Really friendly service. Room was well presented and clean. Breakfast was really nice. Parking can be a bit of an issue in Ambleside but they were very good at finding a spot for us.
This is a bed and breakfast just as you want them to be. Nice people and homely atmosphere at a reasonable price in an old building. Quiet, but only a few minutes from the town centre.
I did not like sharing a bathroom, the bath itself was clean, but having to wait for half an hour in the morning when I really needed to go to the toilet was not enjoyable. But, it`s probably in the room description
Price and location, owners very helpful with local knowledge.
all was great
parking a little tricky
Friendly staff Clean and comfortable room Good breakfast Close to village centre
Restricted parking
Good Breakfast for walkers, lovely and clean, comfortable beds, plenty of hot water.
TV in the bedroom was very small
Obliging proprietress and good hearty breakfast.
Sharing bathroom and small rooms. Parking issues
terrible staff no parking in the whole village no restaurant or shops in acceptable walking distance tiny room
Fiona ( owner ) made me feel welcome from the moment I stepped inside! Comfortable single room with cheerful view. Breakfast was very appetising, fresh fruit and a hearty cooked Cumbrian breakfast! As a walker, the accommodation was well placed for easy access to fells and mountains.i definitely will return ! :-)
My family and I stayed at the chapel house for my grandmothers 80th birthday. We had a lovely stay. It is less then a minute walk into the centre of Ambleside which was ideal. The lady who owns the b&b was very accommodating and was extremely helpful. She went out of her way to find somewhere to store our bikes. The breakfast was delicious and I would recommend the chapel house to everyone

Slightly early checkout for me...but I'm sure there is a very good reason!

The friendliness, cleanliness, excellent breakfast. Was made to feel extremely welcome, despite having to leave very smelly running shoes in the porch!!!!!!
The mattress was past its best, BUT when mentioned to the owner she said that they would replace it. THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT

Hutchison Whampoa's Juggling Act Continues To Create Value
PRO • Stephen Simpson, CFA • Wed, Jun. 18 • 2 Comments
- Hutchison Whampoa owns a highly diverse mix of assets and businesses that operate around the world.
- The best growth opportunities appear to be in European wireless consolidation and Chinese property development and HWL has the capital to support both simultaneously.
- Discounted cash flow and sum-of-the-parts NAV suggests a fair value between $30 and $33.25, enough undervaluation to make these shares worth a close look.

Pelosi on $3.4 trillion budget: "A statement of our national values"
Our new "national values:" Reckless spending, massive government expansion, and the continued saddling of future generations with untold debt.
Plundering is patriotic!
The House of Representatives passed a $3.44 trillion budget resolution for fiscal year 2010 Wednesday, approving most of President Obama's key spending priorities and setting the federal government in a new direction with major increases for energy, education and health care programs.
The House on Wednesday approved a budget resolution measure by a vote of 233 to 193.
The House on Wednesday approved a budget resolution measure by a vote of 233 to 193.
The resolution, which was approved by a vote of 233 to 193, passed in a virtual party-line vote. All but 17 House Democrats supported it, and no House Republicans voted in favor…
… "Today, for the first time in many, many years, we have a president's budget … that is a statement of our national values," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California, said during the final debate on the House floor.
"What is important to us as a nation is reflected in this budget. It's a very happy day for our country."

A summer vacation? Definitely. A workout vacation? It may sound weird, but taking a week off from your fitness routine could actually be worthwhile. If you're a fitness junky and it doesn't sound like much fun, a workout vacation is an even better idea.
If you've been hitting the gym hard, completing grueling workouts, your body can actually benefit from a little time off. I'm not talking about the day you took off last week, or the several days you took off when you had that awful cold back in March. A week off after 3 months or 6 months when you're on top of your game can give your body some much needed R & R. Experts say you'll return stronger, more energetic and reduce your risk of injury. Right now, I'm on day 8 of a forced break as I'm recovering from surgery that I had to repair a hip labral tear last week (the same injury A-Rod had earlier this year ). Maybe a little break months ago would've done some good?
So go on, take a workout vacation and enjoy the time off! That said, when you go on your fitness break, don't breakaway from your diet at the same time–you might not feel the benefits if you return after indulging in a bunch of ice cream cones and umbrella adorned drinks!

With Hat In Hand …
Pretty sad when you have the Secretary of State soliciting funds for debt instruments:
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has urged China to keep buying US debt as she wrapped up her first overseas trip, during which she agreed to work closely with Beijing on the financial crisis.
Ms Clinton made the plea shortly before leaving China, the final stop on a four-nation Asian tour that also took her to Japan, Indonesia and South Korea, where she worked the crowds to try to restore America's standing abroad.
In Beijing, she called on authorities in Beijing to continue buying US Treasury bonds, saying it would help jumpstart the flagging US economy and stimulate imports of Chinese goods.
"By continuing to support American Treasury instruments the Chinese are recognising our interconnection. We are truly going to rise or fall together," Ms Clinton said at the US embassy here.
Of course, its absolutely necessary that China (and the rest of the world) continue to buy these bonds and fund this spending debacle or taxes will have to be raised dramatically (and not just on the 'rich') and/or more money will have to be printed. That's not to say that both of those won't be done anyway whether China continues to buy or not. My guess is it's only a matter of time. Don't forget, health care reform legislation and environmental legislation are yet to come. Both may end up taking even more out of the private side of the economy than the so-called "stimulus" did.
Obama meets with Harper on "Buy American"
President Barack Obama made a trip to Canada this week to settle fears over the "Buy American" provision in the so-called "stimulus" package:
President Barack Obama on Thursday moved to reassure business and trade partners that the "buy American" provision of the economic stimulus package will not further harm the economy.
Critics of the measure, including foreign trade partners, business groups and even some U.S. industries that use steel and other products, have called "buy American" protectionist and complained it will drive up the cost of business.
Obama, who met with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper for several hours in Ottawa, said he told his counterpart the United States would abide by existing trade pacts.
"I want to grow trade and not contract it," Obama said. "And I don't think that there was anything in the recovery package that is adverse to that goal."
The provision mandates that any construction or infrastructure project in the "stimulus" bill would be required to use American metals, like iron and steel, unless costs were to exceed 25%. This misguided provision has sparked fears of a trade war.
In 1845, Frédéric Bastiat wrote the Petition of the Candlemakers, satire that pointed out the follies of protectionism to French lawmakers:
You are on the right track. You reject abstract theories and little regard for abundance and low prices. You concern yourselves mainly with the fate of the producer. You wish to free him from foreign competition, that is, to reserve the domestic market for domestic industry.
We come to offer you a wonderful opportunity for your — what shall we call it? Your theory? No, nothing is more deceptive than theory. Your doctrine? Your system? Your principle? But you dislike doctrines, you have a horror of systems, as for principles, you deny that there are any in political economy; therefore we shall call it your practice — your practice without theory and without principle.
We are suffering from the ruinous competition of a rival who apparently works under conditions so far superior to our own for the production of light that he is flooding the domestic market with it at an incredibly low price; for the moment he appears, our sales cease, all the consumers turn to him, and a branch of French industry whose ramifications are innumerable is all at once reduced to complete stagnation. This rival, which is none other than the sun, is waging war on us so mercilessly we suspect he is being stirred up against us by perfidious Albion (excellent diplomacy nowadays!), particularly because he has for that haughty island a respect that he does not show for us.
We ask you to be so good as to pass a law requiring the closing of all windows, dormers, skylights, inside and outside shutters, curtains, casements, bull's-eyes, deadlights, and blinds — in short, all openings, holes, chinks, and fissures through which the light of the sun is wont to enter houses, to the detriment of the fair industries with which, we are proud to say, we have endowed the country, a country that cannot, without betraying ingratitude, abandon us today to so unequal a combat.
Competition spurs improvements and lower prices. Protectionism is what brought us the Smoot-Hawley tariff in 1930, an interventionist economic policy that exacerbated economic problems which eventually led to the Great Depression.
Policies like "Buy American" will only cause retaliation in other parts of the world. We cannot afford that in the middle of a recession.
Obama seeks tax increases to
fund welfare state cut deficit
With Wall Street already showing absolutely no confidence in Barack Obama and Tim Geithner, the president is announcing tax increases in an attempt to cut the budget deficit by half in four years:
A summary of Obama's budget request for the fiscal year that begins in October will be delivered to Congress on Thursday, with the complete, multi-hundred-page document to follow in April. But Obama plans to unveil his goals for scaling back record deficits and rebuilding the nation's costly and inefficient health care system tomorrow, when he addresses lawmakers and budget experts at a White House summit on restoring "fiscal responsibility" to Washington.
Yesterday in his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama said he is determined to "get exploding deficits under control" and said his budget request is "sober in its assessments, honest in its accounting, and lays out in detail my strategy for investing in what we need, cutting what we don't, and restoring fiscal discipline."
Reducing the deficit, he said, is critical: "We can't generate sustained growth without getting our deficits under control."
To get there, Obama proposes to cut spending and raise taxes. The savings would come primarily from "winding down the war" in Iraq, a senior administration official said. The budget assumes continued spending on "overseas military contingency operations" throughout Obama's presidency, the official said, but that number is lower than the nearly $190 billion budgeted for Iraq and Afghanistan last year.
Obama also seeks to increase tax collections, mainly by making good on his promise to eliminate some of the temporary tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003. While the budget would keep the breaks that benefit middle-income families, it would eliminate them for wealthy taxpayers, defined as families earning more than $250,000 a year. Those tax breaks would be permitted to expire on schedule in 2011. That means the top tax rate would rise from 35 percent to 39.6 percent, the tax on capital gains would jump to 20 percent from 15 percent for wealthy filers and the tax on estates worth more than $3.5 million would be maintained at the current rate of 45 percent.
Obama also proposes "a fairly aggressive effort on tax enforcement" that would target corporate loopholes, the official said. And Obama's budget seeks to tax the earnings of hedge fund managers as normal income rather than at the lower 15 percent capital gains rate.
Overall, tax collections under the plan would rise from about 16 percent of the economy this year to 19 percent in 2013, while federal spending would drop from about 26 percent of the economy, another post-World War II high, to 22 percent.
Add this to the list of "Things Not To Do During A Recession." Soak the achievers and give absolutely meaningless tax cuts, $13 dollars a week, to the rest of us while the government continues to plunge us further into debt.
Enough with wealth envy and populism. Let's cut taxes for everyone, cut spending and kill the corporate income tax.
Signing On To The "Name And Shame" Policy
Gotta love this chutzpah:
Invoking his own name-and-shame policy, President Barack Obama warned the nation's mayors on Friday that he will "call them out" if they waste the money from his massive economic stimulus plan.
"The American people are watching," Obama told a gathering of mayors at the White House. "They need this plan to work. They expect to see the money that they've earned — they've worked so hard to earn — spent in its intended purposes without waste, without inefficiency, without fraud."
This from a guy who just signed into law the biggest waste, fraud and abuse bill ever concocted by our so-called representatives in Washington DC.
Rendell skeptical about "stimulus"
I'd like to take a moment to welcome Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell to the Keynesian Skeptics Society:
Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell (D) backed the $787 billion stimulus but said Saturday that he isn't sure whether it will actually fix the economy.
Rendell, at the National Governors Association meeting in Washington, said Saturday that all governors are committed to making sure that the stimulus is used for measures that can boost their states out of the recession. But he said that most governors will be watching to see what kind of effect it has on the economy.
Rendell said he's optimistic but that "80 percent are waiting to see if this works."
"It's a good first step, but the challenges in infrastructure are enormous and we hope that the administration and the Congress will work with us to meet those challenges," he said. "We've just scratched the surface of the infrastructure needs in this economy in the stimulus bill."
Asked whether another stimulus will be needed, Rendell said, "I think we should see how this works first."
It's not a good first step, it's really a step back. Keynesianism has been tried and failed.
The federal government has already committed $9.7 trillion to solving this crisis and more money spending is on the table. Where does it the end?
Wall Street cool to Obama's actions
"The principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale." – Thomas Jefferson
Here is a look at the Dow Jones since January 20th, when Barack Obama assumed the presidency. I'm not saying this is all his fault, but it's clear that his mortgage bailout plan and the "stimulus" package have been met with skepticism on Wall Street.
In fact, this is the worst January on record for a president in a century:
[F]rom Nov. 4, 2008 through Feb. 12, 2009, the DJI overall fell 18% — a larger drop than during the Sept-Oct plunge. In January, when the Obama plan, promising far greater deficits than the two much smaller "emergency stimulus" plans signed by Pres. George W. Bush in 2008, was unveiled, the market tanked – the worst January performance in 113 years.
More pointedly, key political victories for the Team Obama spending plan have not been viewed as buying opportunities on Wall Street. A string of negative market reactions began with the December 18 announcement of a stimulus bill of $700 billion (Dow down 2.5%), continued with the January 7 announcement that the actual plan would be "on the high side" (-2.7%) and continued with last week's 61-36 Senate vote supporting the Administration's fiscal plan. The White House victory and the new bank bail-out plan announced the following day by Treasury Secretary Geithner were met with a 5% wipe-out in the DJI, and a decline in Treasury bond yields, indicating a "flight to quality."
Markets don't react well to a president saying things like, "Potentially we've got trillion-dollar deficits for years to come." Investors realize that deficits matter:
If historic U.S. budget deficits are any indication, the economy is already "stimulated." The predicted 2009 federal deficit stood at 8.3% of GDP before Obama's package sent it to about 12%. This is a stunning level of debt, double the previous post WWII high when Reagan's 1983 budget deficit amounted to 6% of GDP.
We do, however, know the accounting trends: our government faces massive new spending increases as Baby Boomers retire and their Social Security and Medicare bills come due. Market investors are wary of new spending, guaranteeing either future tax increases or inflation, as a run-up to the demographically guaranteed spending spiral. The quest for "shovel-ready" projects makes one think, Where's Senator Ted Stevens when we need him? In any event, this fiscal bridge to nowhere is not spurring markets.
Government deficits are nonetheless being sold as doctor's orders, an elixir that – while it looks ugly and tastes bitter – will propel us back to economic health. Yet the best forecast currently on the table is the one made by investors risking their own money. They are shorting the "stimulus."
As the CBO has already predicted and common sense would indicate, whenever you take a dollar out of the economy through spending or borrowing, it is one less dollar that can be invested. Economists call it "crowding out" because it lessen the money available to the private sector for investing and borrowing, which can result in higher interest rates if the deficit is large enough or inflation if the Federal Reserve is printing money to offset economic problems, which they are today, as Steven Entin noted in a presentation on Keynesian economics at the Cato Institute.
Sounds like the 70's all over again.
Is this thing on…
I've been reading QandO for years and let me tell you, this is a privilege for me. As McQ has already mentioned, I've worked with the Libertarian Party of Georgia and Bob Barr's presidential campaign in addition to contributing to a couple other blogs and maintaining my own blog.
I look forward to contributing here and advancing the cause of liberty.
A New Voice
I'm going to let him do his own intro (kind of me, eh Jason?) but we're pleased to have Jason Pye joining QandO as one of our bloggers. Jason comes from great libertarian stock, was the former chair of the Georgia LP and was the New Media guy for the Barr campaign.
He's a freedom and liberty guy who has much in common with the rest of us.
Welcome aboard Jason.
Ah, Chu
Yup, nothing like the best qualified for the job:
Energy Secretary Steven Chu may be a Nobel laureate Ph.D. in physics, but his first forays into energy policy suggest he's a neophyte when it comes to the ways of Washington.
At a forum with reporters on Thursday, the head of the department that has traditionally taken the lead on global oil-market policy, was asked what message the Obama administration had for the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries at its meeting next month.
"I'm not the administration," the Cabinet secretary replied. "I will be speaking and learning more about this in order to figure out what the U.S. position should be and what the president's position is."
Chu, who is still without a deputy, said he feels "like I've been dumped into the deep end of the pool" on oil policy.
He may be a Nobel laureate, but it is obvious that he isn't at all prepared for the job of Energy Secretary. How, given his obvious lack of knowledge about oil, can he put a comprehensive energy plan together for the US? Well, he wasn't brought in to consider oil – he's going to be the "green guy". Oil, coal and other Neanderthal energy sources aren't really something he's concerned himself with. But now, he is the man.
Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, huh? Knowing all of that certainly reassures you that his priorities are going to be what is best for the US and not best for the agenda, doesn't it?
Bagram/Gitmo – What's The Difference Again?
Promises, promises:
Detainees being held at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan cannot use US courts to challenge their detention, the US says.
The Justice Department ruled that some 600 so-called enemy combatants at Bagram have no constitutional rights.
Most have been arrested in Afghanistan on suspicion of waging a terrorist war against the US.
The move has disappointed human rights lawyers who had hoped the Obama administration would take a different line to that of George W Bush.
Prof Barbara Olshansky, the lead counsel in a legal challenge on behalf of four Bagram detainees, told the BBC the justice department's decision not to reform the rules was both surprising and "enormously disappointing".
Uh, just for clarification, that's Eric Holder's Justice Department making the ruling. The Eric Holder who works for Barack Obama.
So the big one-two this week is the declared Obama human rights policy (the US won't let human rights get in the way of economics, the enviroment or security concerns) and detainees held by the US in Bagram (but not Gitmo).
Heh … old boss/new boss. At least Glenn Greenwald will have something to write about for a while, won't he?
Wow, this governing is much harder than just flapping your gums about stuff, isn't it?
"Just words …"

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

Indiegogo, instead
I hate to do that but at the current situation we cannot make use of Kickstarter and have to use Indiegogo instead. Details are written below.
I don't say that Indiegogo is bad and I see certain advantages such as PayPal payments. But I have the feeling that Kickstarter has a major userbase. Hopefully we can attract enough people to pledge on our campaign.
Our studio is located in Germany and at this point it is not possible to start a Kickstarter campaign from here. We would have done it on behalf of one of our freelancers but the new guidelines of Kickstarter where unpleasant to him and we have to accept that.
Because this happens two weeks before we want to launch we see no other alternative to use Indiegogo.

Right now the African continent is facing a whole slew of issues ranging from disease to war to food shortages. It's safe to say that the continent as a whole is going through a challenging time. But there is another big threat wreaking havoc in Africa that has only recently begun to garner attention and support: widespread power shortages.
Consider the fact that six of the world's 10 fastest-growing economies are currently based out of Africa, yet close to 600 million people in sub-Saharan Africa are currently without power. And out of the 20 countries in the world facing large power deficits, 12 are in this region.
In early August, a three-day U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit was held to generate more awareness about the power-related issues facing the area. The summit identified the crux of the power problem in Africa: The region is rich in resources, yet there is a major electricity shortage. The majority of the continent faces regular blackouts and brownouts, and most homes and businesses lack the emergency power sources necessary to combat this downtime.
Fortunately, many world organizations are gearing up to help Africa generate more power. During the recent summit, leaders pledged to triple the original 10 GW of clean energy that President Obama pledged last year in his Power Africa initiative. And Obama also pledged an additional $300 million to fund his Power Africa goals. The World Bank also committed $5 billion to fund several projects in Ethiopia, Kenya, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria and Tanzania. Other large contributors are the African Development Bank, which pledged $3 billion, the International Energy Agency, and the government of Sweden.
Being Africa's premier trade partner, China remains the largest contributor of infrastructure, resources and aid for the continent. In addition to funding from outside sources, businesses in African countries would benefit from better insight into their power usage such as is provided by power distribution and monitoring tools. These low-cost solutions empower businesses with the ability to look deep into their networks to find better ways of extending small power supplies throughout the organization. With the right suite of power monitoring tools, businesses can better control their power consumption and work together to prevent blackouts and brownouts. This would directly impact economic growth and development.
Does the thought of having to make your data center "greener" make you want to run and hide due to the effort and costs involved? If so, here's the good news: It's easier and more affordable than ever to make your data center environmentally friendly thanks to recent advents in data center power monitoring solutions.
One of the best solutions on the market right now is a smart power distribution unit (PDU). A smart PDU is a network device that contains multiple outputs for distributing power to racks and servers throughout a data center. But unlike basic PDUs, or "power strips" as they are commonly known, smart PDUs come with the ability to transmit data center power metrics directly to mobile devices throughout the enterprise. They are easy and affordable additions to your data center that require little CAPEX or OPEX.
Here are two great benefits of using Server Technology's smart PDUs in your data center:
Reduced energy consumption: Investing in a smart PDU will give your data center the ability to identify specific devices that are sucking up energy. For instance, you might have several idle servers that are draining power even though they are not being used. Smart PDUs will provide real-time and advanced reports so you can make sure every kilowatt of energy is being put to proper use in your facility.
Monitoring of your data center environment: Smart PDUs come with the ability to report on critical temperature and humidity data. So, if an air conditioning unit or cooling fixture breaks, you can be alerted about temperature spikes before equipment overheats and fails—or a fire breaks out in your cabinet. Smart PDUs will also allow you to experiment with different cooling temperatures, which could allow you to rely less on cooling systems.

During the past several months, the U.S. power sector has been in a state of flux as several important changes have arisen that will directly impact the way you do business. Here are three of the most notable updates:
Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS): Back in April, the MATS ruling came under fire from industry leaders, state government officials and environmental lobby groups who were concerned that the decision to impose standards on the coal power industry would drive up electricity prices and thus damage the industry. However, the ruling was upheld, meaning that plants that use coal still have just until April 15, 2015, to meet specific emission limits for particulate matter, mercury and acid gasses.
Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG): The EPA in June proposed President Obama's Clean Power Plan to Congress, which proposes state-specific goals and rates for emissions reduction. The Clean Power Plan is seeking to reduce CO2 emissions from the power sector by 30 percent of its 2005 levels through 2030.
On June 23, the U.S. Supreme Court also granted the EPA the ability to regulate GHGs through the Clean Air Act's Prevention of Deterioration permit program. Now, the EPA can ask permit-requiring sources to use GHG Best Available Control Technology (BACT).
Cooling water rule: On August 15, the EPA finalized rule 316(b) of the Clean Water Act, which requires facilities that consume more than 2 million gallons per day of U.S. water and use 25 percent of the water they withdraw employ low-cost compliance options and take action to reduce fish entrainment and impingement.
Data center managers across the U.S. are facing a difficult challenge: IT budgets are shrinking, yet the demand for fast and efficient data processing is increasing.
Faced with limited resources, many IT managers are now trying to save valuable floor space and increase hardware efficiencies by increasing rack density as much as possible. This means that more power is being distributed to individual racks. About 10 years ago, for instance, the average U.S. data center rack used about 1 kW to 2 kW of power. Now, that rate is hovering between 4 kW and 5 kW per rack. And in some data-intensive operations that use heavy amounts of big data and employ new technologies like blade servers and virtualization, this number can skyrocket to anywhere between 10 kW and 20 kW of power.
While the practice of increasing rack density saves money by reducing the total amount of servers in use at once, it can also lead to problems if not closely monitored. First and foremost, denser racks require more cooling. Low-density operations have more airflow at their disposal, since equipment is often spread out. But stacking servers on top of one another in a dense environment generates large amounts of heat, which can drive up the cost of cooling considerably.
The demand for more rack power is also causing many data center managers to switch to three-phase power distribution. And while this provides greater wattage, it also comes with the need to balance individual phases to prevent overloading. Overloading servers can lead to expensive outages, damaged servers and wasted electricity.
Chances are, your business is looking to save money and increase efficiency in its data center. But if you want to avoid the aforementioned risks when incorporating new technology, look into an alternating three-phase power distribution and monitoring solution to do it safely and effectively.
It's been busy here at Server Technology over the past several months, as we recently unveiled our new alternating-phase data center power distribution unit as well as the Fast Movers service for distributing popular products more quickly. And now, fresh off of our recent assignment to power the SDN Lab at Interop New York, we are looking to carry our momentum forward into autumn with a busy lineup of planned events.
Here is a look at where you can find us during the next few months:
Datacenter Dynamics (DCD): We will be attending several exciting DCD conferences this fall. Server Technology will be represented in Amsterdam (Oct. 15), Toronto (Nov. 6) and London (Nov. 19-20). We also plan on attending the March 11 DCD conference in New York. As the world's premier peer-led data center conference series, DCD will provide direct access to global business leaders and international data center experts.
7 x 24 Exchange: On Oct. 26, we will be headed to the 7 x 24 Exchange in Phoenix, the go-to conference for mission-critical data centers that cannot afford any downtime. We are very excited to showcase how our data center power distribution and monitoring technology can help ensure constant power to the rack, preventing costly outages.
Data Center World: At the same time as the 7 x 24 Exchange, we will be in Frankfurt, Germany, for the highly anticipated Data Centre World conference. This show will help us explore the exciting German data center market, where overall capacity is expected to grow in by 30,000 square meters over the next year.
Data Center World and Cloud Expo Asia: The world tour continues after Germany, as Server Technology will head east to Singapore for Data Center World and Cloud Expo Asia, October 29 to 30.
We hope to see you at these exciting events!
Rising fuel prices and tensions in the Middle East are causing business leaders everywhere to search for alternative fuel options. Just look at the recent decision by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund to divest its oil interests and make the switch to clean energy. It's clear that the world is moving in a different direction from fossil fuels, and this includes data centers.
You might be exploring solar or wind energy as viable options for powering your data center. These options are becoming more affordable and easy to access than ever before, especially in states that support energy deregulation. So, if you have the option to choose your power provider, you should definitely be exploring these enticing, low-cost fuel alternatives. This is especially true when considering just how much power your data center uses annually. Making a switch to a clean energy source could have a dramatic impact on your local community and the environment as a whole. And it could have a big impact on your bottom line, too, as alternative energy is less expensive.
To reap the benefits of an alternative energy solution, you still need to monitor exactly how much energy your data center is using. So if you're considering going green, make sure to invest in a reliable data center power monitoring and management solution that will provide you with real-time information about your available power levels. This will help you better control power as it streams into your facility. And it will give you the peace of mind to explore green options knowing you have total visibility into the most critical component of your data center: its power supply.
Right now, the data center industry is focused on increasing energy efficiency and reducing waste. These are very important goals, as we're reaching a critical point where energy prices are rising, environmental concerns are multiplying and government pressure for responsible power usage is increasing.
So chances are your data center is looking for ways of joining the environmental movement and going green. But here's the reality: Unless you have a viable method of charting your progress and actively benchmarking your energy reduction goals, there will be no way of truly charting your consumption and proving that your business is in compliance with state or federal mandates. Your data center needs hard evidence to show that it is doing its part to become a greener operation.
A data center is a complex entity filled with many different components. And the only way to properly account for every amp of energy you use is with a reliable data center power management system.
A data center power management system from Server Technology will give you the ability to manage all of your power distribution units from a single dashboard. You will receive metrics about your power consumption in real time, and you will also receive access to reports that will give you an in-depth look at previous daily, weekly, monthly or yearly usage. Using this software, your IT technicians can analyze the information and make necessary changes to improve its energy consumption—and prevent making unnecessary decisions or purchases, too.

Data center technicians across a swath of verticals are increasingly focused on expanding cabinet density. This need for expansion is being driven largely by the need to reduce capital and operational expenditures, improve energy efficiency and reduce latency.
But as outlined in a recent Server Technology white paper titled "Density in the Data Center," increasing cabinet density does not come without its share of challenges. Here are a few:
Phase balancing: Heavier server workloads can lead to dramatic fluctuations in server power demand, which can make load balancing very hard to manage. This can lead to energy inefficiency and higher electric bills.
Complexity: Whether you are using a SAN or a NAS for virtual storage, or if you are engaging in SDN, your supporting systems need to be constantly monitored to ensure adequate performance. You don't want to guess when it comes to the performance of your network infrastructure.
Power consumption: In order to support a higher-density operation, higher voltages and currents are needed, such as 208V three-phase alternating 60A circuits. Due to the fact that power comes at a premium price these days, your consumption needs to be monitored.
There is also less room for server error in a high-density environment. For example, a problem like thermal runaway can lead to a rapid increase in temperature which can destroy sensitive equipment. Other issues include configuration management, idle and unused servers, and heavy capital expenditure. The good news is that these challenges, though numerous, are not insurmountable. Using Server Technology's high-density outlet technology (HDOT), which provides safe and reliable power distribution as well as a variety of smart and metered power and environmental monitoring capabilities, you can confidently condense your hardware and run a more powerful operation.
Click here to take a deep dive into the Server Technology white paper and learn more about how HDOT can help you migrate to a denser data center.
Your business is no longer looking for more floor space in its data center. Now, cabinet space is becoming your biggest need as you increase your rack densities and add more servers.
If you are engaged in this practice, you will likely save valuable space and money. But you could also run into the following problems:
• Cable load: Adding more servers to your racks will mean adding more cables. These cables can become tangled and damaged if not properly managed. It could also lead to a lack of airflow due to their bulky nature. Keep in mind that servers will get very hot, and airflow is critical for maintaining a safe temperature.
• Network capacity: Adding more servers and engaging in virtualization will tax your network capacity, which could sneak up on you and lead to major costs down the road if you are not careful. Always be mindful of the fact that with each server you add to your data center, you will get closer to reaching your power and data storage ceiling.
Fortunately, there is a solution: high-density outlet technology (HDOT) from Server Technology. This solution packs more outlets into a single power distribution unit and also cuts down on the excessive amount of plastic material that is typically used in most power outlets. It is completely customizable to fit the exact needs of your rack, and can even be stored conveniently on top of your racks. This means you can invest in shorter cables that are easier to store and less prone to blocking up airflow into your servers.
HDOT technology also comes with the ability to monitor your outlet usage in real time, so you can understand exactly how much power and network capacity you have remaining at your disposal. Click here for more information about how Server Technology can help you gain more rack space in a safe, efficient and affordable way.
How long could your data center continue operating following a major power shortage? It's not an easy question to answer, but doing so could be one of the most important things you accomplish in the process of protecting your facility and ensuring uptime in the event of a disaster. Unfortunately, many data centers do not have a comprehensive response to the challenges that would ensue from a major power outage.
Suppose, for instance, something were to happen to the U.S. power grid and your facility was left without electricity for several days. If unprepared, your business could experience irreversible data loss, as well as other critical problems like damaged equipment or facilities. But with the right technology in place, your business could stay up and running using backup power and spare fuel.
So, what can you do to protect your data center? First and foremost, you need to diversify your fuel delivery sources. Investing in more than one company for fuel delivery is essential, as a disaster could happen at any point along your supply chain. Something as simple as a route blockage or a shortage of supplies could leave your data center in a pinch. Best practices, therefore, call for partnering with several fuel delivery providers.
As important as it is to diversify your fuel delivery options and invest in a backup power supply, it's also important to understand exactly how your network is using energy in real time. This will be critical for transferring data to conserve power, and for understanding how much time you have left before your power reaches capacity.

(BROCK) A petition sent to Brock Township councillors accusing Story Book Farm Primate Sanctuary of animal cruelty is a tactic to discredit the operation by supporters of Darwin, better known as "the Ikea monkey," according to Mayor Terry Clayton.
The petition, with some 116 typed 'signatures,' was hand-delivered to council members' homes Wednesday (Jan. 2) evening and calls for municipal officials to launch a "full investigation" on the sanctuary's operation.
"I'm not even sure that this is a legal petition," Mayor Clayton said in an interview Friday.
"There are no signatures, only a list of typed names and the city they live in. In my mind, that's not a petition."
Darwin's owner, Toronto lawyer Yasmin Nakhuda, launched a lawsuit Dec. 14 in a bid to have the monkey, which is not a legal pet in the city, returned to her. The macaque used to eat, sleep and shower with her, she said, and she's concerned their bond could be weakening.
A judge ordered the monkey to stay at the sanctuary just days before Christmas. The case will be back in court later this month.
On Thursday afternoon, a posting on a Facebook page called Darling Darwin Monkey indicated that the petition had been delivered to the Township, the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA), and the Charities Directorate of the Canadian Revenue Agency, requesting "an investigation in several allegations of cruelty, hoarding, manipulation, lack of experience and abuse of their charitable status by the Sanctuary."
It's unclear if those involved with the Facebook group circulated the petition, though the posting does indicate that Ms Nakhuda and her family are supporting the effort.
The petition was e-mailed to the Brock Citizen on Friday morning, but did not include any contact information for the person that sent it.
Mayor Clayton said the man who delivered the petition wouldn't identify himself but was upfront about why it was being presented.
"They're trying to discredit (the sanctuary), and he said it was what they were trying to do," Mayor Clayton told the Toronto Star.
"Their allegations are far from accurate."
While the bulk of the names on the petition hail from the GTA, Mayor Clayton noted that more than two dozen Americans and several Manitoba residents have also signed in support.
"I doubt that any of these people have even been to the sanctuary before," he noted Friday.
"They just want that monkey back with its owner."
The sanctuary is currently in the process of obtaining a license under the Township's exotic animal bylaw, which was enacted in early 2012.
"This petition will have no bearing on the licensing process," Mayor Clayton said.
"If the sanctuary meets all requirements of the bylaw, we will be issuing a license."
Brad Dewar, spokesperson for the OSPCA, said that as of late Thursday afternoon, the petition had not been delivered to its office. The OSPCA can't begin an investigation without first interviewing a witness to the alleged misconduct, he said.
"Petitions are great for identifying concerns, but from an investigation standpoint, we need eyewitnesses to come forward to engage in an investigation," he said.
"Otherwise it's assumptions."
