The following is an article from stackoverflow.com about user loadtesting.
"I'm working on a user load testing application for web servers and I'm trying to implement a feature for automatically ramping up the maximum number of "users" that a server can handle. I want to spawn test users until some threshold for the average response time and/or http request failure ratio is met, and then I want to kill/spawn users until a stable state just below the thresholds is found.
Essentially, I want to find the maximum stable number of concurrent users that still meets the requirements, as fast as possible.
I can of course figure out an algorithm for this myself but I'm thinking that there might be existing ramp up/ramp down algorithms that I could use. If anyone has knowledge on this I would love if you could point me in the right direction!

This depends a lot on what's going on and if the system begins to decay gradually or if there is a discrete drop in performance (e.g. "healthy" -> "dead").
The following is from SmartBear Software about loadUI for loadtesting.
"loadUI. The art of Load Testing. They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We'd say it's in loadUI. loadUI is a free and open source tool that deliver a visual, drag-and-drop Load Testing experience – in real-time. loadUI lets you create, configure, and update your tests while running them, making your testing interactive and flexible. Add to that the perfect fit with soapUI, and you've got yourself a package full of testing nitroglycerin.
Distributed Testing in Real-Time. Before loadUI, load testing was static and counter intuitive. You had to first create the tests and then run them to the end before you could update them. With loadUI you can create, configure, and update your tests in real-time while the tests are running.
Elegant and Intuitive Design loadUI is the first software to deliver a visual, drag-and-drop load testing experience. It is also the first software to fully eliminate manual testing and scripting. Everything – from test design to distribution to analytics – is designed with simplicity and ease-of-use in mind. The first time you start loadUI, you'll know how to use it by instinct.

A press release from marketwire, announces new version of regulatory reporting solution by Lombard Risk Management.
"Lombard Risk Announces New Version of Regulatory Reporting Solution - Version 5 of STB-Reporter: Web-Based With Stress Testing and MIS
LONDON, ENGLAND, Sep 06, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Lombard Risk Management plc UK:LRM -3.27% ("Lombard Risk"), a leading provider of integrated collateral management and liquidity, regulatory and MIS reporting solutions for the financial services industry, announces a new version of its regulatory reporting solution - using web technology, with significantly enhanced and many new features - as a key component of its integrated solution.
The increase in demand for regulatory compliance post financial crises is a major challenge for firms around the world. Lombard Risk's regulatory reporting solution meets those requirements, automating the process end-to-end from data collection to electronic output. The Lombard Risk regulatory reporting solution is used by more than 250 firms around the world; over 40% of the UK-based financial institutions use it to submit FSA and Bank of England returns; and last year Lombard Risk saw 30+ firms use its regulatory reporting, with LISA for liquidity scenario analysis, to meet the FSA's tough new liquidity regulations.
The following is a blog from Joe Colantonio about "performance testing basics-four steps to performance Nirvana"
We all know that performance testing can be frustrating. So many things can go wrong, and many of them are hard to find. No worries. Take a deep breath. Breathe in and Breathe out. Become one with your favorite performance test tool and follow these four steps to experience performance nirvana.
Run & Measure it Confirm it Examine it Tune it
Fire off your tests and make sure you're getting repeatable results. NEVER go by the results of just one test. Going by the results of one test is like watching just one quarter of a football game and thinking you know who won the game. Bad idea. You want to run at least three sets of the same exact test without changes before comparing results.
After running the same exact test many times, take a look at the results and ensure that each run had approximately the same results. If they are not roughly the same, stop and find the cause. This is key, because if your results have more than a 5% difference between them and you make a tuning change, you wouldn't be able to determine whether change helped or not – since your baseline is unpredictable to start with. For my first round of testing, I usually start with brief, 15 minute, one & three user tests.

The following article is a press release from marketwire about performance testing by AMAX.
"AMAX ( www.amax.com ), the leading provider of high performance computing (HPC) and comprehensive virtualization solutions, announced at its booth # 553 during VMworld 2011, the joint collaboration with VMware to extensively test and validate a virtualized Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). VMworld, one of the largest virtualization-focused events of the year, is taking place at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.
High performance virtualized file systems are vital to organizations looking to achieve scalability, increase performance, and continually accelerate innovation. With rapid adoption of virtualization technology and the massive increase in popularity of Hadoop HDFS, organizations are truly able to lower costs and increase file system reliability of their virtualized IT infrastructure. Design expertise and implementation continues to be a dilemma for those looking for a performance optimized reliable way to store large files and run work across multiple nodes.
The following is a good article about load testing and stress testing from webperformance.
"The Client With more than 45,000 members, New York Road Runners (NYRR) is one of the world's leading running organizations. NYRR runs a year-round calendar of more than fifty races, including the famed ING New York City Marathon. Web Performance has performed NYRR's load-testing services for the last three race seasons, each time ensuring the websites and servers designed to handle New York City Marathon traffic are in the same peak condition as the runners themselves.
The Situation To help site visitors follow the runners' progress during a race, Web Performance set up the NYRR application to interface with Google Maps. This up-to-the-minute functionality, combined with an enormous amount of traffic over a very short duration, means the New York City Marathon site falls into one of the worst-case scenarios for server load and website performance.
The following article is from The BrowserMob Blog about load testing.
"Stay in the driver's seat and in control! When launching a new website or application there are many things to consider to get ready to go "live" – and one of the most important aspects is load testing.
Simply put, load testing helps you determine how many customers the website or application will support – before you potentially find out the hard way (i.e. when users actually come to your site and you have to scramble to make last minute capacity improvements).

The following is an article by Matt Perdeck from ASP.net performance.
"This series Load testing web sites with StresStimulus, part 1 - Getting started Load testing web sites with StresStimulus, part 2 - Advanced features Introduction It is a good idea to load test your web site before taking it live, to make sure it won't break or perform poorly under load. Unfortunately, load testing tools are either very expensive or hard to use, or both (my book ASP.NET Site Performance Secrets discusses two load testing tools, WCAT and Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate). A new load testing tool, StresStimulus, is claiming to change all this.
StresStimulus is a fairly simple load tester that integrates directly into Fiddler, a free tool that lets you inspect HTTP messages going to and from your browser. As you will see in this article, that makes it easy to record load testing sessions and to inspect message generated by StresStimulus and their responses from your site. Additionally, it correctly handles hidden fields such as ViewState, which makes it attractive for load testing classic ASP.NET web sites.
This article first lists the features of StresStimulus, and then shows how to get started with your first load test. Part 2 goes into more advanced topics such as parameterization.

The following is posted by Katherine Meyer on website V3im.com. It is an article about load testing. "Does your load time measure up"
"So you have a super cool website with great content, a simple and well organized structure, killer graphics and search engine optimized content?
While all this is great, one of the most important things (aside from making sure your SEO is spot on) is your site load time. We cannot say it enough – check to make sure site isn't going to under perform because it takes forever to load.
I know, I know. We wrote about this a few weeks ago but we can't stress enough how important site load time is to a good user experience.
I saw a stat that actually inspired this post: 47% of consumers expect a website to load in two seconds or less. Even more compelling, if it takes longer than three seconds for your site to load you could be looking at a 40% consumer abandonment rate. Which is potentially a lot of business leaving your site for a faster, but maybe not better competitor. So let's make a pact, please promise to add a website load test to your regular maintenance routine for your site and we promise to stop talking about this…for now.
This article was written by Christopher Merrill, from Web Performance, about scenarios for load testing.
"This article discusses how to build a portfolio of scenarios for load testing automation. You have rarely only a single scenario to test, so you have to decide which scenarios to include in your test plans. Criticality, frequency, difficulty and verifiability are the four key factors that should be considered to determine the scenarios to automate.
Author: Christopher Merrill, Web Performance Originally published in September 2010 on Web Performance Blog
What to test?
Occasionally, we encounter customers who have only a single scenario to test. For example, one client developed an application in which the only scenario of interest involved a user registering him/herself with the system and scheduling an appointment. When this happens, the tester may devote their efforts to the accurate simulation, testing and analysis of this single scenario. You are unlikely to be so lucky.
In any moderately complex system, there are dozens or even hundreds of scenarios that are candidates for load testing. You are not likely to have the time or resources to test them all. As a result, you must make some tough decisions about which scenarios will be included in the test plans.
There are a number of key factors that will raise or lower the importance of each scenario:
The following is an article, written by Kevin Shalvey, for Investors Business Daily.
"Keynote Systems (KEYN) has gained from the sale of its top competitor, as well as its mobile push.
Compuware (CPWR) bought Keynote's archrival Gomez in late 2009 for $295 million, and Keynote investors were keen to track what the new owner would do with it.
But instead of ramping up Gomez, Compuware seemed to step back, says Curtis Shauger, an analyst with Caris & Co.
"The behavior of Gomez after the acquisition has been a de-escalation of price competition," Shauger said. "That's allowed (Keynote) to more fully benefit from the more fundamental growth of the Internet, where they had been losing (market) share to Gomez the last several years."
Gomez's services have been expanded since the acquisition, responds Mark Hillman, vice president of strategy for Compuware. He says the company is seeking new customers for its "load testing" services, which predict how websites will handle future traffic.
Keynote, too, tracks how fast websites load and perform — both on conventional computers and on mobile devices — for corporate and other enterprise clients. This business, what it calls its Internet business, accounts for more than half of its total sales.
But Keynote began its mobile push about five years ago, and now that business accounts for almost half of its revenue.
A press release, from Business Wire, says " OpSource launches validated Cloud Solutions program and certifies fourteen cloud applications."
"OpSource expands partner program to bring enterprise-class solutions to market quickly. OpSource, Inc., the leader in enterprise cloud and managed hosting, today announced its Validated Cloud Solutions Program, naming an initial set of 14 partners that are leveraging the OpSource platform to deliver enterprise-class cloud-based services.

The following is an article from EMC. The website for EMC is www.EMC.com.
"EMC Corporation EMC +2.73% , the number one choice of customers for information infrastructure in VMware virtual and cloud environments according to a recent Wikibon survey, today announced that it has shattered the performance limits it previously set for storage throughput and bandwidth in a VMware vSphere® 5 environment. With performance and scalability parameters now stretched out even further, EMC is accelerating customers' journey to the cloud by removing potential performance-oriented barriers for organizations as they virtualize their mission critical applications.
The following is another good article from BrowserMob about load testing.
"Several holiday seasons ago, Shopatron experienced a number of challenges in dealing with their own success. In the words of Dave Cumberland, VP of engineering. "There were too many times when we just held our breath, hoping we could handle loads 2 to 10 times larger than expected," he said. "We needed to up our game." Building Confidence through Load Testing To gear up for the 2010 holiday rush, Cumberland chose to load test with BrowserMob, a Neustar Service. He focused on how new website features, for example changes to checkout, withstood the kind of increased volume November and December bring. "We target 99.999% uptime," said Cumberland, "along with average page loads of 2.5 seconds. BrowserMob allowed us to test each website feature under really high loads. We started by using a model of expected user behavior—consumers, manufacturers, and retailers—and testing features individually for each type of traffic. We see higher traffic at certain times of the day, so that was a factor too. We tested lots and lots of scenarios and finally, to be really sure, ran a 'perfect storm' scenario with traffic spikes from all our users."
The following is a good article from browsermob.com., written by Joel Weierman, about load testing best practices.
"We just wrapped up our five-part Load Testing Best Practices series. We hope you find these steps simple and convenient as you embark on your next load test.
Planning When planning a load test, make certain you take all variables into account. For instance, before you load test a website or application, you should ask yourself the following: How much load should I test with (stress test vs. load test)? How many tests should I run? Should I test on a real or virtual browser? Once you have answered these, you will be ready to start and configure your test.
Configuration Configuring your load test is particularly important. Load tests vary depending on where your traffic comes from and how many users your website sees daily. By working through this during the configuration phase, you will determine whether you need to run a high volume or low volume test, and you can move into scripting.
Scripting Websites and potential scenarios have become increasingly complex, making load test scripting more complex as well. Therefore, it's important to make your comprehensive script organized, robust and reusable. Once scripting is complete, you can execute your load test.
neustar Insights, in Webmetrics Performance, has a good article written by Erin Bush about load testing. It is as follows:
"Ahh load testing. We all know we need to do it, but how many of us–especially those of us with relatively small sites–actually do it? Testing allows you to determine how many customers your website or application will support–before you find out the hard way (when users hit your site, crash it, and you have to scramble to make last minute capacity improvements).
I have to admit that once during my tenure as a web product manager, I didn't test a redesigned site before it went live. At all. (Ack, did I just say that out loud?) I'm sure you can image that the result was not pretty. I had 48 hours of up and down time while I incrementally upgraded my hosting service to allow for the traffic load. True story.
I'm no longer in charge of such things, but I can tell you, I'd never make that mistake again.
Even high-profile sites can crash under traffic pressure. Just yesterday, SxSW launched their much-anticipated and annually recurring Panel Picker. This is the platform on which they ingeniously allow the interested crowd to source (at least partially) their panel choices for the conference. The site went up at 4pm EST and an hour later, it was down.
SV-Load Test Service has a good article on load testing. The link to their website is www.scivisum.co .uk/web-load-testing-service.
"SciVisum Load Testing Service gives you access to expert testers with specialist knowledge to spot problems quickly and provide insights into the root causes of problems. SciVisum's Load Testing Service offers guaranteed expansive and complex testing sessions often unobtainable from self-servicing due to departmental time constraints.

An article by Simon Brown, on codingthearchitechure.com website, is about load testing for developers.
"September sees me picking up the travel baton again and one of the things I'm doing is a half-day session at the Skills Matter Progressive .NET Tutorials in London on the 6th.
The session is called Load Testing for Developers and it's exactly what it says on the tin ... an introduction to load testing for developers. You can be as progressive as you like with the .NET platform, but performance and scalability problems can still rear their ugly heads regardless of the technology you're using.
Have you ever built a software system and your users have complained that it's too slow? I have; debugging live performance and scalability issues with business sponsors watching over your shoulder isn't fun! Load testing is an often forgotten and seemingly difficult task that many people shy away from but a basic level of load testing is often enough to give you confidence that you've satisfied expectations regarding performance and scalability. This tutorial will look at how to load test your website and you'll learn: What load testing is all about. How to implement a load testing script using the free and open source Apache JMeter tool. How to run a load test and monitor the environment (the load testing client and your website server environment).
The following article written by Gregory Milby, on the Attacker.com website, is about the Apache Benchmark load testing tool.
"Apache has a great load testing tool that appears to rival the best out there. It can test against concurrent connections, number of loads per connection, and give understandable results – actually useful! Anyone who develops wants to know how much stress (how many visitors) their application can withstand and how it will perform under a real world load. My OS is Ubuntu (Natty atm), and apt makes it easy to install by just typing: gmilby@mini64:~/Dropbox$ sudo apt-get install apache2-utils 1. Number of simulated connections – this simulates the number of visitors to your webapp, and if there are bugs and code errors, it will result to a very poor performance in actual deployment which can slowed down if there are a lot of users in your website.

ProsThe price offered is below any other offer for this model. ConsThere are no reasons to avoid this car.
For A Truly Amazing Ride, Choose This Audi. — There is nothing like a German made vehicle. Japanese made cars can't compare. This car handles the road like a race car would. The acceleration is so smooth when entering a highway. It's an awesome car and fun to drive. The body of the car is heavier than that of a Honda or a Toyota. This model Audi was made for 3 years only and I've had no problem with it. Primary Use: Commuting to work

2003 Audi A6
ProsPretty much everything about it ConsAudi servicing is expensive
Audi A6 Vorsprung Durch Technik And A Smile On Your Face — Svelte comfortable extremely well built has done 115,000 miles and feels like new. It's a 1.9 Turbo diesel and for such a large car it goes like a greased weasel. Can fit 3 kids in the back with 2 child seats! Or 3 large-ish adults all in comfort. The boot is so cavernous I was thinking of renting out rooms in it. |

2003 Audi A6 3.0 Quattro
ProsLooks, build quality, handling, traction ConsHeavy steering compared to a rear wheel drive, good but not great power.
Audi A6 Is A Winner — Great looks, ride, handling, traction in wet or snowy conditions. The car is built so well, both inside and out. The materials, fit and finish, and realibility have been excellent. Service is not cheap, but I have needed very little of it luckily. Hard to think of what I don't like....uh...somewhat heavy steering due to all wheel drive; power is good but not mind-blowing by any means....that's about it. Oh, and the gas mileage is just so-so....averages 18.3. |
2003 Audi A6
Prosits an audi what more can i say Conscost £8500 to buy and is pricey to insure thats about it
Fantastic Car — performance - 1.9 TDI 130 bhp when the turbo kicks in it takes off i love the power it has build quaility - being german and not that old it is solid every now and then there is a screech from the bonnet but goes in seconds other than that for a car with 126k on the clock it is german engineering at its finest appearance - there are a few stone chips and 1 or 2 scratches but other than that it is perfect and looks fantastic cost - cost me £8500 and about £150 on fuel a month but being diesel it is very good does about 35 - 40 miles per gallon fun factor - well considering the car i had before this was a 10 year old vectra this is just perfection i love the power and speed and it has all the mod cons ie: heated seats leather interior climate control trip computer cruise control multi disk cd changer and much more i will be keeping this car for a long time yet and plan to replace it only with an audi Q7 3.0 TDI (when i can afford it lol) |
2003 Audi A6
ProsLuxurios interior, sturdy, safety features ConsPerformance, market depreciation
The Gentle Giant — Even though I haven't driven an A6 with European specifications, I find that the model sold in Asian markets (more specifically Malaysia) are toned down models of the original Audi A6. When this model was released there, the only options avalaible was the 1.8T and the 2.4 models. This makes the car feels slightly underpowered and heavy. The 1.8T model scored a figure of 120 hp on whells on a conducted dyno test. Even though i did not managed to get a torque value due to technical complications, the car did manage to score good points on throttle response. The car showed good response from 0-100 hp on the dyno test. The 6 speed multitronic CVT transmission on this particular model can be a let down if you looking at driving the car aggresively. The shifting on the gears (on shiftronic/multitronic modes) are rather slow as compared the BMW 523i model of that current year. On the plus side, the transmission does comes with a sports mode which allows the car to maintain optimum revs without the feel of gear shifts in the given mode. Despite a slight blow to it's performance figures, the 2004 1.8t A6 is has relatively low fuel consumption and comfortable to drive in. The smaller engine of this version paired with it's transmission puts the A6 on par with the smaller, lighter 2005 1.7 Civic VTS. Besides that, the A6 is built sturdy and spacious. Along with Audi's great interior designs (espcially in black) the car is really comfortable to be in. Even the suspension is designed for comfort even if driving at speeds of around 120 km/h. Despite it's sturdy design, the car comes with a good assortment of safety features. The main highlight of its safety features is that the car comes with ESP (electronic stability program) which works like an enhanced ABS (anti-lock brake system) and TCS (traction control system) systems. The A6 also comes with 6 air bags which adds to the security of the passangers when it comes to a car crash. Overall, the 2004 1.8T Audi A6 is a good car to drive in. Despite the let down in its performance, the car makes up for it in its comfort, fuel economy, safety, and luxurios interior designs making this car a good run for the money. |
2003 Audi A6 3.0 Quattro
ProsI love the style and performance ConsNot great for large families

2003 Audi A6 2.7T Quattro
ProsQuality and design ConsBig car feel
Excellent — Owned for three years No problems except computer malfunction replaced through extended warranty. As a 6 speed manual 2.7T the car is fast and responsive. The design is the best and the finish is Audi first class. Cost of ownership and gas milage is reasonable for a car of this caliber.

The IsatPhone PRO is the economy-model satellite phone by Inmarsat. It does not offer GPS features or a one-press "emergency" button like the IsatPhone 2, but it offers the same voice, SMS texting, and 2400 data with nearly global coverage excluding the polar caps. The IsatPhone PRO includes built in GPS and if you are in trouble, you can send a GPS-enabled text or email message to a pre-configured list of friends by simply entering a short dial code. There are many optional accessories for the IsatPhone PRO including docking stations for indoor, vehicular or marine applications.
* The IsatPhone PRO is recommended for use inside the dashed gold contour line. Outside that region, the Inmarsat I-4 satellites used by the phone are below 20 degrees elevation above the horizon. Terrain masking can block the satellite signal even inside the 20 degree elevation contour line if you are near tall mountains, trees, or buildings. The battery performance stated above is based on typical performance at room temperature but actual performance can be affected by temperature, screen brightness setting, and other factors.

Location: Beverly Hills
Judge: Wolfgang Puck
This was the main event of the evening in my mind, as we saw Wolfgang Puck in action as a regular judge — and he killed it, quashing the culinary world's doubts about his performance. (By the way, I don't think anyone doubted or cared, just wanted to raise the stakes a little). In addition to spouting great quotables -- "When it comes to judging, I think I'm an easy guy as long as they do it exactly the way I want it" -- he seemed to care for the chefs, and also, thank goodness, he eliminated someone who might have annoyed us all season.
Wolfgang presented another deceptively simple challenge: the perfect omelet. He told a story from his youth, when an early mentor said his olive oil-drenched omelet was "like shitting in your own bed." He would bring those same standards to the contestants' eggs. Those better be damn good omelets.
Carla Pellegrino, ex-wife of Frank Pellegrino and chef/owner of Bacio, looked as though she took a wrong turn in the Bravo offices on the way to a Real Housewives of New Jersey audition. She declared out of her puckered mouth, "I am loud. I'm pretty sure if you ask some people they would call me a bitch when I turn my back. I would call me a bitch, too, sometimes." I'm pretty sure Teresa Giudice has been heard saying the exactly same thing at least 37 times over the course of Real Housewives. Her Mediterranean omelet got a little messed up, but she covered it with an arugula salad, prompting Wolfgang to say, "It looks like a woman with a lot of makeup on." Actually, Carla was the sole target of Wolfgang's borderline misogynistic comments all night, including, "This stove is like a woman, it never does what it's supposed to do." Carla looks like she could cut a bitch, so tread lightly, Wolfgang. You may have saved yourself by letting her through.
Another character arose in Wolfgang's group: Kumiko Yagi may be my favorite so far. She looks as though she's seen many a terrifying ghost children in her haunted Japanese house, but the cutest moment of the night was when Kumiko told Wolfgang, "I want to drink the coffee in Seattle." I'm rooting for her to prove her disapproving parents wrong. Her chamomile-infused morel and ham omelet looked a little too elaborate, but Wolfgang approved. You go, Kumiko!
I also loved handsome chatty gay Tyler Wiard, who also hid the flaws in his eggs with a salad garnish. The resulting bacon, shallot, and asparagus omelet looked a little sad to me, but Wolfgang thought the crispy fingerling potatoes saved the day.
Eliza Gavin also had a couple of make-it-work moments. First, Wolfgang told her he was craving red meat, so Eliza had to deliver. Then, she'd used all her ingredients in her test omelet, which seemed like a silly mistake, and had to dump the egg-covered veggies into a new omelet. That looked like it could be a disaster, but Wolfgang liked the "complicated" and "tasty" results.
Chrissy Camba seemed to have more serious issues. Her Filipino torta omelet with lobster claw, bacon, and caramelized (Bravo seems to think it's "carmelized" -- I expect a lively debate in the comments) onions "needed more salt," according to Wolfgang. Salt levels are make-it-or-break-it on Top Chef, but Wolfgang appreciated seeing Chrissy's heritage in her eggs.
Last and perhaps least was Daniel O'Brien of Seasonal Pantry in Washington, D.C. Even before he opened his mouth, I could tell he was super arrogant, but I didn't mind that much if he could bring the goods. But when he called Kumiko "origami," he was dead to me. Daniel made a misstep by leaving a residue of bacon grease on his omelet. Wolfgang said if he'd eaten the omelet in the dark he would have liked it, but the presentation alone was enough to send him home. Ouch.

Born | Denton, Texas |
June 25, 1949
Alma mater | University of North Texas Texas Christian University |
Occupation | Sportscaster, actress, First Lady of Kentucky from 1979 to 1983. |
Predecessor | Pamela Eldred |
Successor | Laurie Lea Schaefer |
Spouse(s) | Robert Evans (1977-1978) John Y. Brown, Jr. (1979-1998) |
Children | 2 |
Phyllis Ann George Brown (born June 25, 1949) is an American businesswoman, actress, and former sportscaster. She is a former Miss Texas 1970 and Miss America 1971 and was First Lady of Kentucky from 1979 to 1983.
Early life[edit]
George was born to Diantha Cogdell and James George in Denton, Texas.[1] She attended the University of North Texas for three years until crowned Miss Texas in 1971.[2] At that time, Texas Christian University awarded scholarships to Miss Texas honorees. As a result, Phyllis left UNT and enrolled at TCU for several weeks until winning the Miss America crown later that fall. She is a member of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority. George won the 1970 Miss America pageant.
In her year-long stint as Miss America, George appeared on numerous talk shows, including three interviews on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.[2]
CBS Sports[edit]
CBS Sports producers approached George to become a sportscaster in 1974. The following year, she joined the cast of The NFL Today, co-hosting live pregame shows before National Football League (NFL) games.[3] She was one of the first females to have a nationally prominent role in television sports coverage.[4]
Another duty George had with CBS Sports was working on horse racing events, including the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes.[5] Additionally, George had a brief stint on a television news version of People in 1978[6] and a job as a morning television talk show host as co-anchor of the CBS Morning News in 1985.[7] Since that time, she has sporadically returned to the media spotlight, hosting her own prime-time talk show, 1994's A Phyllis George Special, on which she interviewed then-President Bill Clinton, and a 1998 talk show called Women's Day on the cable network Pax. George also appeared as a guest star on The Muppet Show in 1979.
CBS Morning News[edit]
In 1985, CBS settled on Phyllis George to serve as a permanent anchor for their morning news program. George was given a three-year contract following a two-week trial run.[8] As co-anchor, she interviewed newsmakers including then–First Lady Nancy Reagan.
Business interests[edit]
George has founded two companies in her business career, the first of which was "By George" chicken fillets. In 1988 after operating for only two years, George sold the company to consumer giant, Hormel Foods, which agreed to operate it as a separate division.[9] In 1991 George received the "Celebrity Women Business Owner of the Year" from the National Association of Women Business Owners.[10]
In 2003 George created Phyllis George Beauty which markets a line of cosmetics and skincare through television shopping network HSN.[11][12]
She has also written or co-authored five books—three about crafts, one on dieting (her first book, The I Love America Diet-1982) and her most recent, Never Say Never (2002).[13]
Personal life[edit]
George was previously married to Robert Evans,[14] and to former Kentucky Governor, John Y. Brown, Jr., and served as Kentucky's First Lady during Brown's term as Governor. During her marriage to Brown, she had two children,[15] including television reporter, Pamela Ashley Brown,[16]
George was the founder of the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft,[17] and is an avid folk and traditional arts collector. George resurfaced in 2000 when she played a minor character in the hit movie Meet the Parents.[18] It was one of her very few film roles.
On January 28, 2007, reporter Howard Fineman said on The Chris Matthews Show that George had moved back to Kentucky and was considering entering politics with either a run for governor in 2007 or a Senate race against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in 2008.[19] She is a founding board member of the Henry Clay Center for Statesmanship.
On October 3, 2009, Verne Lundquist of CBS Sports said during the broadcast of the LSU at Georgia football game that George had moved to Athens, Georgia.

The role of the hero who has been in the belly of the beast and emerged to slay it seems to be psychologically rewarding,* because people keep trying to claim it for themselves. Like this Geoffrey Tomes gentleman, who bared his soul to tell DealBook that he "was selling JPMorgan funds that often had weak performance records, and I was doing it for no other reason than to enrich the firm." You imagine him racing to tell DealBook about this revelation, imagining his welcome into the Greg Smith Hall of Heroes, and being a little disappointed that everyone was all "wait, what, did anyone on earth not know that was exactly what you were doing? Why did they think you were pushing JPMorgan products? That's what banks do."
Similarly there is a certain amount of "duh, obvs" to the recently unsealed documents in the lawsuit over the Cheyne SIV. But they're still funny. Cheyne was a conduit stuffed with mortgages and home equity loans that exploded in the face of some people, who are now suing Morgan Stanley, who built it, and the rating agencies, who did sort of a not-so-great job of kicking its tires. From their filing unsealed yesterday: Read more »

Kerry Katona says rehab is 'like Butlins'
Obviously the temptation to ask in what sense? is just too great. Is Paul Shane there now? Katona's last trip to rehab was in March, when she was heavily pregnant and citing "depression". Because, of course, rehab's sure to cheer up even the gloomiest celeb. In her upcoming MTV one-off called *shudder* "Kerry Katona: The After Birth" she'll discuss how she uses The Priory to "recharge". She insists: "It had nothing to do with drink or drugs. It's like a holiday camp at The Priory, it's like going to Butlins for the weekend." Butlins is cheaper, you know.

Have several rhizomes of this very large growing heliconia. This is a fast grower, gets very large, needs space. Not suitable for container growing, this needs to go to Central/South Florida or Puerto Rico. Original plant was obtained as a single rhizome start at the Fairchild Gardens Ramble in Miami in 2002. Bloomed for the first time in late 2004. I don't have a photo of the bloom but it looks like the typical overlapping fan shaped inflo or Caribaeas in general and is a red color with a distinct purplish cast. The rhizomes are large and heavy, in excess of a pound each, some close to 2 lbs each, fresh dug this morning. Shelf life is about 2-3 weeks. If you want some, email with trade! Check my trade page to see what I already have. My "want" list is more like a "pipe dream" list so don't be afraid to make an offer. |

First Protest

Just got back home from the rally in Albany NY
It was the biggest event I've seen for a protest in my time here on the capital, some great speeches, as well as a ton of liberty loving patriots.My guess is at minimum 2500 people, of course the only media that showed was YNN (remember the revolution will not be televised. This event was also not even really promoted, I found out about it through here and decided to search a bit more. Overall the crowd was fairly mixed, and so was the message from the speakers. Some speakers calling for Political action to fix the process, others more libertarian minded pointing out that's what got us in this problem in the first place. Overall though I think people are really starting to wake up a bit, I was wondering when I'd see numbers like this (especially for being in the capital of NY), and I'd say I was quite impressed.
I left feeling fairly more optimistic about the future, not that I think anything will change politically, but more so in the means of organizing a rebellion when that time comes for the next revolution. Met some great people, notiable speech goes to some representative from Saratoga telling everyone about how during the first revolutionary war, the shear number of patriots that came out to fight the tyranical British in Saratoga was almost unexpected and was absolutely impressive considering the type of communication they had back then. No cellphones, Internet, radio's, etc., He noted that it doesn't take much to organize a rebellion in the face of tyranny, considered we sign up for liberty message boards to keep better communications for organizing for when these times come again here. Also someone gave a great Barry Goldwater Speech,as well as a speech on Nullification.
I'm sorry I left without my camera today, but I'm sure videos will make their way onto the internet for everyone. It was a great rally, and It gave me some much needed optimism that at least a very large % of us are willing to stand up to these tyranical government thugs.
I just can't wait to get the hell out of NY as soon as I can, in the meantime I'm going to fight the battle here in the trenches.

Not going to Happen
I am waiting for a Ruger break down barrel 10-22. It is over 1 month late. I was also informed my 22 long rifle ammo I wanted in two 500 piece bricks was not available and no one in my area even has 22 long rifle cartrages and my local supplier says he may not be able to get any. WhY! Government contracts for the social security department, NOAA, homeland security and many other agencies. Getting pretty damn bad when you cannot even get 22 ammo.

Green people out in droves. Lines all over. Covers for bars that normally are empty. Couples fighting wearing green antlers and shot glass necklaces…normal? On Hoboken St. Patty's (or Leprecon), it is.
While a lot of Hoboken residents complain about this type of debauchery, I can't lie - if you're in the right mood and with the right people, it's not horrible. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!
Last year I wasn't into it, this year, I found myself enjoying it a little bit more, especially with some fabulous friends in town. There are some tricks of the trade, however, which comes with experience. In my 26 years (and 5 years being of age), I've discovered a few things while frolicking in green all around the city. Let's just say I'm a seasoned St. Patrick's Day Celebrator:
1. Eat a Big Carboloaded Breakfast
First stop? Green eggs and some Irish soda bread with The Bloginista. You MUST eat beforehand. It's a rule. Heavy on the bread. Not going gluten free on Leprecon, that's for sure. I'm glad I have friends who like to make breakfast…
2. Try to Not to Be Ridiculous and Go Crazy within the First 4 Hours.
I was out most of the day at several house parties and bars, but lasted the whole day with no hiccups…literally. Impressed?
Well, except when we start a limbo at Kolo Klub. Oops.
3. Hydrate. And Eat. Again.
Water, Cocktail, Water, Cocktail. FOOD.
4. Drink in Moderation, Part 2.
House party alternated with bar means that you have to break from guzzling cocktails in order to navigate your way to the next location. Going from Pilsener Haus to a party on 1st and Willow meant a nice breath of fresh air and refreshment from the crazy Kolo Klub that we had just left. Definitely a plus. I'd also opt AWAY from shots if I were you. Liquor + day drinking never mix.
5. Whatever You Do, Don't Pee on CDs at Tunes.
Seriously, some idiot drunk girl actually did this yesterday. REALLY? Come on. It totally gives the rest of us who partake responsibly a bad name. What an idiot. CDs have a hard enough time getting sold withOUT pee on them.
6. Eat a Good Dinner.
Depending on who you're with, you can eat at a nice place or more of a dive/fast food joint. We were all in relatively good shape around 6pm, so we opted for a delicious Italian dinner at Grimaldi's, one of my favorites. It was soooo good. I ordered a calzone, and lots of pizza was shared.
6. Don't Be Stupid. I Repeat, Don't Be Stupid.
SWAT team was here just in case. 7 arrests by 6pm.
Better than last year as far as arrests go, but just don't be dumb and get a $2000 fine.
7. Don't Wear Sunglasses at Night
It makes you look drunk. Bouncers will be watching. In general, I always opt for a hint of green, not a full out green suit. Like the girl I saw wearing a legitimate full-body shamrock outfit. It's all about moderation on Leprecon day…isn't it?
8. Go to Bed at a Reasonable Hour
The darker it is, the more creepy stuff that goes on. Make sure you are safe and sound inside before it's too late out. Let's say 9pm is the witching hour. I was in my pjs by 10pm – that's a record for even a weeknight! How about you?
9. Get a Delicious Brunch in the AM
Brunch is a must. Recap + delicious food = necessity. We ate uptown at Turning Point, right on the water. Since we got there early (930, I know, who ARE we? there was barely a line). By the time we left, it would have been an hour to wait. Make sure you go early!
How did you survive Leprecon? Did you partake in festivities?

Is this really a med error?
0Jan 11, '13 by gemini14Hi!
I work at at Methadone Center. Mon 6AM the 2 RNs (myself included) attempted multiple times to open our safe and retrieve the necessary medication to begin our daily doing of outpatient clients (they call them clients rather than patients here). After multiple attempts by both nurses, we were unable to unlock safe. We contacted our supervisor at home via cell and were given instructions to contact a locksmith and have them come ASAP to open the safe. The locksmith arrived at approx 06:40, by 0930 they had opened the safe and we began our routine of daily doing. Clients that had arrived while safe was NOT open were informed of situation, given the clinics number, instructed to call back to see when/if safe was open and they could return to dose later in the day. At the end of our work day, 2 clients had called to let us know that they would not be able to make it back to clinic- two never informed us of their decision to not return that day. This information was communicated to DON by our supervisor. She (the DON) then insisted that we were to fill out medication error forms for these clients. We told our supervisor that we would be very glad to fill out whatever Occurrence/Incident form they desired to document what had happened that day, but would not fill out med errors as we did not believe there was a med error! Our supervisor informed me that the DON had told him it would be insubordination if we do not fill out a med error for each client that did not dose on Moneday., and I quote, "Any beginning nurse know that this is a med error"- I have been a nurse for >29yrs, my co-worker have been a RN for approx the same # of years. I guess my question is....IS THIS A MED ERROR? WOULD YOU SIGN ONE? WHAT SHOULD WE DO? She expects this from us on Moneday. Help!!! -
Poll: Is this a med error?
3 Votes / Multiple Choice -
0Jan 11, '13 by eatmysoxRNIt doesn't seem like a med error to me. Why should a faulty safe deem you worthy of incurring a med error, especially when you gave the clients the option of returning later?
~ No One Can Make You Feel Inferior Without Your Consent -Eleanor Roosevelt ~ -
0Jan 11, '13 by narcolepticnurseThat is not a med error anymore than my not giving a patient a medication because he/she had left the building with family for a few hours is a med error. A med error implies that the problem could have been prevented by you, which is clearly not the case here. I think it would be reasonable to ask to talk to the DON yourself before filling out any paperwork beyond an incident report. I've found that sometimes managers invoke the DON's name whenever they want to add weight to whatever it is they're saying, even if the DON would actually not agree with them. I'd like to think that's the case here.
There's also the possibility that a regulating agency might cite the clinic for the safe not opening. I say that because when I worked in rehab, if a patient with an alarm of any kind got out of bed and fell without the alarm going off, heaven forbid we actually chart that the alarm didn't go off! Surveyors don't like that sort of thing, so something similar may be going on here. It might explain the, "Well duh, of course that's a med error, why don't you know that?" line. The effect would be to make you feel awkward and stupid, on top of the fear of being written up, which would ideally just make you shut up and do it.
Or, they're both just clueless.
I wouldn't fill out a med error form in either case. If they continue to push it, is there a grievance procedure you can follow? -
0Jan 22, '13 by Heather C HawkinsQuote from ERloverRNIt would be an omission d/t faulty safe! Not a med error.it is a med error because I believe you said four people did not get the medication on time? Not at the fault of you.
I would ask why they believe it is a med error? -
1Jan 22, '13 by JaadeIt's a med error, the doses were missed. Med errors do not have to be the nurse's fault. We frequently have to chart "med not available" as a reason for missed/late doses when the pharmacy can't bring things up right away. Those are errors in med administration, but they aren't blamed in the nurses.NevadaFighter likes this.

Bradley County Sheriff's Office deputies and detectives were investigating a number of vehicle burglaries today that reportedly occurred during the night in the Belleview Drive area.
According to 911 reports, Deputy Anthony Liner was filing reports regarding the break-ins.
Additional information will be published as it becomes available.
- Cleveland Police are searching for the identity of a man who broke into a local pub and a coin box from a gaming machine.
On June 26, security cameras captured the man entering the Talk of the Town, located at 2330 Georgetown Road, according to Detective Bill Parks of the Cleveland Police Department Criminal Investigations Division.
Parks said the man ran through the bar and took the coin box, which reportedly contained no money inside.
The suspect appeared to be balding, between 5 feet, 8 inches or 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighing approximately 200 pounds. Parks said the suspect was wearing glasses and had an arm band on his upper right arm.
Parks believed the arm band was used to hold a cell phone or iPod device.
Anyone able to identify the suspect can contact Detective Bill Parks at 559-3321.
- Hand tools and other supplies were taken during a break-in at a 3rd Street N.W. address.
According to a report filed by Deputy Jasper McDonald, someone entered his rental property, which was vacant, and took a shop vacuum, a pressure washer, an assortment of hand tools, cleaning supplies and two step ladders.
McDonald noted pry marks on a door where the perpetrator allegedly gained entry to the house.
The loss was estimated at $520.
Investigation is continuing.

Really Smart Photos with OnOne and Aperture
The advantage of Aperture's Round Trip is that it keeps all your work packaged up neatly in an easy-to-handle Library. One of the disadvantages is that many of the plug-ins that work with Aperture's Library also fix their results permanently upon exit.
