And patience. This is intended for people who recognize that a need to change themselves, their environment, or whatever and are having trouble getting started.
Until last month, all of the books in my Kindle collection were exclusively technical.
Whenever I travel for work and spend two hours uncomfortably seated between obese strangers and screaming children, I fire up the iPad and delve into a world of exciting subjects like Spatial Data Analysis in SQL Server 2008, the Ruby programming language, ASP.NET MVC3, iOS development, NoSQL Databases, and so on. Behold the "traveling with Aaron Stannard experience" in its full glory.
Before a business trip to Boulder I loaded up The Flinch in my Kindle collection because it was (1) free and (2) I had read someone somewhere say that this was a life-changing book. Whatever. I set about my business, had a good day of work in Boulder, and on the return trip home I fired up the iPad and started reading.
The Flinch delivered on its second-hand promise of being life-changing… The basic premise of the book is this: all people are born with a very small number of built-in reflexes. Loud noises make us tremble, high pitched cries make us look for children and people who are in distress, and "the flinch" is there to protect us when are in immediate danger.
The flinch isn't just the physical cover-up-with-your-hands reflex you had when Tommy Tommerson tried to drill you in the crotch with a kickball line-drive in 3rd grade – it's also an inertial force that stops you from taking potential risks and making changes. Do I really need to explain what's wrong with feeling resistant to taking risks and making changes? Fine.
As I hinted in my last post about our first post-collegiate years and as Paul Graham spelled out explicitly in his "Top of my Todo List" essay – our biggest life regrets are errors of omission. Drifting apart from great friends, finding out years later that the hot girl from English class thought you were cute but you were too much of a pussy to make an advance, not taking the job at the early stage startup that made it huge, not staying close to a family member who passed away suddenly, and the list goes on.
The reason you let this stuff happen is because of the flinch – the flinch speaks to you in your own voice, rationalizing reasons why you shouldn't pick up the phone and have an awkward conversation with your sick relative or why dating is a waste of time. It makes you feel comfortable sticking with the status quo and tells you "you're fine, you don't need to change."
In the ancient days, when changing your routine might mean getting eaten alive by a Sabre-Toothed Tiger because you decided to go hunting in an unfamiliar part of the woods, the flinch was a good self-preservation instinct.
Today, what's the biggest danger you can possibly run into? Being the one out-of-shape fat person struggling with the Stairmaster at 24 Hour Fitness? Dear God, anything but that!
The flinch gets in your way more often than it helps. It stops you from making the sorts of changes you need to realize your goals. It drives unwarranted compromise and needless caution.
So how do you overcome it? Like anything else worth doing, you practice.
More abstractly: overcoming your aversion to risk takes practice and effort – the very real physical and psychological reflex that your body and mind impose on you when presented with a risky choice must be unlearned by way of repetitive exercise.
I'm great at taking risks with some things and not so with others. I'm not as averse to risk in some areas because I've developed a competency for risk-taking through repetitive effort; in areas where I suck at taking risks it's because I've spent years rationalizing away my need to practice and improve.
After I returned home from Boulder I set about making some long overdue changes. I started exercising again. I reconnected with some old friends. I started teaching myself things I've needed to learn for years but had told myself "no Aaron, you suck at X." Fear of taking even minor risks, like the self-awareness you feel the first time you work out in twelve months, is an everyday thing that can (and must) be overcome.
The most impactful thing I've tried is a recommendation taken directly from the text of The Flinch itself – I've started taking cold showers. It's initially uncomfortable and you'll feel the flinch kick in as soon as you turn the dial on the shower, but it's a start to programmatically overcome the fear. I thought it sounded stupid (if you find yourself saying this a lot, you might just be afraid of whatever it is you're describing) but I tried it anyway and have stuck with it.
It's a struggle to push aside something as deeply programmed as the flinch, because it's our natural default. But we do it because the things we want require us to sack up and overcome it.

This is intended for recent graduates who are finding themselves lost in the shuffle as they adjust to the real world, but has advice that is applicable to everyone. Your mileage may vary.
I graduated from Vanderbilt University with a B.S. in Computer Science in May of 2008. I was a Cum Laude student and a member of Sigma Nu (a fraternity.) I rebuilt the student embodiment of IEEE & ACM back up from scratch into a meaningful, attractive organization inside Vanderbilt's engineering school, and did it alongside some really wonderful and amazing people. I helped rebuild Sigma Nu, lived in the house for a time, and met fantastic people who will be some of my lifelong friends.
The four years I spent in school were life-changing for me and completely reshaped me into a much more confident, balanced person than I was going in. I have few regrets.
The four years after I graduated have been disorienting – I'm not in a structured social environment anymore where everyone is new and eager to make friends. I have conference calls at nine in the morning. I need to renew my auto insurance. I have three weddings that I have to go to this Summer and I'm 90% sure I won't fit into my old pair of dress pants.
I'm fortunate that I live in a country where I don't have to worry about clean water or getting my head cut off, but that first world self-assurance doesn't make the transition to adult life any less jarring.
The most bothersome part about being an adult is a moment that occurs 1-3 years after you don the cap and gown.
Here, I'll set it up: you got your first job or two and have busted your ass nonstop trying to build a life, income, and home for yourself. You haven't gotten blackout drunk with your friends "because it's Tuesday night" since graduation. You haven't done any travel beyond seeing family and maybe a small trip here and there. You've grown apart from many of your college friends as you all went your separate ways, both geographically and professionally. You've settled into some routines that give you some sense of control over things, but you still aren't really cooking for yourself or exercising enough (as your mother will tell you.)
With that picture in mind, here's the moment that brings it all home: during the course of a regular day, maybe when you're at work or just coming home, you rediscover a piece of your personal history directly from the time when you were at college – and you start thinking about what's elapsed between then and now. And a wave of private humiliation starts to well up inside you… my life is a lot smaller than what it used to be, isn't it? Not going out there and changing the world yet exactly are am I? And my, what a boring person I've become!
It's the moment where you realize that you've unknowingly started to cast a boring mold for your future – and you start to mourn all of the ambition and optimistic hopes you held when you were in college. You start to doubt the path you're on and wonder, sometimes out loud, if you completely wasted the years of your life after college. You worry about sounding like an entitled, whiny bitch if you complain about it to anybody save your absolute closest friends, and thus deal with your torment in private.
Relax. Everyone goes through this – you're not alone, and it's scary for everyone too. It doesn't mean you've screwed up or made poor choices, and there's no point in worrying about that anyway since you only live once. Heed the moment for what it really is: your sub-conscious telling you "initiate adulthood, phase 2!"
Adjusting to adulthood isn't easy – if it were there wouldn't be any coming of age movies and Workaholics wouldn't be hilarious.
College doesn't prepare you for the ambiguity of real life – it gives you some of the tools and weapons to figure that out yourself in an economy where people are valued based on knowledge (rather than the ability to wield a shovel.) It takes a few years to figure out "where the bathroom is," if you pardon the metaphor, before you can really go on to do the stuff that you were born to do.
The moment is a call to arms, crafted just for you. It means you've figured out what it takes to survive outside of the corner room in your parent's house; you've got some money and some workplace experience; and you've a certainty that things are not where you want them to be. And you have no obligations to anyone or anything, save some manageable debt and a lease that expires in 7 months.
The moment means the time to make your life the way you imagined has come – don't screw it up. Quit your job and start a company; go traveling; marry that girl you've been dating steadily for three years; take up surfing; whatever your dreams are, do what it takes to realize them.
This won't be the last time you have a major moment of "oh shit what am I doing?" either – take them for what they are: indicators that you're ready to advance and change. Go do what it takes to be interesting and optimistic again now that you've conquered the banalities of adulthood.
This past weekend at SoCal Code Camp I presented a session along with my friend Nuri Halperin entitled "Battle of the NoSQL Databases: RavenDB vs. MongoDB."
I represented the RavenDB team, having used it in production now for a couple of months (and ditched Mongo to do it.) I'll blog more about the specifics of RavenDB and what it's awesome at some point in the future, but nevertheless I wanted to post my slides here so you could see the bullet-by-bullet comparison between the databases.
We didn't cover everything, but we did try to capture all of the high-level details:
A lot of exciting things were announced at today's Meet Windows Azure event, and one of the things I wanted to share with you is how you can now use our cross-platform Windows Azure Command Line Interface (CLI), part of our Node SDK, to administer your hosted services, VMs, and websites all from the comfort of your favorite terminal.
For the purposes of this blog post I'm going to use iTerm on OS X as my terminal of choice and I've also run all of these commands off of the DOS / PowerShell terminals in Windows 7.
Installing the CLI
The Windows Azure CLI is written in Node.JS, so it's cross-platform by design. To install it you need to have Node.JS and NPM (node package manager) installed.
Once you have both of those, you can just install the CLI using Git and NPM:
$ git clone git://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-sdk-for-node.git
$ cd ./cli-tools
$ sudo npm install –g
$ git clone git://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-sdk-for-node.git
$ cd ./cli-tools
$ sudo npm install –g
It's important to do a global install using the –g flag; that way the CLI will always be accessible regardless of what your current working directory is on the terminal.
You can also install the Windows Azure CLI directly via NPM itself:
$ sudo npm install azure -g
$ sudo npm install azure -g
Connecting to your Windows Azure Account
With the tools installed, you can now start exploring the SDK. Simply type the following on your terminal to see the full list of commands available in the CLI:
$ azure
$ azure
In order to effectively leverage any of these, you need to import you Windows Azure account settings and import them into the CLI. You only need to do this once.
This will open up the browser to a page on the Windows Azure portal which will download a .publishSettings file specific to your Azure account automatically. Once it's downloaded, then you need to import it using the azure account import command.
Once that's finished, you're good to go and can start using the CLI to administer your services!
Creating and Managing Windows Azure Websites
Now that we have our account criteria, we can start creating new websites, hosted services, or virtual machines.
If you're a new Azure customer, you'll probably want to start with Windows Azure websites – they're the simplest to set up, cheapest to run, and easiest to deploy.
One small hitch: before you can use the CLI to create Azure websites, you need to create your first one via the new Windows Azure Management Portal. You'll also need to Git publishing credentials via the web portal too.
One small hitch: before you can use the CLI to create Azure websites, you need to create your first one via the new Windows Azure Management Portal. You'll also need to Git publishing credentials via the web portal too.
I'm going to create a new website by using the azure site create command:
I used the --git flag to tell the Azure web portal "yes, I want to enable Git publishing for this website" which is one of the cool new features.
I can list all of my current Windows Azure websites using the azure site list command – if you have multiple accounts the CLI will list them per-account.
I can also manage my currently running sites, so for instance if I wanted to download my diagnostic logs for a specific site I could run azure site log download and grab the raw data for my performance logs.
You can see a full reference for the Windows Azure CLI here.
Working with Windows Azure VMs
The most sweeping change made in today's announcements was the inclusion of Windows Azure Virtual Machines; even though it's still in "preview mode," you can manage it via the CLI if you have access to the preview (you can apply for Windows Azure Preview Features here.)
I'm going to create a new Linux VM using the CLI.
First thing I want to do is check the list of available VM images, which I can do by running the azure vm image list command.
So you can see the list of default images here – I'm going to use the CentOS image because I'm feeling all Linuxy today.
So I create a new CentOS VM in our US-West data center and I even set up a username and password for administering the box (although I forgot to pass the –-ssh flag, which would add SSH to the box.)
The syntax for creating a new VM is azure vm create <dns-name> <image> <userName> [password].
If I want to check in on the status of this instance, I can just run the azure vm show <name> command to get the details.
Since I don't want a bunch of people on the Internet hacking into my brand new VM, I'm going to go ahead and delete it via the CLI using the azure vm delete <name>.
Note: when you use --blob-delete command, this deletes the VM's hard drive image from your storage account permanently.
Working with Hosted Services
You can also manage our signature PaaS offerings on Windows Azure too, our hosted services. I'm already running some of these on my personal Azure account, so I'm going to run the azure service list command to see a list of hosted services:
If I wanted to I could delete hosted services, add new management certificates, and so forth.
Wrapping Up
Our announcements yesterday changed the game with Azure, and using the CLI I now have a level of control and visibility over all of my VMs, websites, and services a mere terminal away from my fingertips. This is a game-changer.

This past weekend I ran a Node Bootcamp on behalf of Microsoft and in partnership with the fine folks at Cloud9 IDE – the goal of these camps is to help teach newbies Node.JS and to get some Node.JS-on-Azure business from attendees who have a good experience.
So I decided to build a sample Socket.IO application that leverages our platform and would give our attendees a base to work from when it came time for them to participate in the Node Bootcamp Hackathon. I've done a lot of work with Express on Node but had never really done much with Socket.IO, so I was curious to see how hard it was to pick up.
Total time to build and deploy this application from end-to-end, including learning Socket.IO: about 5 hours.
All I wanted to build was a basic chatroom – a simple version of JabbR or something of the sort. Below is a screenshot of the finished product, to give you an idea.
The chat room I wanted had these simple requirements:
These are all pretty simple requirements for a single chat room; nothing too daunting here.
So I decided that to pull this off these technologies would make the best fit:
The design of this application is straight forward.
Next in the series:
Part 2 – Setting up Express and session-handling;
Part 3 – Setting up socket.io
Part 4 – Integrating socket.io on the client-side with KnockoutJS
Part 5 – Using Azure Table Storage for persistent chat

The bottom line when working with busy people is to preempt as much of the mental overhead of working with you as possible; all it really takes is some brevity and thoughtfulness on your part. If you form the eight behaviors I list below (and others I may be forgetting) into habits, you'll be much easier to work with and you'll get better results.
One of the transformational things my job at Microsoft has done for me is help me appreciate what it is like to be extremely busy and how hard it can be to work with other extremely busy people.
"Busy-ness" isn't a measure of how much time someone spends working, although there's typically a strong correlation; it's really a measure of the total amount of concern a particular individual has to manage at any point in time. The busier you are, the greater the concern you are managing.

Each task / person / problem / thing you have to manage at any given time carries a non-zero amount mental and emotional overhead – dates, consequences, pressures, stakeholders, key facts and figures, costs, opportunities, sentiments, and so forth. All of this takes effort to remember, recall, manage, and act upon.
A person who has to manage 1,000 small things is extremely busy; a person who has had a parent or close relatively die recently is extremely busy. The number of items isn't what matters - it's the total sum of the mental and emotional overhead that drives busy-ness.

When you're trying to do business with extremely busy people, you are effectively adding more stuff onto their already full plate. In order to effectively communicate and do business with them, you need to minimize the overhead of whatever it is you need said busy person to do for you.
So here are some ways you can make it easy for busy people to get back to you:
When I ask to meet with the managing director of an accelerator or the CTO of an interesting startup (busy people,) I always end my emails with a sentence that reads something like this "do you have time for a quick phone call any time after 3:00pm on Tuesday or Wednesday?"
The effect here is subtle: what you do by proposing times yourself is you give the busy person the ability to focus on a small range of possible times, and the likelihood of getting a response back in-turn is drastically higher than if you left the scheduling completely open. The proposed times will either work for the busy person or they won't, and they can give you a simple yes/no answer in return.
If you leave the scheduling for an appointment totally wide open, you are essentially forcing the busy person to do a scan of their entire calendar over the next couple of weeks and force them to find a time. This is overhead – busy people hate overhead, and they may defer responding to you indefinitely.
All of the other techniques I described here are derivatives of the following rule:
Everyone likes being responsive, even the extremely busy. When you the decrease need for busy people to think when considering any business opportunity or engagement you might have, you increase the likelihood that they will get back to you.
Everyone likes being responsive, even the extremely busy. When you the decrease need for busy people to think when considering any business opportunity or engagement you might have, you increase the likelihood that they will get back to you.
If you want to do business with the extremely busy, make certain that they can understand what it is you want to do in a matter of seconds – not minutes. If find yourself writing War and Peace emails, then you have failed.
Save your stories and background for when you talk in-person or over the phone – keep any requests you have in writing short and specific. One sentence for who you are and what you do. One sentence for what you need. One sentence for the value you can offer the busy person in return. One question on how to take the next steps. Done1.
Anything beyond that and you're using the wrong communication medium.
An even better technique than the Three Sentence Rule for emails is the EOM rule, where you fit the entire body (super short, obviously) of your email into the subject line and terminate it with [EOM] for "end of message."
If you use the EOM rule, then busy people will read your entire message whether they want to or not given that they can see the entire body of the message in the subject line when they glance over their inbox.

So let's say you do a good job and manage to get a meeting with a busy person – what then? You should always have an objective for whatever it is you want from them, and you should make that objective as specific as possible.
The more specific your demands are of a busy person's time, the less overhead for them (usually.)
The more specific your demands are of a busy person's time, the less overhead for them (usually.)
When I meet with someone who asks me if I can get help their startup get started with a Windows Phone 7 version of their application, then that's reasonably easy – if they ask me how to solve a specific engineering or design problem that they've run into, then that's even easier.
The amount of information I have to extract from the requestor in order to actually help them is drastically smaller in the latter example and thus I can move from words to action much more quickly.
Contrast this with some meetings I've had where the people who requested the meeting open with "how can you help me?" There are hundreds of different ways I can answer that question, but since the meeting requestor hasn't provided me with any context as to what's important to them I'm going to do what any other busy person would do and go down the path of least resistance.
That path does not always lead to the results that either party wants, so make the path of least resistance the one that leads to you walking away with your goals met by eliminating the busy person's need to craft your engagement plan for you.
This is a no-brainer. If you have scheduled a meeting with a busy person, do one of the following:
If a busy person can't figure out how they're supposed to contact you or meet with you, they might just push or not show up. Make it clear for everyone and take the extra 2 seconds to add a little specificity to the meeting request.
Particularly important if you are doing in-person meetings – stuff comes up and people might run late or might get lost, in which case they need to be able to get back to you.
Always include a phone number where you can be reached in your email signature so they can contact you in the event that something goes wrong and they run late or need help finding you. If they haven't had time to save your contact information, they can at least quickly look up your last email conversation and grab your contact information that way.
A surefire way to never hear from a busy person ever again is to shop them for favors. This happens when one person tries to extract as much value out of a busy person's time as possible by stuffing the meeting full of requests for different and often unrelated favors.
I had a meeting where a person presented me with four unrelated projects and asked how I could help with each; I ultimately decided not to help with any of them, because it was clear that this person did not care what my interests were. It was all about their projects, not about building a mutual business relationship.
When you go favor shopping, you're not offering any value in return – you're openly using the other person and being a parasite in the process.
When you go favor shopping, you're not offering any value in return – you're openly using the other person and being a parasite in the process.
Favors don't come at a volume discount.
Follow-up is good; busy people let stuff slide and can easily forget. Finding a way to stay on someone's radar appropriately is necessary and good.
However, asking for read receipts for every single email you send is obnoxious and busy people will simply delete your messages.
In contrast, following up after 2-3 business days with a simple "just wanted to double check to see if you're still available for lunch on these dates" is fine under most circumstances.
Here are my rules of thumb:
Email is often a crappy medium for doing business anyway – pick up the phone and call the busy person's office if you aren't able to get ahold of them via email.
Life happens; meetings get moved; and things come up. Be flexible enough to take these things in stride. You'll get a lot more business done this way and will be thanked for it.
1See the Three Sentence Rule.
One thing that is a little dicey about the Windows Azure SDK for Node 1 is that it by default it depends on being run inside of Azure itself or the compute emulator.
The Azure npm package looks for environment variables parsed from web.config and won't find them if you run your node application via the node [entrypoint].js commandline.
So why would you want to run your Node application outside the Azure emulator if you're utilizing the Azure npm package? If you're using Cloud9 to develop and deploy Node applications to Windows Azure, then that's one reason.
Another is that IIS eats any error messages your Node application throws by default2 and on some occasions errors don't always get logged to server.js/logs/[n].txt, so occasionally you have to debug by running the stand-alone node server where you get verbose error messages to console.
To work around this, you can set your tableClient / storageClient / queueClient object to target a specific account directly.
//Emulator var tableClient = azure.createTableService(ServiceClient.DEVSTORE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT, ServiceClient.DEVSTORE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY, ServiceClient.DEVSTORE_TABLE_HOST);
//Live account var tableClient = azure.createTableService('aaronnodedemo','scary-looking-access-key',' [account].table.core.windows.net');
//Emulator var tableClient = azure.createTableService(ServiceClient.DEVSTORE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT, ServiceClient.DEVSTORE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY, ServiceClient.DEVSTORE_TABLE_HOST);
//Live account var tableClient = azure.createTableService('aaronnodedemo','scary-looking-access-key',' [account].table.core.windows.net');
When you do this you lose the ability to let Azure .config transforms enable you to switch between production and staging easily, but this can be a necessary evil for debugging tricky bugs ;)
1"azure" is the name of the associated npm package
2I'm sure there's a way to change that behavior in the IISnode configuration settings
This past weekend at SoCal Code Camp I gave two presentations back-to-back on Node.JS: "Intro to Node.JS" and "Building Web Apps with Express."
I don't have much to add on what I did at the sessions other than to mention just how surprised I was at how enthusiastic people were to see Microsoft involved with the Node effort and how eager everyone was to learn Node. I was thoroughly impressed.
Below are links to my slides and code samples for both talks – enjoy!

Let me know if you have any questions!
One major advantage of developing Node applications for Windows Azure is the ability to have your Node apps managed directly by IIS via iisnode.
You can read more about the benefits of iisnode here, but I want to call out these two points specifically from the iisnode wiki:
Scalability on multi-core servers. Since node.exe is a single threaded process, it only scales to one CPU core. The iisnode module allows creation of multiple node.exe processes per application and load balances the HTTP traffic between them, therefore enabling full utilization of a server's CPU capacity without requiring additional infrastructure code from an application developer. Process management. The iisnode module takes care of lifetime management of node.exe processes making it simple to improve overall reliability. You don't have to implement infrastructure to start, stop, and monitor the processes.

Process management. The iisnode module takes care of lifetime management of node.exe processes making it simple to improve overall reliability. You don't have to implement infrastructure to start, stop, and monitor the processes.
Scalability on multicore servers with Node typically requires developers to use the Node cluster module and write some code which spawns one node.exe process per available processor and write your own handlers for what to do in the event of a failed process and so forth.
Update: It occurred to me after I initially published this that many developers may not understand the need for multiple node.exe processes. If you read through my "Intro to Node.JS for .NET Developers" you'll get a better sense for how Node works under the hood – the gist of it is that Node handles all incoming HTTP requests on a single thread, and thus can only utilize a single core at any given time regardless of the number of available processors. Having multiple Node.exe processes handling HTTP requests allows for multiple event loop threads, all of which can be run in parallel across different processors. That's why this technique is important for multicore systems.
IIS and iisnode can take care of this for you automatically without you having to write any code to do it (a good thing,) and on Windows Azure you can automate this via startup task (fork the source on Github:)
if "%EMULATED%"=="true" exit /b 0
REM Count the total number of available processors on this system
powershell -c "exit [System.Environment]::ProcessorCount"
REM set the default number of processes for our app pools in IIS equal to the
number of available processors
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:applicationPools
This startup task automatically determines the number of available processors on the CPU and tells IIS to set the number of worker processes in your Node application pools to use one process-per-core, thus allowing your Node applications to take advantage of every core on the system.
If you want to use this startup task in your Node project, follow these steps:
<!-- Included by default; installs everything you need to run Node on Azure -->
<Task commandLine="setup_web.cmd" executionContext="elevated">
<Variable name="EMULATED">
<RoleInstanceValue xpath="/RoleEnvironment/Deployment/@emulated" />
<Task commandLine="setMaxProcessesToAvailableProcessors.cmd"
<Variable name="EMULATED">
<RoleInstanceValue xpath="/RoleEnvironment/Deployment/@emulated" />
To verify that the script worked:
And voila, you're done.
On my primary development machine, where I have tweaked and prodded IIS multiple times for many projects over the past couple of years, I get the following 500 – Internal Server Error message when I try to fire up even the simplest "Hello World" Node.JS project included in the default template for each Windows Azure Node Web Role:
However, when I push the default "Hello World" Node.JS app to a production on Windows Azure, I have no issues whatsoever! So what's the problem?
The issue is that the Windows Azure emulator:
Under these settings, Windows thinks that each Node.exe process is trying to access the integrated IIS pipeline (which only .NET applications can do currently) under the process identity of the Windows Azure emulator (which has administrative rights), which is not supported. This issue comes up with other CGI / non-.NET applications run in IIS besides Node too.
Here are a few ways to fix the problem:
In this instance, simply change the web.config file in the root of your Node.JS application directory to set Identity.Impersonation=False, like this:
<identity impersonate="false"/>
Effectively this makes it such that your Node role doesn't not assume the identity of the Windows Azure emulator (which runs in a process with administrative rights), so it runs under a local system process identity and no longer raises the error.
Remember that web.cloud.config affects your live settings on Windows Azure; you want to change just web.config which affects only your local settings when you run in the Windows Azure emulator.
Another alternative is to simply tell IIS to suppress the error altogether, which you can do be editing the system.WebServer section of your web.config file:
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
The final and preferred method is to change the AppPool to Classic Mode, which shuts off the application's access to the integrated IIS processing pipeline regardless of process identity. You can do this via startup task:
%systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\APPCMD.EXE set app "Default Web Site/" /applicationPool:"Classic .NET AppPool"
Although this might be the most kosher method of fixing the issue in IIS, it also happens to be the most awkward to implement on Azure. I'd recommend using approach #1 or #2 instead given that this issue affects the local emulator only.

I have to admit that it came as a bit of a surprise to see Ericom beating Citrix, VMware, et al to the punch last week by shipping the beta release of its HTML5-based RDP client, before any of the bigger vendors opened up their offerings to public scrutiny. I'll being look at the operation of Ericom's HTML5 client in more depth next week, but first we need to understand why anyone would be interested in deploying a HTML5-based remote desktop client at all.

Licensing VDI for Microsoft Desktops – is it rocket science?
• • 0 Comments
Given all the past ingenuity and accomplishment why is it, in 2011, the mere task of assigning valid licenses to desktop virtualisation should appear an arcane process?
How do different virtualization models impact how you license your desktop services? What are the current licensing models and do they apply in all instances of desktop virtualisation? Do the models impact on provisioning of services be they laptops, thin clients, Bring Your Own Computer (BYOC), or mobile devices?
Is desktop virtualization licensing an intentionally complex process and what other options could there be?

The Virtual Desktop Design Maxim: Start With User Requirements
• • 3 Comments
When considering a Virtual Desktop Design a good architect needs to ask "what is the best solution for this environment?" For many, once you've considered the needs of your users, it is a combination of desktop delivery models – some virtual, some physical. Ideally the user is unaware of which model is being delivered to them, they consume that service on an appropriate device, at an appropriate time. Ringcube perhaps first to market for this type of solution with their Workspace Virtualization Engine.

Ericom welcomes the desktop virtualization year with new release
• • 3 Comments
Ericom has has won the race to deliver the first new product release of the "Year of Desktop Virtualization" with the launch of Ericom PowerTerm WebConnect 5.7.
WebConnect (sorry Ericom, but "PowerTerm WebConnect 5.7″ takes too much space on the page to type out every time) is Ericom's answer to Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop, plus or minus a few bells and whistles. On the plus side WebConnect includes mainframe and midrange terminal emulation software to provide access to legacy systems, as well as offering support for mixed environments consisting of servers running Windows Server 2003, 2008, 2008 R2 grouped together in a single farm, and manages to do all this with a single product where Citrix still requires two.

text: Abington Heights High School Interact Club members Tara Hambrose and Meredith Westington lugged waste out of a home in the Rockaways, New York on November 25 during a recent Rotary service trip. The wrecker in the background, which was from Dallas, Texas, was in the neighborhood removing cars that had been flooded by the Hurricane Sandy storm surge. Few businesses in this community have reopened since the storm which means food is in short supply there. Local officials expect that many Rockaway businesses will not reopen.

Situated in Porto Feliz, Sao Paulo, the Lee House is radically horizontal, organized in a single volume ground-floor site. Naturally, then, it has a strong relationship with the external grounds, opening out into the garden and utilizing a cross-ventilation through its open sides. Architecture firm Studio MK27 designed a large front veranda which acts as a corridor and connects the living room and kitchen. At the end of the corridor is the bedroom and a spa, composed of a sauna and gym room, all of which is accessible separately. The house is simply clad in wood and white mortar which gives it a minimalist atmosphere that extends from the interior to the exterior of the house.

Foundation can give you a flawless base for your face—if you do it right
Oil-based foundations list oil as their first ingredient and water usually as their second or third ingredient. Oil-based foundations feel greasy and thick, look greasy and thick, and go on greasy, yet can blend out quite sheerly and softly. You can blend an oil-based foundation to a very thin, subtle layer of makeup.
Pros: Oil-based foundations can be very good for women with extremely dry or wrinkled skin. The emollient ingredients help the skin look very dewy and moist, which can minimize the appearance of wrinkles.
Cons: Oil-based foundations tend to be very greasy and thick and can look that way on the skin unless you are very adept at blending.
They also have a tendency to turn orange on the skin because the extra oil in them affects the pigments in the foundation. This can be true for women of color, too, and it explains why oil-based foundations can look orange after they are worn for a while.
The typical recommendation for applying an oil-based foundation is to add water to your sponge so that it goes on thinner, and more like a water-based foundation. But that can be tricky to gauge and can cause the makeup to streak. Why not just use a water-based foundation in the first place and skip the negatives of the oil-based foundation?
Additionally, if you wear face powder over this type of foundation, the oil grabs the talc and the face can appear coated and heavily made up even if you blend it on thinly. The same is true for blushes and eyeshadows—they will go on more heavily because of the increased oil on the skin, and they will also become darker once applied. Traditional cream blushes tend to work best over this type of foundation.
These foundations come in a compact and appear and perform much like any pressed powder, which is what they really are, only with a bit more coverage and ability to stay put. Almost all of them have a superior creamy, silky feel, but when applied to the skin they blend on as easily and lightly as any pressed powder.
Pros: Powder-based foundations are great for women with normal to oily or combination skin. They blend on easily and quickly, last all day, generally don't change color, and feel exceptionally light on the skin. They are best for those who want a minimal feel and appearance from their foundation. They also work very well over sunscreens, and can help reduce the shine some sunscreen ingredients (even those in a matte base) leave on the skin.
Cons: Women who have dry skin should not wear powder-based foundation. This is also not a good option if you have flaky skin, regardless of your skin type. The powder content makes this type of foundation too drying for someone with dry skin, and the way it goes on can make the skin look more dry and flaky. Also, women with very oily skin might want to be cautious, because powder-based foundations can get a thickened, pooled appearance as oil resurfaces on the face during the day.
These foundations are an interesting cross between a pressed powder and a creamy liquid foundation. They come in a compact and have a very creamy, almost greasy appearance. When you blend them on, the creamy part disappears and you are left with a slightly matte, powdery finish. Cream-to-powder foundations provide much better coverage than pressed powder-based foundations.
Pros: Cream-to-powder foundations blend on quickly and easily and provide a semi-matte, soft, medium coverage. They work great for someone with normal to slightly dry or slightly combination skin. The consistency doesn't require powdering after you apply it. If you wish to use powder, make sure you apply it as lightly as possible to avoid a caked, heavy look.
Cons: Cream-to-powder foundations can blend on slightly thickly, providing a made-up look rather than a sheer, natural appearance. They don't work well for someone with oily skin because the cream components can be too creamy, making skin look more oily, and they don't work well for dry skin because the powder part can be too powdery-looking and cause more dryness. Essentially, they are best for normal skin types.

Thank u Madhura for posting the recipe. With minor variations in terms of quantity of ingrrdients based on my family's likeliness...recipe turned out best for me. I didnt use poha and potato as I am not fond of them in misal. Also instead of goda masal i used kala masala and misal was perfect to enjoy with wheat brown bread ( steamed). Thanks again for sharing flavoursome recipe.

The display, camera, OS, battery, memory, connectivity everything has superb functioning. The built-in 16 GB memory let me save lots of apps and other kind of data. 1.2 Ghz Quad Core processor, Cortex A7 helps a lot in quick functioning. Last week I went for tracking and their I used phone only to click picture. The 13 MP superb camera stood out the best. The curves and edges of the phone are very stylish.
I study many mobiles specifications but it looks me there is very nice features in minimum price comparison with samsung brand and xolo
Bought Canvas 4 in shop for 18K. The phone is amazing in build, quality, specs. Can 4 is equal to branded phone in price range 35K+. Why pay 35 K+ for branded phone when we can get same 18K? I have used Samsung, Spice and Karbon. Micromax Can 4 is simply the best.My experience is a no phone, branded or unbranded, lasts for more than one year!
It is very good when comparison of features are done.Indian product.Worth buying.Excellent look.I am fully satisfied with the product.
at this rate this is the best cell u will ever get.. this is damn good phone however the delivery could had been done earlier....
Amazing finishing from Micromax INDIA, you guys did a great job keep it up.
1)awesome phone 2)awesome display 3)awesome camera(both back and front) 4)awesome memory capacity just awesome awesome awesome
The quality of this product is excellent as i expected,the shipping method is also fast and safely deliver to me.keep up with your service to satisfied the need of your customers.
First of all, let me clear the air on the reviews about Infibeam that you would see on other web sites. As for me, I had very pleasant experience shopping with Infibeam. Ordered mobile on Wednesday after and I received the mobile on Saturday, that too because Friday was Ramzan, so it was a holiday. Otherwise, I might have received it by Friday Evening. Good and keep it up Infibeam. I am more than happy to shop on your site once again. With respect to Canvas 4, as long as you don't have Canvas HD, then its a good mobile to own. People say, why Micromax, Galaxy Grand is about same price. Even, I am one of the many who had the same misconception. Let me first tell, its not cheap, build quality is good and primarily, I don't believe Samsung products live longer than 2 years. That's not just my opinion, some of my colleagues and friends opnion as well. No offense to Samsung fans but thats my opinion. Canvas 4 is very good value for money considering the mobile which are of same price range. Yes, its about 4K more than Canvas HD, if internal memory, thinner form factor of Canvas 4 is not major deal breaker, please go for Canvas HD. My brother has Canvas HD and Canvas 4 is miles ahead in terms of form factor, build quality and clarity as well though numbers show, its same display resolution. Regarding how mobile works, usage, etc details, you will find loads of it online, so I have concentrated on talking of differences with Canvas HD. Also, not to mention, the commonness of seeing Grand in so many users' hands. Once again, let me re-iterate, may be 18K is little more, I believe price may reduce to another 1K to 1.5K in due course as its pricey by that much but if you need mobile in this range and confused between Galaxy Grand and Canvas 4, close your eyes and buy Canvas 4. You will not regret the decision.
Excellent phone. Value for money. Very good camera. Touch is also nice
best smart phone and comparable with Rs 70000 nc of samsung
the delivery was very speedy and the deal that i got was very good. the packing was also very good. the phone was sealed and intact and just started using it. The phone is awesome and great value for money.
I received the mobile in excellent condition. Prompt delivery.
such a good phone in just 18000 i have note 2 and canvas4 but i love in canvas 4 camera 13 mp quality superb no hang running smoothely all features with 16 gb internal storage samsung grand in 20000 but hang and leging so problem i preferd use micromax indian brand such a good technology in good money rate :)
Amazing Product with fast delivery..(i recd product in next day). I Love this mobile.!!

Idiocracy is a 2006 American satirical science fiction comedy film directed by Mike Judge and starring Luke Wilson, Maya Rudolph, Dax Shepard, and Terry Crews. The film tells the story of two people who take part in a top-secret military hibernation experiment, only to awaken 500 years later in a dystopian society wherein advertising, commercialism, and cultural anti-intellectualism have run rampant and dysgenic pressure has resulted in a uniformly unthinking society devoid of intellectual curiosity, social responsibility, and coherent notions of justice and human rights.

Not so many years ago, every phone came with a built-in loop for attaching a wrist strap. Not so much any more. While there are a few cases that support a lanyard loop, not many still do. And there's the Netsuke from Poddities that adds a loop to the Lightning connector.
A lanyard or wrist strap can be a great feature for safety, especially in high "Apple Picking" crime areas like San Francisco, New York City, or just about any tourist destination worldwide. Not to mention it can help keep a phone from hitting the concrete when pulling it from a pocket.
Here's a quick and easy way to add a simple lanyard to the new iPhone case. I've done this with a few different cases now, and even look for cases to use that fit what is needed to do this. The main feature to look for in a case that this technique will work with is a very sturdy sidewall, made of hard plastic. It needs to be a sturdy build to keep the lanyard from cracking or tearing the case. A soft silicone type case won't work for this.
Choose a lanyard or wrist strap. A variety of them will work. There are probably a couple in the junk drawer left over from an old camera or maybe even an ancient cell phone. Make sure the loop part of the lanyard is at least an inch long to allow space to connect it. If there are none around, I'm a big fan of these from Rokform. Sturdy and just the right size for a wrist strap.
Next, I choose the side – either left or right. Both work. Choose the side that matches the hand the phone is usually held in. I usually hold my phone in my left hand, so I chose left.
Make two small holes about 1/2 inch apart on the side of the case using a 3/32″ drill bit. This will leave enough space so that the case left between the holes won't easily break with a little tension. The spacing also needs to be small enough so that the loop part of the lanyard can go from one hole to the other and back.
When drilling, make sure to let the drill do the work; no need to push it through with force. Also, be careful to keep your fingers away from the drill bit and away from the back where the bit will emerge.
Next, loop the lanyard through the holes from the bottom outside through the back of the top hole. If the lanyard string is thicker, something like a paperclip will be needed to push the string through. Slide the lanyard through the loop and then insert the phone and ta-da, a lanyard on your iPhone! Simple and easy.
I have also successfully tried this on the Mophie Juice Pack Air Case, the Olloclip Flip Case, and the official Apple iPhone 5s case. As mentioned above, rubber or silicon cases don't work as they tear easily. If you chose to do this, make sure all common safety rules are followed and it's not our fault if you destroy your case, drill through your hand, or burn down your home.
Had one of those winters where bits have fallen off your house, or you've simply got bored of how one room looks and fancy a change? I've managed both of those, but I've found a silver lining in terms of delving into the world of home improvement apps on the App Store. Here are my favorite four apps that will both inspire and help those with DIY projects planned for the coming Spring.

Golf fan bets 1000 pounds on McIlroy winning Masters after seeing face in Danish pastry
A golf fan has reportedly bet 1000 pounds on Northern Irish ace Rory McIlroy winning the US Masters after allegedly seeing the golfer's face in a Danish pastry.
College lecturer Rob Price, who picked up the buttery treat from his local bakery in Andover, took it as a 'sign' that the golfer's face appeared in a pastry from his girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki's home country, to back the Irishman at the golfing tournament.
According to the Daily Star, a spokesman from online betting exchange Betfair said that although Price has chosen an odd way of putting his bet, he has a fair chance with Tiger Woods dropping out of the tournament and the rest of the world's golfers having a mixed season.
The report mentioned that McIlroy is considered a favourite to win the tournament at the Augusta National.

Lions Club
This April marks the 30th anniversary of the 9Health Fair and the 20 plus years that Berthoud Lions Clubs have hosted the fair at Berthoud High School.
This year's 9Health Fair will be on April 18 at Berthoud High School and has scheduled nearly 100 volunteers to serve an anticipated 700 fair participants as they take advantage of free or low-cost health screenings.
In a time of economic recession, 9Health Fair is emphasizing just how important it is to "know your numbers." These numbers reflect the results of a blood chemistry screening (blood draw) that provides a baseline check on your overall health ($30). These screenings can help you and your doctor monitor your health and prevent health issues from becoming emergencies.
Men can take advantage of the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) blood draw that helps determine the presence of prostate cancer ($25). Free digital prostate exam by a doctor will also be available.
Blood count screening is also offered to check your white blood cells, hematocrit, hemoglobin levels and blood-clotting abilities. This test can help determine your body's ability to fight infection, anemia, liver disease and certain cancers ($15).
Also offered this year is a new take-home/mail-in colon cancer screening kit. This new and improved test has been proven to be very accurate at detecting human blood in the stool ($20).
The following screenings are available at no charge: vision, blood pressure, breast screening by a female medical professional, foot health, eye health, mental health, height/weight, body mass index and hearing.
New this year at the Berthoud site is the finger stick glucose screening. This free test identifies an individual's fasting blood glucose levels. There will also be materials for education on recognizing and understanding the signs and symptoms of diabetes.
There will also be the opportunity to ask a physician about anything relating to the screenings.
Take advantage of pre-registration this Friday and Saturday, April 10 and 11, at the Lions Club Depot at Second Street and Massachusetts Avenue. The hours are 9 a.m. to noon. Please bring payment for whatever fee-based optional tests you will want at the 9Health Fair.
Take advantage of the huge savings on blood work and the many free screenings at the Berthoud 9Health Fair at Berthoud High School (north entrance) on Saturday, April 18. The fair is open 7 a.m. and closes promptly at noon. Remember that the blood draws and finger stick glucose tests require a 12-hour fast from food but be sure to take any medications and drink lots of water in order to assure an easy blood draw.
For further information or to volunteer, please call (970) 391-9681.

Writers mean more than they say and say more than they mean.
Young men preen. Old men scheme.
Young poets bewail the passing of love; old poets, the passing of time. There is surprisingly little difference.
