Golf Cart Portable Seat Cover Blanket
The golf cart seat blanket that keeps you warm in the winter and free of sweat germs in the summer. Never stick to a slimy golf cart seat again! Portable so you can take it with you when you play golf. The picture to the right is the seat cover in beige microfiber with the storage bag handing on the arm rest.
--Available in two fabrics: a double sided plush non-pilling (meaning it does not ball up) fleece or low pile microfiber. The microfiber fabric is much softer than terry cloth. The fleece is a thicker and more plush fabric.
--An ideal golf cart bench blanket that stays firmly in place
--A universal fit on all golf carts.
--A perfect gift for ladies golf association members and for course tournament prizes or gift bag favors.
--The blanket hangs down 6" to also protect the top of your legs.
--Dimensions are 41" length between the velcro openings, total length 53" and 26" width.
--Velcro side openings slide easily over the hip guards/arm rests.
--Machine washable in cool water and toss in low heat dryer. The materials do not shrink.
--Moisture dries quickly from the fabric. Water tends to bead up and can be whisked away.
--Special feature. The seat bottom includes a pocket with a Velcro closure to keep your cell phone, keys, or other small items.
--The microfiber comes in five colors: black, tan, pink, lime green, or turquoise blue. The fleece comes in black or tan. See the colors below.
--Comes in a light weight nylon draw string bag for easy transportation and storage. The bag can be attached to your golf bag.
The seat blanket can be custom embroidered. You can choose your wording up to 20 characters, thread color, and a bold or script font. The letter size for 1-3 letters is up to 4" in height; for 4-20 letters, the height size is up to 2". We can work with custom logos if you have a digital file. A one time set up charge will apply for logo orders.
Below is an embroidered seat in black fleece in the standard 2" font height.
Below are the five seat cover colors.
" I love the cover. Here in the Northeast during the summer the golf cart seats are very sticky, etc. when skin comes in contact. I have enjoyed the cover immensely and look forward to hopefully a few years of comfort." Mary Ann M., North Kingstown, RI, September, 2014.
"I bought the seat blanket for my friend, and she is absolutely thrilled with it. The microfiber is so soft." Kathy T., Tarpon Springs, FL, August, 2014.
Seat Covers - Sunbrella
If you are interested in a rear seat cover set, this would be a special order. You may use the box below to give us dimensions for a matching rear seat cover set when ordered with a front seat cover set or please call Customer Service at 727-487-6615 if you only want the rear seat covers. Since there are many styles of golf cart back seats from different manufacturers, we would need to know your golf cart rear seat length, width, and depth dimensions and the style and measurements of the seat back. Please call us and we can send a templete you can use to record your measurements. An extra $50 is charged for these custom golf cart rear seat cover sets.
Please note that our seat covers are made out of the heavier awning fabric. If you want to match an enclosure, you would need to choose an awning fabric color.

--The seat bottom dimensions are 42" length and 21" width. Includes two Velcro straps to secure the underneath of the bottom seat.
--Machine washable in cool water and toss dry in low heat. The fabric does not shrink.

--Comes in black or tan.
--Slips on over existing seat covers. Easy to take on and off. Secured tight with an elastic cord at the bottom hem. Velcro straps are attached as noted above.
--Comes in a light weight nylon draw string bag for easy transportation and storage. The bag can be attached to your golf bag.
The seat covers can be custom embroidered either on the back or seat bottom. You can choose 3 letters (+$20) or 4-15 letters (+$30) in your choice of thread color, size up to 4", and bold or script font. We can work with custom logos if you have a digital file. A one time set up charge will apply for logo orders. Please call Customer Service if you are interested.
Golf Cart Seat Covers - Camouflage Cordura/vinyl
A set of golf cart seat covers in the camouflage pattern including a bottom cover and one or two seat backs designed for specific models of Club Car, E-Z-GO, and Yamaha golf carts.
--These golf cart seat covers are made out of Cordura fabric. This fabric is waterproof, tough, durable, and pliable. It is similar to a canvas fabric.
NEW. We can now do the the camo pattern in PINK! See the Mossy Oak Break Up with a pink background.
The camo seat covers do not fit on a Club Car Precedent or a Yamaha Drive. The camo cordura fabric does not have enough stretch to be pulled down into the deep seat back dip of these carts. Therefore, we offer a two-tone seat cover set in black vinyl with camo. This combination can be made for all makes and models. Below are the camo covers on a Club Car Precedent. Please note, this cart has matching rear seat covers, back arm rests and a camo top cover. For the Precedent or Drive, you would choose the black with camo as offered below so that the black vinyl is the in the center. For all other carts you can also choose the camo with black (or other vinyl color, call Customer Service for variations) that places the camo fabric on the outside and in the center.
Please allow 2 weeks to ship. Also, the seat covers are not returnable unless there is an issue of workmanship.
Made in the USA.

Empowering Women: A Labor Rights-Based Approach: Case Studies from East African Horticultural Farms

This article discusses the hitherto little-studied question of women workers' empowerment through access to labor rights in the east African export horticultural sector. It is based on the work carried out by Women Working Worldwide and its east African partners, drawing on primary research on cut-flower farms in Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Uganda. The focus in discussions of women's empowerment has tended to be on individual actors rather than collective strategies. We argue that strategies such as action research, education, organization and advocacy focusing on labor rights are effective in gendered empowerment and can bring positive change to women's working lives on African farms, and beyond.

This is an mazing book. In its introduction from Prof Babubhai D. Desai, I quote
Too aik tha, mere ashaar se hazar huwa,
Ujala aik diye se katar-dar katar huwa.
You were a lone fighter,
my writtings have opened the battles,
One small candle has lighen,
the rows and rows of candles.
Amen! May God protect you!
I met Zehrabai cyclewala in Surat recently. She is a lone reformists surrounded by othordox bohris. But, the tides have changed. No more is Zehrabai afraid or threatened by the Kothar, but the reverse is true. Zehrabai has a lot of following and police respect for her outstanding work for battered women in Gujarat. Kothar have tried every thing in their power to put her in her place, nothing doing -they are now trying to buy her.
One single Zehra can do all that. All you fencers, may god bless you where you are now - every one of you will have to answer. Why did you take all this bull? For what? For your convinience and your skin!

Comments about GARMIN Vivofit Activity Band:
This is a really solid device to keep track of steps and calories burned. It also works 24/7 so you never take it off. I was skeptical about wearing a watch-type device but after not wearing a watch for years it is a great fit and not bothersome at all. The only drawback is that it does not count steps while pushing a grocery/shopping cart. I believe that it senses the bounce or impact of your steps and the stability of the cart negates that motion. My simple solution to that is putting it into your pocket. It may not be 100% accurate but it is pretty close. I also do that while at CrossFit if I use wrist wraps or feel like the watch will hinder the prescribed movements of the day.
The mobile app for iPhone works very well too and I highly suggest setting that up if you have a smartphone.

Often, when we intend to teach, we also learn. That has been the experience of those involved in the YMCA's Community Garden.
This community outreach project has turned into a significant source of fresh produce to area food pantries and children served by YMCA programs. It has also been a rewarding collaboration, a meaningful volunteer opportunity and a hands-on learning tool.
It began in 2010 when the YMCA received a grant to create a community garden. YMCA leaders connected with Dan Goulet, a recently retired University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point professor, who is as meticulous about building structures and recording details as he is passionate about gardening.

Better than my old pot!" by Ms MDermott
Lagostina Stove Top Espresso Maker
I bought this on impulse to replace my old pot and it is even better. It is very safe and easy to use as well as being very good looking(trust the Italians). It also makes the most superb espresso. Forget about the fancy electric machines, this is perfect.
Disappointed" by Alison
Lagostina Stove Top Espresso Maker
I chose the Lagostina as a birthday present. It arrived very quickly and I liked its looks and performance. However, in a very short space of time, the base has become discoloured and has coffee stains on it which can't be removed. In my attempts to get them off, I have spoilt the shiny surface. Unfortunately, won't be leaving this out on the worktop and will not recommend.
A note from the team: We're sorry that the espresso maker hasn't met expectations, and we'll be in touch shortly about this.

American Arts & Crafts Ring
SOLDItem 11126
Most of us are familiar with such pioneer furniture makers as Gustav Stickley. As part of the Arts & Crafts movement, he and many others in the decorative arts championed in America this shift in styles and techniques. Arts & Crafts was hailed as a reaction against mass produced, machined goods of adornment. This took place in the mid to later 19th century for the decorative arts with a goal of hand crafted goods, simpler materials and naturalistic but abstract designs.
Here is a fine example of American Arts & Crafts jewelry in a bloodstone and yellow 14k gold ring. A single polished oval of bloodstone is spattered with brick red flecks of color within a field of the deepest forest green. Its chased sides are worked with an evocative winged form, abstract and pared down. The shank or band is simple, rounded and polished. For a man or woman, the design is strong and sleek.
Condition: Excellent condition; light wear overall as commensurate with age and use. Stone is near mint.
Hallmarks: 14k
Measurements: Stone is 7/16 of an inch (1.15 cm) by 3/8 of an inch (0.9 cm) and is more than ½ of an inch (1.3 cm) high north to south. The stone rises 3/16 of an inch (0.5 cm) off the finger. The width of the band at the back is 1/8 of an inch (0.3 cm). This antique ring has a weight of 7.8 grams. Currently a size US 9 (UK R-1/2; Euro 19; 60 mm) but easily sized.
Date & Origin: Circa 1900 – 1910; American in origin.

Some of us dream of flying through the sky Superman-style, but not many actually put on a pair of wings and try because we'd probably die. Espen Fadnes is one of a rare breed of base jumpers that go the extra mile to experience the world in a way most of us can't imagine.
After meticulous planning he climbs a mountain, puts on his gear - including wing suit and parachute - and steps off the top into the air, the world whizzing past him at 200 kmph, he's not dropping, he's soaring, like a jet plane. View photos.
Listen to him share his high adrenaline experiences and enlighten us on the joy of flying.
The Marwar desert in India's Rajasthan region isn't exactly what you'd call a hospitable environment.
It's rocky and bare and has suffered years of erosion, and until recently was overrun with a rampant shrub - Prosopis juliflora - which locals call 'the mad one', because it's almost impossible to get rid of.
But that didn't prevent botanist Pradip Krishen from trying to wipe it out to create Rao Jodha Desert Park - a feat that wasn't exactly straightforward. Seven years after he started he has almost succeeded. View photos.
Sometimes going the extra mile involves rolling up those sleeves, toughing it out, and trekking off into the unknown. And sometimes you can do it with the click of a mouse. It's now possible to hike some of America's most spectacular national parks without even leaving the comfort of your own home. View photos.

The entire IT world is abuzz with talk of Cisco's Unified Computing System (UCS). I pointed out a few of the various UCS announcements in this earlier post, and now I'd like to just expand a little bit upon the solution.
UCS essentially consists of 4 major components:
- The UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect devices, running Cisco UCS Manager
- The UCS 2100 Series Fabric Extender, with up to 2 of them running in each chassis
- The UCS B-Series blades, either half-width (8 blades per chassis) or full-width (4 blades per chassis), and up to 40 chassis per system
- UCS network adapters supporting DCE/CEE/DCB and FCoE, apparently coming in three different flavors (efficiency/performance, compatibility, and virtualization)
This diagram shows an overview of UCS:
With the exception of the UCS Manager software and the Converged Network Adapters (CNAs), everything else is pretty standard stuff:
- The UCS 6100 is essentially a Nexus 5000, but with the ability to run the UCS Manager software.
- The UCS 2100 is essentially the same as the Nexus 2000 Fabric Extender (FEX), but in a form factor that is intended to plug into the UCS chassis.
- The B-Series blades are industry standard blades running Intel Nehalem CPUs, standard hot-plug hard drives, and 10Gb CNAs.
The CNAs appear to be one area in which there may be some innovation. In particular, the virtualization-optimized CNA appears to extend some new functionality into the virtualization layer itself, although it's currently unclear exactly how, or how the virtualization layer will leverage that functionality. It sounds like SR-IOV to me, but others are indicating that it's an offshoot of Intel's VT-d technology. Speaking specifically with regard to VMware ESX/ESXi, I would guess that this will need to be combined with VMDirectPath, as it appears to replace the need for the vSwitch within the ESX/ESXi host. Personally, I'd rather not replace the vSwitch and instead allow the UCS 6100 and/or UCS Manager to manage Nexus 1000V VEMs on the ESX/ESXi hosts instead. This will truly bring unification without adding complexity.
The real wildcard here is UCS Manager. Although the Cisco webcast spoke frequently of the "open APIs" and "XML APIs" that other partners can leverage, but nothing substantial or significant was released regarding UCS Manager. Lots of questions have yet to be answered, but the one that really jumps out at me is this one:
How will an organization need to organize their storage in order to take advantage of UCS?
I'm guessing here that organizations will need to do boot-from-SAN in order to gain the true flexiblity and agility that UCS is supposed to provide. In that case, what Cisco is supplying is not that dramatically different from a multi-vendor solution that utilizes something like Scalent to provide automation. Of course, Cisco's solution is from a single vendor and is supposedly more integrated.
So, there are my initial thoughts. What about you?

Much adieu about nothing to me. I also think it'll be done before it's gotten off the ground if they're really tying themselves as tightly to EMC as EMC claims.
Also, I'm on the same page as you… they've essentially told us nothing so far. What will make or break this is the software, which we haven't so much as seen a screenshot of. If the software sucks, this will be no better, and possibly worse, than sourcing from multiple vendors.
Scott – the adapter virtualization isn't based on SR-IOV (or MR-IOV), but instead is the untold story here, IMHO.
The network adapters have their own discrete roadmap over the next few months (and all need to consider that Cisco couldn't say everything before the official Nehalem launch also gang). The initial shipping adapters don't have Cisco's full sauce, the followon (very close) Palo adapters do. It's extensions to the ethernet frame standard (being submitted to the standards bodies)
When I was first disclosed on this about a year ago the VN-Link idea – the funny thing was the design point was the UCS design – the ability to have NO distributed switch in the vmkernel, but carry the vnic MACs external to the hypervisor per se. As a side effect, the bonus was that you could p-to-v a Nexus and get the N1Kv (instead of using VN-link to carry the virtual MAC to an external switch, it goes to a VM). Of course, everyone was so pumped about the N1Kv (which is very cool), that generally people missed the other design point.
That describes the "adapter virtualization" for the ethernet stack, there's similar stuff for the FC part of the FCoE equation.
Re closeness with EMC, speaking with some authority here Tim – we are VERY close on this – but I am making no implications of exclusivity (and I don't think anyone is – or should be).
The Cisco crew aren't tightly linked with any one party in the whole stack – we are dead serious about "openness and choice" in this effort (no one wants things that limit choice). Just like our efforts with VMware in general, EMC must win on our own merits. What I can say is that there is a geniune shared vision of all three companies, and that our resource investments and focus are… substantial. There's also a certain element of this which is non-technological.
The non-technological point is that virtualization as a whole – and UCS is a manifestation of this – crosses functional organizational boundaries of application/OS/server/network/storage.
We're increasingly finding these are CIO-level discussions (actually was asked almost this exact way by during the exec/analyst call), and Cisco, VMware, EMC – along with HP, IBM and Microsoft, but few others operate in the technical realm, but are strategic vendors for the largest customers.
In the mid-market – there aren't the same organizational boundaries (for better and for worse)
And since a bunch of 3 incoherent comment posts aren't enough While more customers choose EMC for their storage than anyone else, and our share continues to grow, with strong margins (aka we must be doing SOMETHING right – even if you aren't an EMC storage customer or an EMC fan in general, there's also another dimension.
As Ed Bugnion and I (along with Scott Davis from VMware) covered at VMworld in Cannes here (see about mid-way through TP03). The recorded session is here: http://virtualgeek.typepad.com/virtual_geek/2009/03/vmworld-europe-2009-emc-post-show-report.html
Take a look at that session today based on today's announcement. You'll see this is far more than a server announcement, it's about a lot more than 10GbE and FCoE. Ed also does an interesting thing halfway though as he points out that our partnership isn't the simple model people think of on the surface. Cisco uses RSA and EMC Smarts (as an OEM), Cisco and EMC have embedded code in the vmkernel of the vSphere release, VMware is used extenisvely all over the stack (including Cisco and EMC VM appliances).
Every customer needs to make their own choice – but the depth of integration is substantial – more than just Paul and Joe being part of the launch webcast.
You're absolutely right on the storage side. That's the biggest and most complex component in the Enterprose Datacenter today, that Cisco didn't include in their UCS offering as a component to make it truly Unified.
The same solution one can (with or without help of System Integrator) achieve today by using components. Their software can make some difference, but it's still a question.
Trying to be more coherent, less rambly here in the morning – from my exposure to it, VN-Link is an extension to ethernet that extends the ethernet frames from the VM itself via the extender to the 6100. Palo is an SR-IOV adapter that allows for a large number (128 was the spec I saw) multiple virtual interfaces (which is particularly important for the FC side of FCoE).
We've got a bunch of UCS systems – they've been in elab for a while – I'll check it out and double confirm.
VN-Link is an umbrella Cisco marketing term that describes granular per virtual machine visibility and policy control. VN-Link can be accomplished in two ways, 1) via software with Nexus 1000V, 2) via Hardware with VN-Tags and SR-IOV.
So, VN-Link is not different than VN-Tag — rather, VN-Tag is one way to achieve "VN-Link".
With Cisco UCS and the Palo adapter, you will be able to achieve "Hypervisor Bypass" (VM Direct Path), where the VM writes directly to its SR-IOV slice of the adapter. The adapter then applies a VN-Tag to uniquely identify the "virtual NIC" the traffic belongs to — VN-Tag acts like a virtual patch cable running from the SR-IOV adapter to the UCS 6100 fabric switch. At this point the virtual machine is managed as if it is connected directly to the UCS 6100 fabric switch.
Another advantage is much better network I/O performance for virtual machines, more like bare metal. The hypervisor is no longer context switching the data from a vNIC buffer to the adapter buffers, reducing latencies, and improving throughput. Furthermore, given the hypervisor CPU is freed from network I/O responsibilities, you can give back precious CPU cycles for hosting more virtual machines.
Hope this clarifies.
I think it's important to note that in all this discussion of SR-IOV, VN-Tag, VT-c, VT-D (and the rest of the alphabet soup) there is nothing that other vendors can't leverage (assuming VN-Tag is standardized). In fact, HP is already offering an SR-IOV 10 GbE adapter for it's C-class blades and has been doing so for 6 months. So at the end of the day it will come down to who makes this stuff the most transparent to poor sys admins tasked with tying it all together.
Brad – one thing to clarify my SR-IOV comment – SR-IOV is dependent in VMware land to use of VMDirectPath IO (which in gen 1 has significant limits, designed to be lifted in gen2). Cisco has been working with VMware to have a slightly accelerated functional capability here (using the underlying SR-IOV model) prior to VMDirectPath IO gen2.
One aspect that was touched on but is still not clear to me is the compatibility of VMDirectPath and vMotion. VMDirectPath presumably interfaces directly with the native VF (sr-iov virtual function, ie a physical interface). vMotion is possible because ESX was abstracting physical I/O interfaces used by the VM. How is vMotion accomplished if the VM is accessing the native/physical interface directly?

Police: Drunken city worker slams into semi carrying acid
Updated On: Jun 03 2014 06:52:49 PM MDT
Santa Fe police arrested a city worker after they said he crashed into a parked semi truck carrying several drums of hydrochloric acid.
Albert Roybal, 38, was arrested overnight. He has worked in the city's water waste department since 1996.
Police said Roybal was drunk on his birthday when he slammed into a semi truck that was parked on Cerillos Road off-ramp. The truck was carrying 36 55-gallon drums of hydrochloric acid.

Police said he fled from the scene. He was arrested several miles away a few hours later.
When they arrested him, police said there were several open alcohol containers in his car, including one with 99 proof alcohol.
Roybal was arrested and charged with DWI, reckless driving and having an opening container among other charges. Roybal has been charged with DWI before, according to court records -- in 2000 and 2011.
City officials said he may be suspended or fired. They said he does need to drive for his city job.

Usually this time of year I have either gone crazy or am close to going crazy with assignment, practicing and preparing for finals. This year however, I feel calm and on top of things although I do have a paper to write that is due Wednesday, I should probably work on that
Have you ever laughed so hard that you can't move and sometimes end up on the floor? This happens to me occasionally and this last Saturday this became a frequent picture. Two of my friends, Tyler and Kristina, came up to visit on Saturday and all I remember is laughing a lot and having a wonderful day.
We have been getting snow particles the past few days and Saturday was a cold, blustery day. Because of this, or because friends were coming over, I had the desire to make food that would warm up the trailer. I made Pumpkin Lasagna for our lunch, Chocolate Walnut Granola, Homemade Applesauce, and Cinnamon Rolls. The trailer smelled wonderful, was warm, and I was happy
After we ate, and cleaned up, I started to make the cinnamon rolls and chocolate walnut granola while we visited and then watched Across the Universe. I haven't watched this in a while and it was fun to sing along and laugh while we watched.
Being around Kristina is never boring and I have learned that I need to hide the sugary treats when she is around
After a plethora of laughter and goofiness, we headed to Rushville for the Local Connection Artists Co-op annual winter show/sale. I love seeing art and am so proud that this co-op has been started in my hometown.
You would think that would be enough excitement for one day but guess again! My friend Kristy is the jester in the Rushville madrigal this coming weekend and Kristina is going to help out. We all went out for pizza at Pizza Unlimited (or P.U. as the locals call it) and then headed over to Kristy's parents house and watched them plan for the madrigal.
It was so much fun to hang out with friends! I don't do that often enough and as my semester gently winds down, I am trying to make more time before I head off to my new adventure of student teaching.
Stay warm!

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- If you're searching for value stocks making new 52-week lows, you're making a grave and common investor mistake. Most stocks that close at new 52-week lows continue to lose value. There's a reason the term "catching a falling knife" was coined, and some traders actively seek and short stocks making new lows.
A better way to find value is looking at the 52-week high list. Strong stocks become that way because they're undervalued relative to future expectations. It may feel counterintuitive to buy a stock near its yearly highs or even all-time high, but if you start a watch list of companies making new highs you'll quickly find that they tend to continue.
There are two types of new highs. Stocks that are making a blow-off top and undervalued companies that the market is playing catch up with. Blow-off tops are emotionally charged and incredibly volatile near the summit. Companies you want to buy are making new highs almost in stealth mode.
Wave Systems (WAVX), DuPont (DD), Walgreen (WAG), and Broadcom (BRCM) are four companies on my watch list right now. Three have momentum and the ability to continue growing. Each is unique in risk and potential.Background: Wave Systems is a leading provider of trusted computing solutions. The company's shares are liquid and trade an average of 1.4 million shares per day and have a market cap of $89 million. 52-Week Range: $0.69 to $2.28 Wave Systems is my wild card of the group. The shares are cheap and for a solid reason. Simply put, the company doesn't make money. This is an example of one to keep your emotions in check with. The company occupies the same security space as Symantec Corporation (SYMC) and VeriSign (VRSN). Symantec and VeriSign are billion-dollar companies and both are profitable while Wave Systems struggles. It's easy to imagine Wave Systems doubling or more, and the shares might. But at the current pace you're more likely to get diluted further than make a profit. Wave Systems has about 40 million shares outstanding and it seems marketing shares in the company is the most profitable item the company sells. In December 2013, the company sold 1.25 million shares for 97.25 cents per share. Buyers of the offering also get five-year warrants totaling another 626,674 shares at a strike price of 91 cents. Wave Systems trades at a 1.68 Beta. That means for any given overall market move, expect shares in the company to move 1.68 times as much. You can buy it as a purely speculative play and think of the stock as options that don't expire, but you will soon find out why I think there are more favorable investments available.

Are we reaching the limits to growth?: Reassessing the Club of Rome's 1972 Limits to Growth report.
Speakers:Dr Graham Turner (via internet link) (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation)Bruce Gaston (SkyBridge Finance)
Do current trends in commodity prices and availability indicate that the predictions made in the Club of Rome's 1972 Limits to Growth report were accurate? Are we approaching limits to growth in oil and food production? If so, what are the policy implications? Addressing these questions will be Dr Graham Turner, Ecosystem Sciences researcher at Australia's national science agency CSIRO, and Bruce Gaston, an oil and gas corporate finance advisor and researcher specialising in analysis of how the Limits to Growth forecasts could inform our understanding of the 2008 financial crisis and the ongoing Arab Spring.Register for this meeting here: http://www.appgopo.org.uk/index.php?option=com_attend_events&task=view&id=27

If you're an internet junky like me, you might have noticed that since last Friday (June 29) several big sites were down, like Netflix, Instagram, Pinterest and many more. They all made use of Amazon Elastic Cloud service, which was struck by severe weather on Friday night causing the Northern Virginia (US-EAST-1 Region) hub to go down. Almost 12 hours later, Amazon's Health Status still showed problems within each node of Northern Virginia. But apparently this failure of a single hub caused many big sites to be offline, a really bad thing for a running internet business and could cause major damage to the company's image and reputation. Question one needs to be ask here: can the promise of cloud solutions be offered in reality? The "cloud" should leverage issues like outages and such, because if one node goes down another node serves as failover.But in this case, the story doesn't have a nice ending. According to this report on Forbes, the outage for Netflix lasted little under 2 hours. But Pinterest, Instagram and others were still down.
We all want to be on the cloud and invest a lot of effort to build our applications scalable, distributed and lightning fast. But one thing forgotten in all of this is how to leverage failover. The cloud offers us such richness but why are we all betting on a single horse? Have we forgotten the old-school way of setting up a failover system on another service provider "just-in-case"? Aren't we doing the same thing for our networks?
With Windows Azure you can relax a little more as they provide a 3-way replication of your services world wide. So whenever a node goes down, Windows Azure has your instances replicated on 2 other nodes as well and will redirect traffic until the crashed node revives again. But to be on the safe side of things, keep a cheap virtual hosting service somewhere else where you can at least post updates on services and such.
For everyone who got impacted this weekend, make sure you learn a valuable lesson and distribute your eggs in different baskets.

A new literary classic, Second Nature has become a manifesto not just for gardeners but for environmentalists everywhere. Chosen by the American Horticultural Society as one of the seventy-five greatest books ever written about gardening, Second Nature captures the rhythms of our everyday engagement with the outdoors in all its glory and exasperation. With chapters ranging from a reconsideration of the Great American Lawn, a dispatch from one man's war with a woodchuck, to an essay about the sexual politics of roses, Pollan has created a passionate and eloquent argument for reconceiving our relationship with nature.

Discover Ministry Briefing! --> The Best Way To Keep "In The Know"!
Help us out here.
On a recent episode of the 700 Club Pat Robertson received a word of knowledge about a viewer that would be receiving a check for $1 million. A few days later, Robertson shared that a business man told him that BP had written him a check for $1 million. The check was related to the Gulf oil spill, and he had not been expecting it.
When you hear about things like this, how do you feel? Is this a miraculous event, or something a little less than that? Is Pat Robertson doing God's work in sharing a "word of knowledge" or is he giving those trying to discredit our faith more ammunition? Are these types of things intended to be done in the public eye, or in private?
We have a lot of questions here, we'd love to hear your take:
Were YOU given Pat Robertson's platform, would YOU share a "word of knowledge"?
Speculation is an interesting "beast." On one hand, I wholeheartedly believe that we grow from embracing the "hard questions." I'm honestly not trying to be critical of you Todd, but I'm not sure what healthy benefit there is on speculating of this nature. Many would probably respond with what they think they would do given their access was the same as Robertsons. However, the comments will probably be divided between those who like or "approve" him and those who don't. At the end of the day, what does this kind of speculation really profit?
I agree with Gary completely! What is the point of creating division? Surely a Word of Knowledge is biblical. Pat has operated in this gift for over 50 years. There have been outstanding testimonies (many videoed) on the show that were undeniable. Your post reminds me of the opposers of Jesus in His day having a discussion about the legitimacy of His miracles. Who cared what they thought? Did any of their words discredit Jesus' miracles? There are many in the body of Christ that don't understand or agree with the entire Bible and every doctrine and yet that doesn't make them right. These kinds of thoughts do more to divide, fertilize criticism and thoughtless negative comments, and display just how much the body of Christ cannot walk together in unity. I encourage you to focus on and share what you do know from Scripture that teaches, builds up, and encourages the body of Christ, than speculation of topics that will absolutely create words of division and suspect.
From their website:
"The 700 Club can be seen in 96 percent of the homes in the U.S. and is carried on ABC Family cable network, FamilyNet, Trinity Broadcasting Network, plus numerous local U.S. television stations, and is seen daily by approximately one million viewers.
CBN International maintains 15 television production centers around the world that create indigenous versions of The 700 Club and other Christian programs in 39 languages. CBN International programs are broadcast in 138 countries to an estimated yearly viewing audience of 360 million people."
tIf this is true, you will have a high probability of a certain "prophecy" coming true in at least in 1 viewer. Especially if that prophecy is very generic.
Of course, we all know that the Bible says we're to test every Spirit (1 John 4:1).
How does a "prophecy" stack up against God's Word? Is there a rule for it? When speaking of Gifts, we're reminded that God is a God of order and not chaos. (1 Corinthians 14:33)
And isn't New Testament prophesying nothing more than proclaiming truth based on the revealed Will of God? Every word must have its proper bearing on the subject presented in the Bible. (Matthew 5:18)
Personally, I believe that if a Word of Prophecy is given and if it is for a specific person, then it should probably be given one-to-one.
Definitely a lot of different things to think of, even beyond the short list of things given above.
Hmmm … just my two cents worth.
Gary his purpose was stated clearly, "is he giving those trying to discredit our faith more ammunition?" My thoughts would be if it is a true word of knowledge then Pat would have to be 100% accurate on each one, don't you think? But how could you verify that? What is his purpose or reason for giving words of knowledge. His erroneous comments on other matters discredit his credibility on my opinion.
Sure, Kevin. I understood the point because it was clearly stated. "Is he giving those trying to discredit our faith more ammunition?" My comment was based upon my opinion that speculations of this nature don't get us any closer to the message and purpose of Jesus. Integrity is very important. I agree. But, this kind of speculation draws out arguments of people that are polarized on the positions of what is and isn't "scriptural/biblical" regarding spiritual gifts. Spiritual gift operations is a valid discussion, but personalizing it by coming after Pat Robertson (whom I, myself disagree with many times) is not helpful or heathy in the long run. Much bigger fish to fry, IMHO of course.
What part isn't healthy if you're having an honest, respectful discussion about it? Many non-Christians look to him as representative of Christianity, they don't understand the issue of spiritual gifts so I agree that it's a helpful discussion when talking about the context that has been suggested here.
Kevin, I responded with my opinion on the issue. May I respectfully state that I did so simply to make what I considered to be a valid point. Nothing more, nothing less. To take it to debating over my opinion vs. your opinion is beyond the scope here in this forum. I don't think it was designed to be an extended online debate club. I added my perspective. It appears that, for one, you reject it as valid…or so it would appear. That's fine. My observation is pretty deep seated, as is yours. I think that is enough said.
David, I get what you are saying here. It is spoken from your conviction of what "the spirituals" look like. And, that's fair. I probably have a bit broader of a definition in what I have come to decide is "biblical/scriptural" but that and $2.00 will get me a cup of pour-over Java. I would agree that 1 word like "the million dollar word of knowledge" given to such a broad audience doesn't really give it honest validity. However, it also doesn't disprove that it was a "real word." Again…it is fun to speculate isn't it?
Kevin, I would agree … my understanding of a Biblical prophet is that they must be 100% correct and accurate. I feel his "word of knowledge" was inaccurate because he stated it would be a million dollars and the check was for something like 1.2 million dollars. I could understand being off by a few dollars, maybe even a hundred dollars or so, but .2 million dollars? That's a lot of money and in my book, that is pretty inaccurate. When I read through the Bible, it seems to me that God was pretty accurate with His prophecies, as well as their fulfillment. This is part of my basis for believing that those prophecies yet to be fulfilled will be fulfilled exactly as God has stated.
Gary, I understand your point on the broad audience issue, but the inaccuracy of the fulfillment by .2 million dollars leads me to be skeptical and lean toward it not being a "real word." Again, I believe in God being very precise/accurate. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "the spirituals?"
And yes, it is fun to speculate!
"the spirituals" would be the accurate translation where it says "spiritual gifts". The word gifts is added by the translators in an attempt to give clarity. I didn't state that as a point of debate. It's just the way I refer to spiritual gifts. Accuracy, David. I agree. But, we Paul also said we know in part and we prophecy in part. Denominations flourish over the understanding of accurate meanings of scripture. I am all for being as accurate as is possible by putting plenty of sweat equity into personal research on a wide variety of areas. But, for me the heart of the issue (as a general statement) Trust the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding (what you think you know). We need to try to understand, but we must also not put our weight there and that's where, IMHO, divisions have come from. "What we think we know." More fuel is given to the world over the divisions of understandings in the church than what we think is adding fuel to the flames."
Like arguing over a joke the rodeo clown told. I prophesy that a home will be destroyed in Kansas by a tornado and it will be the wrath of God against homosexuality.
Didn't Pat Robertson have a 'Word of Knowledge' that Mitt Romney was going to win the last presidential election against Barack Obama (And subsequently he offered a profuse apology telling us that he really thought he had God's words right)?. He is a false prophet and this is not my personal opinion. I am thinking that this would be God's own indictment against him considering how God instructed us to measure a prophets words. "But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or which he speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die," Deut. 18:20 and, "When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him," Deut. 18:22. We are not to pay attention to prophets who mix baloney in with substance because that is Satan's methodology.
The issue is not whether a 'Word of Knowledge' is part of the Christian experience in our time but whether this particular guy can even claim that he is an example of it.

Yes, my second DD is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. She was also allergic to eggs when she was one but outgrew it by around 3. Honestly the nut allergies have been a lot easier to deal with than the eggs. And she was diagnosed early so she hasn't developed a taste for them and now has to avoid them.
Good luck with your LO. It's an adjustment but not horrible. It just takes some time to figure stuff out!
LO went into anaphylaxis from eating a few bites of fish when he was 11 months old. We had to rush him to the hospital. We then got tested and found out that he has fish (severe), peanut (severe) and cat (mild) allergies. We carry an epi-pen - actually we have 3: one at daycare, one at our house, and one in his backpack at all times. It totally sucks. No one in our extended families have allergies.
I feel like the peanut one has been eaiser to handle because so many kids these days have peanut allergies and a lot of daycares and schools are nut-free. The fish one has been harder on us. We used to love going out to eat but now every time we do, I get quite anxious. I've been researching non-stop to try and see what we can do to help him "out-grow" his allergies, but nothing has proven to work.
stephaniejfree:Are avocados considered tree nuts?
No, they are not considered tree nuts. It is more walnuts, almonds, cashews, chestnuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pine nuts, pistachio.
My LO is allergic to cashews, pistachios, and walnuts. But there is a high rate of cross contamination among tree nuts so if you are allergic to one they tell you to avoid all of them.
I've been researching non-stop to try and see what we can do to help him "out-grow" his allergies, but nothing has proven to work.
is anyone else giving the probiotics theory a try? I've heard some success stories (or coincidences) with giving them and my allergist encourages it, saying it can't hurt anything. I'm hoping it helps in the slightest bit.

Radio Drama turns 90 on 16 February. The Quarrel Scene from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar (Act 4, Scene 3) was the first drama ever broadcast.
We've recorded a new version of this scene with Harriet Walter and Jenny Jules (from the all-female Donmar Warehouse production) which is being broadcast on BBC Radio 4 Extra on Saturday at 11.55am.Harriet Walter and Jenny Jules perform The Quarrel Scene
To celebrate the anniversary, we asked some of the actors we've worked with over the years to tell us why they enjoy working in Radio Drama. We also received birthday messages from Radio Drama luminaries as Stephen Mangan, Celia Imrie, Toby Jones, Freddie Jones and Radio 4 Controll Gwynneth Williams. Plus Sian Philips has written about growing up in a golden age of radio at the BBC.
Stephen Mangan, actor
"I first discovered the magic of radio listening under the covers late at night to the first broadcast of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series - and it blew my mind, so I am delighted to say 'Happy Birthday' Radio Drama." Stephen Mangan at the Audio Drama Awards
Radio 4 Controller Gwyneth Williams' birthday message for Radio Drama:
Celia Imrie and Stephen Mangan at the BBC Audio Drama Awards
Toby Jones, actor
"I've played a transgenic porcine Elvis impersonator, invented a voice for Owen Meaney, a scream for Edward II's very particular demise and quite a few classic serials in between. Radio has given me some of the most memorable acting opportunities nobody has ever seen. But one of the most satisfying and unexpected bonuses of working on the radio is to experience the speed and warmth of the communities formed and disbanded in the space of hours...."
Toby Jones recording Animal Farm
Freddie Jones, actor & father of Toby Jones
"Radio Drama has provided me with many of the most enriching demands of my career including the honour of a play written for me..."

Laser-Cut Rolling Pins That Let You Create Edible Plates
Joanne Choueiri, Giulia Cosenza, Povilas Raskevicius from Rotterdam's Piet Zwart Institute created a set of patterned rolling pins that let you create edible plates.
Called 'Rollware', the rolling pins are laser-cut with patterns, and were designed for its users to make bread-based plates from dough in various sizes.
All users have to do is to use the low-tech, hand-powered appliances to imprint patterns onto the brad dough, and cut the dough to the plate size they desires—then put it in the oven.
Reminiscent of pizzas, the outcome of edible plates offer more flexibility in terms of usage than that of the former mentioned.
Simple, yet ingenious.
