not intend to offend the minister.
Raising a point of order, Tory backbencher Heather Wheeler ( South Derbyshire) told the Speaker: "You have always advised members of this House of the importance of showing respect to others in the workplace.
"In that regard, is it appropriate in this House – which is a workplace – that a female minister should have been referred to as a washing machine?"
Mr Bercow replied: "I certainly didn't say that a member was a washing machine.
"If I caused offence to an honourable member on Monday afternoon in the course of question time in rebuking her for a long answer – though it did result in a somewhat shorter one after that – but if I caused offence by what I said I very happily apologise to that member.
"I intended to cause no offence to her. I hold her in the highest esteem. I hope I ordinarily treat members with great courtesy.
"It was an off-the-cuff remark, it may well have been a foolish one and I apologise for it."

text: I'm confused by this episode. Spoiler Is Carol actually dead then? Kind of lame to not even give her an actual death.... or to kill her after tdog sacrificed himself for her for that matter. Are they saying that walker ate lori? In which case where was the rest of her remains? It wasnt going to eat her whole. And why wont michonne just tell andrea what she found. Reaching romcom levels of 'if they'd just sit down and have an honest conversation, they could solve this misunderstanding in 5 minutes'.

Vlogtober #12 features a VERY blogger-full weekend - not to mention some really great food. Being little hermits that reside on the coast of the UK, Alix and I were so excited to go for lunch together (we may have also filmed some very rambley videos) and I can confirm she is one if the most genuinely lovely bloggers I've ever met. Hopefully our lunch dates will become more of a regular thing. We also saw the lovely Tanya - who I've actually seen three times this week - that's more times in one week than in the past year! She's always a pleasure to see so lunch and shopping with her was super lovely. We had creps and milkshakes, a dreamy combo.
Finally we saw Liv on Saturday. Her and her other half Joe and two of the most lovely human beings on the planet, so seeing them is always a pleasure, and this time Josh joined us for coffee - finally putting 3D faces to the names.
It was a busy weekend - followed by an even busier week. I think I might be taking this weekend to recover as I've currently lost my voice... Oops.

Nationals right-hander Doug Fister completed his rehab assignment for the high Single-A Potomac Nationals on Sunday. Fister went four innings, as planned, and threw 59 pitches, 42 for strikes.
This was Fister's initial rehab start. He is currently on the 15-day disabled list with a right lat strain.
Fister told reporters afterward that he had good location and spring training velocity. A source at the stadium told me Fister "looked pretty good for his first outing."
Fister allowed six hits, three runs, no earned runs, no walks and struck out three. There were two errors and one passed ball during his outing.
Fister's next start could come May 2. Potomac is on the road at Winston-Salem, but low Single-A Hagerstown is home taking on Lexington.
If all goes well on that rehab start, Fister could make his debut May 7 when the Nationals host the Dodgers at Nationals Park.
Update: Nationals manager Matt Williams said in his postgame press conference after a 4-2 loss to the Padres that Fister threw additional pitches in the bullpen to raise his total for the day to 65. Williams added the Nats would try to get Fister to five innings and 80 pitches in his next outing, which would stretch him out enough to return to the Washington rotation.
Update II: After today's game, Fister was in the Nats clubhouse and offered this assessment of his rehab start with the P-Nats:
"Things didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped, but feeling-wise, I felt good, I felt strong. I didn't have any issues in the lat, and it's just a matter of knocking off some rust. ... Everything today felt really good. I let a few go and was pleased, not only with the results but the fact that I felt good."
As for Williams' comment that he might need only one more rehab start before making his regular season debut as a National, Fister said he wanted to get through his scheduled Friday outing. But the right-hander acknowledged that Williams' timetable was "a possibility."

Everybody loves laughing with Ray Romano
Comedian Ray Romano is the type of guy you can count on. When his manager, Rory Rosegarten, told him he was producing a comedy benefit, "Garden of Laughs," for Madison Square Garden's Garden of Dreams Foundation, the TV star simply said, "When and where?"
Saturday, with five other comedians, Romano will put on a night of "good old-fashioned stand-up comedy," according to Rosegarten, in order to help make dreams come true for kids facing obstacles. We recently spoke with Romano by telephone.
You played a Newsday sportswriter on "Everybody Loves Raymond." How did that decision come about and could you be a reporter in reality?
I'm a sports fan, and we wanted it to be a career that was creative and took him out of the house on occasion. We thought being a sportswriter was a perfect fit. I'm not sure if I would be good at it, but it's something that I would entertain the thought of.
What makes you continue with stand-up even after all your success?
Did you ever sit in the house with four kids and want a reason to get out? I'm kidding. ... I love to do stand-up. It's what I feel I do the best. At my core, I'm a professional comedian. I still get a kick out of it.
Is it more of a challenge because of your fame?
You actually get a little bit of a free ride with fans. The one thing I miss is winning over a room of paying strangers. I miss that reward, but I'm not complaining.
You've always kept it clean. Was that a decision from day one?
I kind of evolved on stage with what works best for me and what the audience accepts from me. Every guy has their own style and technique. There are some bits that I write that I can't pull off because I'm not edgy.
What role does the use of your unique voice play in your comedy?
Execution and delivery is just as important as material. The material has to be funny, but you have to deliver it well. Everybody has their own rhythm. It's all part of the whole package.
At the Kennedy Center Honors you teased President Obama about raising taxes for the wealthy and losing the first debate. How did you get away with that?
It was done so good-heartedly and with goofiness. It was a perfect storm of things that had happened. He did lose the first debate in the public's eye, but he won the election. The joke poked a little fun but celebrated him at the same time. I kind of got lucky all those things were there.
How has your act changed post-"Everybody Loves Raymond" and now that your kids are older?
I talk about what's going on in my world at this time, which is colonoscopies and knee braces.
How much of "Everybody Loves Raymond" came from real-life situations?
I would say almost 100 percent was drawn from something that really happened, and because of the genre you ramp it up a bit. In my stand-up I'd say it's the same thing except I don't ramp it up but rather make it conversational and expand on it.
How close is Ray Barone to Ray Romano?
Everything is heightened and exaggerated for TV, but there are core qualities that are the same. He likes to keep the peace and be left alone. He'd rather watch TV than do a lot of stuff. When it comes down to it, he's a good dad and I try my best to be a good dad, too.
Did you find it hard to get away from that character?
People who knew me from "Raymond," half of them stuck around for "Men of a Certain Age" and half didn't because they pictured me as Ray Barone. That's what they wanted and accepted. "Men" was more raw. But it all comes from somewhere real for me. I'm a little of both.
"Men of a Certain Age" showed your dramatic side mixed with comedy. What did you take from that experience?
It was another way to be creative. I loved the process. You can emote in a different way. You don't have to be big and broad like on a sitcom. It's what I still want to do.
Is there another vehicle you can use for your brand of comedy?
I'm trying to write a screenplay. I'm drawn to stuff that's real and relatable, then I bring humor into it. I've gotten into this "dramedy" thing with "Parenthood" and "Men of a Certain Age." That's where I want to go.
How does it feel to be an actor on "Parenthood" without being behind the scenes?
It's fun. I've never been on this side of it where with each script I never know what my character is going to do. Thankfully the writing is great. But I get crazy because I want to see every take I did. I have to let that go.

Legacy and MiniFilter modes
CBFS Filter supports two modes of operation of the filesystem filter driver - Legacy and Minifilter.
Drivers in Legacy mode are attached to the top of the stack of filesystem filter drivers. Such drivers include all filtering logic in them and so they are very flexible in their operations. The Legacy mode has certain limitations when it comes to driver deactivation (eg. during deinstallation) and when you need to control the order in which the requests are filtered (eg. content analysis filter must sit on top of encryption filter).
Some low-level software applications (disk mirroring systems etc) refuse to work or works in compatibility mode, when presence of legacy filter is detected.
Minifilter architecture, offered by Microsoft, includes a framework that implements a filter driver itself. The framework manages so-called minifilters which implement small part of filtering functionality. Such architecture lets one implement minifilters easier and makes the OS more stable. At the same time minifilters are not as flexible as legacy filters and don't let one implement some functions possible with Legacy drivers.
In Minifilter mode each filesystem filter driver must have a pre-set Altitude.
Virtual Files feature works only in Legacy mode.

Even the libraries are talking trash. Whenever the World Series or Super Bowl take place, it's become standard protocol for the leaders of the two cities involved in the matchup to brag a bit about their local team's chances—and back up the claims with friendly wagers. This year, however, it's not only governors and mayors throwing down the gauntlets in support of their teams. Celebrity fans, district attorneys, local museums, and even YMCAs are getting in on the action too.
And yes, the public libraries are engaging in smack talk. Perhaps surprisingly, it wasn't New York taking the lead in that department. Instead, the Kansas City Public Library kicked off the battle of words on social media, with a tweet sent out yesterday with the message, "Well look what we found on the shelf …," along with a faded photo of the cover of The Worst Team Money Could Buy: The Collapse of the New York Mets. After the Royals won Game 1 on Tuesday night, the New York Public Library Twitter account responded with a pic featuring titles like Payback on book spines. (Somebody is groaning right now about their tax money going to pay employees who handle library social media accounts and spend their time doing this stuff.)
[UPDATE: Originally, we reported that the libraries weren't betting anything on the World Series outcome. But as it turns out, that's not true. A representative from the New York Public Library reached out and revealed that a friendly wager was indeed agreed upon, before the Series started. If the Royals win, New York will give the KC system copies of the five best books ever written about New York City and New York bagels, and the famous lion mascot outside the Fifth Avenue library in Manhattan will be decorated in Royals gear for one hour. If the Mets win, the New York libraries will receive a donation to its early literacy programs, plus books, coffee, and a feast of Kansas City barbecue.]
Here are some of the other high-profile individuals and organizations in Kansas City and New York City that are placing quirky wagers with their counterparts to support their teams.
Jimmy Kimmel vs. Eric Stonestreet
The talk show host and the "Modern Family" actor are huge supporters of the Mets and Royals, respectively, and decided to put their fan creds where their mouths are, in the form of a bet in which the winner gets to see the loser tortured. Originally, Kimmel said, he wanted the loser to get a vasectomy, but his wife nixed that idea. They then spun the "Wheel of Terrible Bets" on Kimmel's show, with the options including the loser being handcuffed to a superhero on Hollywood Boulevard, getting an earring, or handing over the reins to his Twitter account for an hour. The bet they wound up going with is truly terrible, requiring the loser to hop around in a bounce house for a minute while the winner shoots him with paintballs.
Andrew Cuomo vs. Jay Nixon
The governors of New York and Missouri have agreed to wager a package of goods from their respective home states. For instance, if the Royals win, Cuomo has to cough up a spread of bagels, beers, ciders, wines, wing sauce, and Italian sausage produced in New York. If the Mets are champs, Nixon must deliver a jersey from the K.C.'s Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, plus Missouri-made coffee and barbecue ribs to Cuomo.
Brooklyn Brewery vs. Boulevard Brewing
"The pride and pints of both cities are on the line," the Brooklyn Brewery blog stated in a post detailing the terms of a bet it placed against its counterpoint brewer in Kansas City. The wager stipulates that the losing city's brewer will pour the winning city's beer from the taps for a full week, and the loser's owner must wear the winning team's baseball cap and toast the champs with a pint full of the brew.
Louis Armstrong House Museum vs. American Jazz Museum
The losing city's jazz museum will send the winner a basket of treasures from their institution, including books, CDs, and photo prints from the archives.
Bill de Blasio vs. Sly James
OK, so Kansas City wins hands down in terms of having the mayor with the cooler name. (Sly James? Come on! Can't beat that. Sounds like a jazz impresario, or a baseball player—perhaps a super-smooth shortstop or bad-ass relief pitcher.) But we'll have to wait and see which mayor's team wins the World Series, and which losing mayor will have to sing the winner's song of choice ("New York, New York," or "Kansas City"). New York cheesecake and Kansas City barbecue are also on the line.
Local YMCAs & District Attorneys
The leaders of the YMCAs in Kansas City and New York City have agreed to a fairly standard bet, requiring the loser to wearing the winning team's jersey to work. Similarly, the district attorneys in Queens and Kansas City have placed a pretty traditional bet, in which the winner gets a feast featuring the specialties from the loser's hometown—subs from an Italian deli in Queens or, of course, Kansas City barbecue.

• The president described the process of transformation Mexico has experienced in recent decades, particularly in the past three years.
• Our country wishes to continue along the path of breaking down barriers and obstacles to its development, he said.
• We want to be the builders and architects of a better future for Mexico, for Mexican society and for those who have made Mexico a place for them to be and live, as has been the case for the Jewish community, he said.
As part of the tenth anniversary of the Arthur and Rochelle Belfer Institute for Latino and Latin American Affairs, President Enrique Peña Nieto met with members of the American Jewish Committee and the Central Committee of the Jewish Community in Mexico, with whom he shared the transformation process our country has experienced in recent decades, particularly in the past three years.
The president said that Mexico is a country of democratic vocation, which has been consolidated under this condition and has experienced a degree of political and social stability over the past 81 years that few countries can boast of: "Every six years during this period, we have had orderly, peaceful power-switching, in strict accordance with our constitutional framework."
He noted that today's Mexico, "Elicits increasing confidence, from responsible action in the management of public finances to care for and preserve our macroeconomic stability, meaning that the dynamism of our economy remains the main engine of our economic development."
It is worth noting, he said, that, "Over the past three years, we have had foreign direct investment of over 80 billion dollars, accounting for nearly 50 percent more than the average investments of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's member countries."
Mexico is a country undergoing a process of change and transformation, which remains faithful to the objectives we have set to arrive at better conditions and better scenarios, he said.
"We are a democratic government, an open government, a government that listens to different voices, and on the basis of this, we have set a path of transformation and breaking down barriers to achieve greater development as a nation," he said.
President Peña Nieto said that, "Mexico wishes to continue along the road to breaking down the barriers and obstacles to its development. We wish to be the builders and architects of a better future for Mexico, for Mexican society and for those who have made Mexico a place for them to be and live, as has been the case for the Jewish community, he said.
The president noted that, "We are the seventh largest producer of vehicles in the world and the fourth largest exporter of vehicles and we are the leading exporter of television screens, refrigerators, among other items. This undoubtedly speaks of the transformation Mexico has undergone in the past three decades."
To contextualize these figures, the president said that three decades ago, "We were a country whose main export was oil. Today, oil export revenues account for no more than 10 percent of our exports."
He said that, "In this democratic condition of plurality and diversity, major structural changes have taken place in the past three years, many aimed at expanding the rights of Mexican society by strengthening its democratic institutions."
The president thanked the American Jewish Committee for its strong support of the Mexican community in the United States. "I know that your voice is one that is heard loudly, and that in US society, it highlights the great work of our compatriots, who are part of the development of that nation," he said.
"I am sure that you will continue to be a voice that speaks loudly, and not only demands rights but calls for the recognition of the contribution of migrant communities in the United States to the development of that sister nation," he said.
President Peña Nieto said that with the United States, Mexico has, "A geographic vicinity in which we are called to promote the development of the North American region."
"We have significantly intensified our trade and tourism with the United States. For the United States, we are a very important destination for its exports; in fact, we are its second most important export destination," he said.
He said that, "The US buys almost three times more from Mexico than it does from countries like Turkey, Brazil and Russia together." Likewise, he continued, the United States has become Mexico's most important export destination. "That has made us strategic partners in trade, tourism and many other areas," he added.
David Harris, Executive Director of the American Jewish Committee, acknowledged Mexicans' contribution to the United States of America: "They improve our country."
He said that they come here as friends of American pluralism, which is one of the reasons that explain the greatness of the United States: its dynamism and ability to regenerate itself.
He recalled that in the US, "We have Spanish-speaking people," adding that the Institute of the American Jewish Committee, "Has built and has also supported and formed relations and partnerships. We support them, and we will continue to be at their side."
He declared that, "We are together, as Americans, with Mexico, fighting for democracy," to create the world we wish to leave our children.
For his part, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Jewish Community in Mexico Salomón Achar confirmed the Jewish community's support of President Peña Nieto's government. "I confirm the Jewish community's support of the reforms and commitment we have as a Jewish community in Mexico to build, together with you and your government, a fairer country and one with better opportunities for everyone," he said.
He said that the Jewish community has joined Mexico and "Has offered the country the little it has been able to return in gratitude for these years of freedom, these years of having been able to establish a Jewish community in Mexico, build families, set up businesses and be a community that is fully integrated into the country."

Alcoholism - Conventional Medicine
Traditional drugs can help treat alcohol abuse and dependence both by mitigating the withdrawal symptoms during early abstinence and by helping you to stay sober throughout the recovery period.
The medicines most often used to treat early withdrawal symptoms include:
Anti-anxiety medications such as diazepam and benzodiazepines, which help with some symptoms including trembling or the DTs (delirium tremens).
Seizure medications if these are needed to tackle severe withdrawal symptoms during early detoxification.
Some of the most common drugs use to help continued recovery are:
Disulfiram: This can be administered as tablets or through sub dermal implants. The drug works by making the patient experience a range of unpleasant reactions if they drink alcohol, such as headaches, palpitations and vomiting. However, the drug can also have other significant side effects and must always be carefully monitored.
Naltrexone (ReVia, Vivitrol, Depade): This drug lessens the pleasure you get from alcohol, it can be administered as monthly injections or a 50mg tablet daily. Naltrexone reduces relapse rates. Usually it should be begun 7 to 10 days after abstinence has started to avoid the most serious withdrawal period, however, it has also been shown to be effective at reducing heavy drinking in alcohol dependents who are not abstaining. Side effects include diarrhea and abdominal cramps. Liver function should be checked before starting a course of Naltrexone.
Acamprosate (Campral): This can help reduce the craving for alcohol, but is only effective in combination with support groups and other methods of continuing abstinence. Taken as a tablet, Acamprosate may induce side effects of diarrhoea, allergic reactions, high or low blood pressure, headaches or impotence.
Topiramate (Topamax): This drug is usually used to combat seizures or migraines, but it has also been found to be effective in treating alcohol problems, although use with alcohol may result in increased drowsiness. It appears to alter a chemical imbalance in the brain and stop drinking from being a "rewarding" experience. Memory and thinking problems, plus feelings of sedation are possible side effects of this drug.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon culture. It comes from when the family lived near the cheese house, the building where the village cheese was made and stored. The name would have been applied to a person who lived near the building in which the villagers kept their supply of cheese. The Modern English word cheese is derived from the Old English word cese and the West Saxon word cyse, which both mean cheese.
Cheeshouse Early Origins
Cambridgeshire, where they held a family seat from early times.
Cheeshouse Spelling Variations
Cheeshouse Spelling Variations
Before the last few hundred years, the English language had no fast system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations are commonly found in early Anglo-Saxon surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Cheeshouse were recorded, including Cheesehouse, Cheeshus, Chezus, Cheshus, Chezhus, Cheeshouse, Cheeshous, Cheesehous, Gesors and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Cheeshouse family emigrate to North America: a number of settlers who arrived in the New World by the 19th century.

In the history of jazz, there have been a handful of iconic figures who have transcended popular music styles of their era to create a new generation of jazz devotees. The late Dave Brubeck was one of these. There is very little that I can add to the discussion of the distinguished career of Dave Brubeck - he was, and is, irreplaceable. That is exactly why this CD release is so important. Beginning in February of 1951, shortly after the Brubeck Quartet was formed the prior August, George Wein signed Brubeck to perform at his jazz venue called Storyville which was located in the Copley Square Hotel in downtown Boston. The engagement was broadcast on the radio station WHDH - 850 on the dial if I remember correctly. This was the beginning of a series of broadcasts by Brubeck from Storyville over the next three years. This release gathers all these broadcasts in a 3 CD set which is an absolute must for Brubeck fans for a variety of reasons not the least of which is the aural evidence of the development of the Quartet's style as personnel changes took place over the three year span of these recordings. The fact that Brubeck and Paul Desmond anchored the groups lent stability and direction which evolved into the golden years of the Quartet before Desmond's departure for a solo career. There is very little to critique here. The playing is wonderful - the improvisations are elegant, unique, and ultimately Brubeckian - in short, essential to any serious jazz collection. The notes are extensive and the sound reproduction is superb. The transfers are clean and immediate. I cannot imagine a fan of Brubeck's without this set. Highly recommended.
Update - I neglected to mention that some of these broadcasts originated at the Buckminster Hotel in Boston. It was a venue that housed Storyville for a period of time in the early 50's. Also I was in error as to the station broadcasting the programs. I missed it the first time through, but subsequently learned that the engineer on the Buckminster Hotel remotes was Arnie Ginsberg who was a sound engineer and later iconic DJ for station WMEX in Boston. In the late 50's and early 60's he was a fixture on WMEX when it became a pop music -top 40 formula station. He was known as "WOO WOO" Ginsberg and had a huge teen audience. Nevertheless, as I mentioned earlier, these remotes are superb. I never fail to be moved by Paul Desmond's alto playing. A good friend of mine met him once and as a fellow sax player was fulsome in his admiration for Desmond. One of his most prized possessions is an alto mouthpiece given to him by Desmond after a gig of Desmond's that he attended. He always said that Desmond was a very regular guy who was very approachable. The ethereal quality of his high register playing was unique - he "played high" and it was easily identifiable. A wonderful CD set. There are a few minor dropouts presumably for station ID. Absolutely essential for Brubeck and Desmond fans.

WOW.. haven't heard that name in a minute.
Back in the early 2000s, during my in-between job periods I worked for them as an auditor. Not a bad job (for part-time) but we did lock horns over the break thing which resulted in me walking off to do what I needed to instead of them telling me I had to wait more than 4.5 hours to use the restroom, etc.
Not sure what the current suit is about but the strange thing was that I worked another 2-3 assignments before getting a letter in the mail saying that there was something negative in my "background" (never been arrested or fired from a real job). My reward resulting from a class action lawsuit based on the above scenario was something like $15 and it came about a year after I got notice of lawsuit.
Hope this helps!

Sutor, despite himself being an open source software enthusiast (his full title is vice president of Open Source and Linux in IBM's Software group) said, compared to traditional software vendors, too many companies give open source a pass when it comes to due diligence and scrutiny. And while he said open source has matured quite a bit to where it's now a proven enterprise asset, that doesn't mean it should get a rubber-stamp approval.
"Is software good just because it's open source?" said Sutor. "Just because there are no bugs, that's not enough ... Security, performance and availability concerns do not vanish when you buy open source. Ask the hard questions or you will regret it."
Another issue is to look at the frequency of software updates. If the updates are coming every six months or more frequently, does that work for your IT staff? Also, who will make the decision to distribute updates? "And, if you customize the software, who is going to tweak it when a new version comes along?" queried Sutor. "It's good when the software is designed to be extensible."
He also suggested checking to see what benchmarks are out there for the software you're considering. "You need to be able compare it head-to-head to other solutions and make sure it matches your requirements," Sutor said.
One last tip: Check out the documentation. Sutor said the clarity and thoroughness of the documentation can say a lot about the likely care and quality of a piece of software.
Sutor has addressed the OSBC for several years now, which is not surprising given IBM's impressive track record around open source. He said IBM first got involved with open source about 12 years ago, which led to its first serious efforts around Linux a decade ago. The company now has hundreds of developers in work that spans more than 150 projects related to Linux. Many of these aren't high-profile, but are important to keeping widely used open source software stable and growing.
"We do a lot of things you haven't heard about like libraries in Apache," he said. "There are hundreds of thousands of open source projects, some are incredible, others aren't," he told attendees. "Your definition of what's 'good' is critical."

Tiruchirapalli, Oct 17 (UNI) The Tamil Nadu Government has allotted Rs 250 crore to procure medical equipment for Primary Health Centres (PHCs), taluk and tertiary government hospitals, V K Subburaj, Secretary, Health and Family Welfare said.
Speaking at a function here yesterday, he said the state government had earlier sanctioned an equal amount to improve the medical facilities in all government hospitals.
Stating that 2.2 lakh deliveries were conducted in government hospitals this year, he said a PHC in Vellore district had around 1,000 caesarean sections.
Stressing the need to train doctors with multiple skills, he said more than 100 medical officers in PHCs were trained to take up the role of anesthesia technicians to overcome the shortage.
