Taipei, Taiwan – Apacer's exclusive CoreProtector Technology for SSD data security protection is upgraded - once again: In addition to the other security classes of the suite such as Data Protect, Write Protect and Device Protect, Boot Protect has been added to compliment the others and allow for very tight management of information security. Boot Protect requires users to enter an Access Code for access identification before even entering the OS environment. The management mechanism and control with multiple partitions and multiple users allows each computer to achieve security control via different Access Codes, achieving perfect management of data security.
Part of the Core Securtiy Suite, Apacer's Class 4 Boot Protect Technology is the ultimate security class of Apacer's CoreProtector series. It tightly restricts unauthorized access of a computer system. Users can set an access code during the system boot process so that no one else will be able to access the operating system or SSDs itself without the correct access code.
Boot Protect Technology is ideally applicable for SSDs with multiple OS-run storage zones that are independent from one another. For example if an SSD is divided into two storage zones with an OS installed in each zone, the host can decide which zone to access by entering the corresponding access code.

|Portwell's NIC-51010: A Gigabyte PCIe network card compliant with IEC60601-1 and featuring an isolated Ethernet 1000Base-T interface for medical applications
FREMONT, CA. -- American Portwell Technology, Inc., (www.portwell.com), a wholly owned subsidiary of Portwell, Inc., a world-leading innovator in the Industrial PC (IPC) market and a Premier member of the Intel® Internet of Things (IoT) Solutions Alliance, has designed and created a new medical Ethernet isolation card that can be added to any computer with a PCIe slot. The new NIC-51010 is a Gigabyte PCIe network card that is IEC60601-1 compliant and features an isolated Ethernet 1000Base-T interface for medical applications. "We designed the new NIC-51010 LAN card with an IEC60601-1 compliant galvanic separation because that's a key requirement in a doctor's office, healthcare facility or hospital network when transmitting data between medical devices and systems through Ethernet to conventional IT equipment," says Jack Lam, American Portwell's senior program manager.
According to Lam, the key feature of Portwell's new NIC-51010 medical LAN card is that it is designed to form a single bridge between medical and conventional equipment. It instantly eliminates the need for expensive medical LAN isolators that would normally have to be inserted between the traditional LAN ports and the medical device. "In this way," Lam explains, "it lowers the total cost of providing galvanic isolation and simplifies the actual system design."
Other features of Portwell's new NIC-51010 medical LAN card include: RJ45 in/out networks isolator for galvanic isolation with dialectic strength of up to 4000 volts; one Gb/s Ethernet IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab PHY specifications compliance; IEEE 802.3az energy efficient Ethernet; IEEE 1588 precision clock synchronization; Jumbo frame support (9.6KB); Audio-Video Bridging (AVB) support (802.1Qav); two transmit and two receive queues; and TCP/UDP/IP stateless offload.
The new Portwell NIC-51010 medical LAN card solves a serious problem within medical safety zones. "All IT devices such as computers, printers, servers and the like that are connected together with Ethernet cables have a direct electrical connection with other IT devices within the network structure," Lam explains. "Whenever computers or medical devices are connected to an Ethernet network, leakage currents can appear from over this datalink and this can be especially dangerous in the patient's environment. Our new IEC60601-1 compliant NIC-51010 LAN card reduces this risk by isolating the connected device from these currents and voltages over the data line up to 4000 volts," Lam confirms.
"What's more," Lam continues, "the NIC-51010 medical LAN card can be added to any computer with a PCIe x1 compatible card slot. To ensure ease of use, we include matching slot brackets for full-height or low-profile assembly, fitting in both 2U and 4U systems. With this card," Lam adds, "our customers no longer need the expensive medical isolators that would otherwise have to be inserted between the LAN port and the medical device. This not only lowers costs, but also simplifies overall system design. And as always," Lam assures, "our customers not only benefit from the most up-to-date technology and features, but they also gain peace of mind from the long life cycle support (7+ years) inherent with every Portwell product."
Product details: www.portwell.com/products/detail.php?CUSTCHAR1=[...]
Product availability: In addition to American Portwell Technology, Inc., the Portwell NIC-51010 IEC-60601-1 compliant medical LAN card is also available through Arrow Electronics, Inc. and Avnet, Inc.

|U.S. DoD Approves Curtiss-Wright COTS Network Switch and Router for Listing on Unified Capabilities Approved Product List (DoD UC APL)
ASHBURN, Va. – Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) today announced that two industry-leading rugged IT security products from its Defense Solutions division, a Cisco® Systems Solution Technology Integration (STI) partner, have been approved by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) for listing on the DoD Unified Capabilities Approved Product list (DoD UC APL). Having successfully completed testing and certification for Information Assurance (IA) and Interoperability (IO), the Parvus® DuraMAR® 5915 mobile IP Router subsystem and Parvus® DuraNET® 30-2020 managed Ethernet Switch subsystem are now available for purchase directly from the DoD's Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) website.
The DuraMAR 5915 with Cisco® IOS Rel. 15.2GC TN 1429401 now is listed on the US Department of Defense DISA UC APL (Unified Capabilities Approved Product List) as a Customer Edge Router (CER). The DuraNET 30-2020, which features Cisco IOS 15.2E TN 1429402, is listed on the APL as an Access Internet Protocol (IP) Switch.
"We are very proud to be able to announce DoD APL Approval for the Parvus DuraMAR 5915 router and DuraNET 30-2020 switch, which informs DoD agencies these Unified Capabilities systems may be purchased and operated over all DoD network infrastructures worldwide," said Lynn Bamford, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Defense Solutions division. "The UC APL listing tells DoD agencies that Curtiss-Wright's Parvus products have met DISA's demanding security and functional requirements. It also provides any organization that their rigorous standards for security, high availability, and performance can be met by Curtiss-Wright."
The purpose of the DoD Unified Capabilities (UC) APL is to maintain a single consolidated list of products that have completed Interoperability (IO) and Information Assurance (IA) certification. Use of the DoD UC APL allows DoD Components to purchase and operate UC systems over all DoD network infrastructures. The APL is the only listing of equipment by DoD to be fielded in DoD networks. DoD components are required to fulfill their system needs by only purchasing APL listed products, providing one of the listed products meets their needs. This means the APL must be consulted prior to purchasing a system or product. If no listed product meets the organization's needs, they may sponsor a product for testing that does meet their needs.
Integrating Cisco 5915 Embedded Services Router (ESR) technology, the DuraMAR 5915 delivers optimal networking performance in all mobile, harsh conditions. This rugged, small form factor subsystem is qualified to meet MIL-STD-810G, MIL-STD-461F, MIL-STD-1275, and MIL-STD-704F standards. Thanks to its industry standard Cisco IOS-based routing architecture, the unit speeds and simplifies the integration of networking routing and switching functionality in deployed industrial, along with military and commercial aerospace applications such as tactical ground vehicles and rotary and fixed wing aircraft, while reducing user training requirements. It enables system integrators to deploy Cisco Mobile Ready Net capabilities, including data, video, and voice services, virtually anywhere LAN or WAN connectivity may be required, especially in mobile, airborne, ground, manned or unmanned vehicle and sensor applications.
The Parvus DuraNET 30-2020 is an ultra-rugged 19-port Cisco IOS-managed Layer 2+ network switch subsystem integrating Cisco's ESS 2020 Embedded Services Switch technology with an isolated MIL-STD-1275/704 power supply in an IP67 (dust/water proof) sealed aluminum chassis with MIL-DTL-38999 connectors. Designed for Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) sensitive harsh military and civil environments (i.e. aircraft, vehicle, mining, industrial), the unit provides reliable local area network (LAN) switching capabilities with the ease of use, secure access, and manageability expected from Cisco-based technology.
The DuraMAR 5915 and DuraNET 30-2020 subsystems complement Curtiss-Wright Cisco-based Parvus family subsystems, including the DuraNET 3000 and DuraNET 4948, as well as non-Cisco-based networking line replaceable units (LRUs) such as the DuraNET 20-10. They also complement Curtiss-Wright DuraCOR and DuraWORX mission computer subsystems, which can be mechanically integrated with either of these APL-listed Cisco-based router/switch units.

text: Im Kay, Im a 23 yr old mother of one and an abuse survivor. I need a place to share what happened. To know what it wasnt my fault. To hear someone say "its okay". My husband is extremely supportive but he doesnt 100% understand what I am going through. He's also dealing with PTSD and its really hard for him. Here's my story

The bags are not the ones we had purchase at a local grocer, even though they look the same and have the same name they are totally different bags. When you fill them to a normal amount and then pick up the bag the double lock closures pop loose. Not very convenient when packing things to go in a storage unit. The reason we picked these was so we could pack small items together, medium items together and then our larger things like blankets and comforters together. If you staple or tape these shut you can use them but we had wanted to be able to go to storage and get out what we wanted and close the bags back up, it didn't work. If you have a child that needs a bag for school items you might get by with these no matter what size you buy but other than that I wouldn't recommend for anything other than light things.
These are the perfect size for large craft or art projects. would also be great for storing clothes for the season changes or light blankets. GREAT product.
The bags are great they hold a lot of stuff very strong too. Spring cleaning is made easy. Wow.

SAT lessons:
My SAT score was a 2330 (99+ percentile). I have been teaching test preparation for a number of years, and have many devised and proven techniques for helping students reach mastery. My goal with students is to break every difficult question into several very simple steps that are easy and natural to figure out.
LSAT lessons:
My LSAT score was a 174 (99th percentile). My methods are very simple and very effective - when I was preparing for the LSAT, they were able to get my practice scores up into the 99th percentile in just a few weeks - and all of my students see visible improvement in their performance when they begin studying with me.
Music lessons:
I have over a decade of professional performing experience worldwide, as well as having composed for various movies/television...Whatever you would like to do with music I can help you with, including lessons in woodwinds (saxophone, clarinet, flute), piano, theory, composition, MIDI production, jazz improvisation, you name it...!
Conversational Hebrew/Bar Mitzvah Lessons:
A lot of experience teaching and reading for various synagogues in the US and Canada - please be in touch for more details!
In the professional performance world, the woodwinds are often grouped together - saxophonists, for example, are very often expected to be proficient on the clarinet for certain jobs. Because of this, over my 10+ year performance career as a saxophonist, I was necessitated to study and become proficient at the clarinet. Because of the large skill overlap, this was not very difficult, and much of my saxophone expertise was transferable. My knowledge base and experience on clarinet are certainly sufficient to teach lessons at a beginner or intermediate level.
Having studied at Berklee College of Music, I took the most advanced ear training classes, including Advanced Ear Training, Atonal Solfege 1, and Atonal Solfege 2. I teach private instrumental lessons and always emphasize ear training as an important tool for musical improvement. My methods are to work on each interval individually and help to facilitate a vivid image of that interval in the student's memory, and eventually translate that ability into longer musical phrases and pieces.
In the professional performance world, the woodwinds are often grouped together - saxophonists, for example, are very often expected to be proficient on the flute for certain jobs. Because of this, over my 10+ year performance career as a saxophonist, I studied and became proficient at the flute. Because of the large skill overlap, this was not very difficult, and much of my saxophone expertise was transferable. The flute has been called for as a double for many jobs I have done, and I have played everything on it from jazz charts to Vivaldi concertos. My knowledge base and experience on flute are certainly sufficient to teach lessons at a beginner level.
I graduated with two degrees from Berklee College of Music, in Performance as well as Film Scoring. My education includes expansive knowledge in music theory spanning a wide variety of styles and genres, as well as the study of composing and orchestrating for all sorts of different instrumentations. I have experience teaching on a few different instruments, including saxophone and piano.
I have a formal Hebrew/Jewish education and have worked professionally as a Torah reader at a plethora of synagogues in the New York area as well as Boston and Canada, including experience teaching Hebrew/bar mitzvah lessons. I spent one year studying classes in Hebrew at the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary of Yeshiva University in New York.
My LSAT score was 174 (99th percentile), largely due to my extremely simple and effective practice methods, which I teach to all of my students. I have been teaching test preparation for a number of years, and have many devised and proven methods for making tests that seem tough as easy as they can possibly be.
I own a Mac and work with it for hours every day. Part of my employment is producing music for videos and the like, which involves the most advanced of techniques and shortcuts on the Macintosh platform. My degrees from Berklee had a huge technological component which involved getting to know the Macintosh computer inside-out, in order to facilitate quick and efficient work no matter what the task.
I studied at Berklee College of Music, where I graduated with two degrees, in performance and film scoring respectively. Additionally I have over a decade of professional experience as a musician and composer in the United States and Canada.
My degree in Film Scoring from Berklee College of Music involved taking classes in piano technique, and composing, orchestrating, and sequencing music on the piano/keyboard. I have coached piano students up to an intermediate level in subjects such as general musical theory, jazz performance techniques, and advanced chord voicings.
I was drawn towards learning poker a number of years ago when I began playing recreationally with friends, and started noticing that even though a lot of luck was involved, very often it was the same people winning and the same people losing. I wanted to pinpoint exactly why I seemed to be beating my friends so often, so that I could institutionalize whatever it was into my game, and discover more ways to exploit the weaknesses of other poker players. I began to watch and study poker on TV and the internet, and read books detailing strategic conventions and ideas. This was when I realized just how multi-faceted of a game poker is - it involves so much of memory, rational thought, discipline, and mathematical understanding, but at the same time, a great deal of simple instinct. Then, the experience of playing hundreds of thousands of hands online was what engrained the instinct in me of what to do with any particular hand in any particular situation, since I had been faced with every situation before and tried different strategies, my memory always noting the one that worked the most often. This knowledge is easily teachable to others in much less time than it took for me to assemble the knowledge and experience.
My SAT score was 2330, and my math score was a perfect 800. My goal with students is to break every difficult question into several very simple steps that are easy and natural to figure out. I have been teaching test preparation privately for a number of years.
My SAT score was 2330, and my reading score was a perfect 800. I have been teaching test preparation for a number of years, and have many devised and proven techniques for helping students reach mastery of reading comprehension. I focus on breaking down difficult passages and sentences into very clear and simple parts.
My SAT score was 2330, and my writing score was 730 (98th percentile). I have done a lot of freelance English editing, and have been teaching test preparation for a number of years. I focus on fixing a few common types of grammatical errors that many students make, and breaking down difficult sentences into very clear and simple parts.
My degree in Performance from Berklee College of Music was specializing in the saxophone. I have studied with some of the greatest saxophonists of this generation, and have performed with a wealth of ensembles worldwide. I have a lot of experience tutoring and coaching saxophonists at every level.
Having studied at Berklee College of Music, I took the most advanced ear training classes, including Advanced Ear Training, Atonal Solfege 1, and Atonal Solfege 2. The crux of improving at ear training, for myself and for my students and peers, has always been training at sight singing. Creating a vivid pitch memory for every note is crucial to improving at ear training, and in turn at any facet of musical skill. Sight singing is a particular skill that trains that aspect most effectively. I have spent a lot of time at the piano training in sight singing in order to improve my pitch memory, and have used these techniques in teaching others.

Ball-built Kepler telescope in jeopardy
Send this to a friend

The Kepler space telescope, built by Boulder-based Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., may be crippled, ending its planet-spotting mission years early, if NASA can't fix a reaction wheel that orients the telescope correctly.
The space agency announced Wednesday it will try to correct friction issues with the spacecraft's reaction wheel — the second reaction wheel on Kepler to have such trouble — but it's not clear what might work.
Kepler, launched into orbit in 2009 by Centennial-based United Launch Alliance, was built to scan the nearby regions of the galaxy for Earth-like planets through 2016.
Ball Aerospace, a unit of Broomfield-based Ball Corp. (NYSE: BLL), was the prime contractor for Kepler.
John Troeltzsch, Ball Aerospace program manager for the Kepler-like Sentinel space telescope designed to spot asteroids bound to collide with Earth, was asked in April at the National Space Symposium about Kepler's earlier reaction wheel issues.
He said Ball had solved it for future space telescope projects by changing the suppliers used for the components.

An armada of modern kayaks built for fishing slipped silently into the moving waters of the Mississippi River north of Clearwater early Saturday morning, as some 40 members of the Minnesota Kayak Fishing Association gathered to compete in a friendly competition based on the successful hooking and releasing of Smallmouth Bass.
Anglers worked shorelines, riffles, pools and island edges as their kayaks enabled them to deftly ply the moving and sometimes very shallow waters.
Born out of sealskin-covered craft first used for hunting and subsistence living by Aleut, Inuit, and Yupik peoples of the sub-Arctic and other northern regions, modern fishing kayaks are no longer the very tippy craft of yesteryear.
Todays kayak are built from modern polymers and other space-age materials and are designed like small fishing battleships, ready to take on any river, lake or ocean. New designs and improvements have allowed even wary skeptics the chance to counter the popularity of the motorized fishing boat in an affordable fashion.
Affordability has been the key to the success of these boats and the crowds have joined in on fishing tournaments and and kayak fishing clubs around the country.
The Minnesota Kayak Fishing Association is no different. It boasts nearly 500 hundred active members that gather for weekly outings and tournaments. Members meet to share ideas on fishing, rigging kayaks, and learn the latest innovations in rod holders, depth finders, trolling motors, downriggers and more.
Dan Meer, owner of Clearawters Outfitting Company, host of this years' Bronzeback Classic Fishing Tournament said, "I've seen a rise in sales and rentals of fishing kayaks this year. Kayaking allows everyone to get into the sport at affordable prices compared to traditional fishing boats and motors. It's a very quiet and gentle sport that has no boundaries. We have first-timers that get so addicted to kayaks that they enthusiastically talk the sport up, getting friends and family involved."
This tournaments' anglers, who traveled to the Mississippi from all over the Midwest, cast their lures in hopes to cash in on a host of prizes that included rods, reels, kayak gear and cash prizes. Two new kayaks were given away to winning anglers.
Tournament anglers met early Saturday morning at Clearwater Outfitting Company in Clearwater, loading kayaks onto the shuttle trailers under dim street lights. They were then transported to a starting point upstream to float the 9 miles down river in search of their three biggest fish of the day. Each fish was carefully measured, then photographed on cell phones. Images were e-mailed to the contest headquarters after the fish were released back into the river.

Article by Mitch Petrie, SPECIAL TO STARTRIBUNE.COM :
Wild coach Mike Yeo, backed by players Erik Haula, Keith Ballard, Matt Cooke and Justin Fontaine, took to the waters of Lake Minnetonka in the first "Mike Yeo Classic" bass tournament. The event, put on by the Minnesota Wild Foundation and Sponsored by Gander Mountain, is a fundraiser for the Angel Foundation and the Miracles of Mitch Foundation. Both organizations assist individuals and families in need of financial support as they fight cancer.
Teammates and Alumni from the MN Wild regroup after a day on Lake Minnetonka
Fans had the opportunity to bid online to be in one of seven boats. Others were drawn from a pool of season-ticket holders who submitted trophy shots of their fish while wearing Wild gear.
"The event came together quickly as part of our commitment to the community." Explained Coach Yeo. "We've supported The Angel Foundation and Miracles of Mitch Foundation in the past and this is a great opportunity help raise awareness and money for both these great charities." he continued. When asked about his support of cancer charities Coach Yeo explained, "Most of us have been effected by cancer in our lives and supporting families in this struggle is very important for me." .
Anglers were competing for the best combined bag of five fish. "Our boat had lots of action and we caught tons of fish but couldn't find the big ones." Said Yeo.
Wild Alumni Darby Hendrickson fished with Coach Yeo, season ticket holder Kurt Casby and his daughter Nicole. "It was a great experience to bring everyone together to talk hockey, fish, and raise money for some great charities." said Hendrickson. "We caught our limit of bass but won't be in the money." He continued.
Both Yeo and Hendrickson expect the event to grow. "We started with six boats and a great sponsor in Gander Mountain and next year hope to grow the event to 25 boats". Said Yeo.
Team leader Jason Zucker and guests Scott and Nancy Bonnema and from Zimmerman, MN. show off two bass over 3.5 lbs each. The fish on the left was the biggest fish of the day. Nancy won the opportunity to fish by submitted a picture of her in a Wild jersy holding a trophy bass.
Results for the event were as follows (All boats caught a 5-fish limit):
1. Team Justin Fontaine : 13.42 lbs
2. Team Matt Cooke : 12.92 lbs
3. Team Jason Zucker : 12.84 lbs
4. Team Erik Haula : 10.14 lbs
5. Team Keith Ballard : 8.04 lbs
6. Team Mike Yeo : 6.14 lbs
Biggest fish of the day honors went to Team Zucker with a 3.70 lbs bass.
Today I hand over the reins of my blog to Edina Senior/Intern Extraordinare, Seth Bartodziej….
At the end of May, Edina seniors have the opportunity to do a two week project or internship on a topic of interest. I wanted to do an internship with a company in the outdoor industry. I met Mitch Petrie, owner of Muddy Boot Outdoors, through a friend of my father. I enjoy watching fishing and hunting shows on TV and wanted to have a behind the scenes look at the outdoor-recreation industry. Two months after laying out my plan I started my May-Term Project as intern for Muddy Boot Outdoors.
One of my projects was to write a blog post on an outdoor experience. Mitch suggested I try out bowfishing and relate the experience in the blog. I know the sport is growing in popularity and have seen videos but have never tried it before. I was up for the adventure.
Carp are an invasive species that reproduce rapidly and if not taken care of will take over a body of water. They cause damage to our native fish species including our state fish, the walleye. Carp eat walleye eggs and cause a huge decrease in population in native game fish. When they forage they disturb sediment at the bottom of the lake that contains pollutants like phosphorous and nitrogen. Once disturbed these pollutants fertilize algae and weeds that negatively affect water quality. We also targeted bowfin (dogfish), though not invasive, they're classifed as a rough fish and can reek havic of fish beds as well. As a bonus, the sport is fun, enjoyed by people of all ages, and easily accessible in Minnesota's many lakes and streams. How often is it you can have fun while helping the ecosystem of our local lakes, streams, and pond? Some may ask why are you killing them for no reason…it's clear to me there's a strong conservation argument to remove carp for lakes and enlisting sportsmen who volunteer for the task makes sense.
Our adventure started at Lake Independence MN, which coincidently is infested with carp and struggles with severe algae blooms each open-water season. When we arrived the conditions were not in our favor. Mitch got a shot off at a monster carp, probably 25 lbs; unfortunately he missed him and by the time I had a shot the carp was long gone. We perched on top of a bridge and scoped out the water for a while. After several unproductive minutes we decided to try a calmer and shallower spot. On our way it started to rain heavier but it didn't matter as our spirits were high in anticipation of success.
Mitch led the charge down a rain-slicked embankment and through the woods to a creek he had told me about. As we walked Mitch told me the plan and what to expect. I took the lead along the creek in hopes of seeing a trophy swimming in the water. We got about 30 feet down the trail when Mitch spotted the first one. We stopped and tried to get a clear shot at him but never did. The fish spooked and swam upstream and we quickly made chase. We came up to a clearing and Mitch had a plan, there was a bridge about 50 yards up and I was to sneak ahead and post on the bridge. Mitch would walk on the bank and throw rocks and branches to push them towards me. The plan was perfect but unfortunately no carp swam past. Apparently the fish were able to sneak by in a deep channel in the creek.
We decided we should try one last spot a few hundred yards down the creek. As we approached the spot I had the bow in hand and crept down hoping spook any fish that might be near. I spotted a huge carp lying in a grass bed no more than 3 feet away from me. I drew back, but the fish saw me draw and swam away. At this point I was wondering how we were ever going to get one.
We continued to creep downstream where 50 yards later we found the mother lode of carp. There were so many, maybe 50, that I thought if I shot into them I couldn't miss. Sure enough when I draw back the bow and shot, I missed! Needless to say I was disappointed. We saw a fish off to our left and Mitch took a shot and scored a huge dog fish; it weighed around 10 pounds. We pulled it up on to the shore and snapped this quick picture:

I was so excited watching it flop in the grass and when I remembered Mitch was still behind me shooting… As I turned around he had our first carp of the day hooked up. A few seconds later we had two on the shore! Seconds later, I see a big bull headed straight at me and draw back and release…it's a hit! I couldn't believe that I finally had one on but didn't know what to do next. Mitch helped me pull the big boy in and congratulated me on my first carp.

We wasted no time getting back to the shooting spree. At this point we realized the carp were stuck between a dam of trees and a big drain pipe feeding into the creek. As we moved upstream I saw a dogfish. I pulled back and wham, fish on! It was my first dogfish with the bow only seconds after my first carp. But the day wasn't over… Mitch headed down stream to the dam and I started up top and walked in the water down towards him, hoping to spook a few him. It worked; he shot two before my drive was complete. I waded across the water to a little grass patch that had a back water cove where they were really loaded up. Sure enough I put a shot on a nice one, right in the back and brought on shore. After another half hour, we wrapped up our experience with a total of eight fish; four carp, four dogfish.

An experience like this has me hooked on bowfishing; I can't wait for my next chance to go again!

6:48 AM marked the opener of the MN Winter Trout Season. I headed out to Lake Cenaiko with a few friends and my son to experiece what is an annual ritual for dozens, if not hundreds of MN anglers. The gates opened around 5:30 AM with about 20 cars lined up. The guy at the gate said previous years have seen lines all the way out to the park entrance.
By 6:30 AM there were hundreds of portable shacks set up with anglers chomping at the bit to get their lines in the water. We set up our Frabill Headquarters Hub for the first time. It was instantly christened "The Shangri-La". We could fit a small army in this shack but this morning it ws just an army of me and my son.
The recent cold added a few inchs of good ice just in the nick of time. We were fishing on good ice that was between 6" and 8" and there were a few areas marked off with thin ice but for it appeared as though the lake was 100% fishable. Once we started I found myself staring at this image for the next 3 hours with very little action:
My inaction was interupted by some hooting and hoolering from about 100 ft to my north. Aaron Dreyer from Elk River hooked into a 22.5" beauty. He fought the fish for about 5 minutes making sure not to break his 2# test line.

While I was distracted taking pictures and talking to Aaron about his big catch my buddy Matt Bistodeau was busy putting fish on the ice. By mid-morning he had three around the 15" mark.
Matt Bistodeau exits the The Shangri-La to show off his catch
My son Theo was getting a little bored and I wasn't far behind him but we kept our lines in the water and hoped for a bite. We had something hit both our lines but neither of us hooked it. A few minutes later Theo picked up a blip on the Vexilar and hooked into his first rainbow trout. A brief battle ensued with Theo winning the fight. The trout is now resting comfortably in our freezer until tomorrow afternoon when we'll cook it up for lunch!
Theo Petrie holds his first rainbow trout
Most anglers were heading off the ice by mid-morning. We cut out about 11 AM but will definately be heading back. The season runs through March 31 with angling from 1 hr before sunrise to 1 hr after sunset. It's a stocked pond with over 3000 fish released this year. As Aaron proved this morning there are some slobs swimming around. No live bait is allowed other than maggots. It costs you $5 to park and $10 for a MN State Trout Stamp.
Great-affordable fun for the whole family. See you on the ice!
I had a great time hitting the Saint Paul Ice show last week and I wasn't alone. Attandance was at or beyond record levels as anglers perpared themselves for the upcoming ice season.
If money were no object I probably would have dropped about $75,000 on a new luxury house with a matching truck, snowmobile and ATV! Unfortunately I have Ferrari dreams on a Fiat budget but still managed to come away with some fantastic products that will undoubtedly result in great fishing this winter!
1. Strikemaster - HardWater Ware Polar Parka & Bibs- $330
After several years of wearing make-shift ice wear I invested in this set of winter wear to keep me warm. I'm excited to see how it performs but trust I'll be comfortable. I'm not saying this is the best product available, however, I think it is arguably the best value for your money. Available in size Small to XXXXXL....there's one that will fit you! I also picked up a pretty sweet zipper-collar Strikemaster sweatshirt for $20 which could be the bargain of the show.
2. Frabill – Headquarters Hub Shelter - $299.99
With 3 young sons I'm rarely fishing alone and usually with another of my kid's friends or two. This year we're trying out the Frabill Headquarters Hub Shelter. This gives us plenty of room to fish as a group. I anticipate we'll use it like a HQ with holes in and around the shack. Frabill Camp Chairs @ $15/chair will replace my orange Home Depot buckets….the buckets will be officially dedicated to holding all our fish!
3. Irish Setter – Snow Claw XT Boots - $209.99
I generally use my rubber hunting boots for ice but this year picked up a pair of Irish Setter Snow Claw XT boots. They pretty much had me sold on 2000 grams of Thinsulate but the serrated cleats and Aerogel layer between my foot and the sole also sound appealing. This is a very substantial boot but amazingly light. I can see myself on the ice for many hours without cold feet!
5. Northland - Assorted Jigs & Impulse-Infused Baits - $40.00
I'll be honest…I'd buy anything Chip Leer tells me to buy! I watched him demonstrate the new Impulse Tapeworm and heard the pitch. If Chip is a believer so am I. It will be a matter of a few days before I know for myself how the products perform! $3.69/10.
6. Strikemaster – Lazer Mag Express Auger - $480
I'm upgrading my vintage Strikemaster with a Tecumseh engine to the Lazer Mag Express based on my experience using a loaner auger last year when mine was acting up. I've watched a fair amount of tips/video from the pros and know drilling holes and moving frequently can increase your success. With the Solo I can seriously drill about 5 holes for every 1 hole with my old Strikemaster…and that's with sharp bits!
The beauty of the ice show was seeing absolutely everything that an ice angler could imagine under one crammed roof. There were also deals to be had. I also spent some time checking out the Vexilar FL-22 with the new Fish Scout Camera/Case..retails for $1,200 with the case. I've asked Santa to consider my good behavior in 2011 and bring me one!
Good luck ice anglers; be careful on early ice.
Watch out fish…I'm geared up and ready to roll!

In production support it is often hard to correlate what might be happening on local servers with what users are reportedly experiencing. In April, the developers for a Java application that handles electronic distribution of scanned mail and electronic faxes were receiving reports that their application was running slowly from remote offices and came to our Performance Availability and Capacity Management (PaCMan) team for help in determining the cause of this issue. From vanilla server-side dynaTrace, everything was looking fine. No particular transaction was taking a substantial amount of time. This led us to believe that the problem may lie more on the client side. Coincidentally, we were in the middle of a Proof of Concept for dynaTrace User Experience Management (UEM) so we decided to apply these efforts towards this application to help identify the issue.
Getting insight into the actual click paths of end users and the load behavior of pages on certain browsers allowed us to improve Client Rendering Time by 47%, Overall Page Load Time by 29% as well as implementing a new feature in Struts that prevents users from impatiently clicking Save too many times causing problems on our server-side implementation.
Finding #1: JavaScript Load Behavior causing problems on IE7
Figure 1: Changing JavaScript load behavior helped to improve client-side Rendering Time by 47%
Finding #2: "Impatient" trigger save action
UEM also gives you the ability to directly correlate user actions at the client with what happens on the server. Using this ability, we were able to identify that some users were exacerbating their slowdowns by repeatedly clicking buttons and hitting refresh while they were experiencing an issue. The developers plan to fix this issue by implementing an Apache Struts feature to allow only the first press of a button to cause an action. Figure 2 shows a user that was experiencing slowdowns due to network latency (viewable in UEM), but was increasing their slowdowns by repeatedly clicking the "Save to XXXX" button and the refresh button before the page had finished loading.
Figure 2: Getting insight into end users' actions reveled problems with users impatiently clicking Save several times

Docker offers a new, lightweight approach to application portability. Applications are shipped using a common container format and managed with a high-level API. Their processes run within isolated namespaces that abstract the operating environment independently of the distribution, versions, network setup, and other details of this environment. This "containerization" has often been nicknamed "the new virtualization." But containers are more than lightweight virtual machines. Beyond their small...

The move in recent years to cloud computing services and architectures has added significant pace to the application development and deployment environment. When enterprise IT can spin up large computing instances in just minutes, developers can also design and deploy in small time frames that were unimaginable a few years ago. The consequent move toward lean, agile, and fast development leads to the need for the development and operations sides to work very closely together. Thus, DevOps become...

Do Tripods Affect How Sharp a Picture Is? Tripods can mean better photos...Right Now!The tripod:
Tripods Help Beef Up Your Compositions, Too!But equally important is the composition factor, since a tripod encourages photo-making discipline. Here's more:
Using a three-legged support forces you to slooooow down, analyze the scene, and consider how you want to shoot it. The tripod then allows you to carefully compose your picture so you can get it exactly the way you want it.
If a cloud obscures the sun or an unwanted person walks into your scene, you can wait for things to improve while your carefully thought-out composition stays put.
Finally, locking your camera into place also lets you fine-tune the composition ... just a little bit more!

Submit your extreme winter maintenance stories and photos
Tina Grady Barbaccia | January 7, 2014
With the polar vortex that has made temperatures in the Midwest drop to subzero temps (with the windchill, temps are as cold as -45 degrees Fahrenheit in Chicago and close to -30 in the Columbus, Ohio, area where I am now), this graphic made me laugh.
It's on days such as these I am grateful to be working from home in my sweatpants with my trusty Keurig just a few steps away.
However, road agency and contractor employees don't have the luxury of working from inside a cozy house. Instead, they are out in the harsh weather clearing roads and ensuring traffic safety.
How are your snow- and ice-control agency folks keeping your staff safe in these dangerous temps? Or are your employees safely working inside trucks as they plow roads?
I'd love to see your photos and hear your snow and ice stories for possible publication online and/or in print.
E-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
