One of my babies is is no longer a baby, and that passage of time hit me with the force of a mighty wind once Marlowe came along. I used to stare at Gray's tiny fingers and dream of what the future might hold for us. Now her hands are busy making expressive gestures to accompany her ever-growing dialogue, building castles out of blocks, and daintily sipping tea from porcelain cups. They caress my face when she is tired, tuck themselves into mine while crossing the street, hug me before bed each night, and wave goodbye as she happily trots off to daycare. Those hands are getting more and more independent as the days go by and it is, predictably, bittersweet. It also takes having a second pair of tiny fingers to admire to another level altogether. These new fingers prompt new dreams, while simultaneously kindling beautiful reveries of days gone by. I am, in short, feeling exceedingly sentimental.
Marlowe is, of course, a different baby with her own unique traits and characteristics. The exquisite eyes that look up at me are hers and hers alone, and the sleepy smile (that I imagine is still gas at this stage) is stunningly special and one-of-a-kind. Yet there are facial features and mannerisms that remind me of Gray so wholeheartedly, it has moved me to tears on several occasions…both for this enchanting new child before me, and for the child she so closely resembles. In a way, Marlowe has resurrected my memories of Gray's infancy. In a sense, I feel like I've been given a second chance to go back and appreciate Gray's first days, as I marvel over every coo and cuddle with Marlowe. It has reminded me of moments I'd already forgotten with my first daughter, and yet I'm experiencing them for the first time with my second daughter in that magically delicious way that only an untouched experience can offer. It's bewitching and wonderfully overwhelming… and I'm loving every moment of it.
Déjà vu "all over again…"
Until next time… Peace, Love, and Dirty Diapers,

I love your clever writing
really cute album
I'll admit any desire I had to pen this week's post severely waned once November 1st rolled around… In case you haven't been following along, that's when I gave birth to my sweet new baby girl, Marlowe! Needless to say, the notion of writing any sort of blog, book chapter, or even thank you note, suddenly took a back seat to staring at her gorgeous little face. Hell, at this point I'm even hard pressed to draw up a grocery list. Can you blame me? Who wants to ponder poultry or contemplate cantaloupe when they have this beauty to gaze upon?
So what's a mom to do in the aforementioned pickle? Well, I'm currently holding my sleeping baby in one arm, while typing with the other. After all, a multitasking mom's gotta do what a multitasking mom's gotta do! You can likely expect some brief posts in the near future, as I try to divide my time between a two-year old, a newborn, and a book deadline at the beginning of next year. In fact, I may switch to writing blogs every other week for a while, but we'll tackle that topic at some point down the road. I'm hoping the idea of an entire book worth of anecdotes and parenting adventures will buy me a little latitude where the lack of new blogs are concerned. I hope? Pretty please?
In the meantime, I thought I'd share my photo (actually, photos) of the month. I realize we are only two weeks into November, but it's already tough to imagine any other pictures replacing the poignancy of these… I couldn't choose just one.
The first cuddle I had with my two daughters: I didn't want any visitors on day one of my hospital stay, but the exception was Gray. My mom (who was taking care of her and holding down the fort while we were away, thank God!) brought her to us at the hospital. They spent the afternoon visiting, and we treasured every minute of it. We snuggled, held hands, talked about the significance and excitement of being a big sister, and celebrated welcoming more love into our family. It was one of the most memorable and stunning moments of my life. Love knows no bounds.
The first time Gray held her baby sister: I know I posted this last week, but it deserved to be posted again! I wouldn't trade my little sister for anything in the world, and something tells me Gray will feel the same. In fact, I suspect she already does. I have one honored and pleased big sister on my hands!
The first professional photo of my girls: Not all hospital photos turn out well, but this one is incredible. It captures Gray's personality and Marlowe's newborn innocence, while still managing to show the wonder and pride of a big sister loving on her new sibling. I'm in awe and blessed beyond belief.
Until next time… Peace, Love, and Dirty Diapers,

Please join me in welcoming our new little girl, Marlowe Monroe! I'm making this post a super quick one, as I'm still recovering and bonding with my sweet baby. Little Marlowe was born on November 1st, at 12:35 PM, and weighed in at 7 pounds, 4 ounces. She was 18.25 inches long, and she's pure enchantment! Gray is beyond excited to have a new baby sister… I'll let the photos speak for themselves!

Congratulations on the newest addition to your sweet little family! I cannot wait to see more pictures of Gray and Marlowe together as they grow. All the best!
I know this is a little late, but I just watched your update on OWN and learned about your blog. It's exciting to visit the site today and see your wonderful news! Congratulations!
In honor of Halloween and the birth of our next daughter, my husband and I have devoted much of our October to combining a lot of quality family time with fall-related outings. And since our new little one can really make her grand entrance at any time she pleases, we thought we ought to get our annual pumpkin picking out of the way before we found ourselves hospital-bound!
Gray has been eagerly awaiting her baby sister, but I suspect she still has no concept of what she's really in for. As a new sibling can prompt feelings of separation anxiety and confusion over divided attention, we are doing our best to offer her some special one-on-one time over these next few weeks. Choosing her own pumpkin was first on Gray's list of requests, and we were happy to oblige.
As you may recall from last year's blog posts, our local farmer's market is a favorite stop on the weekend agenda. This is especially true during the autumn season, when vendors come out in droves. Suffice it to say we went home with far more produce than merely a Jack-O'-Lantern or two! But it isn't a colorful display of gourds that put these photos on my radar… it's that smile on my kid's face. (Because how can you not grin wildly when you're amped up on Kettle corn and a pumpkin scouting high?) Fun was had by all, I can promise you that.
As an accompanying side story, I thought I'd include two cute comedic anecdotes from our trip. The number of funny quips coming out of Gray's mouth seems to be growing exponentially these days, so I hope you get a little giggle out of them like we did…
Makeup Mischief
As we were preparing to leave for the farmer's market, Gray followed me into the bathroom, where I intended to wash my face and commence my morning makeup routine.
Gray: "Mommy, are you putting makeup on?"
Me: "Yes, I am"
Gray: "So you don't hurt peoples?"
Um… REALLY??!!
Geriatric Gourds
While making her pumpkin selections, which she was quite particular about, Gray spotted some bizarre looking things that piqued her curiosity. There was the squash that looked like a green Python, all-white pumpkins whose validity she questioned, and an abundance of mini munchkin pumpkins that tickled her to no end. But she was especially puzzled over a gray pumpkin she discovered. Noting it's coloring, she inquired, "Mommy, that pumpkin is gray. Does that mean it's really old?"
Wishing you and your family a safe and fun Halloween! I look forward to having some baby news for you soon!
Until next time… Peace, Love, and Dirty Diapers,

I know it's crazy to turn down a celebratory gift-giving extravaganza, but I was staunchly opposed to having a baby shower for our newest little munchkin. After such a wonderful and incredibly generous turnout for Gray's shower two and a half years ago, I couldn't fathom asking folks to do it all over again! I didn't want people to feel obligated to buy us something, when we have everything we need and then some.
Cut to: a bunch of our friends pooled together and suggested a "Diaper Drop" instead of the traditional shower. I'd never heard of this concept, but I'll admit I was immediately persuaded. If you're in the dark like I was, a Diaper Drop is a chance for friends and family to share in your new baby excitement, while simultaneously dropping off diapers and wipes. And who can't use those? It's not like we saved those hand-me-downs from Gray (thank God). So, lo' and behold, we sort of wound up with a shower anyway, despite my heavy protestations… and darned if it wasn't a blast!
Thanks to our dear friends Beth, Brad, Brittany, JD, Sarah, Brian, and Michael, (apparently it takes a village to throw us a party!) we wound up with an incredibly fun Sunday afternoon, spent munching on French-themed hors d'oeuvres, laughing with some of our closest friends, and stockpiling diapers galore! Check out the photographic evidence to prove it…

Congratulations Jenna!!!! (((Hugs)))
congrats, can't wait until it is released.
A very big cogratz to you! Welcome to the wonderful world of being an author. ;0) x
It's hard to believe four years have gone by since I married my husband (October 10th, 2010), until I think about the fact that we have a 2 ½ year-old, and another on the way. I guess when you spend the majority of those four years changing diapers and watching your belly grow to the size of a Mack truck, one tends to lose track of time.
With baby #2 due in only a month (if she waits it out…), we've been spending the majority of our last few weekends prepping. I'm finally buckling down and getting organized, and poor Brad has been working on a "honey do" list as lengthy as Route 66. With that in mind, we are treating ourselves to a much-needed dinner out for our special day. Traditionally, the gift for the fourth year is supposed to be flowers, but I'm lucky if I can waddle out of the house long enough to get the mail, so I think my flower-picking days may be temporarily numbered. A dinner sounded like a fair solution. I mean, what pregnant woman can turn down food?
In honor of our special day four years ago, I've provided a selection of wedding photos for you this week, most of which I've never published before.
Until next time… Peace, Love, and Dirty Diapers,

I recently recalled a random (but very fond) childhood memory… I was probably 7 or 8 years old, and my brother and I wanted to go to the movies. We didn't spend money on that sort of thing at my house, so my mom improvised. She laid a quilted blanket out on the living room floor, in front of our old television set. She made homemade popcorn in one of those old-fashioned machines with the butter reserve, and poured a celebratory cup of 7-Up for both my brother and I. That evening, we sat and feasted while watching the Disney Sunday night movie, which was probably Escape To Witch Mountain, or The Shaggy Dog, or Parent Trap. It was such a treat to have soda and popcorn—two things we definitely were not allowed to frequently indulge in. And it was treasured family time to boot!
In an effort to recapture the special memory from so long ago, I thought I would recreate the "indoor movie night" idea. These days, I find myself swapping the old live-action flicks for classic cartoons such as Lady & The Tramp, Jungle Book, or the newer, dangerously catchy, cinematic demigod, Frozen. (Which, for the record, I've seen in excess of 200 times already. Clearly its popularity is not lost on my two-year-old!) But cuddling up to watch a movie still stirs excitement for me, as it promotes much-needed family fun time. Now all I needed was the appropriate refreshments! In typical "I don't do anything the easy way" fashion, I thought I'd embellish the "popcorn & soda" concept a bit.
For obvious reasons, I'm not interested in giving sugary, carbonated beverages to my two-year-old, so the 7-Up was replaced with a little cup of sparkling water. (Or, as Gray refers to it, "spicy water.") And then it was time to make the popcorn. Sadly, I have no 70's style contraption to pop our corn kernels in. I'll admit that took some of the nostalgic joy out of it for me, but what can a girl do? Sometimes technology has its advantages too. Despite my aversion to using our microwave, I admit there are times when it comes in handy. This was one of those times. Not to mention, just when Gray began to get impatient for her snack (read: a meltdown was on the brink), she was sufficiently distracted by the miraculous novelty that is: popcorn popping. And just in case that plain old microwave popcorn wasn't fancy enough for our movie night extravaganza, I took it to another level with some cheesy, herbed goodness…
My "Pop"ular Parmesan & Herb-soaked Popcorn
(Recipe by Jenna von Oy)
1 Bag plain, unsalted microwaveable popcorn
4 Tbs. unsalted butter
1 -3 Pinches Fleur de Sel (amount varies according to your taste)
2 Stalks fresh basil
2 Stalks fresh Italian parsley
1 Stalk fresh sage
1 Stalk fresh rosemary
1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese (grated or shredded)
~Chop all of your herbs and set aside on the cutting board.
~ Put that bag of popcorn kernels in your microwave, and let those suckers go! (Actually- follow the instructions… It's usually done when there is a second or two in between popping sounds.) Put the butter in a large metal mixing bowl.
~ Heat a sautée pan on med-high. Add butter, and melt until just sizzling.
~ Take pan off heat, and add the herbs. Mix well.
~ Pour butter and herb mixture over popcorn, add salt to taste, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
~ Mix well, serve, and pray you can survive yet another viewing of Frozen!
Until next time… Peace, Love, and Dirty Diapers,

I've ditched the microwave popcorn packs and their mystery ingredients for whole kernels and a brown paper bag. Put 1/2 cup in a jumbo paper lunch bag, roll down the top a few times, and pop. It takes 2:15 in my microwave and I know exactly what went in the bag (specifically no oil).
Ive enjoyed reading your blog. I will definitely try out some of the recipes. Also, I remember you the most from – The Parkers. Amazing to see you all "grown up" and a mom.
I'll admit that I've been a bit more casual about preparing to give birth to my second daughter. At this stage of my pregnancy with Gray, I'd registered at the hospital, completely painted and decorated the nursery, and taken assorted birthing classes with my husband. I had newborn diapers stockpiled and coming out of my ears, and I'd already purchased the perfect "bringing baby home from the hospital" outfit. Or two. Or five. I had my somewhat overzealous "to go" bag filled to the brim, and I'd stashed it in the hall closet for safekeeping. I wasn't just making progress; I was thoroughly prepared. And by "thoroughly prepared," I mean that I could have gone into labor during any number of catastrophic, cataclysmal conditions, and had all bases covered. I could have birthed a baby while floating down the Amazon River on a driftwood raft lit only by Tiki torches, as long as I had my well-stocked, super-sized "to go" bag along for the ride.
Now ask me what I've done thus far for the impending birth of my second daughter… The answer is short and simple: nothing. Unless, of course, you count the fact that I've located my nursing bras. Which, I suppose, would be somewhat more notable had they not been holding vigil in my underwear drawer all along.
To be clear, my lackluster efforts aren't to suggest I'm not equally excited to meet this new little bundle of joy who will be gracing us with her presence sometime before mid-November. I'm absolutely over the moon about her arrival; there's no casual indifference about it! It's not that I'm too exhausted, or hell-bent on procrastinating like I'm studying for a college Physics exam, or in denial that the sleepless nights are in our very near future. It's not even that the novelty of readying for a baby has worn off. It's that chasing after a 2-year-old has made the time go by faster than I can say, "We've come a long way, baby!"
I'm only a little over a month away from giving birth, which sort of snuck up on me. You know, in the beautiful and treasured way that only a wriggling, hiccupping, bladder-kicking, uterus-expanding, belly-monopolizing baby can. And I know she can technically decide to make her appearance at any time, so I suppose I ought to start buckling down!
But first, there might as well be a blog about it.
During my first pregnancy, each month that passed felt like a year. As with a watched pot that never boils, the constant countdown of a pregnancy makes it seem interminable. I waited for every milestone like it was the second coming. Every punch and jab was a much-anticipated novelty that never wore off (which is still the case, if I'm being perfectly honest), and each day brought fun new ailments that made me crack open the What To Expect When You're Expecting guidebook. I woke up each morning thinking, "What can I do to lay the parental groundwork today?" I was energetic, mildly jittery, and perpetually restless. In other words, I was a typical, soon-to-be, first-time mom! But how does one truly get everything in order for a second child, when they are still marveling over the first? I mean, who has time to paint and prep a nursery when there are tea parties to be had? Or silly songs to sing? Or books to read about llama drama and hungry caterpillars? Or Frozen to be watched for the thousandth time (this week)? Moreover, who has time to rearrange the drawer of newborn clothes, when you can snuggle with the 2-year-old that's right in front of you instead? I'm suddenly finding myself in the "there's no need to rush, so why stress?" camp. Up next: Kumbaya and S'mores by the campfire. If the nursery mobile isn't hung or the crib blankets still need to be washed, we'll manage. Moreover, I don't imagine the baby will be disappointed that we were a bit slow in getting our act together. It will all fall into place eventually, right?
Or so I've convinced myself.
Perhaps my mellow approach to baby #2 is because I've relaxed into my parenting. Well, as "relaxed" as a micro-managing, type A woman can be. I'd like to think that I know a little something about what to expect now, so there isn't quite the same heightened level of pre-baby activity. There are always new things to be learned, but the curve isn't nearly as steep. This time around, I'm not buzzing with undue impatience and apprehension. In other words, I don't have the kind of nervous energy that might propel me to clean out the freezer for the fifth time this month, or stock up on a pantry full of toilet paper, or bake chocolate chip cookies for everyone in a ten-mile radius. (Though the latter may disappoint a neighbor or two.)
It certainly helps that we already have everything we need in our possession. And I do mean everything! Thanks to the wonderful gifts we received from our family and friends at Gray's baby shower, we are fully equipped with every baby-related item we could possibly want. And that's an understatement. There's even a closet full of clothes that would make the Olsen twins jealous.
At some point soon, I'll need to scour the attic for the newborn onesies and give them all a good laundering. I'll locate the bibs and burping cloths, install the infant car seat, and dust off the baby bathtub. For now, I'm getting Gray transitioned into her big girl bed, so she has time to acclimate before her sister commandeers her old crib. (So far, so good on that one!) We've also scheduled Gray for a "Tots on Tour" of the hospital where I'll be delivering, because we want her to be as involved as possible. We are making sure she shares in the excitement, so the transition won't feel quite so drastic. Thankfully, Gray has no shortage of enthusiasm over meeting her sibling. She often asks me, "Is my baby sister ready to come out yet?" and rubs my tummy like she's waiting for the genie to be liberated from the lamp. It's incredibly endearing! I encourage her to speak to her sister as much as possible, as I'm a firm believer that bonds can form even while baby is in the womb. It's neat to see Gray taking ownership of her new role as "big sister," frequently declaring vows such as, "Mommy, I'm going to share my toys with my baby sister when she gets here," and "I'm going to let her sleep with me in my big girl bed." Of course, she's in for a rude awakening when there's actually a tiny, crying human in the house, but… I couldn't be more excited that she's excited!
A neat side benefit is that Gray has really stepped up to the plate in the independence department lately. She's learning to rely on herself a little more, rather than expecting me to do everything for her. She puts her toys away without being asked, and every now and then she lets me know she's going to go to play by herself. Sometimes I find her quietly flipping through books in her reading chair, or drawing pictures at her little table. She's discovering that playtime by oneself can be fulfilling, and I'm thrilled for her. Learning to spend time alone can be cathartic and inspiring! I keep an eye on her from a distance and, of course, eavesdrop on the hilarious conversations she conducts with her stuffed animals. She likes to wax poetic about the importance of their naptime, and why they shouldn't jump on her bed. (Score! My words really ARE sinking in!) I also recently overheard her sweetly talking to her baby doll as if it were her sister. She was dressing her in some frilly get up, and offering her milk and Cheerios. I'm not sure how patient Gray will be while she waits for the baby to get big enough for that sort of quality playtime together, but I definitely have a proud big sis on my hands!
In some ways, welcoming a new little girl is nerve-wracking. Sure, on the surface we have everything we need, but it's not just about the material objects. A new baby brings unfamiliar challenges and distinct experiences. Of course, that's part of the fun of having another child, and we look forward to it immensely! However, it's tough to look beyond the example we already have running, and laughing, and gabbing (oh, the gabbing!) in front of us. It is nearly impossible to envision a daughter other than Gray, even though we can appreciate that no two children are exactly alike. I don't expect to be able to truly wrap my head around that concept until our little one has arrived and, while she and Gray will undoubtedly have some sisterly similarities, I suspect this little girl will bring a whole new type of sass along with her. It's strange to picture another child nursing, or smiling up at me with sleepy eyes, or snuggling in my arms, but I look forward to embracing her uniqueness; she will be her own exquisite, enchanting, breathtaking self. I don't wonder IF I'll love her, but rather how I'll love her differently. And there's a tremendous amount of beauty in that anticipation!
Suffice it to say we may not have the house arranged or the nursery organized yet, but we possess all of the love needed to welcome home our new family member. Our hearts are overflowing and ready for her arrival and, in the whole scheme of things, everything else is secondary…
Until next time… Peace, Love, and Dirty Diapers,

At first glance, this photo may seem like an accident. It might appear to be a random shot of nothing in particular, that no one in her right mind would purposely post as a "Photo of the Month." Upon second glance, however, I wonder if you'll notice the details that make this picture near and dear to my heart…
This is a "selfie" Gray took while we were cherishing some family cuddle time on the couch. She stole my phone (per usual), and managed to find a way to employ the camera without the use of my password (how do kids do that?!). I stumbled upon the montage of images the following morning, and almost erased them all. That is, until I analyzed them a bit more closely. Now I'm thankful my fingers weren't so hasty with the delete button!
I love that the view is taken from a 2-year-old's perspective. Who needs faces in the frame when you can capture a candid snapshot of feet? It manages to encompass all three of us (my husband, Gray, and I), along with one of our dogs, and it is clear how close together we are. That's a lot of legs and paws on one loveseat! I adore that Gray is wearing the brightest colors in the room, making her the colorful, dazzling, focal point; it's a fair depiction of her position in our lives. And I love that Brad and I, though our bodies are largely unseen, clearly bookend our baby. We are on either side of our sweet girl, offering affection, protection, and support.
Sometimes a photo says a thousand words.
Sometimes an inadvertent selfie taken by a 2-year-old says even more.
Until next time… Peace, Love, and Dirty Diapers,

From The Subtleties of the Inimitable
Mulla Nasrudin by Idries Shah
The Mulla was invited to a country house for the weekend.
His host had a number of horses paraded before the guests, so that each could choose one to ride.
The chief groom announced the horses:
'This one was ridden by Prince such-and-such; this one by the Duke of Blankshire . . .'
The Mulla was not to be outdone:
'Bring me', he said, 'a horse that has never been ridden at all.'

Photo Sharing News Byte: Facebook to Pull Ads From Pages With Sex, Violence
Fri, Jun 28, 2013 5:15 PM EDT 0:55 Wochit
Facebook Inc said it will no longer allow ads to appear on pages with sexual or violent content, as the online social network moves to appease marketers being associated with objectionable material. The moves come a month after several businesses pulled their ads from Facebook amid reports of pages on Facebook that promoted violence against women. Facebook recently said it would remove advertising from pages with content that might be offensive or controversial. Michelle Obama has officially joined Instagram and for her first upload on the popular photo-sharing site, the First Lady posted a picture of her and daughter Malia with several other women they met recently on the First Family's trip to Africa.

ISELIN, NJ -- (Marketwire) -- 02/19/13 -- IT environments are changing dramatically and becoming too complex and dynamic for traditional, manual and fragmented management approaches. Whether companies are extending the benefits of virtualization to the next level of business critical applications, virtualizing the desktop layer, adopting multiple virtualization platforms or extending their cloud exposure -- they have no tolerance for user experience issues and cost overruns.
The most common reasons why companies seek performance assurance solutions include:
- Slow response to performance problems and downtime leading to user frustration and low productivity.
- Rising IT support cost & complexity associated with traditional performance management.
- Rising infrastructure cost including the addition of new hardware used to try and solve performance problems.
- Failing or underperforming IT initiatives that don't deliver expected results.
Other common drivers for performance management and visibility include the need to prove defined service levels to internal and external customers, the requirement to show return on investment for new virtualization projects, as well as expansion of existing deployments or the refresh of outdated technologies.
As a leading provider of automated performance management solutions for virtual, cloud and physical IT infrastructures, eG Innovations is in a unique position to see how IT environments are evolving in its customer base and beyond. Having worked with hundreds of enterprises to deploy performance management and monitoring solutions, eG Innovations is observing the following IT trends as well as the way these changes elevate the need for deep performance visibility, automated cross-silo performance correlation and diagnosis, pre-emptive problem alerting and predictive analytics so that companies can deliver on the ROI promise of transformational IT.
1) Mission-critical Applications Now Virtualized - As more and mission-critical business applications such as SAP are virtualized to reap the benefits of resource abstraction, more complexity and dynamic dependencies are introduced to the service delivered to end users. With this rise in complexity, there are more opportunities for things to go wrong which makes it even more important that IT administrators take a user experience perspective and pre-emptive performance stance in order to maintain and improve the availability, reliability and performance of mission-critical application environments.
2) Virtual Desktops Go Mainstream - VDI and virtual desktop adoption continues to accelerate and broaden from pilot to full scale deployments. This increases the likelihood that support teams are bombarded with users calling with "my desktop is slow" issues. Almost half of all VDI projects still fail due to end user experience issues or cost overruns. As projects go full scale, assessing virtual desktop performance in production deployments will become a key concern as companies seek to maintain high end-user satisfaction and high return on their IT investments.
Look for performance management platforms that provide deep visibility into the entire VDI service infrastructure, from the desktop and user session to the application and virtualization layer, and across all infrastructure domains that impact user experience.
3) Virtualization Platforms Proliferate - Companies are increasingly taking advantage of multiple virtualization platforms to match the right platform to the specific requirement. VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper V, Citrix XenServer, and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization increase efficiency, enhance flexibility, and reduce hardware cost -- but they also add cross-domain dependencies and complexity that needs to be pro-actively managed. This complexity requires a new set of technologies that go beyond traditional silo and vendor centric tools and provide deeper visibility into the virtualization layer, into VMs -- from the user session and virtual application to the underlying hardware.
4) Cloud Adoption Accelerates - Cloud computing in different forms -- public, private or hybrid -- continues its fast-paced adoption rate as enterprises look to leverage it for improving the agility, scalability, redundancy and costs savings of their business operations. While cloud computing offers enterprises several benefits, it also throws up a number of new challenges when it comes to management of the performance of business services delivered from the cloud. For cloud computing to be successful, it is paramount that users of cloud-based services get the same experience as they would if these services were hosted in their corporate network. Poor user experience can threaten the success and ROI of cloud initiatives. Hence, it is essential that enterprises adopting cloud computing plan how they can manage the performance of cloud-based business services.
When performance issues occur with cloud or on-premise services, it's often difficult to pinpoint the root cause with traditional tools. A new, holistic approach is needed to ensure uninterrupted visibility across every tier and every layer of the entire cloud ecosystem and to address the needs of different stakeholders -- from cloud consumers to service providers of private, public and hybrid clouds.
In summary, traditional performance management tools are not keeping pace with the rapid rate of change in virtualized IT environments -- they are too silo driven, lack integration and do not quickly and precisely pinpoint the exact cause of performance challenges. IT managers need intelligent performance management solutions that deliver complete transparency and can troubleshoot the exact source of a problem in minutes rather than hours -- ideally before the problem manifests itself to the user.
This is where intelligent, virtualization-aware performance management delivers unique value because it:
- Boosts user satisfaction and productivity by significantly reducing downtime and improving application performance.
- Reduces IT support cost & complexity.
- Reduces or slows infrastructure cost through better hardware utilization and right-sizing.
- Delivers new IT initiatives on time, on budget, on target -- and reduces the risk, cost and complexity associated with new technologies.
2013 is going to be a year when CIOs are focused on balancing the realities of conflicting IT forces. Looking for greater visibility and performance assurance across their business and IT environments, they will be interested in deploying technology to correlate, diagnose, predict and analyze virtualized environments in order to better manage performance, improve the user experience and improve the ROI of their IT investments.

Question & Answers
Answer from: Sky
In the first part with the ice bubbles and the poison bubbles:
- try to limit the poison bubbles popped to two
- start with the color on the opposite side from the associated poison bubble
Answer from: Sky
In the top part, try going to the star bubble. If I remember correctly, if you match a color that has plus bubbles, you will get the additional bubbles and it will clear some of the bubbles away for you. From there, get the plus bubbles as you work for the babies.
In the middle part, just try to make multiple matches when you can. Try to think ahead to see which bubble popping will give you the best shots afterwards.

In late July, DJBooth featured Ciara's rumored first single, High Price, which included a guest spot from Ludacris and production by Tricky Stewart. Sounds like quite the talented combination, right? Evidently, CiCi and her label friends at Jive thought otherwise. Instead, the ATL native has decided to roll out the T-Pain-produced and accompanied Go Girl. With catchy, club-ready production, an easy-to-remember call-out hook, and an empowering message to women, the single will have listeners moving towards the dance floor and Ciara sashaying her way up the charts. While the singer's forthcoming third studio album, Fantasy Ride, does not yet have a specific release date, the project is aiming for this December.

Culver Community point guard Collin Stevens scored 15 points while serving up nine assists as the Cavaliers trumped host Triton 46-42 in a Northern State Conference Homecoming Night spoiler Friday.
Triton's Shana Anderson recorded a game-high 16 points with nine steals and five rebounds as the Lady Trojans earned an important NSC win over visiting Culver Friday night.
PLYMOUTH — The outcome was different, but it didn't get any easier for Plymouth's Pilgrims as they ended a doubleheader weekend with a home win over LaPorte by a final of 51-48 Saturday.
It was a much-needed tonic for a weary team after an NLC slugfest at Concord the night before, but the effects of the tough loss the night before were evident early as the Pilgrims were sluggish on both ends of the floor. Early foul trouble for guard David Lee turned up an unlikely hero in the first half.
PLYMOUTH — Plymouth's top five has been playing pretty well the past few weeks. When one of the Lady Pilgrims reserves steps up, it makes them downright tough to stop.
Sixth man sophomore Kaydon Fosler gave her team a spark with eight straight points at the front end of an 18-7 second frame, and the Lady Pilgrims cruised to an eventual 56-36 Northern Lakes Conference win over visiting Concord Saturday afternoon.
SOUTH BEND — With potential conference titles on the line next weekend for wrestling teams from both John Glenn and Plymouth, you would expect to see the Falcons and Rockies at their best, all the time, during a big tournament like Saturday's Northern Indiana Conference super dual.
Yeah. You would expect.
"We did wrestle hard most of the day. The problem is, we need to wrestle hard all of the day," grumbled Plymouth coach Bob Read following his team's 3-2 finish in the 12-team mat carnival at South Bend Washington.
Ditto, Glenn coach Tim White.
Girls basketball
CGA resumes play with win
The Lady Eagles hit the court running after nearly month-long holiday layover, and Culver Girls Academy claimed a 71-13 rout of visiting Lakeland Christian Saturday.
Andrijana Cvitkovic and Victoria Christlieb scored 23 and 22 points, respectively, for CGA, and Cvitkovic finished with 15 rebounds and five assists. Alle Baker also finished in double figures with 10 points in the win, which pushes the team to 8-5 on the season.

If you were looking for a quality new or used car last week, I was just the person to call.
Or at least that is what prospective buyers must have thought, as my cell phone number appeared in 23 Louisville newspaper used car classified ads for three consecutive days.
And by the end of those three days, the sales manager at a local car dealership almost went into the business of selling goats.
Monday morning, the first call came shortly after 7 a.m. A polite young woman inquired about the Ford Mustang I had advertised for sale. I assumed it was a wrong number.

The News-Democrat
The Veterans Administration will bring a health-care center to Carrollton.
Rumors throughout the community for the past few weeks – that the VA would set up shop at Traderbaker Flea Market on State Hwy. 227 – turned out to be true.
Market owners Patti and Jeff Baker said they have been notified that VA selected their site. They are turning 10,000 square feet – about one-third of their space – to the VA for the new health-care facility.
How does the Milton city commission make ends meet in these tough financial times?
The same way the families they serve do – they look for ways to trim expenses.
Commissioners gathered in a special meeting Sept. 30 to discuss options to reduce the city's expenses without compromising services.
"It's crunch time," Commissioner Steve Brierly said during the meeting. "It's time to really get tight [with expenses]."

Special to The Trimble Banner
When Trimble County traveled to North Oldham Sept. 29, the Lady Raiders volleyball team found it difficult to keep up with the powerhouse squad known as the Lady Mustangs.
The Runnin' Raiders ran in the Madison Courier Invitational this weekend.
The race was held Sept. 27 at Hanover College, the NCAA Division III National College Championship XC course. Teams such as Silver Creek (IN), Switzerland County (IN), Madison (IN), Austin (IN), Scottsburg (IN), Charlestown (IN), New Washington (IN), Shawe Memorial (IN), Rising Sun (IN), Carroll County (KY), and Southwestern (IN) competed in the meet.
When a construction worker fell to his death Sept. 18 at Trimble County's Louisville Gas & Electric generating station, it was mere hours before a spokesman for his employer, Becon Construction, released his identity.
Nearly two weeks later, that same spokesman is releasing new information – not about the cause of the accident, but about the man's true identity.
It took 15 years, but Juan Fernandez won his first Jim Ramsey Tennis Tournament this past weekend.
The tournament, an annual event for 28 years, was held Saturday, Sept. 27, at the county's Robert M. Westrick Memorial Park. The tournament is named for Ramsey, a fellow Carroll County High School alumni of organizer Doug Fothergill's, who died in an an automobile accident two years after graduation.
Fears of low turnout for last weekend's Trimble County Repair Affair proved unfounded as more than 150 people showed up for the event.
By LARRY SULLIVAN JR.
It's been a long, rocky, country road for the Trimble County football team, 1-3.
A Louisville man was arrested Sept. 28 and charged with DUI after the vehicle he was driving collided with two houses outside Milton.
Mark Jeffery, 36, was arrested shortly after the collision that damaged two homes in the 9900 block of Hwy. 421 North.
According to Milton Fire & Rescue Assistant Chief Jason Long, a 1999 Buick Lasabre crashed into the two homes, "running through the garage" of one, after Jeffrey lost control of the car just before 3 a.m. Sunday.

I use white lightening and thrush buster, but is there something to spray on to help get rid of thrush and help prevent it as well? Four days straight of rain & mud and I need to help the hooves from taking a beating.
ACV? Bleach?
I mix up a spray bottle of apple cider vinegar mixed with tea tree oil as a preventative,but do use something stronger for treating thrush.
A well balanced hoof.....otherwise clean them and use what ever product you can find that will not damage health tissue.
I have:
white lightening
I like white lightening the best for treating thrush. Just curious is there is something to put on more frequently for hoof health in wet weather.
Two of mine and not much effected by the wet, but one is more prone to thrush. He has flat feet.
Durosole ,Keratex and Thrushbuster all contain formalin....That works on thrush but also on heathy tissue. White lightening soak would be my choice if it is deeply seated thrush. Followed by Quater Master (from a vet) or any brand of Cow Mastitise medication. ( Dry cow, today, tomorrow )
Otherwise they all work as a good preventative from time to time.
I've used iodine successfully as a preventative. Just take a decent strength solution (about 5% or so) and squirt a little line around the cleft of the frog and on the sole of the hoof. Try not to get any on yourself (eww - stinky stained hands). I've also heard that this works for hardening the sole if your horse is a bit tender footed.
diluted iodine & salt solution
diluted clorhexidine
diluted lysol
My gelding got thrush every winter. I've had him for four years now, and the first three years he would get thrush as soon as it so much as sprinkled!
I started him on SmartHoof this spring, mostly for the copper and zinc (I was aiming for a cheaper version of CA Trace) and he has not had any thrush at all this year, despite record amounts of rainfall and mud.
So I do think there is a correlation with diet. But I also pick out their hooves every single day, regardless of how pointless it may seem. Of course, I have always done that, and he was getting thrush anyways.
ETA: And to get rid of existing thrush, I highly recommend the cow mastitis cream (either Today or Tomorrow). It clears it up really fast!
Plain ol Soapy water (I like blue Dawn dish soap mixed in water in a spray bottle) will go a long way and can be used every day when you clean the feet. No need to rinse the soap away either. Pick foot as celan as you can and then and spray and scrub with the hoof pick brush. Spray bottle makes it easy as pie and doesnt get you or the horse wet. Rinse and repeat till good and clean. Remember how your momma always told you to wash your hands because it kills germs? Works, its cheap, less chemicals and it doesnt harm the hoof.
Lotrimin AF
PREVENTIVE (in keeping with the topic of the thread) means something that will stick around for a while and protect the DEAD INSENSITIVE frog tissues from being invaded. Dorasole and Thrush Buster have, formalin, iodine and gentian violet. The formalin is absorbed and crosslinked in a few minutes. The iodine and gentian violet stick around for a while making the horn surface toxic to microbes. Solutions containing copper also have some residual PREVENTIVE application.
White lightening soaks and No Thrush powder- especially for thrush in the central sulcus. I use a toothbrush to rub in the NT into the frog and all crevices. You can spray the hoof with a little water to help the powder stick, if you need to. I find you have to be really diligent with treating it and continue to treat for a few weeks. I like that the No Thrush doesn't introduce any extra moisture (or a minimal amount of moisture if you choose spray the hoof with a mist of water)
And both White lightening and No Thrush won't destroy healthy tissue.

Yes, but will she stop at any stop signs or stop lights along the way? If so, fine, she's a law-abiding citizen. If not, [Portion removed due to disrespectful comment or offensive language]

I am sure by now you are in New Orleans. I am doing the Lake Ontario ride in July.
From 9 to 20. Any good advice on training? I know you are busy. I am 72 but still think I can do this ride. I am really nervous though about the long distances each day and the humidity since I have spent the last 7 years in the dry climate of Arizona after spending my life in MA. Getting used to the humidity is on of my nervous feelings.
I ride about 4 times a week now but will be back in MA in a couple of weeks and hope to ride at least 6 days a week with one rest day.
Hope you can respond. Thanks, Linda Gelpke. firstname.lastname@example.com
