The next edition of the HP Discover Performance podcast series highlights how cloud infrastructure and hosted IT services provider Savvis has been able to automate out complexity and add deep efficiency to its operations.
Using a range of performance, operations orchestration and Business Service Automation (BSA) solutions from HP, Savvis has improved its incident resolution and sped the delivery of new cloud services to its enterprise clients.
To learn more about how they did it, we're joined by Art Sanderson, Senior Manager Enterprise Management Tools at Savvis. The discussion is moderated by Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions. [Disclosure: HP is a sponsor of BriefingsDirect podcasts.]
Here are some excerpts:
Gardner: What are the main drivers in your infrastructure as a service (IaaS) market?
Sanderson: Savvis is recognized as a global IT leader in providing IT as a service (ITaaS) to many of today's most recognizable enterprise customers around the world. We offer cloud services and hosting infrastructure services to those customers.
Being an IT department of IT departments, or a dynamic service provider, has a lot of unique challenges that you don't face in every IT shop that you run into. In fact, we have thousands of customers that we have to support with their own IT departments. So our solutions have to be able to scale beyond what you would find in a typical IT organization.
Gardner: And I should think that efficiency is super-important. It's all margin to you, when you can save and do things efficiently?
Better SLAs
Sanderson: Absolutely. There are just the efficiencies alone for operational cost, as well as the value that we provide to our customers, being able to provide better service-level agreements (SLAs), so their businesses are up and running and available to them to service their own customers. There are definitely some economies of scale there.
Our premier services are our Symphony cloud offerings, our Symphony VPDC, Symphony Open and Dedicated cloud, as well as Symphony Database. All, in some form or fashion in various degrees, use the BSA tools on the back end to do their own offerings, and their own automations that we offer our customers.
Gardner: Tell me what you've done in terms of management for better automation, orchestration, and then, how those benefits get passed on.
Sanderson: Sure. We've adopted the HP BSA set of tools as our automation platform and we've used that in a number of different ways and areas within Savvis. It's been quite a journey. We've been using the tools for approximately three to four years now.
We started out with some of our operational uses, and they've matured to the point now where a lot of our automation-type monitoring is solved by automation rather than by our operational staff.
There is definitely labor saving there, as well as time savings in mean time to resolution values that we're adding to our customers. That's just one of the benefits that we're seeing from the automation tools, not to mention the fact that we build a lot of our own key product offerings for the marketplace that we service, using the BSA offerings on the back end as well.
Gardner: How do you measure performance benefits? Is there a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) or some benchmarks?
In just this first quarter of 2012 alone, we recognized somewhere in the neighborhood of $250,000 in labor savings.
Sanderson: From an operational perspective, we do monitor the number of automations that we run that we can capture from the operational side of the house. For example, on a typical day we run anywhere from 10,000-20,000 types of automations through our systems, and that would actually add value back to the business from a labor-savings perspective.
In just this first quarter of 2012 alone, we recognized somewhere in the neighborhood of $250,000 in labor savings just from the automations from an operational perspective. Again, it's hard to quantify the value of adding to the business side, because those are solutions that we're offering to the market space that are generating new value back to the organization as a whole.
Mature process
From the people and process side, we didn't start out necessarily doing it the right way from the operations side of the house. But we have matured the process to where we're now delivering solutions in a much more rapid fashion. The business is driving the priorities from an operational perspective as far as what we're spending our time on.
Then, we can typically turn around automations in a very short time. In some cases, we've built frameworks using these tools where we can turn around an automation that used to take two to three weeks. Now, it can take less than an hour to turn around that same automation.
So we've gotten really smart at what we're doing with the tools, not just building something net new every time, but also making the tools more reusable themselves.
From the value to the organization, we've also had many groups within the product engineering side of the house take on and learn tools like HP Operations Orchestration (HPOO) and HP Service Activator (HPSA), and leverage their own domain knowledge as network engineers or storage engineers to build net new solutions that we then turn around and offer to our customers.
That eliminates a lot of the business analyst type of work and things like that that would typically go into the normal systems development lifecycle (SDLC)-type process that you would see. We're able to cut the time to market for the offerings that we're producing for our customers.
It does make us much more agile and responsive to the needs of our customers and the industry.
It does make us much more agile and responsive to the needs of our customers and the industry.
Gardner: How large is Savvis?
Sanderson: Today, we have about 25,000 servers under management, spread across 50 data centers worldwide, and just to give you an idea, we have approximately 9,000-10,000 automations on a typical day running through HPOO.
As far as the scale and break down of the servers, two-thirds of our servers today are virtualized, and either through the cloud or actual traditional orders that customers are placing. So, we're seeing a lot of growth in the virtual machines (VMs) and the cloud space. This is where things are going for our organization as well as the industry.
Self healing
Our self-healing infrastructure is where we've actually matured our process and recognized the reusability of using a meta-model to drive our HPOO flows that we're writing. We've taken those patterns that we've identified and have been able to build a meta-model that we now have built a user interface in front of.
If somebody wants a new request, they can go in and request that from us, and then we can, within a matter of minutes, produce the data through the user interface and publish a new flow, without ever having to write new operations orchestrations flows.
Gardner: Tell me a little bit about what your future plans to improve both innovation and productivity?
Sanderson: Obviously, the reason we come to conferences like HP Discover is to learn about where HP is going, so we can make sure that we're in alignment, both from our business needs, as well as where the products are going that we use to drive our own solution.
It's critical that we're able to maintain an upgrade path and we're able to support our business. We've already started to plan, based on what we see coming down the path from HP's future infrastructure and even dedicated infrastructure as our business continues to grow. For example, for the Symphony products that we were referring to earlier, we have to break off more-and-more dedicated infrastructure to the scale and capacity that they're growing.
We would have never have anticipated, when we started a few years ago, that a customer would have come to us to say that we want to order 400 VMs or we want to order 1,000 VMs, but customers are coming us today doing that. That's the kind of scale that we're seeing, even just a year into the offerings that we're providing to the marketplace.

To the Editor: Thanks to Rockford College for hospitality
I would like to thank Rockford College for providing me with attractive, safe and affordable housing while serving as an AmeriCorps VISTA member at Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois. Because of Rockford College, I was able to live near work without having to spend a great deal of my stipend on more expensive housing. By providing me with safe and affordable housing, Rockford College allowed me to concentrate on my AmeriCorps VISTA project as the volunteer coordinator for Goodwill.
Not only did Rockford College provide me with excellent housing, but they allowed me to utilize their cafeteria services as well as a number of their on-campus facilities typically reserved for their students. I was able to use their first-class gym and workout facilities at no charge as well as attend many of their wonderful on-campus programs! As a young professional coming to a new town, I have felt welcome and appreciated in Rockford and will fondly remember my time in this wonderful city. Thank you, Rockford College.

need ideas for using the Clover Wonder Knitter
Anyone else using one of these small looms to make drawstrings? THat's what I bought it for and it is wonderful! It will make terrific handles for the next drawstring purses I want to make. My drawstring was made using the 3-prong attachment and worsted yarn. It came out perfect, despite instructions that were very poorly illustrated (I refused to let that stop me). I threaded the finished drawstring thru a casing around the neck of a knitted short poncho-type capelet I just made (my first knit project) and tied it in a bow in front. Very sweet! I am thinking children would love using one. The loom did not come with any patterns, and so far no one on this forum has mentioned this terrific little loom. It's so small, the loom can fit in a coat pocket. Very portable! Please post your ideas for using the loom to make stuffed animals and beaded jewelry, as shown on the package, and everything else we can come up with.
I got one of these for my 6.5 yr old and she is madly in love with it! she is going to make a really really long string and then she wants me to sew it up in a circle and make a rug or blanket out of it! LOL! When she finishes her rug/blanket thing she wants to make a butterfly for her sister!
I never thought of using it for drawstrings or felted handles! (oh oh..... better hide it! LOL!)

I've removed the reference to anything in groups of three as it simply isn't true (eg three blasts on a horn or whistle actually means "my engines are going astern" according to the International Code of Signals). I've also taken out some of the details on SOS, Mayday, EPIRBs as it's repeated in the relevant articles.
I've made a differentiation between distress on land, sea and air. You'll spot that my knowledge is sea, so contributions to the land and air sections especally welcomed! --Canthusus 14:50, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Yes. Merge 126.96.36.199 16:09, 30 November 2005 (UTC)--18.104.22.168 16:09, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
Yes, I agree, Merge. --CeruleanShine 14:44, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
No, I oppose merging. The merged article would be too big, and difficult to navigate. The specialised technical information about marine distress signals merits a separate article. CarolGray 08:45, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
Yes, Merge, I agree. -- --NvR 11:25, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
406 MHz[edit]
The Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon article keeps talking about modern beacons using the frequency of 406 MHz. Why isn't this mentioned in this article? --ZeroOne 00:02, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Mountain Distress[edit]
The recognised mountain distress signals are based on groups of three (six in the UK).
This is misleading, partly due to American bias. Six flashes, sounds, blasts or waves is known as the international distress signal and is recognised right across Europe, whereas in North America (US and Canada) three of anything is often described as the international distress signal. Unfortunately, I can't find a definitive source of information. American web sites claim three, European sites (and books) claim six. I can't comment on US books, since I don't have any. 184.108.40.206 20:16, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Broken Link[edit]
This link: http://www.uscgboating.org/safety/metlife/distress.htm from the bottom, seems to be broken. I don't want to take it out yet in case it is a temporary problem. HeavyD14 (talk) 04:18, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
- Try http://www.uscgboating.org/safety/metlife_archived_9-21-2007/distress.htm as the original version is still 404. --184.108.40.206 (talk) 23:21, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
Inverted flags[edit]
A British flag inverted is much easier to detect than you might think, as British ships will fly a naval flag, not the Union Flag, so one could invert the appropriate naval flag; see Flag of the United Kingdom for the appropriate flags, such as the civil ensign, here. — OwenBlacker (Talk) 14:43, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah; I'm removing that example. The Union Flag is only flown by navy ships and rarely at that. Two examples is enough, anyway. Sabik (talk) 16:20, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Inverted national flags are awkward at best; apparently inverting Poland gives Indonesia. There was also the claim that the Flag of Russia was by tradition inverted during wartime (the standard white top / red bottom orientation is used in peacetime) but I can't find a source for it at the moment. Then again, if kamikaze pilots were flying an inverted flag of Japan, odds are no one would recognise it as a distress condition until after it's too late. --184.108.40.206 (talk) 23:19, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
Small technical inaccuracy[edit]
The text: "transmitting a spoken voice Mayday message by radio over very high frequency (shorter range VHF) channel 16 (156.8 MHz) and/or high frequency (longer range HF) on 2182 kHz..." incorrectly associates the frequency of 2182 kHz as being in the "high frequency" band. In fact, it is in the Medium Frequency band defined as 300 kHz to 3000 kHz. Patrick (talk) 08:11, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
I added Pan-pan before Mayday to provide the correct impression (Pan-pan being more appropriate in most situations over mayday). It is to be stated also in the article that emergencies need to be called correctly to ensure that the people who are most urgently need to be helped get that kind of attention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 08:29, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
Also, in the definition, should it not be better to say: A distress signal is a signal sent to obtain help. It is internationally recognised. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 08:31, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
The ranges of the frequency channels are to be named eg VHF with a typical vessel radio (25Watt with cord of 12m; straight up) only has a range of 16-19 km (ref: Sailing for dummies by JJ Isler http://www.dummies.com/store/product/Sailing-For-Dummies-2nd-Edition.productCd-0471791431.html) High-frequency has a range of thousands of kilometers Inmarsat-C finally has almost unlimited range
Perhaps that High frequency radio could be boosted with the Internet Radio Linking Project. This would reduce the cost of the radio and offer increased protection from emergencies —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 12:52, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Ottawa Folk Festival
Folk festival moves to Lansdowne Park, gets new name
The 2015 edition of the Ottawa Folk Festival will have a slick new name and an urban home to mark the start of its third decade of existence. CityFolk will take place at Lansdowne Park from Sept.

How to Prepare a Whole Dungeness Crab
A Step-by-Step Guide to Cooking, Cleaning and Sectioning a Whole Dungeness Crab
For the best-tasting Dungeness crab, buy it live and either have your fishmonger steam it and clean it for you or take it home and steam it yourself just before you're ready to eat. If you've purchased your crab cooked, store it on ice in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it (ideally no more than 8 hours after purchase). If you purchased your crab live, keep it on ice until you are ready to steam it (ideally no more than about 8 hours after purchase).

What makes the cioppino really delicious to me, besides the delicious seafood themselves, is the cioppino sauce. I absolutely love this sauce. My husband couldn't have enough of it for sure. The sauce is tomato-based flavored by herbs and saffron. The most distinguished flavors are from the bay leaves and saffron, which I absolutely enjoy so much. The seafood are then cooked briefly in the sauce and serve this over pasta or with crusty bread and I seriously guarantee that you will make this again!! This recipe won over Bobby Flay's cioppino in the throw down.
CIOPPINO (4-6 servings)
What you will need:
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 clove garlic, hopped
- 1 lb little neck clams
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- 8 oz mussles, scrubbed
- 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- Pinch of saffron threads
- 8 oz medium shrimp unpeeled and deveined (You can use the peeled and deveined ones as well if you find them more convenient to do so)
- 8 oz cleaned squid tubs, cut into rings
- 8 oz firm-flesh white fish fillets, cut into 2-inch cubes
- 4 oz bay scallops
- 1 lb lump crab meat, preferably Dungeness
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 medium onions, halved and thinly sliced
- 6 cloves garlic, chopped
- 3 bay leaves
- ½ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- ⅓ cup chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1 (28 oz) can peeled tomatoes with juice, crush by hand
- 1 (26 oz) can tomato puree
- 1 Tbsp clam base without MSG (optional)
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp celery salt
- Dash of Worchestershire sauce
- Dash of ground cinnamon
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Red pepper flakes
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, bay leaves, parsley, and basil, and cook for 1 minute: do not brown
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato puree, 3½ cups water, the clam base (if using), brown sugar, celery salt, Worcestershire, and cinnamon, Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 1¼ hours to 2 hours. Remove the bay leaves before serving
- Combine the olive oil, butter, and garlic in a wide, deep pot over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned, 2 minutes. Add the clams and wine, cover, increase the heat to medium-high, and steam until the clams start to open, about 5 minutes. Add the mussels, cover, and steam until the mussels just start to open, about 2 minutes. Discard any clams or mussels that do not open. I did not use any mussels in mine, so you won't see them in the photo :)
- Stir in the cioppino sauce, Worcestershire, and saffron, and bring to a simmer. Add the shrimp and simmer for about 5 minutes. Then gently stir in the squid, fish, and scallops, and simmer until they are all just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Gently stir in the crabmeat during the last minute or so of cooking time

Maya Angelou once said, "there is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."
To that end, we here at Four Walls and a Roof have been thinking deeply about how telling our story allows us to connect with others, to deepen our relationships, and to humanize the work both our work here in Illinois and the work of our colleagues in Cotacachi, Ecuador.
To that end, Four Walls and a Roof Director, Rachel Storm, has--with the generous help of FWAAR interns and volunteers--organized a traveling exhibition of photography capturing the work of the women in Cotacachi who are organizing for gender empowerment and to establish the first battered women's shelter in the area. The exhibition, entitled Carchina* Women had its first premier mid-September at an independent art gallery, Indi Go Artist Co-Op in downtown Champaign. Over $350 cash donations were raised in the opening night alone and gallery visitors were able to get a glimpse of the various activist projects the indigenous women in Cotacachi have organized—from hosting community empowerment workshops to leading rallies and protests.
As exhibition attendees view Carichina Women, we know that we'll be sharing as much as we can of the work of the women in Cotacachi as we continue our efforts to establish a women's shelter in the Andean region of Ecuador. This January, Carichina Women will showcase in the Department of International and Global Studies at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. Thereafter, updates regarding where the exhibition will travel to next can be found on our website.
In addition to this, Four Walls and a Roof has many other efforts underway, including:
* Launching a new user-friendly website designed by web designer, Mukund Lakshman.
* Soliciting small business and corporate sponsorship packages in the Midwest.
* Hosting three event fundraisers designed for women's empowerment.
* Participating in the Annual Take Back the Night Rally on the University of Illinois campus in April.
We thank all of our donors for their continued support. Thank you and happy new year!

One of the reasons I love my subscription to WW Magazine is that it is filled with pages of recipes, organized by difficulty level. Plus, they offer a variety of tastes and cultures in their recipes, and they keep them in-season, which is also nice. I have never made stuffed bell peppers, and had always wanted to, so I was looking forward to making this recipe. Cooking has become a true pleasure of mine, and I wanted to make sure to do lots of things this week that made me feel good about myself and about life. It's all about keeping positive!
This recipe comes from the March/April 2010 issue and can be found on page 84.
WW Magazine's Stuffed Bell Peppers
Nutrition Info: (per serving = 1 bell pepper) 232 calories, 6g fat, 385mg sodium, 27g carbs, 4g fiber, 17g protein, 4 Points.
1/2 lb ground turkey
1 cup cooked brown rice (I substituted couscous)
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup frozen peas (I omitted this because I don't like peas)
1/2 cup crumbled fat-free feta cheese (I used crumbled goat cheese, because I like it better)
2 TBSP tomato paste
3-6 garlic cloves, minced (I used 6, of course)
1/2 tsp dried thyme
4 bell peppers, different colors, tops cut off
1 cup tomato puree (1/4 cup per pepper)
Preheat oven to 350. Cook rice/couscous and let cool. Chop onions and garlic. Cut tops off bell peppers.
In a large bowl, combine turkey, couscous, onion, goat cheese, tomato paste, garlic, and thyme.
Spoon filling evenly between all 4 bell peppers.
At this point, the recipe says that you can freeze the peppers for up to 1 month. I put two of them into a tupperware and into the freezer. If you freeze them, you should thaw them in the fridge overnight before continuing on.
Transfer peppers into a 9×9 pan. I used a loaf pan, because it was deeper, as my peppers were tall and I was only cooking two tonight. Pour tomato puree over peppers.
(I originally put them in a larger pan, but then came to my senses and used the loaf pan).
Add enough water so that the liquid comes up about 1/4 up the sides of the pan.
Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
Uncover and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, until peppers are tender.
Let cool for 5 minutes.
These were piping hot when they came out of the oven, and it was the perfect dinner for this cold, windy night.
These are a definite make-again. Very easy, delicious, and filling. Plus, you get a serving of veggies, a grain, and a lean protein in one simple meal.

Remnant Rub Resist
features one of my favorite Idea-ology products by Tim Holtz.
Inspiration for my tag came from the early signs of spring here in my corner of the world.
Hope you like it!
The Funkie Junkie is generously offering a
$25.00 gift certificate to one lucky CC3C'er.
We're following along with the technique challenges in Tim's Compendium of Curiosities III book and you can obtain an autographed copy here.
Here are a few close ups of my tag...
I used Botanical Remnant Resist rub ons to decorate my tag and two stamps from Tim's Urban Tapestry set. The speckled dot stamp was inked with Archival Forget-Me-Not ink and randomly stamped. The bird on a branch was inked with Walnut Stain distress ink and a black fine point Sharpie adds some definition to his/her eye. The background was created with distress stains and distress inks.
That's all for me today, thanks for the visit!

bacterial or fungus growth on leaves
not totally focused, but you can see the pattern of growth. should i clean, remove, spray, or do nothing?
citrus leaf miner. i believe spinosad is the preferred method to rid them. only brand i've seen is Green Light. i bought one earlier this year at Lowes. there are two different types, same bottle, similar labels, so you have to look at the ingredient and get the one with spinosad.
Yup, Citrus Leaf Miner, which is a huge issue here in California. I use a combination of Spinosad and Volk Oil. Spray starting at the end of July, 3 applications, 3 weeks apart. Spray in the evening, as the sun is going down, and when the little moths come out. Don't spray if it's going to be a scorching hot day, or your leaves will burn. CLM attacks the youngest, most tender leaves. The damage is mainly cosmetic, but if you have a very small, very young tree, it can hinder growth. And Houston is right, you should be able to get both products at Lowe's. Mix them both according to their labels, in one spray container. Here is some info on CLM for you from UC IPM web site. A great site for those of us in California, and one you should definitely bookmark for further use. Also, you might want to bookmark the UC Davis Backyard Orchard web site as well. Excellent info for us growing fruit in California:
Patty S.
Here is a link that might be useful: UC IPM: Citrus Leaf Miner
Well, you'll just get more infected leaves, phucvu. This pest is a little tiny moth. It will continue to lay it's eggs into the young leaves of your citrus trees, and the eggs will hatch, and the larvae will continue to tunnel in the leaves. Plucking the leaves will not stop the infestation. Only the spraying I recommended or a systemic product with Imidicloprid will control your infestation. And, it is not recommended to remove the leaves unless you've got a significant canopy, as your younger trees need those leaves to conduct photosynthesis with. If you've got a big canopy, and you don't like looking at the damaged leaves, then you can remove them, but usually it's better to just leave the leaves on the tree :-) And it looks like your tree is pretty small, so I would stop plucking those leaves and either spray or put down a systemic. If you read the article I provided for you, it gives you the accepted management for CLM. Leaf plucking is not a management option.
Patty S.
Neem oil has shown to be effective in helping control leaf miners. It works, first of all, in deterring the adult from laying the eggs at all. Then it acts on the developing larvae so that no second generation emerges.
Of course, you will have to be cautious about applying the neem in the heat of a bright, sunny day...as with all products we might apply to leaves.
Be mindful of over fertilizing with too much nitrogen, as these insects prefer new, succulent growth. If you have any sucker growth coming from the roots (below the graft) be sure to keep that pruned completely off at all times.
From UC IPM
Here is a link that might be useful: citrus leafminer
Rhizo, I use either Volk or Neem mixed with Spinosad. Works very well for me and most of the citrus growers out here also use this combination. But you're right, unfortunately the timing for spraying unfortunately coincides with our hot summer temps, so you have to be very careful you don't burn your leaves. The little CLM moth is smart - it times itself with the summer flush. Really a nasty, ugly disease, but fortunately, it's mostly cosmetic. Jean, same link I posted above in my post, too. I love UC IPM's site as well as UC Davis Backyard Orchard. So helpful for us home orchardists.

This park is for military only or for those visiting for the graduation of family members from USMC basic training. The RV Park is remote, but you can still hear the wonderful sounds of the Recruits sounding off and shooting at the range. Sites are large and level and the laundry facilities are clean and inexpensive. Concrete level sites with plenty of room in between. I had some problems with the WiFi and the third party tech support was no help. Otherwise, the park was great. We camped at Parris Island RV Park (Military Camping Only) in a Travel Trailer.Undo
Date of Stay: June, 2012 - $15.00
This is a rv park for military active duty, retirees or guests of graduating recruits.Very clean as only a military base can be. Their is no campground host, so you will get a combination to unlock lockers in the bathhouse to get the keys to unlock the utilities. Spaces are level with concrete patio and picnic table. Spaces are quite large. Free Wi-Fi which was in and out during our stay, but very strong near the bath house. Bath house is clean, as well as the laundry facilities.Roads in and out are in great shape.There is a park close by, but children will be bored here. Convenient for visiting Charleston or Savanna and surrounding areas. We would stay again. We camped at Parris Island RV Park (Military Camping Only) in a Travel Trailer.Undo

The recently released Birder's Guide to Travel features a fun article by Susan Myers, one of the world's experts on Asian birds (and author of 2010's Birds of Borneo).
Susan tells us, based on her vast experience throughout the continent, which birds she thinks are the 20 best in Asia–that is, which birds really get her going. Some (Satanic Nightjar, right) I found surprising. Others, (Blue-headed Pitta, below left) slightly more predictable. The pittas are certainly on my bucket list. And then there's the Malaysian Rail-babbler. Holy cow!
If you'd like to know what Susan's other 17 picks are, you'll have to read the article, which is available online, along with the rest of the issue.
Susan and I invite you to discuss her picks and to share your own Top 20 lists. Perhaps you have some different candidates for the list. Or, as Susan suggests at the end of her article, maybe you'd like to share your "Top 20 Birding Sites in Asia" of "Top 20 Most Soul-destroying Birds in Asia". I've never been to Asia, but I imagine there might be a wren-babbler or two on that second list!

Archive for 'dunkman' Tag
The latest colorway of the LeBron 12 is inspired by the power of James' statement tomahawk dunk and equated to the speed and force of a helicopter rotor blade. LeBron James showcases an extraordinary blend of strength, court vision, efficiency and explosive speed while competing at basketball's highest level. His rare skill set requires innovative footwear tailored to the specifications of his multidimensional game. The Nike LeBron 12 "Dunk Force" drops tomorrow, November 11th. Kids' Grade School sizes will also be available for $160 and I think nobody has mentioned the increased price for the Kids' version. By the way, check out the updated release schedule.

|From Nike LeBron X…
For those located in China, Nike will be releasing the "Dunk Force" LeBron 12 with special packaging. Releasing in North America on November 11th, the new Dunkman edition is the next colorway of the LeBron 12. While they are considered to be a General Release, China is set to get a special version. The China LeBron 12 Dunk Force release will come packaged with a matching t-shirt inside a special edition combat style box. This version is exclusive to Nike retail locations throughout China as well as online at nike.cn.Read the rest of this entry »
Yesterday Nike Basketball delivered a solid piece of information regarding the release details for all known LeBron 12 styles. Not a lot has changed, but it's good to get the final confirmation from the most reliable of sources. The Nike LeBron 12 "Dunk Force" release date is pretty much the same as before – November 11th, 2014 – but at this moment it's only for North America, China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Take in the official images presenting the new Dunkmans. Seems like the circled Dunkman logo, which is present on the left shoe, is here to stay. Nice! Let us know how does it rank against previous Dunkman colorways.
|684593-001 Wolf Grey/Reflect Silver-Black-Electric Green
|From Nike LeBron X…
The latest addition into the Dunkman family has been labeled as the "Dunk Force" Nike LeBron 12. Following the "Heart of a Lion" colorway the "Dunk Force" is the next in line to drop and is scheduled to be released on November 11th, 2014 (yes, that's Tuesday). Nike is sticking with the original launch dates for six of seven announced LeBron XII styles with the NSRL being the only one without a new date. The reason why Nike calls these Dunk Force is LeBron James' arm speed during his powerful tomahawk jams that was proven to be faster than the blades of a helicopter in flight. Check out the new detailed pics below.Read the rest of this entry »
The Dunkman theme has become a part of the publicly available part of the LeBron James' signature line. Last season, Nike released a couple of different Dunkman inspired Nike LeBron products including the Mids, which were faintly labeled as Mica Green, the Lows and even the Slides. All of them featured different Dunkman logos (different poses) in different places. Back in the day the Dunkman was all about Mean Green and Gun Metal Grey, however, Nike shifted into other direction once it had become widely available. In my opinion, other experiments have failed apart from the Black and Volt LeBron 7's. The LeBron 9 Elite Dunkman is also noteworthy, but that was a PE. Check out an alternate version of the Dunkman LeBron 11 below, which proudly sports the Dunkman logo on the tongue and on the back of the shoe. It was never released to public and maybe that's why it's better than the GR. It's still not OG-Dunkman good, though. We definitely need better pics too.Read the rest of this entry »
There are more than enough of Soldier 8 colorways to choose from. Nike released a couple of interesting styles… especially the ones themed in dark colors paired with vibrant hues like Bright Mango, Dusty Cactus and the presented Dunkman-esque colorway. The "Volt" Zoom Soldier VIII features a Magnet Grey upper, which based on these pics looks a lot like the original Gun Metal Grey that many LeBron fans wish to return someday. I don't expect anybody to loose it over a Soldier, however, I really like what Nike is doing with the secondary, and at times primary, LeBron James' signature series. Check out the detailed photos below.
|From Nike Zoom LeB…
There are at least seven different colorways of the Nike LeBron 12 coming out this year. The list includes the previously leaked NSRL, Dunk Force, Instinct, Data, Lion Heart, and Six Meridians as well as a brand new Trillion Dollar Man make up. Check out the whole list with pics and dates below. Nike Basketball will keep us busy… that's for sure. The first to drop is the NRSL on October 1st followed by the Heart of a Lion on October 30th.Read the rest of this entry »
From Day 1, LeBron James announced his presence in the league with a thunderous cupped dunk that had people in awe, and thus the legend of the Dunkman was born. This weekend, Nike Basketball brings the popular Dunkman series to the LeBron 11 Low silhouette. Low cut and sleek, the LeBron 11 Low represents an evolution of King James' signature shoe, with a full-length Max Air bag for optimum cushioning and flexibility. Volt accents on the upper, including laces, Max Air unit, outsole and splatter graphic add pop to the Medium Khaki/Medium Olive palette. You can pick up a pair starting this Friday, May 30th at Foot Locker and other Nike Basketball retailers for $170.Read the rest of this entry »

HPCM Agent Download to Package Servers
On one of my NSs, I have HPCM running fine. On another, I'm having difficulty getting the agent packages to full download to the package servers. Most of the downloads reach 99% and never complete. This NS just happens to host a very large number of clients and I'd like to start deploying the agents soon. I'm really lost on this one...
Here are the log file excerpts when the download bombs:
<![CDATA[HTTP request redirected from HTTP://madeupserver.com:8051/Altiris/NS/NSCap/Bin/... to HTTP://madeupserver.com:8051/Altiris/NS/error.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/Altiris/NS/NSCap/Bin/Win32/X86/HPCMS/Agent/L10N/HealthStrings.aspx.de.resx]]>
<![CDATA[Failed to set file time: Host did not report last modified time]]>
There are a number of these resx files in ..\NSCap\Bin\Win32\X86\HPCMS\Agent\L10N. I've tried copying these same files from the working NS to the one thats having the issues, but I get the access denied: file in use error. Stopping all of the services I could think would be applicable, I still wasn't able to copy.
Anyone seen anything like this before? I'd really like to find a way to fix this rather than uninstalling/reinstalling HPCM from the server.
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
I have the same problem but I only have 1 NS. The weird thing is that when the agent is being downloaded to the cache folder of the software delivery, the .resx files are all changed to 2 KB.
when i then copy the .resx files myself to that folder, the installer runs perfectly. This is good to know but I can't do this all the time, as you may understand. Is there a permanent solution for this issue? Or can somebody help me to pass this issue?
thank you
