Thank You Very Much Redszone
Can't thank you enough
Was at work visiting StubHub looking for tickets for the Tuesday game at ATL, as I was in charge of getting tickets for about a dozen of us from PCola hoping to get to see Salmon pitch. Found a few good, but very expensive seats and was ready to rock and roll. Phone rings, I have to go back to work. Get home, fire up the TRS80 but instead of StubHub, visit here first. Stanton up, Salmon down ............................:ban g: Thanks for saving my wallet. Stone would have been my choice, but it is not my job. Oh well, lets see how the pen does tonight. |

The gift of God to Teresa in and through which she became holy and left her mark on the Church and the world is threefold: She was a woman; she was a contemplative; she was an active reformer.
As a woman, Teresa stood on her own two feet, even in the man's world of her time. She was "her own woman," entering the Carmelites despite strong opposition from her father. She is a person wrapped not so much in silence as in mystery. Beautiful, talented, outgoing, adaptable, affectionate, courageous, enthusiastic, she was totally human. Like Jesus, she was a mystery of paradoxes: wise, yet practical; intelligent, yet much in tune with her experience; a mystic, yet an energetic reformer. A holy woman, a womanly woman.
Teresa was a woman "for God," a woman of prayer, discipline and compassion. Her heart belonged to God. Her ongoing conversion was an arduous lifelong struggle, involving ongoing purification and suffering. She was misunderstood, misjudged, opposed in her efforts at reform. Yet she struggled on, courageous and faithful; she struggled with her own mediocrity, her illness, her opposition. And in the midst of all this she clung to God in life and in prayer. Her writings on prayer and contemplation are drawn from her experience: powerful, practical and graceful. A woman of prayer; a woman for God.
Teresa was a woman "for others." Though a contemplative, she spent much of her time and energy seeking to reform herself and the Carmelites, to lead them back to the full observance of the primitive Rule. She founded over a half-dozen new monasteries. She traveled, wrote, fought—always to renew, to reform. In her self, in her prayer, in her life, in her efforts to reform, in all the people she touched, she was a woman for others, a woman who inspired and gave life.
Her writings, especially the Way of Perfection and The Interior Castle, have helped generations of believers.
In 1970, the Church gave her the title she had long held in the popular mind: Doctor of the Church. She and St. Catherine of Siena were the first women so honored.

The citizens of North Carolina voted approximately 61% to 39% yesterday to add an amendment defining marriage as a union of one man and one woman to its constitution. President Obama said during his campaign for president that he agreed with this definition but recently he said he was disappointed in the North Carolina vote. Now the major media is telling us that his views are evolving despite the fact that 31 states have now declared marriage as being between one man and one woman.
Vic showed where Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan stand as he presented audio clips showing their support of same-sex marriage.
Vic also alerted listeners regarding a May Sale ad by J.C. Penny that further assaults the traditional values of families. It was mailed to many of their customers and also appeared with the Sunday sale ads this past weekend under the title, "Freedom of Expression". Vic's discussion of J.C. Penny included audio from company C.E.O. Ron Johnson. Mr. Johnson appeared on "CBS This Morning" on February 9th of this year where he expressed support for Ellen DeGeneres as their national spokesman.

- Health Notes
Brittle Nails
Brittle Nails- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by some in the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
Supplement Amount Why Biotin2.5 mg daily [2 stars] Biotin has been shown to improve nail firmness and thickness and to reduce splitting in several studies.GelatinRefer to label instructions [2 stars] Many people have reported success using gelatin to strengthen brittle nails.Glucosamine1,500 mg daily [2 stars] One doctor has observed that taking glucosamine sulfate can increase the nail growth and strength.HorsetailRefer to label instructions [1 star] Anecdotal reports suggest that horsetail may help treat brittle nails, possibly due to its high content of silicic acid and silicates.About This Condition
Brittle nails can be weak, thin, nails that peel or break easily, and/or grow slowly.
The common condition of brittle nails is often not definitively linked with any known cause. Nonetheless, natural medicine may be able to help strengthen brittle nails.
Most conditions that affect nails are unrelated to nutrition; they are caused by a lack of oxygen associated with lung conditions, hemorrhage due to infection, or inflammation around the nail due to infection. If there is any question about what the problem is, it is important to get a diagnosis from a healthcare practitioner.

Oct. 15
It's been a long time since I dusted off the blog and made an update, but it's getting to the point where I couldn't put it off any longer, as I've got some things coming out imminently and am hitting up a con this weekend. There are also a couple of Big Things that I hope to be able to announce sometime soon, but I'm increasingly wary of announcing anything until it's reached and breached the point of no return, so will hold off on those for now. In the mean time, though, here's what I've got coming down the pipe:
"Escape from the Mummy's Tomb"--a new short story for Jurassic's anthology The Book of the Dead, edited by Anne Perry and Jared Shurin. It "will be published in collaboration with the Egypt Exploration Society, the UK's oldest independent funder of archaeological fieldwork and research in Egypt, dedicated to the promotion and understanding of ancient Egyptian history and culture."
As if that wasn't neat enough, here's what the limited edition looks like: "100 hand-numbered, hardcover copies, with gold embossed titles on midnight blue buckram, dark cream endpapers. The Book of the Dead limited edition is bound (literally) in cloth and sealed in wax, impressed with the seal of the Egypt Exploration Society. This edition also contains an exclusive illustration by Garen Ewing that will not appear in any other edition. Because of its unique construction, purchasers of the limited edition will also receive a copy of the ebook for free."
So yeah, stunning limited edition, beautiful illustrations by Garen Ewing, and all new stories for a good cause by myself, Gail Carriger, Molly Tanzer, Maurice Broaddus, Adam Roberts and many more. Here be all the ordering information, and check out Ewing's illustration for my story:
"The Devil's Tontine"--a new story in Stone Skin's anthology Schemers, edited by Robin Laws. As with all Stone Skin projects, this anthology has a broad, interesting theme: plots, and the plotting plotters who plot them. I understand the stories run the gamut of genres; my own piece is a Gothic homage set in Strawberry Hill, Horace Walpole's infamous folly of a castle. Other contributors include Ekaterina Sedia, Tobias Buckell, Molly von Tanzinghauer, Jonathan L. Howard, Nick Mamatas, Tania Hershman, to name a few, and you can find more information here or pre-order it here, as it drops November 14th.
"Dive In Me"--a new story co-written with S.J. Chambers for Stone Skin's anthology The New Gothic, edited by Beth K. Lewis. Selena and I go way back to Small Times, so we decided to write something inspired by our occasionally overlapping grungy adolescences in North Florida. There's a bit more about it here, and here's the pre-order link as it also comes out on the 14th. In terms of who else is in it, the only two names I know for sure are Richard Dansky, who I know worked on a bunch of World of Darkness books, and, um, Ramsey Campbell.
"The Door From Earth"--a reprint story appearing in Deepest Darkest Eden, an anthology of stories set in or around Clark Ashton Smith's Hyperborea, edited by Cody Goodfellow. I believe all of the other pieces in this collection are new, written by such badass new gods as Marc Laidlaw, John Shirley, Lisa Morton, Nick Mamatots, Zak Jarvis, and many others; my piece was an odd case, as it actually fit the theme perfectly despite being previously published, and Cody graciously let me take part. This was especially rewarding as I was always less than satisfied with the version of the story as it was originally published, and so it was a rare treat to be able to restore it to its intended form. Here be the ordering info, and hey, check out that rad throwback cover!
(fun fact: in high school I had a pet frog that I named Tsathoggua)
Also, today is launch day for Wonderbook, a new writing guide by Jeff VanderMeer and Jeremy Zerfoss. Jeff had a load of different authors chime in on this or that for the book, so it should offer a wide range of takes on a wealth of different topics, all crammed with neat diagrams by Zerfoss. By request I'm posting the excerpt containing my own small contribution to the project--Jeff asked a mess of authors to briefly talk about the revision process we underwent on a particular project. These responses were then Zerfossized into cartoon snakes with the number of drafts we went through appearing in the snake's eyeball. There's a whole dedicated website here.
So them's the short writings I've got coming down the pike, but before signing off I did want to mention a couple of upcoming appearences I'll be making in the Denver area. First up is Mile Hi Con, which is next weekend. I'm only doing programming on Saturday, but should be down Friday if anyone is around and wants to knock glasses. My Saturday schedule is as follows:
11:00 AM--Noon: "Strong Women in Fiction and Film" Panel
1:00--2:00 PM: Reading (Paired with Eric James Stone)
4:00--5:00 PM: "Best Fantasy Films" Panel
Plus lots of barconning, I'd imagine--of you see me, say hello! Or just scowl at me and walk away, that works, too.
And finally, on Saturday, October 26th, I am taking part in a group reading at Mutiny Information Cafe, a bookstore and coffee shop in Denver. The reading starts at 6 PM, and I'll be joined by Margaret Christie, J. L. Benet, Robert Davis, and DJ Death Fez. Here be the flier, it's free and should be a lot of fun:

Foster, Jodie (b. 1962)
It was on the set of John Amiel's Somersby (1992), in which she plays the wife of a Civil War veteran who returns after a long absence, that she met Cydney Bernard. Other recent films featuring Foster include such box office successes as Robert Zemeckis' Contact (1997) and Spike Lee's Inside Man (2006). She continues to pursue an active career as performer, director, and producer. The Trevor Project Although Foster refuses to discuss her private life, never responding to rumors about her sexual orientation, she has been a major contributor to The Trevor Project, a telephone counseling service for glbtq young people founded by Foster's close friend, the late Randy Stone, who served as executive producer of the Foster-directed film Little Man Tate in 1991. In 1994, Foster was the first major donor to provide support for the short film Trevor, a film about a teenager who attempts suicide after realizing he might be gay. The film, directed by Peggy Rajski who co-produced it with Stone, won an Academy Award for live-action short film in 1995. When accepting the award, Stone pointed at Foster in the audience and said, "Jodie, I love you." In 2007, Foster presented The Trevor Founders Award to screenwriter James Lecesne and director Peggy Rajski at the organization's Cracked Xmas event, and accepted the award posthumously on behalf of Randy Stone. She also kicked off the campaign to establish The Randy Stone Call Center by contributing the largest gift in the organization's history. Conclusion Foster has two sons, Charles Bernard Foster (b. 1998) and Kit Bernard Foster (b. 2001). Until recently, she lived in Los Angeles with Cydney Bernard. On May 15, 2008, however, The Daily Telegraph reported that Foster has ended her relationship with Bernard after Foster had an affair with Cynthia Mort, a screenwriter for The Brave One. As usual, however, Foster remains silent about her personal life, and she probably will neither be confirming the press accounts of her break-up with Bernard nor marching in pride parades any time soon. In accepting the Sherry Lansing Award for Leadership in the film industry in 2007, Foster remarked that she did not feel very powerful. "I feel fragile . . . unsure, struggling to figure it all out, trying to get there even though I'm not sure where there is." She even described herself as "nutty as a fruitcake." Still, as one of the few women in Hollywood who is considered a "bankable star," as well as an accomplished director and producer, Foster occupies a singular place in commercial film. Having won two Academy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, and a Screen Actors Guild Award, Foster would seem to have nothing left to prove, yet she is likely to continue to develop in interesting and perhaps unpredictable ways as a filmmaker.

Did you know that November is Picture Book Month? I didn't and I'm a children's librarian. I'm feeling a bit ignorant right now. Anyway I learned an interesting fact, picture book month was created by an author/storyteller, Dianne de Las Casas, based on the disheartening article that was published in the New York Times back in October of 2010, Picture Books No Longer a Staple For Children. The author talked about the demise of picture books which really got my blood boiling. In fact it probably got every librarian, book seller, book lover, and teacher's blood boiling. The death of the picture book, really? This is absolutely not true. And to prove this point, Dianne de Las Casas, decided to promote a campaign in favor of picture books and to celebrate them each year. Go Diane! And that is exactly what she has done. With the help of the industry, authors, publishers, librarians and book sellers she created a website promoting this month each year. Picture Book Month. Check it out!
But back to the disturbing article, even though it was written two years ago, the gist of the article was not that picture books weren't popular because of the devices and ebooks going viral. No, the main fact in the article was that parents weren't buying picture books anymore because they felt like they weren't challenging their children and advancing their reading skills. The article discussed that chapter books were more useful in building vocabulary and reading strategies more than a picture book. All of this is pure nonsense. Picture books are for all ages and stages. Not only does it bring a story to life, but with illustrations it engages the reader and creates conversations as well as sharing of our innermost thoughts.
First, let's define what a picture book is. A picture book is a story that combines illustrations and words in a successful integration of them both. Picture books are 32 pages in length and illustrations dominate the text integrating the text to bring a story to a satisfying conclusion for the reader. Picture books can vary in word length from 500 words to 2000 words. Some picture books cater to the very young child, while some picture books can be enjoyed by even middle school students or adults.
As a teacher librarian I can sum up the importance of picture books:
1. Chapter books are not necessarily more complex than picture books. Many picture books are actually written at a higher reading level than an beginning reader with more complex vocabularies and plots.
2. Illustrations help children to understand the story and analyze it as well as figure out the meaning of what they are reading.
3. Language in picture books allows children to practice sounds as well as rhythm and rhythme. Picture books usually provide lots of repetition which helps readers to anticipate more in the story as well as learn reading skills like phonemic awareness, phonics, comprehension and fluency.
4. Picture books are usually mutli-sensory which stimulates imagination but helps readers to hear a story, see the illustrations and touch the pages.
5. Picture books help develop a story. Children can learn about beginnings, middles and endings as well as conflict resolution.
6. Picture books provide interaction with parents, care-givers, grandparents, or any adult.
7. Most importantly reading picture books is fun. I truly believe that picture books help to create life long readers
Picture books bring the world to children through language and illustrations. Picture books help us to understand the world, the good and the bad. To help us deal with new situations in our lives, like new babies, new siblings, starting school, families, being scared, the list goes on. I think author Paul O. Zelinksky says it best, "Picture books are a unique form of storytelling, and storytelling is at the core of how we learn to experience the world. Picture books are the bridge to a life of reading." Thank you Paul. I couldn't of said it better!
Personally, I feel strongly that picture books are just one way to provide both personal and academic fulfillment to children. They help to create values, intellects, as well as enjoyment, imagination and experiences. Stories can create empathy and teach morals as well as world history. There is so much that books in general can do for us. I feel very strongly that children learn about their world through stories and the more they can know and understand the more they can learn about themselves. And reading aloud, reading a picture book can build knowledge that is required for not only reading success but lifelong success.
So if you have a child, or even if you don't have a child, go to your local library or book store and look at the picture books. Even if it is just one. Look at, reveal in the illustrations, the storyline. Let your imagination travel. If you can read one a week, better yet like Diane says, read one a day for the entire month of November! But most importantly notice the importance of picture books in our children's lives.
November is Picture Book Month

A video made for the Museum of Cluny, and its "The Sword: Uses, Myths and Symbols" exhibit. It tries to dispel some of the beliefs that are still prevalent today about the weight and mobility of fighters in plate armor and show some of the techniques used in combat against armored opponents
I'm always pleased to see videos like this. It's as if people won't believe unless they're shown (and there are always some who go "ah, yes, well, in aluminium stage armour it's easy.")
Well, the Museum Cluny video, like the Royal Armoury demo team, uses real steel armour: those two pictures at the start show the originals; the video uses reproductions because no curator will let someone take two exhibits from his museum and roll them around on flagstones. Mike Loades in the UK has been doing similar armour demonstrations for years, as has Tobias Capwell of the Wallace Collection. Eventually the old "clunky, immobile, in with a wrench, out with a can-opener" image of plate armour will go away – but I won't hold my breath. (That shade of purple isn't a good complexion anyway…)
Even the faster demonstrations of these combat techniques are still dialled back to about half speed. Try to visualise how much quicker and more brutal this would be if the two fighters meant business, when the first rule was Do It To Him As Quickly As Possible Before He Does It To You.
Writer and swordsman Guy Windsor writes about doing motion-capture work for a computer game; his completely authentic techniques couldn't be used because they were so small, fast and economical. The game needed big swashing movements because the real thing looked unrealistic, too insignificant to be effective…
You won't see a "killing fight" (full speed, full power, full intent) recreated very often, either on documentaries or in museum exhibitions, because it's very, very dangerous for (when you think about it) obvious reasons. These techniques from 600-year-old fight manuals were how men in armour maimed and killed other men in armour - and since they're the original material, not a re-interpretation after 600 years of being diluted down to sport-safe levels, the techniques will still maim and kill men in armour. Even a blunt "safe" sword is pointed enough (first demo on the video, 1:54-59) to go into a helmet's eye-slot and through the skull inside…
But if you're lucky enough to see a full-speed demo between fighters in real armour using wasters (wooden practice swords), be prepared to pick your jaw up from the floor. It is awesome. And also as scary as hell.
Comments on comments:
"Pretty much proof positive that the people who claim that skimpy female fantasy armor is for increased maneuverability don't know what they're talking about."
They know exactly what they're talking about. They want to see T&A on fantasy game and book covers, and since they don't have the balls to be honest about it, this is their excuse.
"It amazes me that the old saws about Western armour and techniques are still going about, because surely two minutes' thought would let you know that of course knights had to be able to get up off the ground… Europeans were wearing armour for centuries, why wouldn't they develop techniques of fighting in it?"
It's easier to laugh (do the same people laugh about samurai?) and repeat what "everyone knows about armour" than it is to waste that two minutes thought. Thinking might reveal something to mess with set opinions, and that would be annoying…
"Biggest pet peeve: People commenting on the weight and shape of armour restricting mobility…"
As before - "everybody knows" that European armour is massive and clunky because that's what "everybody knows." God forbid they should ever apply the "if it was so useless then why was it used" logic to anything. Because then they might realise that what "everybody knows" is wrong.
I'm going off to (not) hold my breath for a while… :-P

Copper has long been the choice of professional chefs because of its outstanding heat conductivity, but its price has generally been prohibitive for the domestic cook.

Summary (Masterplots II: Short Story Series, Revised Edition)
Eva Luna tells the life story of her old friend Clarisa, who died of amazement when the pope arrived for a visit and was met in the street by homosexuals dressed as nuns. (The reference is likely to one of John Paul II's visits to South America in the early 1980's.) The bizarre old woman, who is well into her eighties, is widely considered to be a saint but from performing humble and improbable miracles such as curing hangovers and minor illnesses.
Eva traces the story of Clarisa's life from her unhappy marriage to a greedy and vulgar provincial judge who is still alive and would be about a hundred years old. Traces of Clarisa's aristocratic upbringing show in her talent as a classical pianist, but after the birth of their two retarded children, her husband closed himself up in a malodorous room, where he has lived in silence for more than forty years. Clarisa was forced to sell their possessions and take up the sewing of rag dolls and baking—of wedding cakes, ironically—to keep the family together. Although her ancestral home is dilapidated, she manages to hold onto it.
Clarisa deals admirably with her children's abnormality, considering them pure souls immune to evil and treating them with great affection. She believes that God operates by a doctrine of compensation, and her faith is rewarded when she gives birth to two healthy sons who are kind and good and who help with their retarded brother and sister until they die in an...

It has been almost a year since I left my husband and filed for a divorce. I had put up with his verbal abuse for 42 years. And the last straw was when he yelled at oue 11 year old grandson. He'd been seeing a psychiatrist for his anger issues but stopped going as he complained that the medicine had him dizzy. He felt there was nothing wrong with him or his behavior. I just couldn't take it anymore. If things didn't go the way he thought they should, he'd break out into a tirade. Also he'd started hanging out with street people-three different women. He told friends that I had cancer and that was why I didn't go to events with him. (I am cancer free for eleven years.) The reason I didn't attend functions with him as we would go and he would spend all his time with other people and leave me sitting alone.
At one point, he put up a large sheet of paper on the back room's door, and told me to write down where i was, when I left and when I expected to be back. All well and good if he did it too. But no, I didn't know he had taken off unless I looked out and his car was gone.
So I hated to leave but I could see no other choice. Plus my doctor told me that sometime the verbal abuse would turn physical. And I have too much self respect for that to occur.

Anyone out there had the same experience?

VIDEO: The Mary Onettes Debut 'Evil Coast' Music Video
"Evil Coast" - the first single from Hit the Waves has been getting rave reviews and quickly placed at No. 1 on the Hype Machine charts. Today the band shares the official music video for the track, via the Guardian, as well as the album cover art and track list for Hit The Waves, out March 12, 2013. Watch the video below!
The Mary Onettes went into the studio determined to create something different from the previous albums. Breaking new ground can be a scary thing and the band admits that a great deal of anxiety and confusion followed. Singer Philip Ekström claims he found inspiration in everything from Vangelis to Whitney Houston(!) during the recording process.
Hit the Waves was produced by Dan Lissvik (Studio, The Embassy, Young Galaxy etc.). This is the first time The Mary Onettes works with an outside producer and the process has been everything but smooth. Conflicts and artistic differences have created a dynamic and hypnotic blend. The result is nothing less than brilliant - The Mary Onettes' most interesting album to date.
The band has released two previous albums - The Mary Onettes (2007) and Islands (2009), toured around the world and been featured in major TV-series. Hit The Waves is out worldwide on March 12th 2013.

Ferrotec Modernizes Server Environment with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
August 2, 2012
Ferrotec needed to migrate to a powerful, scalable, mission-critical IT infrastructure. With Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization at the core of its infrastructure, the company has increased scalability, flexibility, and provisioning of high-performance infrastructure.
Customer: Ferrotec
"The virtualized infrastructure with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization core components ensures that we don't have to make compromises between performance, flexibility, and administrative requirements." - Joachim Schwender, head of IT at Ferrotec
Ferrotec needed to migrate to a powerful, scalable, mission-critical IT infrastructure.
Windows Server 2003 and Debian to Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
Cisco UCS C200 rack systems, each with 48 GB RAM, two Intel Xeon X5675 processors (six processor cores, twelve threads, 3.06GHz), and a 500 GB hard drive
With Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization at the core of its infrastructure, the company has increased scalability, flexibility, and provisioning of high-performance infrastructure while lowering operating costs.
Ferrotec GmbH, located in the southern German town of Unterensingen, is a DIN EN ISO 9001 certified company specializing in innovative components for vacuum and thin-film technology. With headquarters in Japan, The Ferrotec Group has a large footprint in Asia as well as a large European presence in Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK. The Group has global revenues of $560 million and employs more than 1,800 team members. In addition to its own products, in Europe Ferrotec exclusively sells goods that are made by its subsidiary companies, as well as a goods manufactured by an American firm. Ferrotec Group's global presence supports customers all over the world. Ferrotec is recognized as a global market leader in all technologies based on Ferrofluid, a magnetic liquid. These types of products include Ferrofluidic® sealing technology and Ferrosound audio applications, which are used in multi-phase motors, dampers for shaft ends, and transformer cooling. Over the years, Ferrotec's business has been expanding, with production increasing especially over the past five years. Due to the company's growth and additional business requirements, Ferrotec's IT infrastructure also grew, leading to the purchase of new servers and an increase in memory capacity. As a result, there was a proliferation of various systems that often reached their maximum performance limits. While the company's IT infrastructure increased, there was no comparable growth in personnel resources, and Ferrotec wanted to stay true to its business objective of maintaining its existing systems without an increase in IT staff. As the company's IT systems reached their limits, performance began to decrease, which propelled the need for a modern technology infrastructure that could keep up with business demands.
Fundamental modernization to a virtualized infrastructure
When Ferrotec decided to start over with new servers in mid-2011, its legacy systems were about five years old. Ten physical servers were running partially on Windows Server 2003 and Debian, with a migration to Red Hat Enterprise Linux in the process. "The IT infrastructure could only be administrated with major effort. It wasn't enough to just replace individual servers for a new start," said Joachim Schwender, head of IT at Ferrotec. "The IT team, together with management, decided to go for a fundamental modernization and transition to a virtualized infrastructure."
Ferrotec assessed possible alternative solutions together with GONICUS, an IT service provider out of Arnsberg, Germany that has been working for Ferrotec for many years. GONICUS, a Red Hat Advanced Partner, specializes in infrastructure and virtualization strategy and is one of the largest independent service providers for open source software in Germany.
As Ferrotec began planning its migration strategy, one of the critical requirements for the new infrastructure was to continue the existing installation based on Linux. Therefore, the organization began seeking a solution that would meet the particular needs of a small-to-medium sized business. Ferrotec found what it was looking for from OpenV3 from Magirus, one of Europe's leading providers of IT solutions and a value-added distributor of Red Hat, based in Stuttgart. OpenV3 includes solutions from Cisco, EMC, and Red Hat in a best-of-breed strategy that combines into an infrastructure package that can be implemented rapidly. "We now have a fully functional datacenter with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization at its core with OpenV3," said Schwender. "When analyzing the market, we also looked at other virtualization alternatives, but thanks to high performance, the enterprise management feature set, and low TCO, we selected Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization."
GONICUS provided Ferrotec with a complete package solution that includes server, network, memory, and administration software. An important advantage Ferrotec recognized was that their subscription is calculated per system, not on a processor basis as is the case with several other virtualization products. The OpenV3 solution consists of the following components: two Cisco UCS C200 rack systems, each with 48 GB RAM, two Intel Xeon X5675 processors (six processor cores, 12 threads, 3.06 GHz), and a 500 GB hard drive, with both servers running Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization. There are also two Cisco Catalyst 2960S switches for fully redundant networking of the systems, as well as an EMC VNXe3100 storage system with a total of twelve 600GB SAS hard drives.
Two new Cisco servers replaced a total of seven old physical systems, reducing 10 servers to only five. Three existing servers are still used as physical servers for special applications. There are a total of eight virtual machines running on the two Cisco servers, including the ERP software ABAS. This is used in the purchasing/sales, warehousing, production, and accounting departments, and as a VPN connection to European subsidiaries. This new IT infrastructure has enabled Ferrotec to map all critical business processes in a highly reliable and flexible manner.
Red Hat helps Ferrotec prepare for future success
Ferrotec's new IT infrastructure has reaped several important benefits such as administration, maintenance, service, especially when compared to the old, heterogeneous infrastructure. By consolidating its server landscape, Ferrotec is anticipating lower operating costs, as the same number of staff can supervise a larger number of systems and applications.
The fact that all existing virtualization-ready applications could be seamlessly transferred was also a very positive feature. Whenever a specialized team or management wants a new application, the IT department now can easily satisfy their requirements with another virtual machine. The implemented solution enables the setup of up to 20 virtual machines, all without incurring additional subscription fees
for the virtualization.
The enterprise management capabilities of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager have been critical to increasing personnel productivity, enabling Ferrotec to modernize and expand its infrastructure without increasing its IT staff. The graphical administration console is straight forward, intuitive, and easy-to-use, providing a single pane of glass to manage their entire virtualized infrastructure. The
features such as live migration, workload balancing, and high availability have allowed Ferrotec to more fully utilize its new IT infrastructure while improving system availability and overall business continuity.
Ferrotec is now seeing the best IT performance in years. Although its existing main memory is sufficient for now, Ferrotec is expecting to upgrade its memory capacity in the next year in accordance with increasing demand.
"Our virtualized infrastructure with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization core components ensures that we don't have to make compromises between performance, flexibility, and administration requirements. The revitalization of our IT operations has made us more prepared and secure for our future," said Schwender.

Comments about Stanton UberStand Laptop Stand:
If you plan on using this stand on the road or in a club setting, think again. What Stanton fails to mention is, there is not locking feature on the stand. The only thing stopping the stand from tilting/falling backwards is a cheap looking zip-tie they include. These zip-ties take forever to set securely and they break pretty easily. So the first drunk fan who bumps or grabs on to your computer, will send it crashing to the floor. Considering the price of the stand, you would think Stanton could come up with some sort of locking mechanism.
Comments about Stanton UberStand Laptop Stand:
As far as function, this product is quite nice. The problem is, it is difficult to tell how big this stand is by looking at the photos. It is quite small and spending so much money on something so small can be frustrating.
Comments about Stanton UberStand Laptop Stand:
Great little piece of kit. Brings your laptop to a much more comfortable and visible height. Packs down nice and flat too. If you play at house parties you need one of these, it protects your laptop from liquid incidents. just last week a drunken girl at a party I was playing at spilt her drink all over my table. Might have cost thousands and cut short the gig if that had gone all over my laptop, but instead it was high and dry on this thing.
Comments about Stanton UberStand Laptop Stand:
I purchase this for my laptop. It holds it up security and firm. The best thing I like about his item is that it's very easy to store/put away and put up. I use a 15 & and 17 inch laptop screen and it hold it perfect. I purchase the OTHER ONE from oddsey and this one beats the oddsey one hands down. If you use a laptop and need a secure stand, this one should do the trick PLUS...it's stainless steel and super strong.

No-Touch Faucet Is Better Than Not Washing
If there's one thing I hate, it's touching things. Things are gross and covered with germs. Well thanks to the Miscea Sensor Activated Faucet, there's one less thing you have to touch in the world -- sink knobs. You turn the water on by waving your hand, and can increase/decrease the temperature or dispense soap with similar motions. Sure it's a good idea, but not as good as mine. It's called not washing. Sure you just had your penis in your hand, but that's okay -- it's your penis. If it was the guy's next to you, well, that's a whole different thing.
No-touch, five-feature sink faucet [core77]
Tapi faucet nipples from Dreamfarm (I'm not gonna lie, I've always dreamed of farming nipples, too) turns your faucet into a water fountain by squeezing off the hole at the bottom. Simple! Plus it comes in a rainbow of colors, none of which will match any kitchen/bathroom's d... / Continue →

This week I am embarking on my eighth in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle. We have been through seven retrievals in our attempt to create one healthy baby. We have completed one full IVF cycle, including a transfer that gave me the words I longed to hear: "You are pregnant." However, that lasted a very short time. Despite all of our best efforts in accumulating eggs and embryos and having them tested or saved for the future, we are back to square one. We begin our journey this week and are going to share each step of the way to hopefully have your support and encouragement, but we're doing this mostly to help you know you are not alone. I will share each step with you when I begin my next cycle. If sharing our journey with you is able to spare you any confusion, that will help us to see the positives in this beyond ourselves and our ultimate outcome. My official first cycle began three years ago. At this time in my life, I was suffering from what was to be my second case of endometrial fibroids—better known as fibroid tumors. After finding out that my hemoglobin levels were becoming dangerously low, my doctors advised me that I would need to undergo what would be my second myomectamy surgery. I had just started dating the man who is now my husband, Darren. Upon completion of the surgery, my concerned and caring gynecologist informed Darren and I that if we saw children in our future, we would probably need to consider modern medical alternatives to natural childbirth. We were not even married yet, let alone considering children, but I was and always had been yearning to be a mom. So here I was in this relationship with this amazing man who had the foresight to inquire about fertility testing and seek options—before we were even engaged. Initially, I questioned why on earth could he commit to IVF cycles or freezing our embryos together for future use but not an engagement ring. Is this a new trend? The truth is, today, looking back, knowing what I know now, I wish we had done it even sooner. Every day I go out and see women pushing their strollers, and pregnant women are everywhere. Sometimes it feels as if it's all I see. You see what you need or want more when you want it so, and it's hard to see especially when you know that you cannot just make it happen. Advertisement
