A Marketplace and its Market Mechanism for Trading Commoditized Computing Resources
AbstractThis paper presents the design and implementation of the GridEcon Marketplace. In addition to supporting a market mechanism for trading computing resources on a pay-per-use basis, this marketplace also provides an environment for integrating value-added support services. These value-added services help consumers to use the utility computing market more efficiently. The GridEcon Market Mechanism for virtual machines specifies in detail the unit-of-trade, the bids and asks, as well as the matching algorithm. The marketplace and market mechanism are validated by using the GridEcon Platform, which is a service-oriented platform for composing market scenarios. Our validation results show that the GridEcon Marketplace fulfills all functional requirements and that the GridEcon Market Mechanism is computationally and economically efficient.

NFL Network: Shiancoe Talks Favre, More
Damn firewall. Someone watch this and tell me what he says. If not, I will catch it at home.
In a nutshell he said Childress sucks and TJ should have never been handed the starting Qb job without a competent veteran to challenge him.:evil:Quote:

I hope the Vikes extend Shanc. We need his "character"/"Attitude" on the field.Quote:

Taking notes as I go:
Lack of fundamentals. "Good teams start from the bottom up." Got away from what we're good at.
Favre not really a distraction, but contributed to the totality of the distractions. Favre/training camp laid the foundation for the week to week - Favre, Moss, Chilly, the stadium etc.
Favre's a prankster.
Hard to not have a real homefield advantage, but thinks the league and organization did a good job of transitioning.
Thinks Frazier has a good feel for what the team thinks and feels. Thinks having a guy who's played before makes a big difference especially when camp rolls around.
If it was up to Shiancoe the Vikings would bring in someone to lead/tutor Webb.
Thanks my friend.Quote:

The last point is a good one. I really think thats what hurt TJ the most was that he really never (except for the first year with Brad) had a Qb that could run the scheme the way the Chiller wanted it run.
In 2009 the Noodle fixed that. With respect to Webb, I just don't see anybody out there that can be that guy. Hopefully Joe watched the Noodle and the staff can use the tape they have from the 2009 season as a primary learning aid.
I know this is going to be hard to get your head around but sometimes in a fluid league with finite time and resources it becomes helpful to run the scheme in a way that compliments your QB's abilities rather than forcing them to conform to some wet dream you came up with in the 3rd stall of the locker room.Quote:

You sure have been a bit insulting lately with your replies. No worries, I will over look it, again.Quote:

Anyway, the bigger question then begs, why do you have a QB on your roster who's abilities don't fit the scheme?
Absolutely makes no sense that the staff would go out and bring a guy in who didn't fit the scheme. That would mean that (say you have 25 players on offense and the other 24 do fit the scheme) 24 players would have to change to accomodate 1.
Yup, your right, thats pretty hard for me to get my head around. Probably cause it makes no sense.

Rich Cribs: 'Top-tier Manhattan apartment' design on Northport Bay waterfront
A 2005 Colonial in the Village of Asharoken is on the market for $5.5 million. It not only offers 150 feet of waterfront on Northport Bay but also has a design similar to a "top-tier Manhattan apartment," said Risa Ziegler, listing agent with Jyll Kata of Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
This three-story, 7,000-square-foot home has an open layout on the first level with the living room, dining room and coffered-ceiling kitchen with butler's pantry all looking out to the bay. Most of the floors have radiant heating. A library, gym area, recreation room and more water views are found on the third floor.
"The woodworking is breathtaking," Kata said, "with magnificent built-ins." There are five bedrooms, five bathrooms and one half-bathroom.

When I think of Ribs' play lately I can't help but think of Perrault last season: he scored a whack before Christmas and then slowly started disappearing until he was invisible by the end of the season. Im not saying the same thing is going to happen with Ribeiro, but we do have to wait until the seasons over before making any judgments.
As for your questions, Mike8:
-Whether he could handle the Philly centers down low, or if he was run over.
I thought he held his own. He always kept himself on the defensive side of the puck and planted himself fairly decently. He certainly didnt overpower guys but thats to be expected. As long as he keeps himself in a strong position, hes fine. (Although he did have a glaring turnover right in front of the net. He owes Theo for that one.)
-How he did in the transition game; both offensively and defensively
There wasnt a whole lot of offensive transition by any of the Habs tonight. As soon as we got up by that goal, we pretty much just chipped it out of the zone all night. So in that regard he did fine as he banked a few off the glass instead of trying to force a pass. Defensively, everyone was coming back hard, Ribs included.
-Was he kept to the perimeter in the offensive zone?
I dont think Ribs being on the perimeter is a bad thing, as long as he can find himself room there, which he did tonight. Zed was going to the net hard tonight so he didnt really need to. He was right in front of the net to feed Zeds first goal though.
Overall he had a strong game and showed that he can play at this level. The question is, can he play like that night after night. Hes the type of player that if his effort level drops, hes going to be invisible. If he can keep raising the level of his game for the next two months, hell be great. If he decides his game is where it needs to be, and stops trying to improve it, he wont cut it.
It'll be interesting seeing how he progresses.
(Sorry for the long post but I take lots of flak for cutting Ribs down. I just want to show I dont hate him I just dont want to judge a guy on 50 games.)
edit: had a double paragraph.

Statistical measures of the trend rate of inflation
AbstractAs a guide for the conduct of monetary policy, most central banks make use of a trend inflation index similar to that employed by the Bank of Canada: the CPI excluding food, energy, and the effect of indirect taxes. In addition to their basic reference index, some central banks regularly publish statistical measures of the trend rate of inflation. The method used for producing these measures is, for the most part, based on the hypothesis that extreme price fluctuations generally reflect temporary shocks to the inflation rate, rather than its underlying trend. In this paper, the author offers a broad survey of studies on the measurement of trend inflation that have been published by the Bank of Canada and presents the results of the most recent work on the subject. Particular attention is paid to two statistical measures that the Bank follows more closely than other measures; namely, the CPIX, a price index that excludes eight of the most volatile CPI components, and CPIW, a measure that retains all the components of the overall index but gives a lower weighting to the most volatile.

"... What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes."
- James 4:14
Today would have been my sister's 47th birthday. It is hard to believe that she's been gone for so long. I miss her and at the same time I am so thankful to God that I had such a wonderful sister for the short time that she was here. She was a giver, giver of herself to others. She was absolutely beautiful! She had this personality that I can't describe folks were just attracted to her. Everyone wanted to be her friend. She should have been full of confidence and high-esteem but she wasn't. Lately I've been lost in thought about her, her life, and our lives together growing up. I am so thankful, blessed, and honored that God choose me to be her sister. She is deeply missed in my heart.
Time is precious hold on to your family. God placed you there for a reason.

Babies are so precious. The smells, the giggles, cooing and the cries all so precious.
I know a few new moms and moms-to-be and I am overjoyed with the many blessings coming their way with a little one in the house. I've been wanting to do something special and unique for them so I went to my local fabric store and purchased a pretty flannel fat quarters pack, fired up the sewing machine and made Burp Cloths.
There are several tutorials online. I used a simple technique of cutting the fat quarter in half matching two different patterns, sew them together and them sew around them using the decorative stitches on my machine.
Viola! Six pretty burp cloths that were given to my cousin who is having a beautiful baby girl. I think that I like the scrolly stitch on the 5th burp cloth the best. I've got a few more baby gifts to make for friends and family members. Must be something in the water (going now to grab a cup of coffee - HA!)

A little note of encouragement for those who need it today…. Have faith, better still have The God kind of faith. This faith believes, speaks, and acts. You must first KNOW God's words.
This is how you get God's word into you mind and your heart. Now believe God's word. Believe what God says in His word about you, your situation, your family, your circumstance. Believe that God loves you, it is in His Word. Believe that God has forgiven you when you've repented, that's in His Word as well, believe that God has only GOOD in store for you.
Believe God's Word. Trust God. This is how your faith grows, now speak God's word over your life, your family, your situation and your circumstance. Speak God's word to your problems, obstacles, hindrances, sickness, disease, lack, debt, poverty. Besides just speaking you also have to put some action/work behind those words. Act what you know about the truth of God's word to these situations and rejoice. Nothing is impossible when you believe. God has given you The measure of faith. Use it, grow it, and take the limits off of your life.

Been a little quiet on this blog lately, though today I thought that I'd share some random thoughts/happenings...
Freddie's been sick lately, got a doctor's appointment this afternoon
I hate autism
Watching my little guy have a seizure scares me EVERY SINGLE TIME
I'm enjoying the warmer weather.
Flower garden in the front of the house is finished and looks fabulous.
Vegetable plants are ready to go in...
Still deciding on a fence for the veggies
Finn (our service dog) likes to swing from our tree (he's funny)
Started exercising at home, not a habit yet, but it will be
With two animals shedding our vaccum cleaner is getting a workout
I pray that all of those girls are found safely and reunited with their families
Still knitting that chevron scarf
Want to paint our downstairs bathroom (not sure what color)
Wondering if anyone ever reads these posts
I made soap recently and I love how it turned out (may never buy soap again)
Found a new pie recipe that my family enjoys
Had to cancel our summer vacation to Smokey Mountains
I love watching my little guy sleep
Looking for a new "fun" book to read
Debating about entering a craft show this summer
What's new with you?

My son was the FOX news (local station) last night. Take a look.
Brookfield Zoo had an Autism Awareness Day yesterday that we attended. Freddie just loves being at the zoo. The weather was perfect, here are some pictures of our fun-filled day.
As soon as we arrive we head to Freddie's favorite place in the zoo, The Living Coast, as you can see he's just getting ready to make a run for it
I think that he would stay here the whole day if we let him. This is the only picture that came out clear. Couldn't use my flash in this exhibit (need to read up on the settings for next time).
On to the next stop.
Here we are at The Swamp, watching the ducks and the sea otters is another stop we have to make during every visit.
Our last stop of the day was at the Hamill Family Play Zoo, this is where we met a reporter from Fox News who interviewed us and we also met Pat Quinn our Governor. It was an exciting day.
Have a great day everyone! Enjoy your Sunday.

Our Spring Break did not go according to my plans. I planned a fun-filled week for us, signed my son up for a spring break camp in the morning, afternoons he'd still have therapy but I included lots of fun early evening activities such as the Children's Museum, playdates, the mall, and lots to time outside with Finn. The Sunday before our spring break began my little guy woke up vomiting with a high temperature. Since he is seizure prone we kept him home from church and spent the day trying to get his temperature down. I was unsuccessful, we ended up canceling all of our fun spring break plans and spending the last two weeks mostly in the bed sleeping, talking to his doctors, and making a mad dash to the emergency room. While my son spent most of his time healing I spent a lot of knitting and reading.
This is my Favorite Scarf Ever, the knitting pattern can be found here.
A few weekends ago my husband and I went to an Autism Conference I learned a lot about different treatments that have peaked my interest that I'm currently researching and during our lunch break a women spoke to us about Autism and the environmental causes. She referenced this book below:
She was so interesting that I immediately went on amazon.com and ordered this book. I can't begin to tell you just how interesting this book is, I'm still in the middle of it so I'll let you know my thoughts once I finish.
I also ordered this book on the advice of several autism moms I see during one of my son's therapy appointments. She spoke very highly of this book and is planning on exploring homeopathy in addition to her son's therapy. The book is a bit pricey but I have heard many good things about homeopathy and I am curious to know if this would help our son.
With this heavy reading I need some light entertaining fun reading so I've downloading this book on my kindle.
I love these little mystery short stories. Very entertaining, the stories are short and it is a great break from autism reading.
The weather is getting warmer in the midwest and my favorite time of the year has arrived, time to start thinking about gardening. Yippee!
Have a great day everyone!

My handsome little guy turned 4 last Wednesday, he woke up super early to open up a few of his gifts, and he giggled like crazy when I sang Happy Birthday. His big birthday gift was his service dog (Finn), I wrote about him in a previous post. Our parents came over this weekend to celebrate with gifts galore this Larry hat seems to be his favorite so far. He looked so stinking cute wearing his new hat all day.
He was more interested in the Buzz Lightyear birthday candle than this caramel cake (more for me).
Today though my little has an upset stomach he's been up since 4am throwing up. The first day of our spring break will be spent snuggling in bed having a Toy Story/VeggieTales marathon sipping on fluids and hopefully catching up on sleep. Gotta kick this tummy bug quickly, I've got some fun plans for our spring break.
So thankful for this precious little guy.
Have a happy Monday!

This week we added a new member to the Greenwood household. A service dog, named Finn. His job is to help/aide our precious little guy (our son has a diagnosis of autism and seizure disorder). Last year while at a Special Needs Expo there was an organization with service dogs, during her demonstration she talked about how these dogs can be used to keep our kids safe, she gave us the example of a child who wanders, is nonverbal with epilepsy. At the time I thought that her presentation was interesting and I filed the information in my head just in case... Little did I know that just in case would be our story, my son likes to run, more specifically he bolts from me in public without warning. We can be in a store and he's holding my hand tightly and within an instant it seems he's snatching his hand out of my grip and running as fast as he can. I'm pretty fast and I have been able to catch him in a few steps but in the past few months he's been getting faster and it's been harder for me to catch him. He also wanders and he can open doors by himself. I've caught him going into the garage, trying to open the front door and he has run out of the therapist office into the parking lot on more than one occasion, he doesn't always respond to his name or listens when I tell him to stop. For the last 4 months our therapists and I have been working on the phrase, "walk with me" to try to curb this behavior and we've seen little success so far, so I began to research service dogs and found a wonderful foundation close to home that trains service dogs, this is how we met Finn. He currently weighs 83 pounds (still growing) and he's solid. When Freddie is tethered to Finn he can't bolt, run away or wander. This alone is a huge relief, Finn is still in the training program so we have training school to attend, but I can see the possibilities, seizure alert, calming, sleeping, socialization, and safety.
I never considered myself to be a dog person, I've always preferred cats, but this little doggie is changing my mind.

Collect Dresser By Wis Design
By Wis Design for Schönbuch. You'll find a place for most everything in this patchwork chest. Just don't forget what you put in which drawer.
By Wis Design for Schönbuch. You'll find a place for most everything in this patchwork chest. Just don't forget what you put in which drawer.
A pair of cabinets, constructed of plastic, wood and aluminum, unveiled in 1970 by Raymond Loewy. Each has a manufacturer's label inside one drawer. They were created in France, for Compagnia d'Esthetique Industrielle.
Your unique organizational tendencies need not be bound by staid filing cabinets or standard drawers; WIS Design's Collect chest allows for knick-knacks of all shapes and sizes to be stored within its wood compartments. The series comes in a taller version, too, or with the fronts finished in various shades of paint.
This sleek cabinet has a convenient full-extension storage drawer and coordinates with Purist lavatories. Mounted on the wall, it frees up bathroom space—something that can come in very handy if you need a place to stash an arsenal of products in a hurry.
Collect 2012 is a distinct little cabinet for your favourite things designed by Sara Larsson. It is far away from any anonymous storage system and is characterised by its beautiful doors in leather. Collect 2012 is a limited edition of 81 cabinets. The cabinet has a fish scale patterned front made in Tärnsjö leather and comes with a signed and numbered metal plate.
Welsh's understated, livable Graft collection includes this storage-stocked credenza in gray laminate with a solid oak frame.
Yes, this walnut room divider will provide a place to stow books, records, and three drawers for littler tchotchkes, and it would definitely work in the middle of a room to break up the space, or in a hallway corridor, or an office. But what makes it truly unique is the handcrafted detailing; Lean in and take a closer look at the all-wood joinery, and you'll see why this console—made in Seattle from salvaged logs sourced in Oregon—is something truly special.
Ribbons of blackened stainless steel outline wood cabinetry and lacquered white sheet metal.
Under-sink clearance offers greater flexibility for wheelchair users and can also accommodate step stools for young children. Shown with Duravit's Vero washbasin ($415–$690).
