Door Reversal
In some installations, reversing the door swing allows
for more convenient access to stored items. Both
doors can be reversed on freezer door models and the
fresh food door is reversible on freezer drawer models.
1. Remove door(s) (see page 4).
2. Transfer cabinet plugs and cabinet
screws to opposite side of cabinet.
• Remove cabinet plugs with flat
blade of screwdriver tip wrapped
in masking tape.
• Remove center mullion screws
with 5⁄16" hex head screwdriver
3. Transfer door stops from bottom edge of fresh food
door and freezer door, if applicable, to opposite
side of door edge.
• Use a Phillips screwdriver
for removal and installation.
4. Install handles (see below
and page 7).
5. Reinstall the door(s).
Remove and discard handle packaging and tape.
Handle design varies from refrigerator to refrigerator.
Please reference the appropriate instructions for your
model below.
Fresh Food Handles
Standard Front Mount Handle
Materials Needed:
• Phillips screwdriver
• 5⁄16" hex head driver
To Install:
1. Remove 1⁄4" hex head screws from
door face with hex head driver, and
Phillips screw from top of door.
• If reversing door, remove door
plugs from opposite side of door and insert in
screw holes.
2. Align handle holes with screw holes on
door face and secure with two door face
screws from step 1.
To avoid possible injury and damage to property:
• Place doors on a nonabrasive surface protected by
towels or rugs while working directly on doors.
Note: If not installed, the handle is located in the
interior of the fresh food section or attached to the
back of your refrigerator.
4. Ensure the door handle is snug to the
door panel.
To Remove:
Reverse installation procedure.
Power On Diagnostics
When the icemaker is first connected to power and if thermistor temperature is 50°F (10°C) or higher,
the control will perform a Power On test before entering the freeze cycle.
The test consists of the following:
• Turn on the motor until it reaches home the next time.
• Turn on the water valve for 1/2 second.
• Tum on the heater for 1/2 second.
• Verify that the feeler arm was in the "in" and then in the "out" position.
• Verify that the motor was not in the home position and then in the home position.
• Verify that the motor does not remain on after being turned off.
• Proceed to the freeze cycle.
Note:The power on test will only add 1/2 second of water, which will not overflow the mold with a normal fill,
but may cause a small cube when the refrigerator is first started.
If the temperature is below 50°F (10°C), the control will power up normally.
If in the home position, the control will enter the freeze cycle.
If the motor is not home, the control will enter the harvest cycle but bypass water fill to avoid overfilling the mold.
Service Diagnostics
During the first 15 seconds that power is first applied to the icemaker,
the Service Diagnostic Test mode may be entered.
The service mode is entered by pushing the feeler arm from the "out" position to the "in" position
and back again 3 times and only 3 times within 15 seconds.
Note: If the icemaker has already started a harvest cycle and the arm is moving,
it may be impossible to properly move the arm and enter the service mode without allowing it to reset and powering up again.
The service diagnostic mode consists of a harvest cycle followed by a water fill.
The harvest cycle is entered immediately, regardless of icemaker temperature or arm position.
While in the harvest cycle in the service mode, the heater will remain on for a minimum of 20 seconds.
The water fill cycle will initiate the first fill (5.1 seconds) without waiting for the mold to "prechill".
Only one water fill occurs during the service mode, whether the thermistor has reached 39.2°F (4°C) or not.
The icemaker will exit the service diagnostic test on its own and enter the normal freeze cycle.
Sounds like you have a FIP, (Foamed-In-Place), door liner. I've only had to replace a door gasket on a FIP door one time and probably will not every do it again.
You have to cut the old gasket in four places, (in the middle on each side), and carefully pull the gasket lip straight out from under the plastic liner, being careful not to pull up and break the liner away from the foam.
They you have to make sure the channel is clear of any remaining foam particles with a putty knife about 1/2" in all the way around.
Then the you have to get the new gasket installed, this was the nightmare part. Says to insert opposite diagonal corners first then other two diagonal corners. First two-no problem, third corner-no problem, forth corner - OHHH!!!!! What B!TCH!!!!! It was a real fight to get it to stretch out enough without tearing the gasket to get it over and under the lips of the liner.
Concur with Brother Willie on the gasket replacement. Attempt only as a last resort. I think if you follow the instruction sheets on those they want you to remove the door to replace the gasket.
FIP gasket aren't that bad to do. The replacement gaskets have a had plastic edge that snaps into channel between liner and door panel. After removing the old gaskets I put silicone caulking where the new gasket will snap into the liner. Two problems with FIP door gasket replacement:
1. If you don't put adhesive the gasket tend to slide, especially on the hinge side where the door cams constantly slide up and down
2. The gaskets often come in too small and need to be stretched, I've done plenty that go on no problem and I have had a lot that seem about 1/4 too short.
Basically the original gaskets are better and should only be changed if there are significant tears, splits or missing magnets.

Organizers of the World Freestyle Kayaking Championship in 2013 ... have yet to find a long-term solution for business owners and residents there.
BalsamWest FiberNet, a company jointly owned by Macon County businessman Phil Drake and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, has already dug in fiber along the railroad tracks traversing the steep-walled gorge. It is part of the 225 miles of fiber built and owned by BalasmWest in this section of Western North Carolina. BalsamWest currently provides the Nantahala Outdoor Center, located along the railroad tracks, with high-speed connectivity to the outside world. The service isn't inexpensive ...
Ten thousand visitors a day are predicted to descend into the gorge Sept. 2-8, 2013, including reporters from around the world, to see the ICF Freestyle World Championships. And before that, the kayaking Junior World Cup will take place in September 2012 — with 5,000 to 6,000 people a day expected.
Without broadband, reporters will be unable to cover the competition, which has a major following in Europe.
During the search for serial bomber Eric Robert Rudolph, when dozens of news organizations from across the nation and beyond swooped into the region to cover the manhunt, only one news organization had the technology to communicate from the Gorge area. ...Read the full article

Decreased skeletal muscle mass is a prevalent condition among the elderly, and an important cause of disability and functional decline. The declines in muscle mass associated with aging may be related to alterations in specific kinds of growth factors in the muscle. Elderly hip fracture patients often have significant decreases in muscle mass. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether an exercise program can induce changes in muscle growth factors that are associated with increases in muscle mass and strength in elderly hip fracture patients.

Mississippi Lawmakers Consider Education Changes
Posted: 1:07 PM Jan 26, 2013
Reporter: The Associated Press
Charter schools, though they have dominated the first three weeks of the Mississippi Legislature, are only the beginning.
House and Senate lawmakers are considering numerous other measures to change K-12 education, many of which have never been debated before. Some proposals are being pushed by Republican Gov. Phil Bryant, who spent months calling for 2013's Legislature to focus on education.
Ideas are circulating to pay for more 4-year-olds to attend preschool, give tax breaks for people who donate money for children to attend private schools, require children to read on grade level before passing third grade, and tinker with the public school funding formula.
Thursday, a Senate committee passed a bill to require county school districts that now elect superintendents to appoint them, except where voters opt out.

I'm not doing so well here at the moment, (probably need to post more music!) but my song 'You're my hero' has reached over 200,000 hits today so it's a happy day!!! It's here if anyone wants a listen!!! [link removed]
Thanks for linking. I guess you are family of musicians. Beautiful song and performance!
Funny how the 'I've had 100/1000/feature etc sales notice or something' are allowed. Never mind. With my huge portfolio of work it must be causing a few frayed nerves
It is actually unusual to have over 200,000 views of an original song on youtube and it might have been of interest to others, shame.
I wonder how long it will take for this notice to be removed.

Thank you both, it was a little surprising the way it just took off but I have retagged it 3 times and each time it has made a HUGE difference, I think tagging and this might apply in Audiojungle too, is extremely important.

U.S. Army Says No to Windows 7, Yes to Vista Upgrade
Jason Mick

Sender E-mail
The Army has decided to upgrade all of its computers, like those shown here (at the NCO Academy's Warrior Leaders Course) to Windows Vista. It says the adoption will increase its security and improve standardization. It also plans to upgrade from Office 2003 to Office 2007. As many soldiers have never used Vista or Office '07, it will be providing special training to bring them up to speed.
(Source: U.S. Army)
Army will upgrade all its computers to Vista by December
For those critics who bill Microsoft's Windows Vista a commercial failure for
failing to surpass Windows XP
in sales, and inability to capitalize in the netbook market, perhaps they should reserve judgment a bit longer. Just as
Windows 7 hype
is reaching full swing in preparation for a October release, the U.S. Army announced that like many large organizations, it will
wait on upgrading to Windows 7
. However, unlike some, it is planning a major upgrade -- to Windows Vista.
The U.S. Army currently has 744,000 desktop computers, most of which run Windows XP. Currently only 13 percent of the computers have upgraded to Windows Vista, according Dr. Army Harding, director of Enterprise Information Technology Services.
It announced in a
press release
that it will be upgrading all of the remaining systems to Windows Vista by December 31st. The upgrade was mandated by a Fragmentary Order published Nov. 22, 2008.
In addition to Windows Vista, the Army's version of Microsoft's Office will also be upgraded. As with Windows, the Army is forgoing the upcoming new version -- Office 2010 -- in favor to an upgrade to Office 2007. Currently about half of the Army's computers run Office 2003 and half run Office 2007.
The upgrade will affect both classified and unclassified networks. Only standalone weapons systems (such as those used by nuclear depots) will remain unchanged. Dr. Harding states, "It's for all desktop computers on the SIPR and NIPRNET."
Army officials cite the need to bolster Internet security and standardize its information systems as key factors in selecting a Windows Vista upgrade. Likewise, they believe that an upgrade to Office 2007 will bring better document security, and easier interfacing to other programs, despite the steeper learning curve associate with the program (which is partially due to the new interface, according to reviewers).
Sharon Reed, chief of IT at the Soldier Support Institute, says the Army will provide resources to help soldiers learn the ropes of Windows Vista. She states, "During this process, we are offering several in-house training sessions, helpful quick-tip handouts and free Army online training."
The U.S. Army will perhaps be the largest deployment of Windows Vista in the U.S. Most large corporations keep quiet about how many Windows Vista systems versus Windows XP systems they've deployed. However, past surveys and reports indicate that
most major businesses
have declined to fully adopt Windows Vista. Likewise, U.S. public schools and other large government organizations have only, at best, partially adopted of Vista.

RE: Missing the point
You are worse than he is.
Do any of you people posting have any idea what you're talking about? It's like reading nothing but blowhards that have no clue, but like to hear themselves post. Shut up if you don't know what you're talking about!
To clear up all the misinformation posted by people who obviously are not in the computer industry, we'll start with x86 and the Itanium.
In fact, the original Itanium DID run x86 code in hardware. Intel decided to remove it and use software emulation.
The Alpha is no longer being developed, but was 64-bits from when it was conceived. It is also a very overrated, but still decent instruction set. People who have never used an Alpha, and know essentially nothing about it like to post how much better the instruction set was than everything else. In fact, it was not. They made extremely expensive processors, and spent enormous amounts of money on hand-coding a lot of the logic, making the implementation effective in some cases. In reality, it was always swapping places with IBM's POWER, so was never clearly a superior product. Well, for long anyway. They leapfrogged each other. It was a horrible thing to work with though, and got hotter than Hell. It's still made, mostly for OpenVMS, but HP is not doing further development on it.
Intel has certainly not discontinued Itanium, or even deprecated it. They continue to gain market share every year with the Itanium, and HP has many operating systems that use the Itanium, and are very committed to it. They did just delay the Tukwila again though, which is an ongoing problem, since their current processors are still based on 90 nm technology. But, it is still be developed, and still gaining market share.
Most of all, you people have to stop talking about 64-bits and x86-64 like they are the same thing!!!!!!!!!!! 64-bits is not very important, but x86-64 is not just a move to 64-bits. Were it so, the stupid posts about numbers exceeding 32-bit values would actually not be stupid, but sadly, they are. x86-64 got rid of a lot of baggage, like MMX, x87 instruction set, memory segmentation (which was still around on the 386 instruction set, but since the largest segment was 32-bits, it was transparent if desired, an no one used it), etc... It also added things, like eight more registers, which can have an important impact on performance, especially with L1 caches getting slower (4 clock cycles on the Nehalem). There are disadvantages to 64-bit addressing as well, and it's why the 8088 had memory segmentation in the first place (most people think it was to protect applications from each other, but it was not, and was never used that way). On the 8088(or 8086), you'd just have to specify a 16-bit address, and based on the values in the appropriate segment address, you'd generate a real 20-bit address (Intel used some weird shifting of the index register, and then added it to the offset address). So, you'd save memory by not having to specify the 20-bit address. You'd have to update your index registers, of course, when you needed something outside of the 64K segment you were in, but memory at that time was very small, and it was considered a worthwhile trade-off.
64-bit addresses also consume more memory, and lower code density. Of course, we have so much memory now, it does not really matter. Well, except, it lowers performance, because we have caches now, and lower code density means you hit a slower cache, or main memory more often. And caches can not simply be increased in size to compensate for this ugly side-effect, since the larger a cache is, the slower it is, all other things being equal, so you have to add more wait states (for example, the Conroe's L2 cache was one clock cycle faster than the Penryn's because of the additional size. The Nehalem's is five clock cycles faster then the Penryn's; that's why they made it only 256K - it's also faster because it's not shared between cores anymore).
So, if there were no changes besides going to 64-bit, you'd generally expect x86-64 to be slower due to lower code density - unless you were using more memory, or somehow using very large numbers. For most applications, it would be slower though. That's why you see uneven performance. The enhancements, like 16 registers can improve performance, but the lower code density can lower it. Whichever is more relevant within that workload will dictate whether you see an increase or decrease in performance.
Oh, and DEC did not invent the RISC concept, or even come close to it. Why do you pass this misinformation on, when you clearly have no idea what you're talking about! It's infuriating when idiots do this, and then someone repeats it because they don't realize you're an idiot.
CDC was the first to create a true RISC processor, in a machine called the 6600. It used a 10 MHz processor attached to 10 barrel processors. It could not even load or store data, all this was done by the barrel processors that kept it fed.
IBM also released the RT PC long before the Alpha, which, of course, was a RISC processor. Berkeley might also get offended by you saying Alpha proved RISC's superiority. But, I'll let you do that research on your own, assuming you actually dislike passing on misinformation. There's no evidence of that though.

05-08-2012, 03:33 PM #23Ummm... Toyotas are built in the USA. GM has assembly plants outside the USA. ALL of the GM assembly plants use parts that have been sourced from other countries.
GM DOES make "affordable" fuel efficient cars, just like Toyota makes fuel drinking V8 pickup trucks. I wouldn't consider the Prius to be a cheap, entry level commuter car. When we bought ours, they were priced a lot more than comparably equipped Camrys and Corollas. In fact, I believe that for the same money, we could have taken home nicely equipped V8 full size pickup with an impressive amount of bells, whistles and whizbangs.
I am a Chevy truck guy to the core, but I have to be honest here and say that I have driven the Toyota truck offerings. In my opinion, their fit and finish is far better than ANY American branded truck ever built. They are tight, powerful and comfortable. their specifications are second to none."It went together didn't it? Well then there has to be a way to take it apart!" - Me.

I have seen stock Tundras power through slop that jacked up domestics get bogged down in.
Don't get me wrong, I am Chevy 'till the casket drop. But some of the stuff I have seen the Toyotas do is amazing.

05-08-2012, 07:16 PM #30You just made an unfair comparison -- comparing an alternative energy/efficiency vehicle to others that are not, as it has technology in it the others do not. Compare apples to apples, please. Compare the cost of the Prius to the Leaf or the Volt. In a more fair comparison such as this, the Prius IS the cheap alternative energy/efficiency commuter vehicle of the three.

MORGANTOWN - Just about nothing went right for West Virginia in its Big Monday game with Pitt at the Coliseum, be it loose balls or shots that just wouldn't fall. Shoot, even when Bob Huggins tried to yell at Truck Bryant, it backfired on him in the form of a technical foul.
Of course, that's pretty much the way things tend to go when a team finds itself mired in the kind of slump in which the Mountaineers currently find themselves.
After West Virginia's 72-66 loss to the Panthers, though, Huggins would only allow that the breaks of the game were a small part of the problem. After all, sometimes you have to make your own breaks.
"We don't converge on the ball,'' Huggins said. "Yeah, I'm sure they got some bounces. You always get some bounces. But our center had the ball at the start of the second half and they just snatched the ball and got a layup. They beat us to the ball. We stand around and watch too much.''
Well, to start the second half of the Big East season, what the Mountaineers are watching now is not pretty.
The loss extended West Virginia's losing skid to three games and marked the first time since Huggins returned to WVU that he's lost three in a row.
The Mountaineers (15-8, 5-5 Big East) at least temporarily dropped to a tie for eighth place in the league, but now face a bit of a break after playing three games in six days. They have just one - Sunday at Providence - in the next eight days.
Pitt (14-9, 3-7) continued its surge after suffering through an eight-game losing streak that included an 0-7 start to league play. The Panthers have now won three in a row.
The loss also extended to four WVU's current losing streak to the Panthers, who beat West Virginia in largely the same way they usually do.
"They just out-toughed us,'' said Kevin Jones, who managed his 14th double-double of the season and 26th of his career with 21 points and 13 rebounds. "They just wanted it more. They beat us to every loose ball. They played as a team.''
Well, perhaps, but Pitt also got an exceptional individual performance, too.
Tray Woodall, who averages less than 11 points per game and missed 12 games during Pitt's worst stretch of the season, had 16 points by halftime as the Panthers recovered from a cold start to lead 33-29 at the break. He would finish with 24. Gibbs added 15.

SUNY Albany Holds Off BC |
Colleges - Men's DI College |
SUNY Albany edged Boston College 19-18 Friday in the opening East Coast Rugby Conference match for both college teams. Played on the artificial turf field at Amesbury Sports Park, and finished under the lights, the match was a tight one all the way. BC dominated early play, scoring through Jake O'Brien and Kyle McVicker at 16 and 20 minutes, respectively. Up 10-0, the Eagles perhaps through they'd roll. But several attacks close to the Albany tryline ended with knock-ons, and let off the hook, the New Yorkers came back. Adrian Newell ran in two tries later in the first half, the second converted by Daniel McNamara for a 12-10 lead. BC's John Casey clotted a penalty with six minutes left in the half to put his side up 13-12 at the break. That slim lead lasted well into the second half as both sides played aggressive rugby but couldn't claim any points for their efforts. Late in second half, Albany turned over ball after a BC attack, and countered. Sean Kimmins touched down for the try, and McNamara's conversion gave Albany a 19-13 lead with time winding down. Seven minutes later BC responded with a try of their own, with sub John Potapchuk claiming the score in the corner. Casey had a tough conversion attempt to take the lead and his effort drifted wide. As the game came to a close, BC got a penalty, but Casey was no good with the attempt, and Albany held on 19-18. |

In "Freedom, the Family and the Market: A Humane Response to the Socialist Attack on the Family," Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse describes how the socialist ideal of equality has played an independent role in the breakdown of the family, arguing that socialism has attacked the family directly and has adopted policies that have led to demographic collapse. An outlined version of the lecture is available on the media page.

SPX Chart
The line which I have made purple was resistance and is now support and the green line is now resistance. Candidly I don't think I have ever looked at such a steep slope for a line of resistance and while his analysis may or may not be correct it is interesting. He noted the market needs to break above 1320 for him to believe good things will happen.
On a note that may or may not be different, Don Hays called for a fast and big up 30% move the other day. He seemed to be implying some urgency to this.
While I do not agree with the call, 30% in just a few months has happened in the past, but more frequent have been 20% moves out of nowhere.
I tried to find some content on the website with more details but could not. I did find the following headlines, but could not access the content, that surprised me given the interview he gave to Erin Burnett. I must be missing something.

Is the possible rally (at least by some anaylsts you have mentioned) in US stocks a result of the projected fall in the US dollar which should aid US exports? Also, perhaps lower oil prices are seen to be more likely as the hurricane season has been muted? Or are the calls based all on technical factors?
Thanks for doing the fire fighting regimen. If exercise is the elixir of healthy life you should live VERY long while prospering! - 7:34 AM

Darryl's opinions are purely technical. As I understood (and now remember) Mr. Hays' interview he is pointing to visibility for rate cuts by the Fed.
Your question is asked with a granularity and depth that the Hays interview did not offer. - 7:46 AM

below is a link to a john markman piece from last october. in it don hays predicts the market will double in the next few years. here's a snippet:
**In late September, Hays told clients to expect gains of 100%-plus in the next couple of years, in part due to vast piles of individual and corporate cash being put to work amid "the reinvigoration" of the U.S. dollar and productivity. "The monetary liquidity floating around the world is so humongous it is impossible to describe all the pockets overflowing and looking for a home," he said, adding that the believes U.S. GDP is on track to double to a 7% annualized rate, while inflation will remain in a 1%-to-2% range over the next decade.**
I would just point out he's made variations of that sorta call for more than a year now... but he's always waiting for something or other to get cleared off the runway. eventually he'll be right.
on a separate note, I had let my sub to don hays site lapse however long ago, so I went to the cnbc/msn site figuring I'd watch the video from last friday's interview...
... and by doing so was reminded how cnbc's web presence is so uniformly awful! This is "CNBC" AKA "General Electric"!! Great Boogley Woogley! He was just on last Friday! not only is there no video, there's no indication that Don Hays ever lived.

September 11, 2012
It's no secret that China's economic development has been set to warp speed. Over a ten-year span, (2001-2011) the country's GDP grew an astounding 550 percent. During the same time period, the US economy increased by just 50 percent. Given China's dramatic growth, they appear to be focused on catching up with the United States in a variety of aspects including defense, technology and even Olympic medals. A recent flurry of announcements indicate that China is betting on cloud technologies, even besting some US providers at their own game.
Alibaba Outpaces Amazon, eBay
When it comes to Web-scale companies, like eBay and Amazon, China is no slouch. Founded in 1999, Hangzhou-based Alibaba has offered e-commerce services to Chinese consumers and businesses. The company is a collection of online marketplaces with B2B, C2C and B2C focuses. Similar to other online shopping platforms, Alibaba enables remote consumers to access the same goods and services as people in larger cities.
A few days ago, The Economic Times reported that Alibaba had surpassed both eBay and Amazon in gross merchandise volume (GMV).
"From their annual reports we did a rough calculation and we were similar last year but we are growing faster than them this year, so this year we are probably larger than them," said Zeng Ming, the company's chief strategy officer, when speaking of the US tech retail giants.
The number represents the total value of transactions processed using the company's services. Back in 2009, Alibaba's GMV was $33 billion. The company expects to reach $158 billion by year's end.
Zeng says the Alibaba is focused on tripling its GMV over the next 5-7 years.
Baidu Invests 1.6 Billion in Cloud Computing
Baidu is currently the number one search engine in China and the fifth most visited site according to Alexa Web analytics. Beyond delivering search functionality, the company also delivers other services including:
Baidu was incorporated in 2000, which is still fairly young in the tech industry, but plans to grow on its already solid footprint. The Chinese search giant is investing $1.6 billion towards the creation of a new cloud computing center. As revealed by Reuters, Baidu's chief financial officer Jennifer Li made the announcement at the company's annual Baidu World Forum event.
Specific details about the new facility are scant, but according to one news source, Baidu has confirmed it has already broken ground on a undisclosed site in the northern region of China. No completion date was given, but a company representative claimed that Baidu already operates China's largest cloud service. The new site may have a role in supporting some features of the company's new search service, which will be integrated into the next major revision of Apple's mobile platform, iOS 6.
Microsoft Plans to Add 1,000 Jobs in China
China's booming economy is attracting plenty of foreign investment as well. To that end, Microsoft told IDG News Service that it plans to add 1,000 jobs to expand cloud operations in the country. The new employees will come as an addition to the 4,500 China-based positions already in place for the company. Along with the extra hands, Microsoft will up its Chinese R&D funding by 15 percent.
The investment will most likely aid promotion of the company's cloud-based products, including Office365, Windows Azure and Server 2012. The Redmond giant estimates that 40 percent of China's enterprise users are already using some form of the company's private cloud software, and says it is working on a public cloud option for China.
Right now, 80% of the research Microsoft undertakes in China is aimed at the global market, but this is changing as the company ramps up its commitment to the local Chinese market.
When he announced the new strategy to a group of journalists, Ralph Haupter, chairman and CEO for Microsoft's Greater China Region, characterized the new focus as "the most ambitious and audacious plan we have had for China in the last two decades."
CSA Looks to Increase Confidence in Cloud Computing
Non-profit association Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) recently announced a memorandum of understanding with the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI). The groups are looking to boost cloud security measures while accelerating development of cloud technologies in Hong Kong and greater China.
First on their to do list is the creation of CloudCERT, a program that aims to improve the operation of Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRT). Hong Kong will host the APAC CloudCERT base of operations.
"We very much welcome the opportunities to collaborate with CSA. I hope our joint effort can contribute to the advancement of cloud security and facilitate the adoption of cloud computing in Hong Kong and the region," said Dr. Cheung Nim-kwan, CEO of ASTRI.
Security is a primary concern with current and potential cloud adopters. To make matters worse, building confidence requires long periods of time without incident. Success for CloudCERT will come in the form of a mostly unblemished track record established over a matter of years. In this way will established concerns about cloud computing eventually be unseated.
With all of these developments being announced within days of each other, it's clear that China is cultivating its cloud offerings at seemingly breakneck speeds.

The Beginning / The Birth of a Nation / Province House Today /Did You Know... / Fathers of Confederation
The Prince Edward Island Legislature first met in private homes and taverns and, as a door keeper to the legislature remarked, this made for 'a damn queer Parliament'. In 1837 the lieutenant governor, Sir John Harvey, made plain to the legislature his alarm at the colony having no building for the safe custody of its public record. No one could disagree, and there was warm support for a vote of £5,000 to provide a legislative building to house the two branches of the legislature, as well as colonial offices.
Delayed by slow British confirmation of this proposal, action began in 1839 with a public design competition. The additional need for accommodation for the Supreme Court further delayed matters until the legislature voted another £5,000 in 1842.
The competition was won by the leading Island architect/builder, Issac Smith, who had been responsible for most of the Island's existing public buildings. Although Smith had no formal architectural training, his work stands the test of time and comparison.
Issac Smith's plans were for a three-storey stone structure of classic proportions and detail with a central portico and substantial columns. This was in keeping with 19th century interest in Greek and Roman styles for public buildings and was thought particularly suitable for a legislature.
When tenders for trades were accepted, it was found necessary to leave the Island only for stone, which was brought from Nova Scotia. Stone-masonry, brick-laying, carpentry, joinery, plastering, slating, painting, glazing, sheet metal working and excavating were all done by Islanders, proud that the new Colonial Building was indeed a local accomplishment.
The cornerstone was laid in May of 1843 - a band, a parade, and a speech by the lieutenant governor were some of the events marking the occasion.
The first session of the Prince Edward Island Legislature, held in the new Colonial Building in January 1847, marked the official opening of the structure. The small Island community had designed, built and furnished a major public building comparable to those in other British colonies in North America. The Colonial building represented the epitome of Island craftsmanship during the mid-19th century, a time of unprecedented prosperity and optimism.
Canada dates its birth from July 1, 1867 and its conception from September of 1864. The occasion was a conference to discuss the desirability of union of Britain's North American colonies. The place was Province House, in Charlottetown.
Proposals for colonial union had occasionally surfaced for many years. Richard John Uniacke of Nova Scotia and the Cabinet of United Canada had each suggested it, but the idea had met with little enthusiasm and no action. When the Maritimes colonies agreed that their own union should be subject of a conference, Canada seized the opportunity and her governor wrote to ask if the Canadians might attend. The Maritimes set a date, September 1, 1864; the Canadians were invited to make their presentation, and the rest is history.
Unfortunately, there is no formal record of what was said during the Charlottetown meetings. What we know has been gathered from private sources, such as letters written home by delegates. We do know that there was agreement on detailed discussion of the idea of union. We know that the Maritime delegates put aside their own poorly-supported ideas of Maritime Union, while the Canadians could see solutions to their own problems in a larger union.
Without doubt, external factors encouraged the consideration of a general union, fears of what the United States might do when their Civil War was over were in every mind. All were aware of Britain's growing desire that the North American colonies should look after themselves. yet, it seems clear that what united many delegates, not only in opinion but in spirit, was the grand idea of a new nation.
The spirit of goodwill engendered by powerful politicians meeting each other on a matter of such attractive common interest was enhanced by the sincere and lavish hospitality that met them at every turn. Lunches on the Canadian steamer, Queen Victoria, home entertaining by the Island hosts and a culminating banquet by the City of Charlottetown kept the delegates in a euphoric mood. They enthusiastically journeyed on to Halifax and agreed to meet again in Quebec.
At the October 1864 conference in Quebec, which also included delegates from Newfoundland, the groundwork was laid for the 72 resolutions that would become the framework for the British North American Act.
To ratify the proposals, the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and United Canada sent their official delegates to London, England in 1866. Once again, there was agreement and the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed the British North American Act, effective July 1, 1867. It established the Dominion of Canada with its own federal system of government under the British Crown and included the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario. In subsequent years, the Dominion grew to include; Manitoba and Northwest Territories (1870), British Columbia (1871), Prince Edward Island(1873), Yukon(1898), Alberta and Saskatchewan(1905) Newfoundland(1949), Nunavut(1999)
Province House Today
An agreement was signed in 1973 between Parks Canada and the Province of Prince Edward Island. Under the terms of the agreement, Parks Canada and the Province agreed to operate the site cooperatively for a period of 99 years. The Park's primary role is to protect and interpret for all time this important site to Canadians. Also as part of the agreement a major restoration project was undertaken by Parks Canada to restore a portion of the building to the 1864 period.
The restoration took place between 1979 and 1983 at a cost of $3.5million. The work was painstaking in its detail and involved extensive research and many talented craftspeople working thousands of hours to complete this major project. Province House was officially proclaimed a National Historic Site on July 1, 1983.
Province House National Historic Site will be undergoing a renovation in advance of the 2014 celebrations that will mark the 150th anniversary of the Charlottetown Conference. These renovations will ensure that Province House National Historic Site continues to be maintained, appreciated and enjoyed by present and future generations of Canadians.
Province House continues to make history as it still houses the Legislative Assembly for the Province of Prince Edward Island and is the focal point for political decisions and debates. Cooperatively within the site, staff from Parks Canada and the Province of PEI work together in welcoming thousands of visitors annually.

Levi Leipheimer's King Ridge Gran Fondo
Rather than beat around the bush and try to build a case for why I think Levi Leipheimer's King Ridge Gran Fondo was incredible, I'll just tell you straight out: This was the prettiest organized ride I've done in the United States.
I've done organized rides all over the country. My barometer for beauty demands one basic feature—elevation change. Without it, you don't get many thrilling vistas. As a result, most of my top 10 prettiest events are held in California.
Previously, my top three were the Tour of the Unknown Coast in Humboldt County, the Tour of the California Alps (also known as the Markleeville Death Ride) outside of Lake Tahoe, and the Mulholland Challenge in Malibu, in that order. They've been bumped down a notch now.
More than 20 years ago, the increasingly ambitious Coor's Classic expanded to California. One of the roads it used was King Ridge Road in western Sonoma County. It's a road that has been consistently cited as one of California's gems, but talk of Sonoma County cycling usually fails to mention just how challenging the road is.
King Ridge Road may have been the crown jewel in a stunning ride, but it was only one road. The descent into Jenner was the most beautiful seaside descent I've done.
I had a succession of flats that day (something I'll address in another post) and so any hope I had of turning a fast time got dashed. As a result, I gave myself permission to stop for photos from time to time, rather than just shooting from the saddle.
With 3500 riders on the road at once, there were riders in view at all times, and despite getting in to the last two rest stops on the later side, they were still well stocked. Nearly as impressive as the ride itself was the number of volunteers who turned out to help. Police manned each and every intersection, ensuring everyone turned the correct direction and allowing safe passage to the riders free of traffic.
The concept of a timed century has been slow to catch on in the United States, despite its incredible popularity in Europe. Its time has come. If Levi Leipheimer's King Ridge Gran Fondo is any indication, racers are beginning to see the value in a timed century as opposed to yet another industrial park crit.
This is one ride I'll definitely be back for.

Though Pinnacle Car Wash prides itself on its ability to decontaminate the hulls of filthy road-ships with its soft-cloth tunnel technology, the locally-owned-and-operated express car wash can also clear the trash piles and seagulls from your ride's insides with an interior service package. Once they've vacuumed out all the dirt, sand, and grit, the Pinnacle pit crew will squeegee the windows, clear the cookie crumbs off the dashboard, de-gunk the doorjambs, and erase motorized memories of your ill-conceived attempt to make chili during your morning commute. Though not included with this Groupon, autos playing host to circus clown conventions may also request related services, such as a carpet shampoo ($35), seat cleaning and conditioning ($35), and floor mat shampoo ($15).
Technicians at Clear Choice Glass secure glass craters measuring up to three inches, backing their deft workmanship with a lifetime warranty. During each individual repair, which last roughly 30-minutes, the techs stabilize window dings with adhesives that prevent the damage from growing into larger chips, turning into irreparable cracks, or spreading to nearby liberty bells. In-house staffers greet customers who travel to the facility, while customers within 40 miles can invite the mobile repairmen to their home, office, or the scene of the damage to ensure stable glass and restored visibility.
Sam Meineke opened his three-bay muffler shop in 1972 with a single product line, and through time, he and his successors have expanded the business into a complete automotive car-care center. Today, nearly 900 franchise owners operate their locations around the globe, still standing on the firm foundation of Sam's ideal of nursing vehicles back to health at fair prices. The team of mechanics at Meineke Car Care Center of Fort Walton Beach performs an array of services, keeping rides running in showroom condition with tune-ups, 23-point inspections, tire rotations, and deep-tissue windshield massages.

Bittersweet reunions at Fort Drum
Nov 02, 2007 — The Army's most battle-tested brigade is returning home to Fort Drum. More than 1,500 members of the 10th Mountain Division's second brigade have arrived in flights from Iraq. It's the second or third tour of duty for some soldiers, but this one has been particularly difficult. The brigade returns without two of their men, who were left missing. David Sommerstein reports from the scene of a bittersweet homecoming Halloween night.
