Agenda for Club Meeting on August 12
Slowly but surely your club secretary is working back through years of minutes to post them to this site. You will be able to find them all here: http://capitalconfectioners.com/meeting-minutes/. There won't be a blog post to announce each new minutes going up, but hopefully once the backlog is posted, new ones will be up within a week or so of meetings.

Make It Sweet Bake Sale Benefits Club!
As Jennifer Bartos of Make it Sweet mentioned at our last club meeting, the store will be having an Open House event on July 1 and 2 during their regular business hours. There'll be plenty of activities for all ages, including a bake sale with proceeds benefitting Capital Confectioners.
The public (especially club members!) are asked to donate baked goods for the sale. This is a great opportunity to try out recipes for bars or cookies you've seen in books or online without having to eat a whole batch! With Independence Day later that week, you can bring themed desserts if you wish, or go for a summer or other theme, or just something undecorated that tastes yummy.
Please bring donations to Make it Sweet during business hours on Monday, June 30 or just before opening at 10 am on July 1. If you have a baking business, you can leave some of your business cards to be handed out as well. Then stay to shop, play, and have fun!
And of course even if you can't bring a baked good, you can come by to buy some! Tell your friends and family and help spread the word!

Highland Mall Notes
We are still working out details for the procedures to have cake competitors bring their masterpieces into the show at our new venue of Highland Mall. All registered competitors (and you MUST pre-register by this Sunday if you wish to compete, including children) will be getting complete information soon on these procedures. Please be patient with us as we work out the details to make it as efficient and easy as possible for everyone.
In the meantime since there have been so many questions about where loading will take place, I've screencapped some Google Map satellite images to better show you the optimal entry points and adjacent parking lots. Remember: there is another event at the mall on the Saturday of the show from 10 am to 2 pm that will draw 10,000 people, so if you are competing we cannot overstate the importance of bringing your cake as early as possible. That's why we're offering bonus raffle tickets to those who bring their cakes between 5 pm and 8 pm on Friday night. If you must come Saturday morning, be sure to come as close to the 7 am registration opening time as possible. If you come close to 10, you may not be able to find parking fast enough to get your cake inside!
Here are the screenshots, taken from the map here:
That's a shot of the entire mall, showing Airport Blvd and the 35. Whichever direction you approach from, you want to come around to the South Entrance (which is marked as such but in smallish, white letters on a window), where the red arrow is pointing. There's a great big Tinkertoy-like sculpture by the door. That's the best place to enter for attending the show, volunteering, etc. You can also come in the North Entrance which also has one of those Tinkery-toy sculptures and is marked with the blue arrow, but that's not as good for loading purposes as you can see from the next screencap.
Zoomed in on the South Entrance, I've once again marked the main entrance with a red arrow, and you can see the sculpture fairly well:
The blue arrow is where vendors and competitors will bring their items in. We don't know yet if we'll be allowing anyone to drive into that driveway area, so assume for now that you can't. The prime parking spots for competitors will thus be where you can see the cars parked in that screenshot. So again, come very, very early if you want to make sure you're parked close to the entry! With this other event happening, we cannot guarantee spots will be available close to the door and you don't want to have to carry your cake up the incline if you have to park far into the south lot.
Again, more details will be sent to all registered competitors once we've worked them out. Thank you for your continued patience as we volunteers all work very, very hard to plan this for everyone's optimal benefit.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Question from lodragon25
How do i get the imperial guards to stop attacking me everywhere?
I was arrested and at the end of my sentence found the evidence chest. I took all my stuff and escaped using invisibility. then i went to the south wall club in balmora and payed of my bounty. still whenever i go near a town that has imperial guards they kill me without asking me to pay anything or go to jail. HELP.
This question is open with pending answers, but none have been accepted yet

Its probably because you have to big a bounty and they sentenced you to death. is it every time you talk to someone they scream "Help! It's the notorious outlaw so-and-so"? well talk to the bounty removel guy again. The game might have a glitch. your lucky. you get easy training. try to get ordinators to attack next. wear there armor and they will attack when you talk to them(sorry for changing the subject) and for each one you kill you get somewhere around 100,000 gold for selling the armor
Your bounty got so high that you were given a death sentence. Sadly, paying off your bounty doesn't get rid of the death sentence. There are two quests in the game that do this. One is the Larrius Varo bloodbath quest. He's in the Moonmoth fortress near Balmora. Talk to him and he'll ask you to kill some people in the Balmora council club. Go hither and wipe them out. He should remove the death sentence.
The other quest is only for people playing the game as a male. In the bar at Pelagiad, there is a female khajiit who will have some topic about sweet moves or something. Do her quests and she'll eventually remove the death sentence for you.

I was in your exact shoes. Depo for a decade, happy happy no bleeding no worries, and then BAM! Osteopenia, no more Depo. At first I tried a couple of different BC pills continuously, but both of the ones I tried still left me bleeding a lot, and my gynecologist at the time (a woman!) was highly unsympathetic and told me "every woman has to deal with some bleeding" and basically that I needed to get over myself and suck it up. I refused to accept that, and so should you. Eventually I got another doctor who found me another BC pill that I take continuously and I'm blessedly bleed-free.posted by cortex at 6:57 AM on August 17, 2011 [3 favorites]
It's true that taking pills every day is a bit of a pain compared to getting a shot in the butt every three months or changing a ring every few weeks, but I don't care because YAY NO BLEEDING!
So talk to your doctor about continuous BC, as Forktine suggested, and if your doctor is reluctant, or talks down to you, or tells you to get over it -- find another doctor. It's the 21st century. There's no medical reason women should have to bleed every month if they don't want to, any more than men have to "just live with" erectile dysfunction when there are solutions available to help.
Good luck!
I have a Mirena and love it. My periods were incredibly light and on/off for the first couple of months, and I haven't had one now in a about a year.posted by cortex at 7:41 AM on August 17, 2011 [1 favorite]
I never had bad pms symptoms and I don't have any now (it's possible I've stopped ovulating, which does happen to some women on the Mirena). I was nervous at first because of the hormones but I was so sick of the extra long periods from the copper IUD, and my gynecologist was really reassuring about the actual rate of negative side effects, that I decided to try it.
Without a condom, my boyfriend could feel the strings for the first couple of months, and occasionally by some combination of their movement and ours it would be uncomfortable/poky on him. We'd just pause, I'd reach up and push them to the side of my cervix, and it would be fine. After a while the strings get soft so even when he does feel them, he says it's not unpleasant.
It hurts to put in if you haven't had kids, but if your insurance covers it, it is so definitely worth trying.

The severity of liver fibrosis is known to be a good indicator for surveillance, and for determining the prognosis and optimal treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, it is virtually impossible to carry out liver biopsies in all NAFLD patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical usefulness of measuring the platelet count for predicting the severity of liver fibrosis in a large retrospective cohort of Japanese patients with NAFLD.
A total of 1,048 patients with liver-biopsy-confirmed NAFLD seen between 2002 and 2008 were enrolled from nine hepatology centers in Japan. Laboratory evaluations were performed for all patients.
A linear decrease of the platelet count with increasing histological severity of hepatic fibrosis was revealed. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve estimating the diagnostic performance of the platelet count for hepatic fibrosis Stage 3 was 0.774 (optimal cutoff value, 19.2 × 104/μl; sensitivity, 62.7%; specificity, 76.3%), and that for Stage 4 was 0.918 (optimal cutoff value, 15.3 × 104/μl; sensitivity, 80.5%; specificity, 88.8%).
The platelet count may be an ideal biomarker of the severity of fibrosis in NAFLD patients, because it is simple, easy to measure and handle, cost-effective, and accurate for predicting the severity of fibrosis. Furthermore, by using the platelet count cutoff value validated in our multiple large trials, efficient recruitment of NAFLD patients may be facilitated.

The thumb piano originates in Africa. It is also known as the mbira or likembe. The metal keys are mounted on a wooden box that acts as the resonating chamber. To play, rest the thumb piano on the fingers of both hands and hold it between your palms. Cover the vibrato holes with your fingers. Then pluck the keys with your thumbs. As you play you can un-cover and cover the vibrato holes as you like. Many different tunings are acceptable, according to personal preference. Specific tuning of a thumb piano is only an issue when two instruments are played together; then they should generally agree in tuning. Otherwise, the tuning is subjective and should only be pleasing to the player. The longer keys have lower pitches and shorter keys have higher pitches. The keys can be adjusted by tapping them in or out to adjust their length, and therefore their pitch.

Short walk to Bourbon St, however off the wild party area.
We had a bachelor party above us and they were very noisy.
pool, rooms, breakfast
wifi a bit weak in places
This hotel, with not only one but two pools, was an excellent value and find for the city of New Orleans
Authentic rooms in the Louisiana style with magic atmosphere. You can feel like it's your home when goîg from your bed to the swimming pool for a swim or reading. Great people.
It was close to the main street but far enough away that you didn't hear anything. It had a great view of the city skyline.
The neighbourhood.
Loved everything about it and loved the safety that We had at the New Orleans Courtyard Hotel, Friendly Staff, loved the room that I had, just 2 or 3 roads down from Bourbon Street and had a fun time, I'll be coming back to this one....
Lovely, helpful staff, beautiful room and pool, totally value for money and a good location set back a bit from the main part of town but totally safe and walkable. Free coffee and water available 24hrs. I loved this hotel and would recommend to anyone.
The wifi was a bit dodgy at times and the breakfast could have had a few options that didn't involve bread - more fresh fruit, yoghurt etc. My shower wasn't hot but to be fair I didn't bother to tell them this so didn't give them the chance to come and sort it out, which I'm sure they would have done.
Loved everything ! This was our 2nd time staying here. N plan on staying here again. price n location could not beat it.
The location was great. Walking distance to Quarter, cab ride to Garden District. Was perfect for our trip. It is an old home made into a hotel with great results. We will stay there again!
The lady at the front desk was great. Signed us up for a ghost tour and called a cab while my husband was getting our luggage so we could go on the tour departing in 15 minutes. The room was great....loved the brick walls and floor. Nice and cool in the NO heat. Loved it and wish we could have stayed longer!
Loved the friendly staff and cute set up of the place.
The beds were not comfy. :(
We loved everything about our stay.They put little refrigerator in the room for insulin storage. Excellent office staff, nice breakfast,location and very friendly atmosphere.
nice pool, friendly staff, good location
noise of the pool at night, a bit expensive for the value
Nice pool area. Staff very nice.
Stairs, I am just to out of shape for so many stairs.
Nice location convenient to French Quarter but away from drunken tourists. Nice courtyard and pool area. Friendly staff and good room service. Parking is available for $25 a day...which is on a par with local parking lots nearby.
Limited inside parking. Floors of upper two story rooms are wooden and it can be quite noisy if your room is on ground floor. Continental breakfast is limited but adequate if you don't mind eating the same thing everyday.
Very fast Wireless, nice an clean pool in the courtyard, typically New Orleans style. The location is very good and very close to the French Quarter.
Breakfast is poor. The rooms are really small so we had problems to store our luggage. Also the bathroom has very less space for the sanitary products. The fittings are old and the shower is not working well.
Room was on first floor. Next to pool
A little too much walking to get to the satchfest
Quiet. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
The room didn't have an iron or coffee maker, but you can get an iron from the receptionist and they serve coffee in the lobby. The a/c was loud. You can hear water running on toilet all the time. No elevator. Not as close to the French Quarters or Boubon St. as I would have liked.
Every thing. Staff, food , location. Love it
No refrigerator or microwave in room
Value for money was excellent. Location great. Bathroom was good everything worked fine, good shower. Bedrooms were decent size and very clean.
Wifi was a little weak during evening but went out anyways at night
The office staff were excellent. The rooms and other facilities were very good.
Housekeeping was below par. Previous guests had used the ice bucket as a trash can and it had not been emptied. Toiletries were not refilled after the first day.
Loved everything about my stay.
The pool, courtyard gated parking
Checkin reception was kind of dry
Comfy rooms, effective aircon, nice continental breakfast, friendly atmosphere. Coffee available all day.
Only one pillow
The lady who checked me in and out (Eugenie) was very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was better than many hotels provide in the US i.e. there was some fresh fruit and sliced tomatoes. It was an easy 10 min walk into the French quarter and downtown (20 min). My room was perfectly adequate although small and somewhat dark. Whilst I preferred the residential location rather than being in the thick of things, the hotel is on a busy main road at the far east of the main areas and therefore there are less facilities very close by.
Only a couple of gripes - I could hear the people in the room next door and some of the pool users were too noisy, too late in the evening. The taxi from the airport to the hotel cost me $19 but the taxi ordered for me from the hotel to get me back to the airport cost $33 plus gratuity which was a nasty shock.

Officers suggest-- if you can-- wait until close to the time your garbage is collected. Another tip would be to turn the box inside out making it harder to see lables--or put it into a community dumpster away from your home.

Recently I wrote a Fanpost entitled, Looking Back to Previous Drafts.
I ventured back through some of the greatest Bronco players of all time beginning in 1972. I did not go back to 1960.
Let me begin by stating it will take a while for me to explain one important issue that the present day Broncos lack. However we are on the path to fixing this issue. Let's begin…
One of the great drafts was in 1973 when Coach John Ralston drafted
Otic Armstrong RB (8),
Barney Chavious DE (13),
Paul Howard G (13)
Tommy Jackson LB (14).
Six years later they were the core players that helped take the Broncos to their first Super Bowl. When the Broncos went to the Super Bowl these players were six year veterans DRAFTED by the Broncos. (How many Bronco six year draftee's do we have on our roster?)
In addition to these players were other older Bronco draftees:
Paul Smith DT 10 Years
Billy Thompson DB 9 years
Lyle Alzado DE 7 years
Our great younger players then were:
Claudie Minor OT 4 years
John Keyworth RB 4 years
Randy Gradishar LB 4 years
Louis Wright DB 3 years
Rubin Carter DT 3 years
Rick Upchurch WR 3 years
Steve Foley DB 2 years
Larry Evens 2 years
Glen Hyde 2 years
Billy Bryan Rookie
Rob Lytle Rookie
Other great Players not drafted by the Broncos:
Kicker Jim Turner 14 years
Quarterback Craig Morton 14 years
Center Bobby Maples 13 years
Wide Receiver Haven Moses 11 years.
Turner had been a Bronco for 7 years, Moses and Maples each for 6 years. 1977 was QB Craig Morton's first year with the Broncos.
Look at the foundation the 1978 Super Bowl team had from Broncos draftees. (Are we on this path?)
The 1978 SB Broncos had 10 players that had been together for six years. The 2014 Broncos had ONLY three players that had been together for six years, Champ Bailey, Matt Prater and Ryan Clady. When we look at the SB 2014 Broncos the most senior player drafted by the Broncos was 6 year veteran Ryan Clady who was injured and did not play.
The Broncos had three 5th year players, Britton Colquitt, Tony Carter and David Bruton. Although our views are subjective. I think many of us would agree that neither Carter or Bruton would come close to playing on the level of a Tommy Jackson LB, Steve Foley DB, or a Louis Wright DB. They are OK but not nearly as great.
I understand there were many reasons why the Broncos were horribly beaten in the 2014 SB. I am saying the cohesiveness and camaraderie of spending years together is a present are the Broncos lack. I also understand that the 1978 Broncos were defeated. Yet we could look at the 1997 / 1998 Bronco SB winners…
A quick glance of the Super Bowl Broncos
The 1997 Broncos had four players with 8 or more years together. John Elway QB 15 years Tyrone Braxton DB 10 Years
Steve Atwater DB 9 years
Shannon Sharp 8 years
The 1997 Broncos had many players that played together for 4 - 5 years... So when I wrote the Fanpost, Looking Back to Previous Drafts a portion of my intent was to draw attention to the fact that even though we want to win now our team was decimated before John Elway became Executive Vice President of Football Operations.
This is an important area which was lacking from the 2014 Broncos SB team. I cannot say how much weight should be given to the number of players that have been in the trenches together for years. However if we look back to the 2014 SB loss we can say what could have been and should have been and may have been if we had a foundation of players who had played together at least five years. The Broncos made a ton of rookie type mistakes that perhaps may have been eliminated if we had veteran players like in 1978 SB.
Here is an example of what I am saying
If we revisit this conversation at the end of 2016 how many of the 16 following players will still be playing for the Broncos?
The list of 16 Players
Von Miller LB,
Rahim Moore CB,
Orlando Franklin OT,
Nate Irving OLB,
Quinton Carter DB,
Julis Thomas TE,
Virgil Green TE,
Matt Prater K,
Jacob Tamme TE,
Chris Harris Jr. CB,
Matt Prater K,
Britton Colquitt P,
Tony Carter CB
David Bruton CB
If the remaining players from this list are on the Broncos roster at the end of 2016 they will have played 6 seasons together. If ten from this list remain they will match the 1978 SB Roster with 10 Broncos playing together on the same team for 6+ years. If the remaining players from this list are on the Broncos roster at the end of 2018 they will have played 8 seasons together. If four from this list remain they will match the 1997 SB Roster with 4 Broncos playing together on the same team for 8+ years. A number of these players will be gone! They will retire or be replaced by new draftees. Some will be gone like Zane Beadles and Eric Deckers and DRC - because of salary limitations…
Having great players stay on the same team for most of their career is an important part of building a foundation that only playing together provides. In the Fanpost
one of the points I was trying to make was John Elway's FO team have made great strides in being astute in the draft selections with 20 of 23 players they drafted still on the roster. This is also an area where we applaud Pat Bowlen. Mr Bowlen has provided the resources. Go to the Broncos NFL Page. Look under staff. Notice the professional staff Mr. Bowlen pays to assist Elway in getting the most out of a draft pick even when you draft 31st in the draft.
I would like to share a little story about the old time Broncos after reviewing the history of Bronco owners.
Bronco Owners
Bob Howsam 1959 - 1961
Gerald Phipps 1961 - 1981
Edgar Kaiser - 1981 - 1984
Pat Bowlen - 1984 - Present
There is a very interesting article entitled The Life and Times of Fred Gehrke written by Peter Vischansky and published in the Pennsylvania Football news. This is a three page article that is very worth while reading. I want to quote several brief paragraphs to help establish what Mr. Bowlen has done as owner for the Broncos.
From out of the blue in 1964, a phone call came from an old football chum, Mac Speedie, who played on the University of Utah football team a couple of years behind Gehrke. Mac Speedie had landed the head coaching job with the Denver Broncos in American Football League. Speedie needed scouts and wanted Fred to become a pro scout for him. Gehrke, seeing this as a risky venture, said no. Time passed Speedie, ever persistent, and aware of Gehrke's football savvy, called and offered the aircraft industry executive a position of assistant coach/ director of player personnel for a salary of $10,000, a pay cut from his salary at Northrup Aircraft. Again, Gehrke declined, but Speedie, not willing to let Gehrke slip away, upped the offer to $12,000. Gehrke, tired of dealing with people on administrative end of aircraft industry, relented and accepted the post.
When he returned to Denver, Gehrke's first request to Speedie was,"Let's see the offices!" Those offices were next to the stadium. The new director of player personnel was pleasantly surprised to see a brick faced front on his offices. Unfortunately it was a facade disguising a metal military quanset hut ( a half -cylindrical type shelter with downward curved ceilings.) Ducking his head, he sat behind the desk anxious to get to work. A knock on the door, preceded the appearance of Gerald Phipps, the owner of the Broncos whom Fred had never met. When Phipps entered, Gehrke stood to greet him and promptly bumped his head on the ceiling. Mr. Phipps said, "Don't worry; it'll get better." 3 THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 22, No. 3 (2000) Gehrke thought, "How could it get any worse?" That question was answered upon inspection of the stadium and practice field. Bears Stadium, ( later renamed Mile High Stadium ), was an old baseball park with a capacity of only 37,000. It was necessary to set up bleachers on the east side of the stadium so it would resemble a football stadium. The dressing room was under leaky plumbing ; only two working shower heads were available to players. Players sat at little booths separated by chicken wire. The practice field, a downhill slope, measured only about 80 yards. It was impossible to run an out pattern to one side of the practice field because a fence was close to the sideline. Gehrke had seen better conditions in the semi-pro leagues.
In the Fanpost Looking Back to Previous Drafts I point out that the drafts in John Ralston time were 17 rounds which over the years became 12 rounds until today which is 7 rounds. The point is the Broncos had no resources, No money and No scouting department. When Dan Reeves came along it was still awful. This is in part how we drafted Ted Gregory in the 1st round.
Today thanks to Pat Bowlen the Broncos will compete down the line on every draft pick. And John Elway's FO is determined to get the absolute best pick for each round. Providing this continues the NFL hasn't seen anything yet, from the Broncos! I look for the Broncos under Pat Bowlen and John Elway to be the very Best in near future. I look for them to build the Broncos to be one of the most if not the most domination team in the NFL.
Mark Kiszla wrote in The Denver Post. 'Sure, the NFL is transient work. Roster turnover is inevitable and, for the Broncos, it was absolutely necessary to erase a chunk of bad institutional memory after losing by five touchdowns to Seattle… Super Bowl money doesn't buy loyalty, so it's hard to expect Talib to become a man who strengthens the fabric of this team's personality to anywhere near the same extent as cornerback Chris Harris, who fought and scratched his way on the roster as an undrafted free agent in 2011… You can't sign a veteran from out of town and expect him to bleed orange. Only the draft can put the orange in the Broncos.'
Broncos Super Bowl Roster 1978 vs Dallas 27 - 10 - LOSS
Broncos Super Bowl Roster 1987 vs NT Giants 39-20 - LOSS
Broncos Super Bowl Roster 1988 vs Washington 42 - 10 - LOSS

New 1.2TB Ultrastar™ C10K1200 Provides 33 Percent More Capacity for Improved Storage Efficiency in Tier 1 Mission-Critical Cloud and Enterprise Servers and Storage Systems
SAN JOSE, Calif, January 29, 2013 - HGST (formerly Hitachi Global Storage Technologies and now a Western Digital company, NASDAQ: WDC) today announced the industry's highest-capacity 10,000 RPM, enterprise-class hard drive - the Ultrastar C10K1200. Providing a capacity extension to HGST's proven Ultrastar C10K900 product line, the new 2.5-inch Ultrastar C10K1200 features a SAS 6Gb/s interface for reliable data throughput, a 64MB cache buffer for optimised read/write response time, and a fast 10K rotational speed for reliable high-performance computing. All this, combined with the drive's low power, high capacity and high performance attributes, results in higher density servers, blades and network storage arrays that helps reduce space requirements, lowers cooling costs and improves total cost of ownership (TCO).
Best Capacity-Performance for Mission Critical Applications
Increasing storage needs, shrinking floor space and budgets, and reducing power and cooling are just a few challenges that datacentre managers face today, making it challenging to scale and sustain business growth. Whether building datacentres for public clouds, private clouds or traditional datacentres, adopting the right tiered storage strategy delivers greater efficiencies in terms of reliability, performance, capacity and power, and can make a vast difference in the ability to lower TCO.
As the only 1.2TB 10,000 RPM enterprise-class SAS hard drive in the industry, and one with a 2.0 million hours mean time between failure (MTBF) specification, the Ultrastar C10K1200 is the ultimate solution for 24x7 enterprise applications such as data mining/analysis, business processing and timely delivery of data-intensive content-on-demand such as multiple channels of streaming video. For space and/or power constrained cloud or enterprise datacentre environments, the 1.2TB Ultrastar C10K1200 drive delivers 33 percent more capacity in the same 2.5-inch form factor, giving IT managers the ability to now store 28.8 TBs in a 2U, 24-bay rackmount server. The Ultrastar C10K1200 drive also helps datacentres achieve lower AC power and HVAC requirements. With HGST Advanced Power Management technology, with multi-state idle modes, the Ultrastar C10K1200 uses less than 5W during idle mode, freeing up precious headroom for growing datacentre needs.
Storage Tiering with 10K Performance HDDs
Every datacentre application has a specific set of capacity and performance requirements. Storage tiering helps place the right storage in the right place, balancing capacity, performance and cost. And contrary to popular belief, hard drives will retain their function for the foreseeable future as the primary form of storage from a cost and performance standpoint for large capacity, high-performance storage. The key to a sound tiering strategy is to identify where the highest performance is needed, then segment the Tier 0 and Tier 1 layers between enterprise-class SSDs and 10K RPM performance drives.
The Ultrastar C10K1200 is based on common Ultrastar C10K900 technologies to ensure greater reliability and reduced qualification times. Designed with the similar system architecture, HGST's Ultrastar 10K performance HDDs are designed to be plug-compatible with Ultrastar solid state drives. This allows IT managers to easily swap an SSD with a 10K hard drive in order to effectively scale and tier applications, as SSDs provide the best IOPs/watt for reducing TCO, while 10K performance drives are more cost effective from a dollar-per-GB and capacity-performance perspective. A common HDD and SSD architecture also speeds up the drive qualification process and gives IT managers the ability to mix and match drives to ensure scale and flexibility for easier deployment, maintenance and upgrades.
The Ultrastar C10K1200 drive includes a host of industrial-strength technologies designed to maximise reliability for mission-critical workloads. Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) motors deliver a low acoustic rating and improved data integrity, while Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) technology anticipates and counteracts disturbances that can occur in multi-drive configurations. In addition, the Ultrastar C10K1200 uses HGST-patented head load/unload ramp to minimise integration induced drive damage.
For added data security, select models of the Ultrastar C10K1200 offer Bulk Data Encryption for hard drive-level data security. These self-encrypting models are designed to the Trusted Computing Group's Enterprise A Security Subsystem Class encryption specification and allow customers to reduce costs associated with drive retirement and extend drive life by enabling swift and secure repurposing of drives.
"We are pleased to be the first to ship server and storage systems using HGST's new 1.2TB Ultrastar C10K1200 enterprise-class drives," said Peter Korce, vice president and general manager, Dell Storage. "The new HGST drives complement our offerings, helping to deliver the performance, capacity, and reliability that customers have come to expect from our Dell PowerEdge® and PowerVault® solutions."
The new 2.5-inch Ultrastar C10K1200 hard drive is shipping today, and has been qualified by select OEMs.

Hardware will never be more valuable than on the day it hits your loading dock. Each day new servers are not deployed to production the business is losing money. While Moore's Law is typically cited to explain the exponential density growth of chips, a critical consequence of this is rapid depreciation of servers. The hardware for clustered systems (e.g., Hadoop, OpenStack) tends to be significant capital expenses. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Mason Katz, CTO and co-founder of StackIQ, to discuss how infrastructure teams should be aware of the capitalization and depreciation model of these expenses to fully understand when and where automation is critical.

Most of today's hardware manufacturers are building servers with at least one SATA Port, but not every systems engineer utilizes them. This is considered a loss in the game of maximizing potential storage space in a fixed unit. The SATADOM Series was created by Innodisk as a high-performance, small form factor boot drive with low power consumption to be plugged into the unused SATA port on your server board as an alternative to hard drive or USB boot-up. Built for 1U systems, this powerful device is smaller than a one dollar coin, and frees up otherwise dead space on your motherboard. To meet the requirements of tomorrow's cloud hardware, Innodisk invested internal R&D resources to develop our SATA III series of products. The SATA III SATADOM boasts 500/180MBs R/W Speeds respectively, or double R/W Speed of SATA II products.

As more applications and services move "to the cloud" (public or on-premise) cloud environments are increasingly adopting and building out traditional enterprise features. This in turn is enabling and encouraging cloud adoption from enterprise users. In many ways the definition is blurring as features like continuous operation, geo-distribution or on-demand capacity become the norm. NuoDB is involved in both building enterprise software and using enterprise cloud capabilities. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Seth Proctor, CTO at NuoDB, Inc., will discuss the experiences from building, deploying and using enterprise services and suggest some ways to approach moving enterprise applications into a cloud model.

Sorry I haven't posted any jokes lately. My sister-in-law passed away last Thursday morning at 9 am. I have been in TN with my husband for the funeral. It was hard on him because he only found her last April after being seperated for 66 years. She was the sweetest member of the family.
I will post a couple today, and then I have to make up the mid-term exams I missed because of the funeral.

Sombath Somphone, Lao NGO activist, has been disappeared since December 15, 2012. He is the founder of Participatory Development Training Center (PADETC), Vientiane, Lao PDR. He has been working for 30 years to promote sustainable development through training and educating young people.
Closed circuit video footage from police security cameras showed Mr Sombath, founder of a local non-government organisation Padetc, being stopped by traffic police at a roadside post while he was driving home from work in Vientiane, the Lao capital, in mid-December. Mr Sombath was following his Singaporean wife in a separate car but never arrived home. The government has denied he was taken into custody at the stop, which they said was a "routine" check, but grainy CCTV footage shows a man resembling Mr Sombath being driven away by uniformed Lao officials.
The UN and some western governments are preparing to put fresh questions to the Lao government over the mysterious disappearance in mid-December of the prominent education and health campaigner, after Vientiane late last week rejected suggestions by the UN of state involvement in the case.
The EU and the US have publicly called for explanation. Lady Ashton, EU foreign policy chief, last month expressed "deep concern" about Mr Sombath's disappearance and urged the Lao government to "investigate" the case. In Washington, Victoria Nuland, state department spokeswoman, said the US had asked the government "to make every effort to locate him and figure out what's happened".
UN human rights officials, meanwhile, have suggested Mr Sombath was detained by the state because of his work. "We are highly concerned for his safety and believe his abduction may be related to his human rights work," a UN human rights spokesman said in late December, noting "what appeared to be" Mr Sombath's "enforced disappearance", a phrase which under international law implicates the government.
In 2005, Sombath Somphone received the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Community Leadership in recognition of his hopeful efforts to promote sustainable development in Laos by training and motivating its young people to become a generation of leaders.

The Navi Mumbai Metro is a rapid transit system under construction in the Indian city of Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra. The planning and construction of the Navi Mumbai Metro is being overseen by the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO). The foundation stone for the project was laid on 1 May 2011,[1] and the first line is expected to open in 2016.[2]
The completed system is planned to consist of five rail lines covering a total distance of 106.4 kilometres (66.1 mi).[3]
Due to Navi Mumbai's growing population and the anticipated future demand for public transport, the government envisaged developing metro rail corridors in Navi Mumbai in addition to the suburban rail system and bus based public transport system, in order to establish better North-South and East-West connectivity between all the residential nodes, and to improve connectivity with Mumbai's transportation system. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), which was entrusted with the task of conducting feasibility study, proposed connectivity by metro rail, due to various merits on account of it being energy efficient, pollution free and occupying less land space as compared to other modes of transport. The DMRC proposed six metro corridors in Navi Mumbai, but out of these, Uran-Ranjanpada-Nerul and Ranjanpada-Kharkopar-Seawoods were later decided to be made as suburban railway corridors. In total five lines were finalized for development in phases.[3]
The Navi Mumbai Metro project received formal approval on 29 April 2010, and a public hearing on 21 May 2010 reported no major objections to the plan.[4] as the implementing agency of the Belapur-Pendhar-Kalamboli-Khandeshwar line, under the Indian Tramway Act 1886, by the Government of Maharashtra on 30 September 2010.[3][5] The state government later asked the CIDCO to implement the Navi Mumbai Metro project under the Central Metro Act.[2] The metro's foundation stone was laid on 1 May 2011 by Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan, and general foundation work on the system's first phase commenced in October 2011.[1] In March 2012, CIDCO released the metro's complete master plan, including a proposed connection to the Mumbai Metro.[5] Following the approval for the implementation of the Navi Mumbai International Airport, the master plan of Navi Mumbai's connectivity was reviewed. The consultancy contract was awarded to LEA Associates South Asia Pvt. Ltd. to review the Master Plan and suggest new airport connectivity for Mumbai by various means of transport. LEA Associates South Asia Pvt. Ltd. recommended lines from Mankhurd to Panvel and Sewree-Kharkopar-Airport as metro rail corridor. A final list of 5 corridors was finalized based upon DMRC and LEA Associates South Asia Pvt. Ltd's. recommendations.[6]
In February 2013, thousands of villagers in the Navi Mumbai area protested against CIDCO's inaction on local housing developments and its failure to provide restitution for locals affected by infrastructure projects. The protesters pledged to "shut down the CIDCO head office and all development projects in the region. These will include the metro project and any progress on the airport project".[7]
Currently, Line 1 of the Navi Mumbai Metro is under construction, with planned operation in 2016.
The Navi Mumbai Metro is planned to consist of five lines, totaling 106.4 kilometres (66.1 mi) in length.[3]
Line 1[edit]
Phase I of Line 1 was executed using CIDCO funds. The total cost of Line 1 is estimated to be 4068 crore (US$680 million).[3]
The 23.40-kilometre (14.54 mi) long Line 1 consists of 20 stations from Belapur to Khandeshwar. The proposed route will link Belapur, Kharghar, Taloje, MIDC, Kalamboli and the Khandeshwar railway station, terminating at the proposed Navi Mumbai International Airport.[4] It is expected to cost 4063 crore (US$670 million). Line 1 is expected to be completed by 2016.
Line 1 is planned to be developed in 3 phases:[3]
|Line 1
|Phase I
|11.10 kilometres (6.90 mi)
|1985 crore (US$330 million)
|Phase II
|MIDC Taloja-Kalamboli–Khandeshwar (extension to Airport proposed)
|10.30 kilometres (6.40 mi)
|1509 crore (US$250 million)
|Phase III
|Interlink between Pendhar and MIDC
|2 kilometres (1.2 mi)
|574 crore (US$95 million)
|23.40 kilometres (14.54 mi)
|4068 crore (US$680 million)
The superstructure of a large part of the viaduct comprises simply supported spans. However at major crossings, over or along the existing bridge, special steel or continuous units are provided. Normally, the Box Girder having a soffit width of approximately 9.70m accommodates the two tracks situated at 4.1 m centre to centre (c/c). The Box Girder superstructure, for almost all the simply supported standard spans, is constructed by precast prestressed segmental construction with epoxy bonded joints. The max spans c/c of piers of standard simply supported spans constructed by precast segmental construction technique were proposed as 28 m. The usual segments are 3m in length except the Diaphragm segments, which are 2m each. The other standard spans (c/c of pier) comprises 25m, 31m & 22m, which are made by removing/adding the usual segments of 3m each from the centre of the span. The pier segment was finalized based on simply supported span of 31m, and the same was also kept for all simply supported standard span. For major crossing having spans greater than 31m, special units normally of 3 – span construction or steel girders were envisaged. All these continuous units (in case provided at obligatory location) were constructed by cast-in-situ balanced cantilever construction technique.
The viaduct superstructure is supported on single cast-in-place RC pier. The shape of the pier follows the flow of forces. For the standard spans, the pier gradually widens at the top to support the bearing under the box webs. To prevent the direct collision of vehicle to pier, a Jersey Shaped crash barrier of 1m height above the existing road level was provided all around the pier. A gap of 25mm was also provided in between the crash barrier and outer face of the pier. The shape of the upper part of the pier was dimensioned so that a required clearance of 5.5m is always available on road side beyond vertical plane drawn on outer face of crash barrier. An outward slope of 1:200 was provided at pier top for the drainage due to spilling of rainwater. The orientation and dimensions of the piers for the continuous units or steel girder (simply supported span) have to be carefully selected to ensure minimum occupation at ground level traffic. Since the vertical and horizontal loads will vary from pier to pier, this was catered to by selecting the appropriate structural dimensions.[8]
Rolling stock[edit]
The metro's train coaches will have a width of around 3.2 metres (10 ft). Each train will have a maximum passenger capacity of around 1,500 passengers, with seating for about 200.[9]
