The chefs at Branch Whiskey Bar make everything from scratch—including butchering their own steak, curing their own bacon, and smoking their own poultry—to put their distinctive stamp on traditional dishes. Classic comfort foods take on inventive transformations to result in such unusual plates as Maine lobster dumplings and macaroni 'n' cheese gratin with Oregon black-truffle oil. On their side of the establishment, the bartenders take the same artisanal approach by infusing their bourbon with fresh local fruit and concocting their own whiskey liqueurs. The full bar features an extensive whiskey list with more than 150 whiskeys from around the world available in single glasses, tasting flights, or directly from Sam Elliot's mustache.
When Jeremy Brown's wife was expecting her second child, the couple realized their small house wasn't going to fit a family of four. Upon moving to a 5-acre fixer upper outside Battle Ground, the pair raised their kids as Jeremy nurtured another project: using those acres to create his own winery.
Since starting with his quaint, Tuscan-inspired tasting room, Jeremy has expanded his grounds to include several large patios and a wood-fired oven in the kitchen, where chefs prepare pizzas and small plates. Live musicians grace Rusty Grape Vineyard's stage Wednesday–Saturday, adding soothing tunes that complement the tasting room's draft beers and rotating selection of wine by the glass and bottle. Available pours might include a 2011 riesling or a complex red wine whose hints of cranberry give way to an oatmeal-cookie finish.
Recently lauded by the Portland Mercury, Record Room invites the vinyl-obsessed and tape-enthused to lounge in its store and peruse the eclectic selection of new and used records and cassettes. Music-lovers can be paired with their favorite efficient producers of eight notes, such as Super Wild Horses, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Mars, Nathaniel Merriweather, and more. Prices range from $1 for used vinyl to $50 for special collectible records, with most records falling into the $10–$20 range, unless they're signed by all four members of Jimmy Carter's famed prog-Viking-metal band. Melody mavens can take spins at different listening stations and email poetic music reviews via Record Room's free WiFi.
The cozy interior of the lounge provides an inviting backdrop for tossing back classics and discovering new favorites. Peruse the creative menu, or ask a friendly bartender for a suggestion that suits the mood. Soothe a sore throat by gargling an Ambassador—a boozy blend of absinthe, St. Germain, grapefruit bitters, and soda with grapefruit ($9)—or quench a dry mouth with a Corpse Reviver ($7.50), featuring brandy, Menta Branca, Fernet Branca, anise tincture, and a lemon twist. Those who would say something like "Give it to me straight, doc" can slam back The Local ($4), an unadulterated sip of Olympia beer plus a shot of house whiskey. Soak up potency with clever eats that include grilled flatbread sandwiches ($7–$9); spiced nuts ($2); and a green-apple, roasted-garlic, queso-fresco, and blue-cheese pizzeta ($6), among others.
Seeking a home for her one-of-a-kind mixed drinks—including lollipop-rimmed martinis—nationally recognized mixologist Lucy opened Mint restaurant in the spring of 2001. Her acclaimed cocktails' popularity grew so quickly that in 2003, she opened an adjacent lounge where patrons could focus on drinks such as avocado daiquiris and jalapeño-and-pineapple margaritas. Along with its selection of 40 signature cocktails, the bistro has been luring patrons in with chef Brian McElmeel's Pan-American-style dishes, which are composed predominantly of local and organic ingredients and influences from the Pacific Northwest, Mediterranean, and Latin America.

Wish I had done this diet years ago, but have never been in the position to afford it. I can't believe in the first week I lost 4 1/2 lbs! I am only 10 days into using the product, but so far haven't found one item of food I don't like. It's hard to pick a favourite. My biggest problem is storing a month's supply of 3 meals a day, at the moment I am living out of the boxes they came in, so am always having to dig around for something I particularly want that night. I am fortunate I love vegetables, I might actually be overdoing the portions there, but can't be that bad when I lost the weight I did. Unfortunately I have to "go off" the plan in about 6 weeks due to going abroad on holiday, my luggage allowance wouldn't let me take food with me, but I hope I can be careful and be good while I am away. I recommend this diet to anyone, if I can do it, anyone can.

Horn's challenge: Leading the NH GOP
Since 2000, the New Hampshire Republican Party has gone through more chairmen than the Red Sox have gone through Opening Day starting pitchers. Each chairman enters with hope and a call for unity, only to leave amid factional divisions, blame and finger-pointing. (Outgoing chairman Wayne McDonald has escaped the finger-pointing because he filled the position temporarily after the resignation of Jack Kimball and made no play for power.)
Horn, a conservative activist and the 2008 Republican nominee for Congress in the Second District, has the energy and fight to give the state Democratic Party a robust challenge during her term. The question is whether her own party will unify behind her.
The state committee voted this past weekend not to pay Horn a salary, which her counterpart in the state Democratic Party enjoys. Horn will be expected to raise massive amounts of money, revive the party's electoral prospects, aggressively challenge the Democrats on a daily basis, be the public face and voice of the party and help protect the presidential primary - all on a part-time, volunteer basis. Without the support of a unified party, it is a project doomed to failure.

Relatives of the majority of people killed in a Colorado movie theater rejected an invitation on Wednesday to attend its reopening later this month, calling it a "disgusting offer."
The parents, grandparents, cousins and widow of nine of the 12 people killed released a letter sent to the theater's owner, Cinemark, in which they criticized the Plano, Texas-based company for not reaching out to the families of victims to offer their condolences. They also said the company refused to meet with them one-on-one without lawyers present.
The families said they were asked to attend an "evening of remembrance" followed by a movie when the Aurora theater reopens on Jan. 17 in invitations sent two days after Christmas.
"Thanks for making what is a very difficult holiday season that much more difficult. Timing is everything and yours is awful," they wrote.
The company had no immediate comment.
Cinemark has been renovating the Aurora theater and plans to re-open it Jan. 17, a move the city's mayor said had widespread support in the community. Gov. John Hickenlooper is among those planning to attend.
The families of some victims have sued Cinemark. The father of the youngest person killed in the shooting, 6-year-old Veronica Moser-Sullivan, is among them. He didn't sign the letter but the girl's grandparents did.
Also Wednesday, prosecutors and defense lawyers said they are ready for a crucial hearing next week in which prosecutors will outline their case against James Holmes, who is charged with killing 12 people and wounding 70 during a midnight showing of the Batman movie "The Dark Night Rises" on July 20.
It starts Monday and is scheduled to run all week. At its conclusion, state District Judge William B. Sylvester will decide if the evidence is sufficient to put Holmes on trial.
During Wednesday's hearing, prosecutors and defense lawyers also discussed with Sylvester a sealed motion from the prosecution that made some reference to witnesses. Sylvester said he planned to rule on it later in the day but wouldn't refer to witnesses by name.
Holmes didn't say anything during the half-hour hearing.
He is charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder and attempted murder and hasn't been asked to enter a plea yet. His lawyers have said he suffers from mental illness.
Next week's preliminary hearing will give the public its first officially sanctioned look at much of the evidence against Holmes.
Sylvester imposed a gag order shortly after Holmes' arrest barring attorneys and investigators from speaking publicly about the case, and many documents have been sealed.
The University of Colorado, where Holmes was a graduate student, has also been tight-lipped about the case.
At prosecutors' request, Sylvester barred the university from releasing records requested by numerous media organizations. Prosecutors argued that the information could jeopardize Holmes' right to a fair trial. Sylvester initially agreed but amended his order last month to allow the release after media organizations objected in court.
Holmes was enrolled in a Ph.D. neuroscience program at the university. Investigators said he began stockpiling firearms and ammunition while taking classes in the spring.
In June, he made threats to a professor and on June 10 filed withdrawal papers after failing a year-end exam, prosecutors said. The next day he saw his school psychiatrist who tried to report him to a campus security committee, according to Holmes' lawyers.

I am really impressed by the service provided by dolphin fitness, not only did the delivery come on time, but the package was handled properly as well and the order was exactly what i wanted with a great price tag as well, the cheapest on the market.

I have bought the L-carnatine and Whey protein, and this is my first purchase from MP, it has met my expectation and i would recomment this to anyone who is looking for quality products, i was with the competitor for some time, which claims to be the best, in my point of view i have seen the same results from this product as well. It is effective and efficient.

Play has been suspended at the 2013 U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club due to the awful weather. As you can see from the photos, things are a bit muddy and fans are doing all they can to stay dry. That includes hiding out in the merchandising tents.
According to our man Nick Menta who is working hard covering the tourney from Merion, only 53 of 156 players actually made it to the course before play was suspended at 8:36 am.
Here are some tweets discussing the weather. Mud photo by Golf Digest:

COBOURG -- A Cobourg business owner says a planned driveway realignment at the soon-to-be new Midtown Mall could be an accident waiting to happen.
At the March 5 council meeting, Wayne Symons, owner of Wayne Symons Auto sales, said moving the existing Division Street entrance and exit closer to the edge of his property and over his existing easement could create serious safety concerns. He said the proposed location for the driveway is far too close to where his company has historically displayed its vehicles for sale.
"If you allow this (plan) to proceed, it will create a very dangerous blind spot," he said. "It does not give exiting traffic visibility to see pedestrian traffic such as walkers, bicycles, scooters or electric mobility devices that are heading south along the sidewalk."
Mr. Symons said he has no opposition to the mall redevelopment.
"The new development will definitely enhance the area, and on a personal note, will bring more potential customers past my front door, increasing sales," he explained.
But should someone get hurt or possibly killed at that spot, he said he is fearful the mall developer, Knightstone Capitol Management Inc., the Town of Cobourg or even his business could get sued for allowing this situation to occur.
At an earlier meeting, planning and development services director Glenn McMcGlashon explained repositioning the driveway will allow unobstructed left turns into both Midtown Mall and the plaza across the street, which includes The Avid Reader. The change is part of a package to address existing traffic congestion in the mall area and also includes conversion of the current, staggered Division Street intersection into a 'T' crossing at Monroe and Division streets.
Luis Correia, Knightstone's director of planning and development, said a proposed reduction in width to the opening of the Division Street driveway will enhance pedestrian safety. In addition, a small curb along the northwest border of Mr. Symon's property will alleviate any damage to his vehicles, Mr. Correia said.
Mayor Gil Brocanier said Town staff, the developer and Mr. Symons have met, trying to resolve issues over the driveway and the sidewalk. The access points have been reviewed by transportation consultants.
"The sidewalk does taper a bit (at the proposed Division Street driveway) and it's been determined that it's reasonable to maintain a 1.5 metre width," said Mayor Brocanier.
Councillor John Henderson said if the proposed driveway alignment doesn't work as well as planned or becomes problematic, other options may be looked at in the future.
Municipal director of public works, Bill Watson, added the Town will also get "another kick at the can," when the lease for the plaza's Pioneer Gas Bar expires in 2016.

At the top of my audio meters, above a label that says "Master" there is a grayed out label that says "front left" ...what does that mean? In the tutorials I have watched this box gives a choice of mics.

If you are still considering to do the business with ValueBasket please read the reviews placed by others. These are like twins. Here is my story. The phone was ordered 4/07/2013 (with "in stock" note next to the listed item), and my bank account was charged immediately. Than the order was delayed for a ridiculous excuses like "re-stocking" (with this phone still showed as "in stock" for newcomers) and "order backlog", until 17/07/2013 (9th business day, order still in "backlog"). When I cancelled it and new saga began. They would say that refund "from their side" should take 2-5 business days. This is not true. It is 7th business day now and my refund request is still "will be processed". Yes, their responses are polite. They will never run out of excuses. But do not let yourselves to be fooled. They will take your money and use them for some business (I suspect) not quite related to the selling the electronics. I wonder who are these 'happy customers" leaving good feedback on other sites. By the way, while still struggling with notorious ValueBasket, few days ago I got the same phone for the same price from other online retailer with better reputation and attitude.

Every color has many aspects, many variations, and many meanings. Red, for instance, can mean passion, or suffering, or anger. How are these aspects represented in works of art from Titian and Bosch to Matisse and Warhol? Painters use colors to convey a message as much as they do for surface appeal. In design and fashion, color is omnipresent as well, but incredibly varied in its significance. This fascinating book focuses on the most important colors in art--red, blue, yellow, black, white, green, and gold--and looks at them through some 200 beautifully printed works.

History of 7-Eleven
Early days
7-Eleven is the world's largest operator, franchisor, and licensor of convenience stores, with more than 21,000 stores in 18 countries. The largest licensee is Seven Eleven Japan. 7-Eleven serve approximately six million customers each day. 7-Eleven is known internationally for Big Gulp fountain soft drinks, Big Bite hot dogs, Slurpee beverages, and Café Select fresh brewed coffee.
The company started by John Jefferson Green 1927 as Southland Ice Company in Dallas. In addition to selling blocks of ice to refrigerate food, an enterprising ice dock employee began offering milk, bread and eggs on Sundays and evenings when grocery stores were closed. This new business idea produced satisfied customers and increased sales, and convenience retailing was born!
However the great depression in 1931 plunged Southland into bankruptcy. Despite the financial confusion, profits from the Southland Stores continued to climb, and with the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, ice and beer sales surged.
Rapid expansion
By 1945 Southland owned stores scattered over north-central Texas, operating from 7 in the morning to 11 at night, seven days a week. In 1946 the firm Tracey-Locke, commissioned to create a new name, chose '7-Eleven' to emphasize the firm's commitment to long operating hours to serve customers better.
At the end of the 1950s, John Thompson began to introduce 7-Eleven stores outside of Texas, in Virginia, Maryland, and eastern Pennsylvania. In reaction to mass migration to the suburbs, Southland opened more suburban stores.
Through a new computer inventory system, 7-Eleven was able to pinpoint its strengths and discover that single purchase items were its best sellers. In 1999, company changes its name to 7-Eleven, Inc.

I should know the answer to this, but I don't....
Can Death Knights use Runeforging on BoA Heirloom weapons? I'd love to level my DK with an Arcanite Reaper lookalike, but it may not be worth giving up Runeforging. If not...are there plans to "fix" this so that Runeforge enchants don't transfer along with the item?

CONNERLY: Presidential payback
Obama's 'fairness' is actually the opposite
As he prosecutes his proclaimed defense of America's middle class in his campaign for re-election, President Obama often invokes the theme of "fairness." Everyone deserves a "fair shot," he says, in which everyone plays by the same rules. It isn't fair, he argues, for Warren Buffett to pay just 15 percent in federal income taxes while his secretary pays 30 percent. Mr. Buffett and other "millionaires and billionaires" should be required to pay their "fair share."
The principle of fairness is a powerful one in American culture. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Obviously, the president realizes this fact. Unfortunately, the president has been less than consistent in distributing his passion for fairness to other public policy areas, especially to the issue of affirmative-action preferences in college admissions.
Frank Ricci is a firefighter for the city of New Haven, Conn. He is white. Mr. Ricci and 19 other firefighters - 18 white and one Hispanic - passed a test for promotions to management, but city officials invalidated the results of the test because none of the black firefighters who passed the examination had scored high enough to receive consideration for promotion. Mr. Ricci and his colleagues filed a lawsuit alleging that it was "unfair" for the city to take such action, especially after Mr. Ricci had studied extensively for the exam and paid for special coaching to overcome dyslexia. The Obama administration's Justice Department supported the action of the city.On June 29, 2009, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled 5-4 in favor of Mr. Ricci and his colleagues.
As a high school senior in 2008, Abigail Fisher applied for admission to the University of Texas at Austin. Ms. Fisher, who is white, was denied admission because she was not in the top 10 percent of her high school class, which would have granted her automatic admission, nor was she accepted under the university's race-conscious "diversity" considerations. Ms. Fisher thinks her rejection was unfair, and the U.S. Supreme Court will hear her case this fall. The Obama administration has supported the University of Texas in the lower courts.
The Obama administration also has issued "diversity guidelines" that essentially advise colleges and universities on how to select students based on race to achieve "diversity." Many Americans consider such practices to be unfair.
It also is noteworthy that the president signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which establishes an Office of Minority and Women Inclusion in the Securities and Exchange Commission. This office is regarded by many as an agency that will promote "inclusion" of minorities and women to the exclusion of white males. If so, it will hardly deal in fairness.
Failure of the Obama Justice Department to prosecute the New Black Panthers for threatening voters in a Philadelphia polling place or to take action against the Panthers for offering a bounty for the capture of George Zimmerman are also incidences of unfairness.
The pattern that can be clearly portrayed is that when it comes to race, the Obama administration applies the principle of fairness in a radically different manner than it suggests with respect to the issue of taxation. The "same rules for everybody" and "fair play" for all are conspicuously missing.
It is ironic that a man who was reputed to be the first "post-racial" president in American history has presided over one of the most race-conscious administrations in modern times. This has occurred because Mr. Obama has been able to inoculate himself from this fact by leaving issues that directly relate to race to agencies within his administration, especially the Departments of Education and Justice, rather than addressing the issues himself. In addition, the high profile of other matters, such as Obamacare and the federal deficit, has overshadowed lesser-profile issues such as race.
Fairness is a foundational principle of our nation. That is why it has been invoked not only by the president but by the presumptive Republican nominee for president as well. It is important, however, that the American electorate not be seduced into believing that the principle is being observed when it is not, especially with regard to a sensitive issue such as race.
Ward Connerly is a former regent of the University of California and president of the American Civil Rights Coalition.

Two Iowa Senate democrats say loyalty to Gronstal trumps support for marriage amendment
on Feb 02, 2011 at 10:00 amA handful of Senate Democrats who would be the deciding votes on an amendment to ban marriage equality said Tuesday they won't join minority Republicans to force a vote this year.
Barring a change of heart, that means the effort to allow a public vote on a constitutional amendment to ban the freedom to marry is dead in the Iowa Legislature this session.

Eric Hartley: Still waiting for 'the real thing'
on Jan 31, 2011 at 11:30 amWhile many gay or lesbian couples from Maryland got married in Washington, D.C., after that city legalized same-sex marriage last year, Barry Kessler and David Hankey have waited. The Arnold couple was a bit wary of a D.C. marriage. The Maryland attorney general says the state can recognize out-of-state marriages, but what if it didn't for some reason?
But the real reason they're waiting is less legal and more profound: They want "the real thing," as Hankey put it.

Charlottetown Transit System
A private motorcoach company runs public transportation in this tourist town
"We're going to go out to the telephone company and we're going to say, 'All right, there is the electric company and the telephone company, we think the telephone company can get more employees on the trolley for Tuesday next week than the electric company could and we are going to have a competition.'" He continues, "We're going to start to get this competition, to get people to take the trolley and to say if you don't want to take the trolley five days a week, just do a little." He adds, "We could have buttons made up, TTT buttons — Take the Trolleys Tuesday — just like casual days."
Providing for Private and Public
Cassidy attributes the success of running Charlottetown Transit System from the standpoint of a private operator, "The entrepreneurial nature that we are bringing." He pauses a moment, and relates a story that illustrates this. "I can remember, oh my goodness, that first day we were going to start our route." He continues, "On September 30, oh my, it might have been six o'clock in the evening, and I looked across. We were coming in this mall area where the route was. My entrepreneurship class at the university was selling hot dogs as a fundraiser and I told the bus driver to stop.
"I had two ladies and two children on board and I asked, 'Would you like a hot dog?' And they looked at me, they said, 'We would love to have a hot dog.' I asked, 'What would you like on it?'
"I had the bus driver stop and I got six hot dogs — four for my customers, one for my driver and one for myself." He asks, "Do you know what? Those ladies never forgot that." He reiterates, "It's that down-home style of marketing and entrepreneurism to make sure you drive your ridership."
Of transit, Cassidy stresses, "The transit system is heavy, heavy in maintenance. Maintenance has to be a top priority." He says, "Customer service for the drivers is very, very important, but reliable equipment that can go out of our terminal each and every morning at 6:30 is paramount and the only way you can have that is with a good maintenance program." He adds, "Thank goodness I could rely on my maintenance program of the motorcoaches. I would hate to ever start this business just as transit, brand new."
He quickly adds, "And understanding transportation, understanding logistics, understanding the customer is No. 1 and how important customer service is, that's what you can bring from the motorcoach business." He says, "Motorcoach is reliable, modern equipment with good customer service."
He maintains that transportation is like any other business venture. "You have to be passionate, you have to believe in your dream and even though there are naysayers no matter what you do, you have to stay positive and you have to make sure your staff is positive."
"It's one customer at a time and you have to get so excited if you get one new customer because guess what? We're going to get a new customer again tomorrow and we're going to build the business."

- In one of the most closely watched union votes in the U.S. in decades, workers at the Volkswagen (VLKAY, VLKAF) plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., voted against joining the United Auto Workers union.
- A win would have marked the first time the UAW had been able to organize a foreign-owned auto plant in the U.S., as well as a turnaround in sentiment in the traditionally anti-union South.
- The UAW's loss likely will hurt plans to organize other auto plants in the South; two other German-owned plants, Mercedes-Benz (DDAIF) in Alabama and BMW (BAMXY, BAMXF) in South Carolina, as well as a Nissan (NSANY, NSANF) plant in Mississippi, have been among its top targets.
- The UAW enjoyed some unusual help - the cooperation of Volkswagen management and the aid of Germany's IG Metall union - yet it still lost; "If the union can't win [in Chattanooga], it can't win anywhere."

- They've been offering discounts in order to clear an increasing amount of unsold inventory in the U.S., which in January reached the highest level since August 2009.

- European car sales dropped for the sixth year in a row in 2013, slipping 1.7% to 11.9M vehicles, the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association says. That's the worst performance since ACEA began tracking the data in 2003.
- However, the moderate recovery in sales that began in H2 accelerated in December, with new-car registrations climbing 13% to 906,294 vehicles.
- Despite the pick-up, industry executives remain cautious. "The European car market is starting the year in its best condition for two or three years," said Yann Delabrière, the CEO of components supplier Faurecia. "But it is too early to say we have a clear vision of the turnaround." (PR)

Project by KoryK | posted 1144 days ago | 2769 views | 9 times favorited | 16 comments |
I posted this one on my old page, but it is one of favorites and I would like to have it on this page. This was the first project that made the pattern from a picture I found last year. I really like making this kind of art, because I can really use my imagination and I'm not restricted by the norm. Everyone knows what a tiger or elephant looks like, but who knows what a dragon looks like? This piece was made from blood wood, walnut, mahogany, ebony, poplar, cherry, curly maple, and yellow heart. I really liked the way the body turned out, I wanted it to look like armor so I used a round burr to make small indentions on the wood. I then sanded it with a very small flap sander with a rotary tool. Hope yall like it and if you posted a comment on my old page, thanks. If it's your first view, thanks for looking.

Rangers play for now
More so, Staal is happy to enter a season symptom-free.
He missed the first three months of last season and didn't make his season debut until the Winter Classic on Jan. 2, 2012 due to a concussion Staal suffered Feb. 22, 2011 when he was hit by his brother, Eric, at Carolina. Marc Staal played through the rest of the 2011-12 season but later admitted he was not at full strength.
And he said Tuesday he didn't really regain his form until right before last season's playoffs. Staal's minutes were limited for a long time after returning in the outdoor game and he never regained his spot on the top pair with Girardi.
Based on training camp, it appears McDonagh will again be partnered with Girardi.
"Yeah, it does feel good," Staal said of coming into the season healthy. "The way it ended two years ago and having as long a break as I had going into last season, it was tough to feel physically and mentally ready to play at a high level."

Posted By Rich Miller On April 28, 2009 @ 10:23 am In Convergence | No Comments
Last week HP unveiled its BladeSystem Matrix [1], an integrated data center infrastructure offering that will compete with Cisco's Unified Computing System. But what about Cisco's focus on a unified fabric connecting the LAN and storage networks using Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and lossless Ethernet?
We recently had a conversation with Jieming Zhu, distinguished technologist at HP StorageWorks, about HP's view of FCoE and the adoption of converged network technologies. Here are some of Zhu's comments from that discussion:
On HP's roadmap: "(HP Chairman and CEO) Mark Hurd has clearly indicated his resolve that we'll play even bigger in the networking space. We think FCoE fits well into our adaptive infrastructure vision. HP is in a very good position to bring benefits to customers and ease the migration pain. ProCurve [2] (Networking) is the hidden jewel that HP never exposed that much. It's number two in the enterprise LAN market. We've revamped the whole line to play more strongly in the data center networking market. Down the road, ProCurve will play a much bigger role."
On the potential of FCoE: "It is quite significant technology. FCoE will eventually deliver compelling value for data center customers. It can cut quite a bit of power used for input-output connectivity. Another benefit we see is consolidation. The boundary between servers and networks and storage will disappear, and the true vision of virtualization and dynamic provisioning will become a reality."
On convergence and corporate culture: "With the convergent network we're going to face a converged management team. Technology issues are always easier to solve than management issues and political issues. This FCoE technology has the potential to trigger this type of turmoil. Who'll be making decisions? It depends who you ask. With the networking guys and storage guys, you may get a very different answer than from the server guys. It really hasn't been settled."
On the pace of adoption: "FCoE is becoming a standard. That doesn't prevent vendors from making products pre-standard. The overall adoption pace is anybody's guess. This is not trivial at all. We're going to implement a new tunneling protocol. In the early days of Fibre Channel it took many years of work by many vendors (to be broadly adopted). Like any new data center technology, it will take years to mature and go mainstream, especially in this economy. People will be leery of adopting new technology in this environment."
For additional perspectives from HP on FCoE, see these articles:

These cigars are a great low cost cigar that have a nice favor, and often those around comment on how nice the odor of the cigar smoke smells.

Best knot???
I'm reconfiguring my ring suspension system by replacing the webbing loops at the ends of my hammock with 6mm prusik cord from strapworks. To these loops I'll be attaching my rings. The cord is rated at 6000 lbs. I'm also replacing my straps that attach to the tree with Strapworks webbing rated at 3500 lbs. To tie the prusik cord loop at each end of the hammock I was going to use a double fisherman's knot. Does that meet the approval of my more learned colleagues? I suppose I should add, this is being attached to a Claytor Jungle hammock.
Thanks, Miguel |

High turnover and customer-oriented positions within the hospitality industry require a special breed of employees in order to be successful. Devine Group hiring solutions help hospitality firms discover and develop the ingredients necessary within a potential hire for success down the line. With clients ranging from restaurants to large hotel chains, The Devine Group has refined our service offerings so that hospitality industry-based organizations can improve their hiring and development processes, reduce turnover and related expenses, and in turn, increase positive customer experiences. Devine Group solutions that are recommended for the hospitality industry include:
Devine Hourly Selection is an online screening tool for high turnover hourly positions such as call center agents, retail workers, food service employees, hotel staff, manufacturing personnel and medical assistants.
Devine Hourly Selection measures the potential for behaviors such as poor attendance, low productivity or theft violations within your prospective hires, so that you can avoid costly mistakes of hiring the wrong person for the job, and increase the ability to retain the best employees possible.
The Devine Inventory Hiring report provides a detailed summary of the degree to which a candidate's assessment results match the relevant job "Success Profile". Results are presented graphically on a range of 33 behaviors that suggest whether or not a candidate would be an appropriate fit. Devine Inventory Hiring also provides follow-up interview questions that help hiring managers determine whether certain "low-scoring" behaviors are caused by hard-wired attributes of a candidate, cultural influences or temporary life circumstances.
Devine Inventory HiringPremium is a highly customizable report that can help your company accurately predict which prospective hires will be successful in specific roles by condensing the 33 behaviors measured by The Devine Inventory into rated competencies that are very specific to your organization. An overall applicant score is provided with the primary and contributing competencies being displayed in an aesthetically pleasing, abbreviated and easy-to-read graphical format.
Help your employees attain the essential skills needed to conduct a successful structured behavioral interview with InterviewRight, an interactive web-based training program that examines the key points of high-quality interviewing. Our online training approach is designed to make the most efficient use of your employees' valuable time and teach them how to make a sound investment when faced with a hiring situation—by making it a priority to carefully and appropriately select an organization's most valuable asset: its people.
Devine Inventory Culture is the report for executive managers who wish to know their staff's overall strengths and weaknesses—and turn them into opportunities.
The Devine Inventory Culture report helps you determine if your existing culture will support your organization's productivity goals by comparing the behavioral tendencies of existing employees and job applicants with those of your organization's top performers.
The Devine Applicant Qualification System (AQS) is a one-stop hiring solution for small- and mid-sized businesses. Devine AQS allows companies to seamlessly track candidates through the entire hiring process—from the moment they apply for a job until the offer is accepted.
With Devine AQS, your organization is able to house job postings, candidate resumes, assessment results and interview responses in one central location, encouraging communication and information sharing between decision makers and locations.

Cole's Chop House--Napa
I am having dinner there on Friday and would love to hear any and all feedback. Also, is there any particular dress code?
There is a humorous photo in this week's Bohemian newpaper, our local independent paper, of the gigantic statue of a serving wench in bronze . . . be sure to bring your camera. The Bohemian also said the food was great. Try to pick up a Bohemian while you're in Napa as a souvenir - they're in all the cafes, etc.
