Winter outdoor events worth consideringWednesday, January 25th, 2012
It's late January. Get your calendars out.
A special day to introduce young people to the outdoors, a major bass-fishing tournament, a free hunter-education class and sailfish tournaments are among the outdoors events worth considering in the next two weeks.
Here's a list:
*This weekend (Jan. 28-29), the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission will offer a free hunter-education course at the Everglades Youth Camp in the J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area in northern Palm Beach County. Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Those who complete the written part of the course online can attend only on Sunday. Students learn about gun safety, wildlife identification, hunter ethics and get hands-on shooting practice at the gun range. It's all free. Preregistration is required. Call (561) 625-5122 or register online at www.myfwc.com/huntersafety.
*On Saturday (Jan. 28), the Treasure Coast Astronomical Society will offer "tours" of the winter constellations at the Dupuis Management Area in western Martin County. The star-gazing event is from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the management area on State Road 76 west of Indiantown. (Address: 23500 S.W. Kanner Highway). Enter at Gate 5 and meet at the visitor center.
*Also Saturday (Jan. 28), the Heath Evans Foundation is hosting its second annual Super Sailfish Bowl tournament. The event raises money to help victims of sexual abuse. The entry fee is $1,500 in the open division and $750 in the amateur divison. The captain's meeting begins at 6 p.m. Friday at Roxy's Rooftop Bar in downtown West Palm Beach. For details, call (561) 373-5424 or go to www.heathevans.org.
*On Feb. 4, the Florida Sportsmen's Conservation Association will hold its annual Outdoor Youth Day from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday at the J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area. That's off Seminole Pratt-Whitney Road in northern Palm Beach County. Airboat and swamp buggy rides, trail hikes, archery, shooting at a gun range, a frog-gigging contest, a petting zoo and cane-pole fishing will be offered. The entrance fee of $10 covers all activities. For details, go to www.fscai.com.
*Feb. 1-3: The Sailfish Open tournament, formerly based at Duck Key in the Florida Keys, is coming to Palm Beach County. Fishing will be Feb. 2-3 based at Sailfish and Cannonsport marinas on Singer Island. For details, call (404) 787-3210 or go to www.worldfishingtour.com.
*Feb. 9-12: Touring bass pros from across the country will fish on Lake Okeechobee during the Walmart FLW Tour bass tournament based in Clewiston. Weigh-ins, free and open to the public, will begin at 3 p.m. the first two days at Roland and Mary Ann Martin's Marina in Clewiston. On the final two days (Feb. 11-12), weigh-ins begin at 4 p.m. at the Clewiston Walmart. For details, go to www.flwoutdoors.com.

Reviews for Turkey Potpies
Sort By :
Have to agree that there wasn't enough sauce. I used Wondra instead of regular flour and added one more cup of broth. It turned out perfect!
This makes the best pot pies I've ever tasted.
My husband loves pot pie and he said this is his favorite of any he has had. This recipe is easy to make and we all love it.
This didn't have enough sauce for me. When I had all of the ingredients in the saucepan, I thought it was a bit dry and during the baking it got drier as the vegetables soaked up the little liquid that was there. Next time I will make for sauce or add gravy. Also, I think adding 1/2 tsp of sage or poultry seasoning or Bell's seasoning would have been good.
After all the wonderful reviews, I was a bit disappointed in this recipe. For me, it was dry. I felt it needed more sauce. When you have all the ingredients in the pan, if it doesn't look like it has enough sauce for you, correct it before you put the crust on and bake it. It will only get drier as the potatoes and other vegetables absorb some of the liquid. Or you could serve it with leftover turkey gravy. Either way, if I make this again, I will modify it so it has a little more sauce. Also, I think it could use some sage or poultry seasoning.

Flood appears ready to announces bid for governor
NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) - Outgoing Speaker of the Legislature Mike Flood appears ready to announce his candidacy for Nebraska governor.
The Omaha World-Herald reports Flood is planning to make a "special announcement" Monday evening at a convention center in his hometown of Norfolk.
Since June, Flood has toured the state and talked with Nebraskans as he considered a possible run for governor. During the tour, Flood has been saying the state needs to invest in infrastructure, schools and the state's farmers.
Flood is a respected Republican lawmaker who helped broker compromises on difficult issues while leading the Legislature. But term limits are forcing him to leave office.
Besides Flood, Lt. Gov. Rick Sheehy has expressed interest in running for Gov. Dave Heineman's job in 2014. Heineman cannot run again because of term limits.

Tax payers picked up the tab for the ouster of the former Metra chief. But was it really your responsibility? Wednesday's RTA meeting shed some light on the situation.
Regional Transportation Authority documents indicate the Metra board's decision to give its former chief executive officer a $718,000 buyout was "flawed" and not "financially prudent."
An RTA report, released Tuesday, indicates the commuter rail agency had an insurance policy it could have relied on instead of agreeing to give taxpayer funds to Alex Clifford.
He resigned June 21, citing the pressure he was under to make political appointments.
So far the audit determined that Clifford's settlement agreement process was inadequate and not sufficiently documented. There was lack of justification for the generous post-employment package.
Metra officials said they gave Clifford the hefty severance money to avoid at least $2 million in legal fees from a protracted Clifford lawsuit.
The RTA contends the insurance policy could have covered a lawsuit beyond the first $150,000. It has a cap of $10 million.
RTA Chairman John Gates Jr. said Metra should review its insurance policy and, if possible, cancel Clifford's severance agreement.
The RTA said the audit is nearly complete. Information gathered has been analyzed and needs to be compiled into final form. The RTA expects the final work to be complete by the next RTA Board meeting on Sept. 13.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Help Save our Kindergarten Teacher
Our Kindergarten Teacher at Global Village Academy Northglenn was fired due to budget cuts.
On Monday when I took my son to class I was shocked to find out my sons teacher had been fired. The entire Kindergarten classroom had been wiped clean. The class calendar, behavior chart, everything that class had earned and loved was gone. It looked like the first day of school all over again.
I was informed by the Assistant Principal that it was done because of budget cuts. She then told me that their plan is to separate the class into the other three classes. This would mean that there would be approximatly 35 students in each Kindergarten class.
Our students have lost their teacher that they loved, their classroom and are now about to lose their class in a whole.
Laura Martin is a Kindergarten Teacher from Madrid, Spain. She has a Bachelors degree in Teaching English as Second Language in Elementary Education and recently finished a Masters degree in Early Childhood Education. She also has 7 years of teaching experience. Laura is an amazing teacher and each and everyone one of her students loved her.
Please help us bring our teacher back and not let our children lose everything they love!

This is an outstanding route that is usually less crowded than other routes in RR of the same quality. It is possible to climb only the crux first pitch and rap with double ropes but the whole climb is fun and interesting; especially the fourth.
Lots of bolts but bring a rack of gear from tiny to about 2".

A giant black bear is not what Micki Davis expected to find hanging out on her porch Tuesday night. Imagine her surprise when she found three more cubs underneath her deck.
"I was face to face with a bear," Davis said. "She was real big and, I'm sure, she looked bigger at the time because I was real scared."
Davis has three dogs in her Cleveland, GA, home. All of them, except for the dachshund, barked and chased the bear.
"Mr. Bentley, who is the dachshund, was in the yard and deterred the bear," Davis said.
It wasn't until the next day that Davis realized the angry bear was protecting three cubs.
"She was very protective, but of course, I didn't know she was being protective. I thought she was being mean, but evidently all her three babies were down under the deck," Davis said.
The night before Davis ran outside making loud noises and tried to scare the bear off. It had little effect.
"She just came back and stayed with her cubs," Davis said.
On Wednesday, Davis said all of the bears stayed in a tree until after dark then they climbed down and took over her porch.
"They were just hanging out, walking around," Davis said.
All three of her dogs stood guard inside the home barking at the bears as they passed by the window.
"It was scary," Davis said. "I couldn't get animal control to do anything. They told me, Saturday starts bow season on bears, and they could not come out and use the drug to put them to sleep in order to move them and relocate them. I kept saying 'why can't you come out and do something for me? I can't let my dogs out, I am here by myself. What am I going to do? They may not leave.'"
The bears hopped a fence Wednesday night and they haven't been seen since. Davis said the mother was very protective of her cubs.
But, Davis will be protective of her dogs if it comes down to that.
"It's scary, I'll have my gun ready and if I have to I would definitely shoot," Davis said. "It would be tough, really hard to do - kill the momma bear. I don't think it will come to that."

Allied News Sports Correspondent
THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS have been called old for at least a couple seasons now and from the looks of it, they may be getting a much needed infusion of youth.
Rookies have been making their marks after less than a week of practice in pads. Running back Le'Veon Bell appears to be a certain lock to start over Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer. Bell has been mighty impressive during his first training camp as a pro and will likely make one of the veterans expendable.
Redman and Dwyer are likely battling for one spot, especially after quarterback Ben Roethlisberger singled out veteran free agent signee LaRod Stephens-Howling as being a bright spot and a potential third down back.
Meanwhile, rookie receivers Markus Wheaton and Justin Brown appear to be edging another veteran right off the roster.
Wheaton has been impressive so far despite missing all the team's offseason practices due to school not being over in time at Oregon State with receivers coach Richard Mann and veteran wide out Jerricho Cotchery getting credit for bringing Wheaton up to speed.
The former Beaver will replace Mike Wallace as the team's deep threat yet isn't a 'one-trick pony' like the current Miami Dolphin. Wheaton has shown the ability to go over the middle and make tough catches.
Brown, who has special teams abilities, will likely be the player who costs Plaxico Burress his spot.
From all accounts, Brown has been catching nearly everything thrown in his direction.
We're not even mentioning defensive rookies Jarvis Jones, Shamarko Thomas and Vince Williams all of whom are likely to be on the team's final 53-man roster in less than a month.
So by my count, that's six rookies with a realistic chance to impact the Black and Gold this year and for years to come.
ä The one thing that has amazed me over the years is the amount of people that flock to Saint Vincent College in Latrobe to watch the Steelers practice.
Over the years, I have been lucky enough to be granted field credentials for practice dozens of time and have spent just as much time gawking at the fans line the hills that surround Chuck Noll Field as I do watching the Steelers practice.
It's plain crazy folks.
Fans fill the stands to capacity with thousands of others standing and sitting on the hills just to watch players practice.
Remember when Allen Iverson went crazy over having to report to practice with the 76ers?
Maybe, I'm just jaded after having watched countless Steelers practices and games from field level during my 15-plus years with Allied News, but it's just practice to me -- nothing to get all worked up over.
Or maybe it's just my profession considering many of my compatriots with the Pittsburgh media spend most of practice shooting the breeze with others on the sidelines.
Games, on the otherhand?
That's something I still get excited about even when my buddies would rather watch the game at home with their high def TVs.
I guess that's what it is for all of us — not being able to get enough of Pittsburgh's heart and soul.

Controlling from the outset, Hogan Prep of Kansas City won its first-ever state championship in basketball on Saturday, defeating Strafford 61-46 in Missouri's Class 3 final at Mizzou Arena in Columbia.
Hogan Prep (23-8), a state runner-up in 2010, took a 32-20 lead into the half and was never seriously challenged in the game. Strafford (27-4) cut the lead to eight numerous times but never got closer.
The story of the game was 3-point shooting, which led to the 15-point victory despite Hogan Prep's making only three more field goals. Hogan Prep was 7-of-13 on threes while Stafford could only manage one of 11. Hogan Prep also dominated Strafford in bench points, 14-0.
Broderick Newbill led the way for Hogan Prep with 17 points, including three treys and a perfect four of four from the free-throw line. Maurice Mason contributed 12 points and was 9-of-10 from the line.
Jared Yarberry, Anthony Peters and Connor Wilson headed the Strafford attack with 12, 12 and 10 points, respectively. Peters and Wilson both had seven boards.
Strafford, a school outside Springfield in southern Missouri, hadn't scored over 51 points in any of its previous four playoff games. Hogan Prep was able to continue that streak but was also able to break through the tough Strafford defense unlike previous opponents.

Federal and local officials say a fire that heavily damaged a landmark Capitol Hill hardware store was caused by carelessly discard smoking material.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the fire department said Friday that the June 6 fire at Frager's Hardware was accidental.
Authorities say the fire began in the receiving area on the 11th Street side of the building.
Plumes of smoke could be seen for miles while the fire raged, including over the dome of the U.S. Capitol.
Frager's has been in business about 90 years. The store reopened lawn and garden portion of its business at a nearby location.

I attended Dataversity's NoSQL Now! Conference last week, and among the many vendors I spoke with, one story caught my interest. This vendor (who alas must remain nameless) is a leader in the NoSQL database market, specializing in particular on supporting XML as a native file type.
In their upcoming release, however, they're adding JavaScript support – native JSON as well as Server-Side JavaScript as a language for writing procedures. And while the addition of JavaScript/JSON may be newsworthy in itself, the interesting story here is why they decided to add such support to their database.
True, JavaScript/JSON support is a core feature of competing databases like MongoDB. And yes, customers are asking for this capability. But they don't want JavaScript support because they think it will solve any business problems better than the XML support the database already offers.
The real reason they're adding JavaScript support is because developers are demanding it – because they want JSON on their resumes, and because JSON is cool, whereas XML isn't. So for the people actually responsible for buying database technology, they're asking for JSON support as a recruitment and retention tool.
Will adding JavaScript/JSON support make their database more adept at solving real business problems? Perhaps. But if developers will bolt if your database isn't cool, then coolness suddenly becomes your business driver, for better or worse. One can only wonder: how many other software features are simply the result of the developer coolness factor, independent of any other value to the businesses footing the bill?
Enterprise monitoring needs over the years have been addressed by Microsoft Systems Centre Operations Manager to a large extent. The problem however is that SCOM produces a lot of noise and the data could very quickly become irrelevant for producing any actionable information. IT teams very easily fall in the trap of configuring SCOM for every possible scheme of alerts, but do not put effective mechanisms in place to improve the alert to noise ratio by creating usable knowledge base out of the alerts that are generated by SCOM. Splunk and its cloud avatar, Hunk could be very useful in the following aspects:
In your enterprise, Splunk could be positioned in a layer above SCOM, where it gets the alert log as input for processing and analysis. This pair can be used to address the following enterprise monitoring needs of an organization:
Using Splunk in conjunction with SCOM provides you a very robust enterprise monitoring infrastructure. That said, the true benefit of this stack can be realized only with an appropriate architecture for alert design, a process guidance on thresholds, and identification of key performance indicators to improve the signal to noise ratio.
In my latest Cortex newsletter I referred to "tone deaf" corporations who have flexible technology like corporate social media in place, but lack the organizational flexibility to use it properly. The result is a negative customer experience that defeats the entire purpose of interacting with customers.
Not all large corporations are tone deaf, however. So instead of finding an egregious example of tone deafness and lambasting it, I actually found an example of a corporation who uses social media in an exemplary way. Let's see what Delta Airlines is doing right.
The screenshot above is from the Delta Facebook page. Delta regularly posts promotional and PR pieces to the page, and in this case, they are telling the story of a long-time employee. Giving a human face to the company is a good practice to be sure, but doesn't leverage the social aspect of Facebook – how Delta handles the comments does.
As often happens, a disgruntled customer decided to post a grievance. Delta could have answered with a formulaic response (tone deaf) or chosen not to respond at all (even more tone deaf). But instead, a real person responded with an on-point apology. Furthermore, this real person signed the response with her name (I'll assume Alex is female for the sake of simplicity) – so even though she is posting under the Delta corporate account, the customer, as well as everybody else viewing the interchange, knows a human being at Delta is responding.
If Alex's response ended at a simple apology, however, such a response would still be tone deaf, because it wouldn't have addressed the problem. But in this case, she also provided a link to the complaints page and actually recommended to the customer that she file a formal complaint. In other words, Delta uses social media to empower its customers – the one who complained, and of course, everyone else who happens to see the link.
It could be argued that Alex was simply handing off the customer to someone else, thus passing the buck. In this case, however, I believe the response was the best that could be expected, as the details of the customer's complaint aren't salient for a public forum like social media. Naturally, the complaints Web site might drop the ball, but as far as Delta's handling of social media, they have shown a mastery of the medium.
So, who is Alex? Is she in customer service or public relations? The answer, of course, is both – which shows a customer-facing organizational strategy at Delta that many other companies struggle with. Where is your customer service? Likely in a call center, which you may have even outsourced. Where is your PR? Likely out of your marketing department, or yes, even outsourced to a PR firm.
How do these respective teams interact with customers? The call center rep follows a script, and if a problem deviates, the rep has to escalate to a manager. Any communications from the PR firm go through several approvals within the firm and at the client before they hit the wire. In other words, the power rests centrally with corporate management.
However, not only does a social media response team like Alex's bring together customer service and PR, but whatever script she follows can only be a loose guideline, or responses would sound formulaic, and hence tone deaf. Instead, Delta has empowered Alex and her colleagues to take charge of the customer interaction, and in turn, Alex empowers customers to take control of their interactions with Delta.
The secret to corporate social media success? Empowerment. Trust the people on the front lines to interact with customers, and trust the customer as well. Loosen the ties to management. Social media are social, not hierarchical. After all, Digital Transformation is always about transforming people.
In Visual Studio 2013, the team unified the performance and diagnostics experience (memory profiling, etc.) under one umbrella and named it Performance and Diagnostics Hub. Available under the Debug menu, this option reduces lot of clutter in terms of profiling client and server side code during a debug operation. There was lot of visual noise in the IDE in the 2012 version and the hub is a significant addition in improving developer productivity.
In the Performance and Diagnostics hub, you may select the target, and specify the performance tools with which you would want to run diagnostics. There are various tools that you can use to start capturing the performance matrices like CPU Usage and Memory Allocation. You can collect CPU utilization matrices on a Windows forms based or WPF application.
The latest release of Update 3 brings with it some key enhancements to the CPU and memory usage tools. In the CPU usage tool, you can now right-click on a function name that was captured as part of the diagnostics and click View Source. This will allow you to easily navigate to the code that is consuming CPU in your application. The memory usage tool now allows you to capture memory usage for Win32 and WPF applications.
The hub will also allow you to figure hot paths in the application code that might be causing more CPU cycles and may need refactoring.
You can also look for functions that is doing most work as illustrated in the figure below.
Overall, the Performance and Diagnostics hub has become a useful arsenal for developer productivity and catering to non-functional aspects of the application scope.
Two stories on the Internet of Things (IoT) caught my eye this week. First, IDC's prediction that the IoT market will balloon from US$1.9 trillion in 2013 to $7.1 trillion in 2020. Second, the fact it took hackers 15 seconds to hack the Google Nest thermostat – the device Google wants to make the center of the IoT for the home.
These two stories aren't atypical, either. Gartner has similarly overblown market growth predictions, although they do admit a measure of overhypedness in the IoT market (ya think?). And as far as whether Nest is an unusual instance, unfortunately, the IoT is rife with security problems.
What are we to make of these opposite, potentially contradictory trends? Here are some possibilities:
We simply don't care that the IoT is insecure. We really don't mind that everyone from Russian organized criminals to the script kiddie down the block can hack the IoT. We want it anyway. The benefits outweigh any drawbacks.
Vendors will sufficiently address the IoT's security issues, so by 2020, we'll all be able to live in a reasonably hacker-free (and government spying-free) world of connected things. After all, vendors have done such a splendid job making sure our everyday computers are hack and spy-free so far, right?
Perhaps one or both of the above possibilities will take place, but I'm skeptical. Why, then, all the big numbers? Perhaps it's the analysts themselves? Here are two more possibilities:
Vendors pay analysts (directly or indirectly) to make overblown market size predictions, because such predictions convince customers, investors, and shareholders open their wallets. Never mind the hacker behind the curtain, we're the great and terrible Wizard of IoT!
Analysts simply ignore factors like the public perception of security when making their predictions. Analysts make their market predictions by asking vendors what their revenues were over the last few years, putting the numbers into a spreadsheet, and dragging the cells to the right. Voila! Market predictions. Only there's no room in the spreadsheet for adverse influences like security perception issues.
Maybe the analysts are the problem. Or just as likely, I got out on the wrong side of bed this morning. Be that as it may, here's a contrarian prediction for you:
Both consumers and executives will get fed up with the inability of vendors to secure their gear, and the IoT will wither on the vine.
The wheel is spinning, folks. Which will it be? Time to place your bets!
One of the most fascinating aspects of the Agile Architecture drum I've been beating for the last few years is how multifaceted the topic is. Sometimes the focus is on Enterprise Architecture. Other times I'm talking about APIs and Services. And then there is the data angle, as well as the difficult challenge of semantic interoperability. And finally, there's the Digital Transformation angle, driven by marketing departments who want to tie mobile and social to the Web but struggle with the deeper technology issues.
As it happens, I'll be presenting on each of these topics over the next few weeks. First up, a Webinar on Agile Architecture Challenges & Best Practices I'm running jointly with EITA Global on Tuesday August 19 at 10:00 PDT/1:00 EDT. I'll provide a good amount of depth on Agile Architecture – both architecture for Agile development projects as well as architecture for achieving greater business agility. This Webinar lasts a full ninety minutes, and covers the central topics in Bloomberg Agile Architecture™. If you're interested in my Bloomberg Agile Architecture Certification course, but don't have the time or budget for a three-day course (or you simply don't want to wait for the November launch), then this Webinar is for you.
Next up: my talk at the Dataversity Semantic Technology & Business Conference in San Jose CA, which is collocated with their NoSQL Now! Conference August 19 – 21. My talk is on Dynamic Coupling: The Pot of Gold under the Semantic Rainbow, and I'll be speaking at 3:00 on Thursday August 21st. I'll be doing a deep dive into the challenges of semantic integration at the API level, and how Agile Architectural approaches can resolve such challenges. If you're in the Bay Area the week of August 18th and you'd like to get together, please drop me a line.
If you're interested in lighter, more business-focused fare, come see me at The Innovation Enterprise's Digital Strategy Innovation Summit in San Francisco CA September 25 – 26. I'll be speaking the morning of Thursday September 25th on the topic Why Enterprise Digital Strategies Must Drive IT Modernization. Yes, I know – even for this marketing-centric Digital crowd, I'm still talking about IT, but you'll get to see me talk about it from the business perspective: no deep dives into dynamic APIs or Agile development practices, promise! I'll also be moderating a panel on Factoring Disruptive Tech into Business with top executives from Disney, Sabre, Sephora, and more.
I'm particularly excited about the Digital Strategy Innovation Summit because it's a new crowd for me. I've always tried to place technology into the business context, but so far most of my audience has been technical. Hope you can make it to at least one of these events, if only to see my Digital Transformation debut!
Microsoft Azure Service Bus Event Hubs provide a topic based publish/subscribe messaging platform that allows for high throughput and low latency message processing. A preview version has been recently released by the Microsoft Azure team.
Event Hubs is a component of the service bus, and works alongside service bus topics and queues. Event Hubs provide a perfect platform for collecting event streams from multiple devices and sending them to an analytics engine for processing. This makes it ideal for an Internet of Things (IoT) scenario, where you can capture events from various connected devices and make meaningful decisions based on the ingested event stream.
You can also make use of analytics on the ingress to perform tenant billing, and performance monitoring amongst many possibilities. Event Hubs not only provide a reliable message processing platform, but also support durability for a predefined retention period allowing consumers to connect back in case of a failure.
An Event Hub is part of a Service Bus namespace, and typically consists of a Publisher Policy, Consumer Groups and Partition Keys. A publisher is a logical concept for publishing a message into an Event Hub, and a consumer is a logical concept for receiving messages. Partition allows for scaling Event Hubs and subscribers connect to a partition. Events in a partition are also ordered for delivery.
Currently the supported protocols for pub-sub are HTTP and AMQP. Note that for receiving data only AMQP is currently supported.
The Azure Service Bus NuGet package provides the EventProcessorHost and the EventHubClient API to process messages and send messages to the hub respectively. To start a host that can listen for incoming messages you can create a new instance of the EventProcessorHostas shown below:
host = new EventProcessorHost(
storageConnectionString, eventHubName.ToLowerInvariant());
Note that it is a good practice to share the hub name in lowercase to avoid any case conflicts on names that the subscribers may present. You need to provide the connection strings for the event hub on the service bus namespace, the storage connection string for the queue, the name of the consumer group and a host name. You can then create a processor factory implementation using the IEventProcessorFactory interface to provide a factory implementation for processing the incoming messages. The host instance can then register the factory to listen for ingress using the RegisterEventProcessorFactoryAsync method. Similarly from the client, you can create an instance of the Event Hub Client using the EventHubClient.CreateFromConnectionString method, and then start sending messages using the SendAsync method that the client exposes.
What's wrong with this scenario? Bob, your VP of Engineering brings a ScrumMaster, a Java developer, a UX (user experience) specialist, and a Linux admin into his office. "We need to build this widget app," he says, describing what a product manager told him she wanted. "So go ahead and self-organize."
Bob's intentions are good, right? After all, Agile teams are supposed to be self-organizing. Instead of giving the team specific directions, he laid out the general goal and then asked the team to organize themselves in order to achieve the goal. What could be more Agile than that?
Do you see the problem yet? Let's shed a bit more light by snooping on the next meeting.
The four techies move to a conference room. The ScrumMaster says, "I'm here to make sure you have what you need, and to mentor you as needed. But you three have to self-organize."
The other three look at each other. "Uh, I guess I'll be the Java developer," the Java developer says.
"I'll be responsible for the user interface," the UX person says.
"I guess I'll be responsible for ops," the admin volunteers.
Excellent! The team is now self-organized!
What's wrong with this picture, of course, is that given the size of the team, the constraints of the self-organization were so narrow that there was really no organization to be done, self or not. And while this situation is an overly simplistic example, virtually all self-organizing teams, especially in the enterprise context, have so many explicit and implicit constraints placed upon them that their ability to self-organize is quite limited. As a result, the benefits the overall application creation effort can ever expect to get from such self-organization is paltry at best.
In fact, the behavior of self-organizing teams as well as their efficacy depend upon their goals and constraints. If a team has the wrong goals (or none at all) then self-organization won't yield the desired benefits. Compare, for example, the hacker group Anonymous on the one hand with self-organizing groups like the Underground Railroad or the French Resistance in World War II on the other. Anonymous is self-organizing to be sure, but has no goals imposed externally. Instead, each individual or self-organized group within Anonymous decides on its own goals. The end result is both chaotic and unpredictable, and clearly makes a poor example for self-organization for teams within the enterprise.
In contrast, the Underground Railroad and the French Resistance had clear goals. What drove each effort to self-organize in the manner they did were their respective explicit constraints: get caught and you get thrown in jail or executed. Such drastically negative constraints led in both cases to the formation of semi-autonomous cells with limited inter-cell communication, so that the compromise of one cell wouldn't lead to the compromise of others.
In the case of self-organizing application creation teams, goals should be appropriately high-level. "Code us a 10,000-line Java app" is clearly too low-level, while "improve our corporate bottom line" is probably too high-level. That being said, expressing the business goals (in terms of customer expectations as well as the bottom line) will lead to more effective self-organization than technical goals, since deciding on the specific technical goals should be a result of the self-organization (generally speaking).
The constraints on self-organizing teams are at least as important as the goals. While execution by firing squad is unlikely, there are always explicit constraints, for example, security, availability, and compliance requirements. Implicit constraints, however, are where most of the problems arise.
In the example at the beginning of this article, there was an implicit constraint that the team had precisely four members as listed. In real-world situations teams tend to be larger than this, of course, but if management assigns people to a team and then expects them to self-organize, there's only so much organizing they can do given the implicit management-imposed constraint of team membership.
Motivation also introduces a messy set of implicit constraints. In enterprises, potential team members are generally on salary, and thus their pay doesn't motivate them one way or another to work hard on a particular project. Instead, enterprises have HR processes for determining how well each individual is doing, and for making decisions on raises, reassignments, or firing – mostly independent from performance on specific projects. Such HR processes are implicit constraints that impact individuals' motivation on self-organizing teams – what Adrian Cockcroft calls scar tissue.
A Hypothetical Model for True Self-Organization on Enterprise Application Creation Teams
What would an environment look like if the implicit constraints that result from traditionally run organizations, including management hierarchies and HR policies and procedures, were magically swept away? I'm still placing this discussion in the enterprise context, so business-driven project goals (goals that focus on customers/users and revenues/costs) as well as external, explicit constraints like security and governmental regulations remain. Within those parameters, here's how it might work.
The organization has a large pool of professionals with a diversity of skills and seniority levels. When a business executive identifies a business need for an application, they enter it into an internal digital marketplace, specifying the business goals and the explicit constraints, including how much the business can expect to pay for the successful completion of the project given the benefits to the organization that the project will deliver, and the role the executive as project stakeholder (and other stakeholders) are willing and able to play on the project team. The financial constraint may appear as a fixed price budget or a contingent budget (with a specified list of contingencies).
Members of the professional pool can review all such projects and decide if they might want to participate. If so, they put themselves on the list for the project. Members can also review who has already added themselves to the list and have any discussions they like among that group of people, or other individuals in the pool they might want to reach out to. Based upon those discussions, any group of people can decide they want to take on the project based upon the financial constraints specified, or alternately, propose alternate financial arrangements to the stakeholders. Once the stakeholders and the team come to an agreement, the team gives their commitment to completing the project within the constraints specified. (Of course, if there are no takers, the stakeholder can increase the budget, or perhaps some kind of automated arbitrage like a reverse auction sets the prices.)
The team then organizes themselves however they see fit, and executes on the project in whatever manner they deem appropriate. They work with stakeholders as needed, and the team (including the stakeholders) always has the ability to adjust or renegotiate the terms of the agreement if the team deems it necessary. The team also decides how to divide up the money allotted to the project – how much to pay for tools, how much to pay for the operational environment, and how much to pay themselves.
Do your application creation teams self-organize to this extent? Probably not, as this example is clearly at an extreme. In the real world, the level of self-organization for a given team is a continuous spectrum, ranging from none (all organization is imposed by management) to the extreme example above. Most organizations fall in the middle, as they must work within hierarchical organizations and they don't have the luxury (or the burden) of basing their own pay on market dynamics. But don't fool yourself: simply telling a team to self-organize does not mean they have the ability to do so, given the goals and constraints that form the reality of the application creation process at most organizations.
In the previous post you learned how to setup an Express Node.js application in Microsoft Azure and also make it a unit of continuous deployment using Git. An Express Node.js application in silos without a data store to back it is not very useful. In this post you will explore setting up a MongoDB database using the Microsoft Azure marketplace that can then act as a repository for your Express Node.js web application to store large scale unstructured data. Hosted in Azure, it is limited only by the ability of the platform to scale, which is virtually infinite.
The first thing you would need to do is to subscribe to the MongoLab service from the Microsoft Azure store. MongoLab is a fully hosted MongoDB cloud database that is available with all the major cloud providers, including Azure.
To add MongoLab service to your subscription, click New in your management portal, and select the Store (preview) option.
Note that, depending on your subscription, the store may or may not be available to you. Reach out to Azure support if you need more details.
Find MongoLab from under the App Services category in the store and select to add it to your subscription.
500 MB is free to use. Enter your subscription details in the form that is presented and then click Purchase to complete the operation of adding it to your subscription. You can now use the Mongoose Node.js driver to connect to the MongoLab service database and start storing your model data.
To install the Mongoose driver, run the following command in your console:
npm install mongoose –save
You are now all set to connect to the MongoDB database hosted in Azure. Get the connection string for the hosted instance and then use it in your express Node.js application controller code:
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect('[connection string]');
You can use the model function to get associate a model with the Mongoose schema and then perform your operations on the model data.
Express is a powerful, yet lightweight and flexible web application framework for Node.js. In this post we will explore how you can create and deploy an express application in Microsoft Azure.
First and foremost you need Node.js. Once you have installed Node.js, use the command prompt to install Express.
npm install express
You can also use the –g switch to install express globally rather than to a specific directory.
In addition, you will need to create a web site in Microsoft Azure that will host the application. If you have the Azure SDK for Node.js then you would already have the command line tools, but if not, use the following command to install the Azure command line tool:
npm install azure-cli
Once you have installed Node.js, use the command prompt to create the Express scaffolding using the express command. This will install the scaffolding templates for views, controllers and other relevant resources with Jade and Stylus support:
express --css stylus [Your App Name]
Next, run the install command to install the dependencies
npm install
This command will install the additional dependencies that are required by Express. The express command creates a package.json file that will be used by the Azure command tool to deploy the application and the dependencies in Azure.
The express command creates a folder structure for views, controllers and models to which you can add your own. To modify the default view, you can edit the index.jade file under the views folder and add your own mark-up code. The app.js file under the application folder will contain an instance of express:
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
You can now use VERBs to start defining routes.
In order to deploy the Express app in Azure, first, install the Azure command tools for Node.js if you don't have the SDK installed. The next thing you need to do is to get the publish settings from Azure and import it into your Node.js application using the following commands
azure account download
azure account import <publish settings file path>
Next, you need to create a web site in Azure, and also create a local git repository inside your application folder.
azure site create [your site name] --git
You can now commit your files to your local git repository and then use it to push for deployment to Azure using the following command:
git push azure master
You are now all set. The express Node.js application is deployed in Azure.

NEW YORK (AP)—Author Dominick Dunne, who told stories of shocking crimes among the rich and famous through his magazine articles and best-selling novels such as ``The Two Mrs. Grenvilles,'' died Wednesday at his home in Manhattan. He was 83.
Actor-director Griffin Dunne said in a statement released by Vanity Fair that his father had been battling bladder cancer for some time. But the cancer did not prevent Dunne from working and socializing, his twin passions.
In September 2008, against the orders of his doctor and the wishes of his family, he flew to Las Vegas to attend the kidnap-robbery trial of O.J. Simpson, a postscript to his coverage of Simpson's 1995 murder trial that spiked Dunne's considerable fame.
In the past year, Dunne had traveled to Germany and The Dominican Republic for experimental stem cell treatments to fight his cancer. At one point, he wrote that he and Farrah Fawcett were in the same cancer clinic in Bavaria but did not see each other.
He discontinued his column at Vanity Fair to concentrate on finishing another novel, ``Too Much Money,'' which is to come out in December. He also made a number of appearances to promote a documentary film about his life, ``After the Party,'' which was being released on DVD.
Dunne was beginning to write his memoirs and, until close to the end of his life, he posted online messages on his own Web site commenting on events in his life and thanking his fans for their constant support.
Earlier this summer, he was well enough to attend a Manhattan party hosted by Tina Brown. Chatting with an Associated Press reporter, Dunne recalled being treated for cancer at a hospital in Germany where Fawcett was also a patient. He also spoke of Michael Jackson, who had recently died, and remembered lunching with the singer and Elizabeth Taylor. Jackson was so excited to see her, Dunne said, he presented her with a diamond necklace just for the occasion.
Dunne was part of a famous family that also included his brother, novelist and screenwriter John Gregory Dunne; his brother's wife, author Joan Didion; and his son, Griffin.
A one-time movie producer, Dunne carved a new career starting in the 1980s as a chronicler of the problems of the wealthy and powerful.
Tragedy struck his own life in 1982 when his actress daughter, Dominique, was slain _ and that experience informed his fiction and his journalistic efforts from then on.
``If you go through what I went through, losing my daughter, you have strong, strong feelings of revenge,'' Dunne said in 1990 in discussing his novel, ``People Like Us,'' in which the protagonist shoots the man convicted of killing his daughter.
``As a novelist, I could create a situation in which I could do in the book what I couldn't do in real life. I intended for Gus (the character in the book) to kill the guy. But when I got to that part I couldn't write it. He wounds him and goes to prison himself for a couple of years.''
He was as successful as a journalist as he was as a novelist and spent many of his later years in courtrooms covering high profile trials. Writing for Vanity Fair, he covered such cases as the William Kennedy Smith rape trial in 1991 and the trial of Erik and Lyle Menendez, accused of murdering their millionaire parents, in 1993.
``You're talking about kids who had everything _ the cars, the tennis courts, swimming pools, credit cards. And yet this happened,'' he said at the time of the Menendez trial.
As much as those trials riveted the nation, they were far overshadowed in 1994 when football great O.J. Simpson was accused of killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. With a trial that stretched out over a year and cable TV outlets providing endless coverage, the bespectacled Dunne became a familiar face to millions.
``I especially like to watch the jurors,'' Dunne explained to Fox TV during the trial. ``I always pick out about four jurors who become my favorites. I sort of try to anticipate what they are thinking and how they are reacting.''
He called his book on the Simpson trial, ``Another City, Not My Own,'' ``a novel in the form of a memoir.'' It, too, reached the best-seller lists.
``Every word is true, but it's written in the style of a novel,'' he said.
From the gritty world of the courtroom during the day, he would move into the glamorous realm of high society at night, dining with the rich and famous, charming them with his inside stories of the Simpson trial.

Those on both sides of Logansport's pursuit of developing an electricity plant powered by refuse-derived fuel showed they are continuing to work toward their goals at a panel discussion last week hosted by those skeptical of the project.
Addressing more than 150 attendees at the McHale Performing Arts Center Wednesday night were Morton Marcus, retired director of the Indiana Business Research Center; Bradley Angel, executive director of San Francisco-based Greenaction for Health and Environmental Justice; and Mike Ewall, founder and director of Philadelphia-based Energy Justice Network. The event was sponsored by a local group called the Citizens' Alliance for Responsible Energy, or CARE.
The panelists addressed a proposal by Pyrolyzer LLC, which the city is currently negotiating with to develop an electricity plant powered by refuse-derived fuel.
The panelists contested the company's and the city-hired consultants' claims that the plant's process of pyrolysis doesn't fall under incineration or combustion. In his presentation, Ewall cited the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's definition of municipal waste combustor, which includes pyrolysis, in its list of examples.
The panelists also pointed to the failures of similar projects in the past and suggested citizens to urge elected officials to continue the project with great caution.
"Most of the time, being cautious works very well," Marcus said during his presentation. "This is something new that isn't worth trying ... the Wright brothers didn't start with a 747."
Michael Berkshire, a Logansport resident, attended the discussion.
"I've heard from the city and Pyrolyzer. Now I've heard from the opposition. Now I'd like a third opinion," he said, adding he thinks the engineering department at Purdue University should examine the project.
Logansport City Councilman Bob Bishop, who voted in favor of negotiating with Pyrolyzer, attended the event as well.

Two North Carolina bloggers claim that the artificial dyes in the macaroni and cheese boxed dinners produced by Kraft contain chemicals linked to hyperactivity in children and other health problems.
Lisa Leak and Vani Hari filed a petition against Kraft. They requested the company to remove all artificial dyes from its products.
"Hopefully that will lead to other changes with other products with other companies," said Leak.
The petition received thousands of signatures. Kraft has responded to the campaign saying the FDA has approved both dyes they use.
Kraft representatives reminded they do offer several versions colored naturally in the U.S.

A little after 7 AM today the trucks started rolling into Roanoke Park, bringing the animals and the Big Top! We watched as the animals were unloaded, and the big tent spread out, and the men worked to get ready to raise the tent. Lisa, the elephant, was harnessed and entered the tent and pulled and up went the poles and she was rewarded with a big round up applause!

Comments about
Premium Cigar Ballpoint Pen Kit - Bright Copper
I'm not sure what the other reviewer ran into, but this pen works perfectly and every part fit wonderfully. It has some weight to it, which makes it look and feel like a quality writing instrument. I recommend reading the PDF instruction on putting it together, because it does have different parts than the typical Euro-style or thin pens and you have to pay attention to which part goes into which end. I used purple heart (which in this case turned a beautiful deep purple-brown) and a 25/32 bit for boring the hole, which took a little extra inside sanding to get a good fit. Search on 77C21.pdf to find the assembly instructions.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Bad fit
The top section did not make a flush fit to the bottom section. A gap at least 1/4 inch was showing. No amount of force closed the gap. Cannot use the pen. Beware.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Cold Carb.??
Can someone tell my why my carb. is getting extremely cold where it bolts to the exhaust manifold while the engine is running. Will it hurt anything?
Re: Cold Carb.??
At that point the evaporating gas inside is working exactly the same as the refrigerant in your freezer. I'd be more concerned if it didn't get cold.

Re: Cold Carb.??
Exactly as George said - evaporation. When I drag raced we ran alcohol in a pull-through turbo setup. It was neat after a run to see thick frost falling off the carb right next to a glowing red-hot turbo charger.
