Hi there! My name is Dave Gibbeson. I am a Devon coastal and landscape photographer. My photos are mostly taken around the North Devon area where I live. I enjoy photographing local scenes that capture the essence of Devon and the South West of England. I find myself drawn to the sea, and the coast is often a feature of my photos. I also like to explore and photograph the North Devon countryside and Exmoor. Some of my favourite photographic haunts include Exmoor, Instow, Westward Ho! and Clovelly.
My photography has been used in many ways including prints, stock images, literature, magazines, brochures and in the media. I aspire to have people wanting to pause and enjoy my photos.

KENTUCKY (12/31/13) - Using a few ingredients from around the house you can turn a plastic tube into a ping pong ball launcher.
•Leaf Blower
•Ping Bong Balls
•Fluorescent Tube Guard with End Caps
STEP 1: Remove one of the end caps from the fluorescent tube guard.
STEP 2: Fill the fluorescent tube guard more than half of the way with ping pong balls.
STEP 2: Place the leaf blower opening at an angle near the top of the fluorescent tube guard. Make sure you are not directly over the opening. Turn on the leaf blower and observe.
Bernoulli's Principle states as the speed increases, the pressure falls. The fast flow of air at the top of the fluorescent tube guard causes a low pressure to form. The higher pressure at the bottom of the fluorescent tube guard forces the ping pong balls up and out of the tube.

Phlox paniculata provide unsurpassed flowering in summer, clear crisp colors and fragrant flowers in profusion. While a spray program to control mildew is often necessary, the rewards are worth it. Good cut flower, fragrant, best selection for the coldest areas.
Prefers moist, humus-rich soil. Phlox can be divided every 3 - 5 years in spring or fall. Self sows prolifically but colors may not grow true to parent plant. Cut back by 1/2 in late spring/early summer to encourage more compact plants. Shear off after bloom, just above foliage to encourage more blooms. Snip off any winter-damaged shoots in spring. To allow for good air circulation, snip out all but 4 - 6 stems in mature clump.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

Full 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 Review
What's New for 2011
The 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 receives the latest OnStar 9.0 system with improved audio quality and speech recognition.
Since the current-generation GMC Sierra 1500 pickup debuted four years ago, competing trucks have outpaced the GMC with recent redesigns. But don't assume the Sierra (or its Chevrolet Silverado twin) is ready to be put out to pasture just yet. Over its production run, this full-size truck has seen its share of improvements on top of the solid foundation on which it started. Despite the mounting pressure from rival manufacturers, the 2011 Sierra 1500 remains one of the best trucks in this category.
In terms of capabilities (like towing), choice of body styles and power, the Sierra 1500 is right up there with the competition. The GMC is notable, however, for its smooth and quiet ride. Factor in comfortable seats -- at least in the upper trim levels ? and the Sierra earns our endorsement as a long-distance road-tripper. The Sierra isn't without a few faults, however. In base Work trim, the interior is aesthetically dull compared to models from Dodge and Toyota. The base V6 engine also struggles to adequately motivate this large truck. And maneuverability is hampered by a large turning radius that leads to frequent multiple-point turns.
All things considered, however, the 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 still represents a worthy choice in the very competitive full-size truck segment. In a recent Edmunds.com comparison test, a nearly identical Chevy Silverado finished a close 3rd place, bested by the 2011 Ram 1500 and 2011 Toyota Tundra, and narrowly edging out the 2011 Ford F-150. The Ford pickup has more powerful engine choices this year, but the close results from our comparison show that all of these trucks are up to the task. As such, the 2011 Sierra 1500 remains a solid choice in our book.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 is a half-ton full-size pickup that is offered in standard cab, extended cab and crew cab body styles. Standard cabs and extended cabs are available with either a standard 6-foot-6 bed or an 8-foot long bed. Crew cabs only come with a short 5-foot-8 bed.
Regular cabs can be had in base Work or midlevel SLE trims, while the extended and crew cabs are also available in the well-appointed SLT trim. An SL trim slots in between the Work and SLE models, but is only available as a crew cab, as is the range-topping Denali.
The Work trim comes with the bare necessities, which includes air-conditioning (for extended- and crew-cab versions), a trip computer, a tilt steering wheel, OnStar telematics, vinyl seat upholstery, a 40/20/40-split front bench seat and a CD/MP3 stereo with an auxiliary audio jack and satellite radio. The SL adds full power accessories, keyless entry, cruise control, satellite radio and adjustable lumbar support for the driver.
The SLE trim adds premium cloth seat upholstery, a lockable compartment with a power outlet built into the center cushion of the split front seat, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The premium SLT piles on chrome-clad alloy wheels, a premium interior with a full center console and upgraded materials, a Bose audio system with a six-disc CD changer, leather seat upholstery, remote engine start, an exclusive dash design with wood and metallic accents, 12-way power-adjustable/heated front seats and rear audio controls.
Sierra Denali models trump the SLT with a unique powertrain, suspension tuning emphasizing ride comfort, 20-inch cast-aluminum wheels, exterior styling enhancements, a heated steering wheel, a turn-by-turn navigation feature for OnStar, plus USB connectivity (optional on SLE and SLT).
Option availability varies with trim levels and body styles. It includes several towing packages, the Z71 Off-Road package (skid plates and an off-road suspension), special regional packages, the All-Terrain package (similar to the Z71 but with special interior and exterior enhancements) and the XFE (extra fuel economy) trim variant for the rear-wheel-drive 5.3-liter V8 crew cab (which features aerodynamic enhancements and lightweight aluminum components that improve fuel economy).
Other options include 20- and 22-inch wheels, a rear back-up camera, upgraded audio systems, Bluetooth, a navigation system with real-time traffic reports, a rear-seat entertainment system, heated power-folding outside mirrors, a sunroof, a power-sliding rear window, a cargo management system and rear park assist. An "EZ Lift" tailgate is also offered, and requires only about half the effort to open and close compared to the standard tailgate.
Powertrains and Performance
The 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 is available with four different engine choices. In the Work trim level, the Sierra is powered by a standard 4.3-liter V6 that produces 195 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Buyers may upgrade to a 4.8-liter V8 that makes 302 hp and 305 lb-ft, or a 5.3-liter V8 that's good for 315 hp and 335 lb-ft. The SLE trims will have one of the two V8s as standard, while the SLT has the 5.3-liter engine as standard.
A 6.2-liter V8 is available on select models and produces 403 hp and 417 lb-ft. The 6.2 V8 comes standard on the Denali. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard on the two big V8s, while the 4.8-liter V8 and the V6 come only with a four-speed automatic. In a recent Edmunds.com test of an essentially identical Chevy Silverado, when equipped with the 6.2-liter V8 it accelerated from a standstill to 60 mph in 6.6 seconds, which is quick for a full-size pickup. Properly equipped, a Sierra 1500 can tow up to 10,700 pounds.
Buyers have a choice of two-wheel drive, four-wheel drive and (Denali only) all-wheel drive. The Work and LS trims with 4WD have a traditional floor-mounted selector for the transfer case. All other 4WD trims have Autotrac, which features an automatic setting that shifts into 4WD when it detects the tires slipping.
Fuel economy estimates range from 15 mpg city/22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined for a crew cab XFE down to 12/19/14 mpg for the Denali.
Standard safety equipment includes antilock brakes (front disc, rear drum) and stability control. Front, side and side curtain airbags are also standard. Four-wheel disc brakes are available as part of the Max Trailering package.
In government crash tests, the 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 earned the top rating of five stars in frontal collisions. In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety testing, a Sierra 1500 earned a top score of "Good" for frontal-offset crash protection and a second-best score of "Acceptable" for side-impact testing.
In Edmunds.com testing, a crew cab with four-wheel disc brakes stopped from 60 mph in a short 120 feet.
Interior Design and Special Features
On the whole, the Sierra's interior fit and finish ranks highly, though base models tend to look rather dull compared to their rivals. The pricey SLT and Denali trims dress up the cabin significantly, with a unique upscale dash and door panel treatment, a full center console and attractive wood grain and metallic accents. Crew cab models feature comfortable rear seats with flip-up seat cushions that provide a nearly flat load floor. Interior storage is merely adequate, with small cupholders and haphazard organization for the center console.
Driving Impressions
Just like most modern pickups, the 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 is actually pleasant to drive. The steering is light but reasonably precise, and the truck's comfortable seats and smooth, quiet ride make road trips enjoyable. The Sierra's turning circle is a bit larger than you'll find in most other trucks, however.
Acceleration is sluggish with the base V6, while the 4.8-liter V8 provides adequate power. The 5.3-liter V8 feels brawny and the 6.2-liter V8 turns the Sierra into a veritable muscle truck. The six-speed automatic transmission that comes standard with the two bigger V8s does an admirable job of keeping power on tap, while the four-speed feels outdated by comparison.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Activists will rally at the state Capitol Tuesday ahead of Governor Andrew Cuomo's State of the State address, which is on Wednesday. The 23rd annual People's State of the State rally will take place tomorrow at noon.
Members of the Hunger Action Network hope the governor's address will call for raising the state's minimum wage to $10 an hour. They're also calling for more funding for emergency food programs, campaign finance reform and other social issues. After the rally, the group will deliver a list of priorities for the upcoming session to Senate majority leader Dean Skelos.

Carmen Ejogo
While her husband Jeffrey Wright is regarded as one of the most talented Black actors on stage or screen, Carmen Ejogo is no slouch her self. You probably remember her breakout American role in the remake of Sparkle as Sister, where she did a great job at being the rebellious 'sister' of the bunch. Look out for her acting rebellion in the coming years!

Kansas Archeology Training Program Field School 2015
The announcement for the 2015 KATP field school will be posted on this page in January 2015.
The 2014 information below, although not valid for 2015, gives an idea of what a KATP field school entails.
Retracing John Brown's Steps
The Samuel and Florella Adair Cabin, now the focus of the John Brown Museum State Historic Site, has stood in John Brown Memorial Park in Osawatomie since 1912, but originally it was located at the western edge of town. From Friday, May 30, through Saturday, June 14, 2014, the Kansas Archeology Training Program (KATP) field school will undertake intensive archeological testing at the original cabin site (14MM327).
To register you will need both of the packets below:
Samuel Adair was a struggling minister in Ohio and Michigan when he was accepted as a missionary to Kansas. The Adairs, Florella's half-brother John Brown, and many other Northern abolitionists, were active participants in the struggle to keep Kansas Territory free from slavery during the 1850s. The Adairs moved to the cabin just outside Osawatomie in March 1855 and were joined by John Brown, his five sons, and their families later that year. The Browns claimed land about 10 miles west of Osawatomie and called it Brownsville.
Pro-slavery immigrants and nonresidents were also active in Kansas, which led to a series of political and physical conflicts, the whole of which is known as "Bleeding Kansas." The locally relevant actions were the Pottawatomie Massacre, the murder of five pro-slavery men on May 24-25, likely by John Brown and sons. In August, Missouri militia marched on Osawatomie where they met Brown's force at the Battle of Osawatomie. Most of Osawatomie was sacked and burned that day, but the Adair cabin survived.
In addition to the woes of Bleeding Kansas, day-to-day life in Kansas Territory was not easy for the Reverend Adair and his wife in their 18 by 20-foot log cabin, but they accepted the hardships in the name of their abolitionist cause (McFarland 1985). While Samuel was busy building a meetinghouse (which still stands) and a congregation, Florella kept house and took in sewing and laundry—something that would have been unthinkable for a preacher's wife in Ohio. The Adair cabin served as refuge for John's Brown's sons after the Pottawatomie Massacre, as a center for abolitionist planning, and might have been a stop on the Underground Railroad. After the Adair cabin was moved to its current location, a stone structure was built around it in 1928. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 and is operated in partnership with the City of Osawatomie.
After Brown's departure from Kansas in December 1858, the Adairs remained in Osawatomie and became successful farmers in Miami County. The frame house at 14MM327 was built in 1903 by Charles Adair, Samuel and Florella's eldest child. The John Brown Foundation recently acquired the property and invited the KSHS and the KAA to investigate the original location of the Adair cabin for evidence of everyday life and abolitionist activities during Bleeding Kansas times.

The Top 10 Cantilever Chairs
Designers Kristen McGinnis and Jamie Drake spring into action, sizing up these stylish variations on a contemporary classic
By Tim McKeough
The Experts
Compared with other modes of seating, the cantilever chair is a recent invention. Less than 100 years old, the floating chair without rear legs was an obsession among early modernists. Although credit for the first cantilever chair is subject to debate, a handful of leading architects in 1920s GermanyMart Stam, Marcel Breuer, and Ludwig Mies van der Roheproduced examples that are now classics. Today, designers are pushing the piece forward with new materials and technology.
"They're both modernist and contemporary," says designer Jamie Drake. "They can even veer toward the space-agethey look as if they're about to take off." But the feeling of sitting in one, he adds, is decidedly down-to-earth. "A little bounce is a wonderful thing," he says. Designer Kristen McGinnis agrees: "A cantilever is all about ease and comfort." She notes that most are simple to move around, making them useful additions to kitchens, home offices, and other functional rooms.
The Manhattan designer is known for his use of color and high-profile clients. His newest products include a collection for Boyd Lighting and bath accessories for Labrazel. drakedesignassociates.com

Mark Ruffalo: We Can Go Gracefully Into a Green Future, Or We Can Go Kicking and Screaming, But There Is No Choice
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
The following is from Sabrina Artel's Trailer Talk: The Frack Talk Marcellus Shale Water Project. Listen to the complete program here.
I've traveled the country with the Trailer Talk BeeLine camper talking to people about fracking. I stopped in Yellow Springs, Ohio over Labor Day to share Trailer Talk's Shale Project and create a Bill of Rights for Water with community members fighting back against the industry landmen knocking on doors throughout the area. I was reminded of the threat to our farms as I drove past acres of farmland with sunflower fields and beehives with No Fracking signs standing fiercely on the road. Heading west I traveled through tornado-flattened Joplin, drought-desperate Oklahoma and Texas, and a dismantled Route 66, recognizing the desperate economic situation this country is in and how enticing drilling can seem to those barely scraping by.
I've driven to Buffalo through New York's Finger Lakes, which are slated for fracking. I passed thousands of acres of farmland with pro and con drilling signs in their fields. I've tossed and turned at night, marched, spoken about and researched the situation, as I try to grasp this infiltration taking place on my hometown soil. As the anti-fracking community in the Sullivan County Catskills battles fiercely and volunteer groups have formed and evolved over the last three and a half years, the culmination of this pushback is resting on the just-released final draft of the SGEIS environmental review from the Department of Environmental Decision (DEC). The DEC has plans to hold public hearings sometime in November and the contested public comment period is open through December 12. Scientists are signing petitions to New York governor Cuomo demanding further studies and scientific data to prove the safety of fracking before another state is victimized.
Farming is central to this battle. Farmhearts, a new non-profit organization formed in the Catskills, recognizes that in the face of drilling, farmland will change its land use from agricultural to industrial, destroying not only a vital American tradition but something we rely on to live sustainable lives in our towns. Actor Mark Ruffalo, a resident of Sullivan County, New York and the founder of Farmhearts, joined me for a conversation about the organization's mission, farming, water and fracking.
Sabrina Artel: I'm in Callicoon, New York, at the Callicoon Youth Center. This is "Haystock," a benefit for Farmhearts. Mark Ruffalo, actor, director, environmental advocate, and Catskill, New York, resident, joins me at the kitchen table of "Trailer Talk" to talk about Farmhearts, a nonprofit farm advocacy organization he helped found whose mission is to help local family farms by lending assistance in grants, helping to bring added value to a farm's existing products, offering grassroots and Internet support, and opening the door to the next generation of young farmers. They are committed to lending a hand to the hands that feed us, and their mission is to help local family farms survive and thrive.
We talk about home, farming, and what New York is facing with fracking for natural gas. The Department of Environmental Conservation, the DEC, has just released its SGEIS regulations, and environmental groups are pushing for an extended public comment period as the state faces fracking as early as the beginning of 2012. What happens if a community loses its farms and agricultural land?
Mark Ruffalo: My teacher believed in this great George Bernard Shaw quote that she would say repeatedly,"You should have to pay to go to church, and the theater should be free." She really did see the platform as a place where people learned an enormous amount about themselves, about humanity, about a place in the world.

After the high of Japan, Kamui Kobayashi is expecting another "competitive" weekend in Korea while after his lows Sergio Perez wants to make amends...
For all the latest F1 odds on the Korean Grand Prix, round 16 of the 2012 F1 Championship, visit Sky Bet.
Kamui Kobayashi: "Last year Korea was an extremely difficult race, because we were significantly too slow. But this is the past and things are looking much better now. We can build on the momentum we have and, therefore, I'm confident this time we can score points. We have to expect the track to have a low grip level, especially in the beginning, but this will change during the weekend. Once the track is rubbered in some high-speed sections combined with slower corners are fun to drive. I think our car should be competitive on this track."
Sergio Perez: "The track layout in Yeongam is quite challenging. There are some high-speed corners and in general the circuit has quite a variety of corners. Therefore it is not easy to find a good rhythm but this is crucial for a good lap time. In Suzuka our car had a very good pace and I hope we can keep the momentum for the next round in South Korea. However, because we are usually lacking a bit of straight-line speed, it won't be an easy Grand Prix for us. I will give my very best and I definitely want to make the most out of the remaining races I compete in for the Sauber F1 Team."
Giampaolo Dall'Ara, Head of Track Engineering: "The Yeongam circuit is a modern race track which has a bit of everything. The first sector has three straights with two sharp corners in between and also a low-speed section with tight corners at the end. Then the second sector features medium to high-speed corners before going back into a twisty sector three. The tarmac is not abrasive and the allocated Pirelli tyre compounds are soft and super soft, which I think should fit. However, the grip build up is rather slow during this race weekend because there are almost no support races on the programme. With regard to our possibilities, overall it should be an average circuit for us with the first section being the difficult one. The C31 will obviously be running with the new components we introduced in Suzuka but, given it is a back-to-back event, won't have any further updates."

The Growing Appetite for Virtualization
The Tasty Baking Co. is making a major IT overhaul. In the process, innovations in server virtualization and storage consolidation are saving the company considerable dough in energy costs and on many other fronts.
With $250 million in annual revenue and 4.8 million baked goods produced daily, Philadelphia-based Tasty Baking is constantly evaluating the cost, efficiency and effectiveness of its IT enterprise resources. Marketing teams need a strong network in place as they promote the company's more than 100 products, which include the Tastykake line, a fixture in kids' lunchboxes for decades. Warehouse staff needs the technology to track what's coming in and what's going out. And, with about 1,000 employees, the company's HR, finance and other internal departments depend on their computers running well.
A year and a half ago, the company concluded that it could do better business with less hardware through server and storage virtualization and consolidation, which greatly reduces the number of physical devices needed. Using products from NetApp, Tasty Baking's network operations now run on just 10 servers, down from the 40 required previously.
This has resulted in sharply lower energy bills. Infrastructure efficiency has increased, too: Tasty Baking is experiencing up to 70 percent memory use of each of those servers; previously, servers operated on as little as 10 percent capacity. The company is also finding that its IT operations are better able to adapt to the speed of business today.
"At first, I thought, 'OK, we're reducing the amount of hardware in our buildings, and that's good,'" says Brendan O'Malley, vice president and CIO. "But virtualization also has allowed for us to operate in a much more automated environment. In the past, if we needed to change part of our IT architecture, it took forever.
"Now, people can tell IT what they need, and IT can do it much more quickly. For example, if we need to change our customer databases, it can be done in a couple of days, while it used to take six to eight weeks."
Better Performance, Less Energy
More companies are discovering similar results. Essentially, virtualization allows several physical servers to be consolidated into a number of virtual ones that operate out of a single box, resulting in improved performance, less energy use and reduced cooling costs. Multiple single-server machines are replaced by a virtualized server (often a blade server).
More than a dozen servers can be consolidated into one, reducing the amount of space needed to run networks and cutting energy expenses. With virtualization, the location of the server is inconsequential because the technology allows a now-scaled-back primary data center to service many network operations in numerous regions.
Based on power consumption alone, many companies can justify the cost of virtualization and consolidation: U.S. data centers' energy use more than doubled from 2000 to 2006, when it reached $4.5 billion, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Under current conditions, that figure will hit $7.4 billion by 2011.
For every dollar spent on new server hardware in 2007, more than 50 cents was spent on powering and cooling costs, according to IDC, a Framingham, Mass.-based research firm.
"Many organizations now realize that as much as half of the electricity they purchase is going into the data center," says Jim Barclay, CEO of Business Value Consulting Group, a Royalston, Mass.-based firm that evaluates the value of major IT purchases. "Not only is the cost of electricity growing, but it's unpredictable. Business CFOs do not like unpredictable. They'd rather pay too much in the beginning and not face too many surprises along the way."
One way to handle the electricity problem is with virtualization, which also provides speed and flexibility. "Virtualization allows you to bring new virtual servers online in a matter of days, not months," Barclay explains. "Without it, a company with a great product line and an idea can miss a desired market window because its IT can't respond in time. With virtualization, it can meet the early portion of that window."
Server consolidation customers are saving from 25 percent to 45 percent in utility costs alone, according to a 2008 survey of 800 global corporations conducted jointly by research firm Information Technology Intelligence and security software provider Sunbelt Software. And virtualization/consolidation continues to build momentum. Blade servers account for just over 10 percent of servers sold today, IDC reports, but will account for more than one-quarter of all server shipments by 2011.
"Besides being good for the environment, virtualization is a darn good business strategy," says Mark Lutchen, a principal in PricewaterhouseCoopers' advisory practice and author of Managing IT as a Business.
In a recent survey of senior executives in five key regions, PricewaterhouseCoopers found that energy costs are paramount. In fact, 60 percent of the respondents said potential energy savings represent the most important factor in their companies' environmental decision making.
Mergers Lead to IT Consolidation
Over the last decade, corporate consolidation has created the need for server consolidation. Mergers and acquisitions have resulted in decentralized technology scattered throughout the world.
"Now, for a variety of reasons, companies are compelled to standardize and bring these disparate technologies together," Lutchen says. "Why buy a server every time you implement a new system? You'll have 600 servers, and many of them will be used at just 30 percent capacity."
The merger of telecom companies Alcatel and Lucent in late 2006 is a prime example. Even before the merger, the two companies planned data center consolidations. Now operating as Alcatel-Lucent, the company has its consolidation plan well under way. It is using Hewlett-Packard-supplied consultancy services and HP power-saving servers, resulting in the consolidation of 25 data centers and 125 server rooms into six data centers and a very small but still-to-be-determined number of server rooms.
Another HP customer, Mitel Networks, is saving $300,000 a year by reducing its servers from 12 to two and its processors from 24 to 12. And Pfizer is saving considerable but still-to-be-determined costs by reducing data center space by 40 percent, consolidating 220 servers into a dozen.
Alcatel-Lucent is anticipating similar success. Through virtualization and consolidation and the phasing out of legacy applications, the company will cut its server count from 10,000 to 7,000. There have been challenges: Some employees in various departments aren't accustomed to having their designated servers outside their building—much less possibly in another country—and culturally, there's always the resistance to change. Despite these issues, the effort is proving worthwhile. For starters, the company expects server-utilization efficiency to increase to between 60 percent and 70 percent, up from between 10 percent and 30 percent.
"We want to push virtualization as wide and deep as we can," says Cliff Tozier, vice president of infrastructure for Alcatel-Lucent, based in Paris. "We can no longer afford for every application to have its own environment. Virtualization has allowed us to dynamically increase capacity in days or hours. In the past, it would have been weeks or months.
"We also are seeking to be more flexible in meeting business demands because of the tremendous growth we're seeing in video and messaging across the enterprise, and virtualization has allowed us to do this. We can [provide] services on-demand so developers can get quicker access to computing power for projects."
Meeting the Challenge
Despite the many benefits of virtualization and consolidation, there are inherent challenges, including additional costs for training and consulting. For certain, there is a learning curve in adopting these tools.
"You need trained staff that understands the technologies and can manage the transition from today's data center to the virtualized one," says Justin Perreault, general partner with Commonwealth Capital Ventures, a Waltham, Mass., consulting firm. "These skills are still in scarce supply. It's the old problem of trying to replace the engine while you're driving down the road at 60 miles an hour."
Richmond, Va.-based Genworth Financial, a Fortune 500 global financial planning company, recently decided to make the transition now. It was running out of data center space because of server sprawl, and the cost of power and cooling in that space was too costly.
Working with virtualization/consolidation tools from companies such as VMware, HP and Dell, Genworth is now seeing a dramatic increase in productivity: It has reduced its average underwriting cycle time—from when a client application is received to when a policy is issued—from 45 days to 10 days. An added benefit is that the switch hasn't negatively affected network operations or security, and, in some ways, it has benefited those areas.
"With respect to security, the patching, hardening, password and anti-virus procedures are the same for virtual servers as they are for physical servers," says Michael McGarry, Genworth CTO. "Virtualization allows us to build out the environment quicker and enables us to put more servers in smaller spaces than we ever thought possible. It eliminates tape backups for disaster recovery, and individual backups are provided in a much smaller footprint."
Virtualizing the Endpoint
Consider this scenario: A manufacturing executive is caught up in a huge inventory/accounting project that must be finished by the next morning. But 5 p.m. is approaching, and the executive needs to get home to take over parental duties while the exec's spouse heads out for a PTA meeting.
Fortunately, thanks to continued developments in endpoint virtualization technologies, it's easier than ever for the executive to access the needed Excel file and other work-based applications from a laptop at home in order to complete the job on time.
Seeing the value in this and other benefits to endpoint virtualization—which essentially allows applications to be added and integrated within an enterprise with considerably fewer system glitches than ever—more IT decision makers are buying solutions that encompass this technology.
In fact, more than three out of four of the approximately 300 IT administrators who responded to a recent survey said their organizations had already launched some form of endpoint virtualization, according to Symantec, which commissioned the study.
"That response surprises us," says Brad Rowland, director of enterprise marketing for Symantec's endpoint virtualization line. "This technology is just starting to be included in larger solutions. Before, this was made available as a point-by-point solution that had to be managed separately. Now, it's part of a larger platform, and that's leading to broader acceptance."
Here are some additional findings:
• 24 percent of participants said the simplification of operating system and application delivery is the most appealing aspect of endpoint virtualization, while 20 percent said lower IT costs offered the greatest appeal.
• 31 percent reported that their organizations spend at least 21 percent of IT resources on managing incompatibilities between applications on endpoint devices.
• 36 percent said that at least a quarter of their entire 2009 IT budget is earmarked for endpoint virtualization initiatives.
A Virtualization Covenant
At Covenant House Toronto, about 4,000 young people a year can stay for weeks or months at a time. Many of them have left their homes—or moved to Canada from other countries—without a means of support. Here, they can get meals, medical attention, counseling and even vocational training.
Like any organization with 200 employees, Covenant House has concerns about keeping its data protected and accessible 24/7. For example, fundraising accounts for 80 percent of its budget, and data related to that effort is maintained on the network. That's why it recently completed a major storage virtualization project using DataCore Software's SANmelody as implemented by DataCore partner Interware Systems.
As a result, Covenant House has more than doubled its available storage capacity, while reducing the number of physical servers from 10 to three using VMware. At the same time, the organization has increased its ability to safeguard its data from disruptions and disasters, and it has reduced the amount of power needed to keep enterprise operations running.
"This assures that we reach our goal of 99.99 percent availability for our users 24/7," says Wendy Craig, who oversees information systems. "It allows us to manage our infrastructure much more easily, too. Before, it could be difficult to oversee a bunch of physical servers with storage spread all around, especially when the servers break down. Now, because our server and storage management is centralized in one location, we can deal with all problems from the IT manager's desk, without needing to take down the entire system."
After deciding on a virtualization solution, Covenant House centralized data at a downtown Toronto location, replicated a copy of that data and stored it at a co-location facility a few kilometers away. Data related to everything from the latest fundraising figures to day-to-day e-mail exchanges is replicated every night at the co-location facility. Moreover, DataCore optimized the organization's existing storage assets by addressing the problem of having some application servers over-allocated with storage, while others were underserved.
Next up: a desktop virtualization project using virtualized server technology that will allow traditional desktops to be replaced with thin-client hardware, saving a projected 97 percent in energy bills.
"It's all part of our green computing perspective," Craig says. "We can be just as productive and save a lot of money with this technology."

Fritz Brandtner
Canadian (born in Germany), 1896–1969
Abstract, c. 1930
ink on paper
38.7 x 44.2 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery
Fritz Brandtner emigrated from Germany to Winnipeg in 1928. Working as a commercial artist, he introduced many Canadian painters to German Expressionism, a movement that arose during World War I and which regarded art as a vehicle for emotional outpouring. Apart from a few colleagues, Brandtner found the Winnipeg community largely unsympathetic to the movement. In 1934 he moved to Montreal where he exhibited and taught art, most notably to children. His circle of friends included artists like John Lyman and Philip Surrey, as well as the well-known physician Norman Bethune. Brandtner was a prolific artist who vacillated between figurative and abstract approaches. The WAG drawing is a work of early innovation that, despite its diminutive scale, foreshadows the rise of gestural abstraction two decades later.

Visit the Smithsonian's African Art Museum.
The East African savanna, a dry tropical grassland, is home to a rich array of spectacular animals. Predators like lions and cheetahs prey on grazing and browsing animals like zebras and gazelles. Stately birds like kori bustards stalk smaller prey while rarely seen naked mole-rats inhabit burrows on the savanna. You can see these species and more without traveling to Africa. Just come to the Zoo or take a virtual visit.
Animals from many parts of Africa make their home at the Zoo. The Zoo's Cheetah Conservation Station is home to Grevy's zebras, scimitar-horned oryx, dama gazelles, cheetahs, and other animals.
Africa's Sahel grassland, home to endangered scimitar-horned oryx and many other rare species, merges into the Sahara desert to the north and the savanna to the south. Mostly dry grasslands also cover southern Africa, home to cheetahs, Cape buffalo, black rhinos, and kori bustards also found in East Africa. Zoo scientists are working in all of these areas to help conserve the incredible biodiversity of Africa's grasslands.
North America's grasslands were once home to abundant black-footed ferrets, bison, and prairie dogs. On South America's plains, seriemas and maned wolves stalk prey. Parts of Asia, such as Mongolia, home of Bactrian camels, Mongolian gazelles, and Przewalski's horses, are covered with grasslands.

The NRA and politico State Sen. Steve King's plan to place a uniformed police officer in every school to prevent another senseless mass killing is yet another foolish knee-jerk reaction doomed to failure. Click on Wikipedia and read the minute-by-minute history of the Columbine High School massacre. Noteworthy is the fact that a uniformed Jefferson County school resource officer was eating his lunch in a squad car and the first to see the killers crossing the parking lot with their bombs and weapons.
After a brief exchange of shots, he called for back-up and within 5 minutes two other deputies were there who also exchanged rounds with the killers. In the end the killers entered the school and went about the slaughter undeterred by the cops who waited outside for the SWAT teams.
The true answer to this oft-repeated school shooting problem is to arm all children 8 years and older after proper NRA training classes. The idea of making all teachers pack heat is shortsighted and inadequate. With fully armed students, the deterrent factor to another psycho massacre (and an end to the issue of bullying) will be resolved.
Another plus to this proposal is a boom in small handgun sales and child-sized gun fanny packs..... all in all a win-win for the Second Amendment and the American way.

Bust Tie Romper 6 6
I think this romper is a trendy cute I like it. Sexy yet simple. I had to go one size up because the romper in my normal size (Medium) was a little too tight around my bum but even going one size up didn't make the fit look ackwardly loose because the back lace straps allow you to tie as loose or tight as you need to achieve the fit you want. March 3, 2014
WOW! I was so happy to find this on sale and in my size (S!) and just received it in the mail the other day. WOW--very sexy, very comfortable, super hot! The top is a tiny bit big on me (I'm 34C, size 2) but I wouldn't go smaller cause it fits so beautiful everywhere else. I was actually surprised at how comfortable it is too. This was something of a risk for me to buy this style cause its very sexy, but it's so well made and feels so good on that I have to keep it for those special nights out! Get it while you can! February 13, 2014
It's great it has nice fitting Nice fitting, I am waiting to wear it on a night out with my girl friends. August 15, 2013
This product is very sexy Am so in love with my romper I thought it would have been small because I normally have to get an extra large but the fit is perfect so happy that I chanced it, the lace back is very sexy can't wait to wear it this weekend August 12, 2013
Sexy fit Love the lacy feel! Can dress it up or down great for most formal events especially if u have the legs and curvaceous body August 10, 2013
A must Jumper Once you try this jumper on, you are not going to want to take it off. It is a must have for your after 5pm fun. You can even wear it out on the town too. Very sexy and form fitting. July 30, 2013

- NE Argentinien (1) (remove)
- The Use of Biomarker and Stable Isotope Analyses in Palaeopedology / Reconstruction of Middle and Late Quaternary Environmental and Climate History, with examples from Mt. Kilimanjaro, NE Siberia and NE Argentina (2006)
- Palaeosols are important terrestrial archives for the reconstruction of the Quaternary landscape and climate history. In order to derive reliable information from these archives about sedimentation, vegetation and climate history, various methods and proxies are traditionally applied, e.g. texture analysis, numeric dating methods and mineral analysis. The aim of this dissertation is to evaluate the potential of biomarker and stable isotope analyzes. Specifically, I focused on plant leaf wax-derived n-alkanes, amino acid enantiomers, stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes (d13C and d15N) in bulk soil organic matter (SOM) and on compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) of n-alkanes. The respective methods were partly optimized and then applied in multi-proxy analytical approaches to three selected palaeosol records, representing different ecological environments. In all three study areas, long-chain n-alkane ratios, nC31/nC27 and (nC31+nC29)/nC27, respectively, proved to be straightforward biomarker proxies for the reconstruction of the terrestrial palaeovegetation at plant community level (especially grasses and herbs versus trees). Short- and mid-chain n-alkanes (nC17–nC19 and nC20–nC25, respectively) were successfully used for detecting algal- and aquatic macrophyte-derived organic matter (OM) in the sediment core Arg. D4. Amino acid enantiomers as nitrogen (N) biomarkers allowed a further characterization of the SOM in the Tumara Palaeosol Sequence: On the one hand, the depth functions of D/L-aspartic acid (Asp) and D/L-lysine (Lys) could be roughly described by exponential fits, reflecting SOM aging. On the other hand, brown interglacial/-stadial palaeosols generally revealed higher D/L-ratios than dark gray glacial palaeosols. This finding suggests that D/L-aspartic acid and D/L-lysine may serve as palaeotemperature proxies. In the Arg. D4 record, d13C varied in a wide range (from -30.1‰ to -17.4‰), indicating C3-C4 vegetation changes and hence allowing a reconstruction of the palaeovegetation. However, the natural abundance of 13C was no straightforward proxy for the interpretation of the palaeosol sequences on Mt. Kilimanjaro and in the Tumara Valley. There, the interpretation of smaller d13C variations – assumed to be independent of C3-C4 vegetation changes – needed multi-proxy analytical approaches for disentangling the various possibly influencing environmental factors: On Mt. Kilimanjaro, d13C is higher in palaeosols, which developed under ericaceous vegetation (~ -25‰) compared to those developed under tropical montane forests (~ -27‰), suggesting that such vegetation changes are responsible for the observed d13C pattern. In the Tumara Palaeosol Sequence, d13C correlates negatively with total organic carbon (TOC) and TOC/N. As both parameters may serve as proxies for SOM decomposition, it is assumed that degradation processes have contributed significantly to this d13C record. Furthermore, also changing water stress conditions for the plants could have played a crucial role for d13C in the Tumara Palaeosol Sequence. In contrast to d13C, d15N in the Tumara Palaeosol Sequence does not correlate with any of the other SOM characterizing parameters (TOC, TOC/N and d13C). Although other processes than SOM decomposition like (i) denitrification, (ii) N fixation, (iii) N losses by frequent fire events, and (iv) changes in the atmospheric 15N deposition are discussed as factors contributing to an open N cycle, d15N in the Tumara Palaeosol Sequence seems not to be a straightforward proxy. The compound-specific d13C analysis (CSIA) of n-alkanes was optimized and applied to selected samples from the Arg. D4 record. The highly significant correlations of the compound-specific isotope results with bulk d13C corroborate the reliability of the d13C vegetation proxy. Furthermore, the increasing d13C amplitudes from nC27 to nC33 validate the origin of these biomarker molecules, with nC27 and nC29 mainly deriving from C3 trees and shrubs and nC31 and nC33 mainly deriving from C3 or C4 grasses and herbs. Eventually, the multi-proxy analytical approaches (including the innovative biomarker and stable isotope analyzes) enabled detailed reconstructions of the Middle and Late Quaternary palaeoenvironmental changes in the three study areas: Accordingly, the deep black palaeosols on the southern slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro reflect periods of climatic deterioration during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and the Late Glacial, which coincided with a descent of the ericaceous vegetation belt. The palaeopedologic findings from the Tumara Palaeosol Sequence suggest that the dark gray and brown stratigraphic units of this record describe alternating glacial and interglacial/-stadial periods during the last ~240 ka. The stratigraphic units of the Arg. D4 record were correlated with climatic events on the Bolivian Altiplano and discussed in terms of an intensified palaeo-South American Summer Monsoon (SASM).

Pickens County bookkeeper arrested on tax charges
The owner of a Pickens County bookkeeping service was arrested by a South Carolina Department of Revenue investigator today and charged with submitting false tax returns to the agency.
Michael Wayne Wyatt, owner of Zaccheus Services in Clemson, was charged with three counts of assisting in the preparation of false tax returns. Wyatt is being held at the Pickens County Detention Center pending a bond hearing.
Wyatt is accused of keeping state sales and use tax collections for his personal use while his firm was employed by a local Anderson restaurant from 2003 – 2005. Wyatt's bookkeeping business was employed by the restaurant to prepare and remit their sales and use tax returns.
For the three-year period he is charged, Wyatt is accused of underreporting the restaurant's business sales by $1,681,609 and diverting the $84,349 in sales tax collections on that amount for his personal use.
Wyatt is facing up to 15 years in prison and fines of up to $1,500 if convicted of all the charges. The Pickens County Sheriff's Department assisted the Department of Revenue in Wyatt's arrest.
(Editor's note: DOR arrest warrants show in 2003, Wyatt reported gross sales for the restaurant at $610,664 for the year when actual sales were $1,132,290. Wyatt is charged with diverting $26,081 in sales tax on the underreported amount to his personal use.
In 2004, Wyatt is accused of reporting restaurant gross sales of $470,805 when actual sales were $1,013,741. He is accused of diverting $27,416 in sales tax on the underreported amount to his personal use.
In 2005, Wyatt reported restaurant gross sales of $486,190 when actual sales were $1,103,237, diverting $30,852 in sales tax on the underreported amount to his personal use.)

And found myself taking pictures of all these tarts and petit fours.
Such endless variety...
This isn't even all of them!
I didn't include their description tags or titles...
It's like going to the museum and reading all the info about the artist rather than looking at the paintings.
Too much left-brain activity and not enough right-brain sensory involvement.
I'm amazed at all these designs, patterns and colors even before I think about what waits within... What an artist! Just something for you to chew on over the weekend :)ENJOY!

Plans to open a new charter school in Utica are moving forward. Despite some protest, the Utica Academy of Science had its application granted and they plan to open in the fall. Our Andrew Sorensen takes a look at their parent school in Syracuse and tells us what they hope to accomplish with their new school.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- You could say Syracuse Academy of Science Charter School Director Tolga Hayali is firm.
"We believe in no excuses," he said.
But he's got a firm mandate: Get over 90 percent of their inner-city students to graduate with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering and math, also known as STEM. "They wanted to create this school, a little model that will focus on those areas," he explained.
It's a model they hope to copy when they open the Utica Academy of Science this fall. SASCS Dean of Academics Linda Spencer said, "Every beginning is rocky and it gets better and better and better every year. It has here."
But what should parents expect as it gets better? First off: College prep.
"The first question we ask to anybody who enters to this school, who wants to come or bring their kids in is, 'Where are you going to go to college?'" Hayali said.
Spencer said you'll have the same regulations as a public school, "But we can approach it differently, our teachers can be creative, they can think outside the box and they do."
Teachers here say the individualized attention is also a big draw. "Some of my 11th grade kids I have now, I had them in seventh grade. And so I get to see them progress all the way up," said math teacher Jeff Clark.
Then there's what they're learning. They're so heavy on the STEM angle, their sports mascot is even an atom, but you can expect a lot more than sports to make the extracurricular list.
"You have to come on Saturdays, you have to work on the spring break, winter break, you have to work longer days," Hayali said.
They also have kids pursuing other fields, but Hayali said in this modern world, the extra work is the only thing that will cut it.
"If you have a magic pill, just let me know, I'd like to use it, but there is (none), there's only hard work and you have to go the extra mile," he said.
They're still looking for a building for the Utica School, but they are taking applications for grades six through nine in their bold venture.
The charter school has faced criticism from the Utica City School District for drawing away state funding, but the school notes they only use about two-thirds the public school dollar amount per pupil.

quilted fanny pack
by CLARE V.
While working in French television, Clare Vivier began making bags as a result of her busy travel schedule. She discovered a gap in the market for laptop cases that were functional yet stylish, inspiring her to create her own bag. The concept quickly parlayed into her now eponymous line of handbags and clutches that are as stylish as they are utilitarian. She attributes her sense of chic simplicity to her strong connection with France. Clare's design principle is timeless but her aesthetic is bold, always taking into consideration the elegant tension between modern detail and classic shapes.Back To Product View All From This Designer
