Scientists Work To Create Laser 'Tractor Beam'
The tractor beam — a tool popularized in the realm of science fiction — has been slowly making its way into the realm of reality, where beams of light are used to pull objects back toward the source of the light, BBC News reports.
In a paper published online, researchers from Hong Kong and China have analyzed and calculated the conditions required to create a tractor beam, or in reality, a laser-based "pull."
Unlike the ones popularized in science fiction — most notably Star Trek — the approach would only work over very small distances.
Last year, a team of Australian scientists used a hollow laser beam to move small particles through the air. Because the system requires air, it would not work in space, making it practically useless.
But in the latest development from the researchers in Hong Kong and China, a special laser, known as a Bessel beam, could slowly drag an object backward but only if the beam catches the object at an angle.
Far from being able to transport a vehicle from one location to another some 1,500 feet away or more, the laser-powered tractor beam can only work on smaller particles over much smaller distances.
The effect is different from that employed in "optical tweezers" approaches, in which tiny objects can be trapped in the focus of a laser beam and moved around, the new force, the authors suggest, would be one continuous pull toward the source.
The approach also relies on directly encroaching on an object, making it distinct from an approach demonstrated in 2010 by the Australian research.
Seen from a straight-on point-of-view, a Bessel beam would look like the ripples surrounding a pebble dropped into water. If such a Bessel beam was to encounter an object not head-on but at a glancing angle, the backward force can be stimulated.
As the atoms or molecules of the target absorb and re-radiate the incoming light, the fraction re-radiated forward along the beam direction can interfere and give the object a "push" toward the source.
"Light can indeed pull a particle," Jun Chen, Jack Ng, Zhifang Lin and C.T. Chan wrote in their paper on the subject. "This may open up new avenues for optical micromanipulation, of which typical examples include transporting a particle backward over a long distance and particle sorting," they added.
Ortwin Hess, of the Imperial College London told BBC News that the work, which has yet to be peer-reviewed, was "fascinating," and said it "takes a radical idea forward."
"It's a bit like a boat moving through water," he said. "In the eddies you generate as part of that forward movement, there are areas that literally seem to be pulling back."
"The ship has a shape, and you get these backward eddies at the side; in a similar way if you have a Bessel beam you have certain areas that do the same thing," Hess added.
However, the effect is only predicted to occur over a short distance, and that the effect first of all needs to be demonstrated in practice, he noted.
"As always with theory, if one doesn't obtain a theoretical argument that things are impossible for some reason, then it can happen," said Hess.

At least 11 people were killed when violence erupted among prisoners in Mexico.
It happened in the state of San Luis Potosi.
Investigators say early Saturday, a group of inmates used homemade knives and picks to attack rivals at the La Pila Prison.
They were apparently fed up with alleged harassment by fellow inmates.
65 prisoners were hurt, some of them seriously.

Reviewed Mexican Chocolate Pecan Pie
Oct 24, 2010 in Food Network Community Toolbox on Food Network
"I saw this recipe yesterday and was so excited to try it today. My pies were terrible. The crusts were so wet from the 14 tablespoons of butter that they didn't bake correctly and they did not taste good at all. It was like eating chocolate covered pecans, there was no 'pie' in my pie crust. 6 cups of pecans and 3 sticks of butter was just too much..."

Does anyone know the difference between canned and cartoned coconut milk? Do you use in place of cow's milk in recipes with success?

From what I found, canned milk is pure coconut milk, while what i see in the packs is more like a coconut milk drink with lots of other ingridients. I did not try the packs, but the canned milk (i also found frozen in Asian stores) is not a good substitute, though it works well in dishes where it belongs - Asian dishes, smoothies, it is also OK in coffee. I normally drink black coffee, so i always forget to add it, but the taste is OK. The cartoned one is more likely to resemble cow milk (or soy milk) but i prefer a more natural product without sweeteners and other ingridients. I do not like the taste of coconuts too much, so i struggle to incorporate both milk and oil into my diet, but i feel that it does help with the weight loss. Strawberry smoothie with coconut milk is delicious.

Thanks Ingria this info is very helpful. You are right because my SO Delicious unsweetened coconut milk in the carton has added calcium and other ingredients. The carton tricked me by have a bold ingredient list of COCONUT. After reading what you said I found the other info. I am only using it in my coffee right now and love it. I also used the canned in an Asian dish of Red Curry shrimp and it was delicious. I might try the canned in my coffee instead. I am going to try a coconut smoothie this weekend.

I drink cartoned coconut milk, haven't tried canned one so can't say what's the difference. And yeah, I use in place of cow's milk in different recipes, I haven't noticed weight loss though I've heard it might help - this article for example
and this one
but I like the taste of coconut milk so much and it has many other health benefits

Since my initial reply I did try cartoned one (curiosity). While I think different brands would taste slightly differently, it does not really taste like coconut milk. If you look at the calorie count and ingredients you will understand why. It is very dilluted and has very low calorie count, while real coconut milk has a lot of fat and very high calorie count. If you would want to compare it, it is more like heavy cream. You cannot drink it by the glass. So the cartoned drink would work better for milk substitute, but would hardly have health benefits of coconut milk. Having said this, please keep in mind that coconut milk is very high in fat and calories and can be part of your healthy lifestyle only if you use it sparingly and to replace less healthy fats and empty calories in your diet. I.e. there is no food that can help you lose weight if you overeat in general, but coconut oil and coconut milk are very good options for those who prefer to eat food that provides certain health benefits and do not just try to meet their daily calorie allotments.

California Man Advertises Ex-Wife For $10.50 At Yard Sale
Sometimes we got to ask this question: What the hell is wrong with people?!
In this weird report coming out of California, via ABC 10 News, a man set up a cardboard cut-out outside his home with a disturbing message.
"Ex-wife for sale or rent—all yours for $10.50," read the sign, followed by a sketch of a bikini-clad figure. According to 10 News, The man told them his friend made the sign as a ploy to get passerby's to stop for his yard sale.

Message from the President
Fall weather is here and the leaves are beginning to show some color changes. All those lovely orange, red and rust tones are so inspiring for quilters.
I am off on the 10th of November to the "Quilting in Toccoa" retreat at the Georgia Baptist Center in Toccoa, Ga. I look forward to this event every year as much as attending our August SewFest Retreat. I have been going to it for the last 20 years or so. It is a perfect place to catch up on my UFO's or to work on Xmas gifts. There are also great teachers there for those who want to take a class to learn some new skill or brush up on old ones. Since I have been quilting for close to 49 years, I tend to skip the classes and just work on my own projects, but it is good to have choices. This retreat is organized and run by our own, Frances Cranford, (GQC President Elect) who has been its director for the past couple of years and does a great job. There will be lots of Georgia Quilt council members there as well as quilters from other states. This will be the 3rd year that my daughter, Kerry Lyon has flown in from El Paso, TX to attend and Jill Schneider's daughter has come from far away MN. It is a great time to renew old acquaintances and make new friends. Lets hope that our SewFest Retreat will develop a similar history of loyal attendees.
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and wish you well for the remainder of the year. It has been my pleasure to serve as your President in 2014.
Quilting stitches us together,
Clare Gilliland, President

Hunza River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2013) |
Hunza River (Urdu: دریائے ہنزہ) is the principal river of Hunza, in the Northern Areas of Pakistan. It is formed by the confluence of the Kilik and Khunjerab nalas (gorges) which are fed by glaciers. It is joined by the Gilgit River and the Naltar River before it flows into the Indus River.
The river cuts through the Karakoram range, flowing from north to south. The Karakoram Highway crosses the Hunza River near Hunza and Nagar valleys.
The river is dammed for part of its route.[1]

In the related theme of Balancing Priorities, nurses commented on the need to interrupt their job trajectory to care for family, described returning to school in their middle years and their wish for a better work schedule, less shift work on holidays and weekends, increased opportunity for promotion and for salary increases. Some nurses described switching positions to lessen stress and lower the pace, and taking part-time positions for more personal time and to avoid work-place politics.
As one nurse commented: I have found as I agemy time off is more important than most all other aspects. A major theme under Practice Deterrents was pay inequity. Commented one participant: Money is a major issue with many nurses. Although people say money is not a motivator, almost every nurse I know would be much more motivated if we were paid well enough so that we are not forced to work two jobs and if our advanced degrees were compensated.
Another common deterrent was lack of respect, which is the reason one respondent is leaving the profession: We have demanding stressful roles. Yet our employers see us as expendable, replaceable and interchangeable with a variety of lesser-trained support staff.
Other comments echoed this concern: The voice of experience is not respected; the older nurse is not valued, comment one respondent.
Work demands -- My heart is at the bedside, the rest of my body couldnt do it-- and safety issues -- I left hospital nursing after 20 years because I became horrified and disgusted at the mistakes being made -- also were mentioned frequently as a deterrent.

Bring Back the Beef: Modern Cinema's Tiny Action Stars
Boiling Point By Robert Fure on August 13, 2012 | Comments (6)It's Expendables week and if you're anything like me, you couldn't be more erect. There's just something about a bunch of hulked up dudes, rippling with muscle, dripping with sweat, kicking ass, and wrestling each other that just really appeals to me, ya know? "No homo." ~ The Lonely Island. But seriously, putting aside the disappointment in the first film (I still dig it, it just could have been way better), there is something great about seeing all the biggest action stars of the 80s and 90s back on screen again in a big way. Notice my word choice here – biggest. Big. Emphasis on size. These dudes are no joke. Sly Stallone could be retired and playing golf Palm Springs, but instead he's working out and putting guys half his age to shame on the screen. Likewise, Terry Crews, gigantic and scary. Arnold Schwarzenegger, one of the biggest of all time. Dolph Lundgren, Jean Claude Van Damme, Chuck Norris – dudes that all flexed serious muscle on screen. Why do people get so excited about these guys making their return to the silver screen? Simple. Our action stars today are lacking. To put it simply: Where's the beef?
Move Over, 'The Expendables 2,' 'Soldiers of Fortune' Features Action Actors Who Are Truly Expendable
Movie News By Nathan Adams on June 15, 2012 | Comments (1)Sylvester Stallone's upcoming all-star action extravaganza The Expendables 2 is currently in the midst of a mass scale marketing blitz that recently motored on with the release of its final official poster over at Yahoo! Movies (check out a larger version after the break). Just look at all those big names standing next to each other and try to tell me that it doesn't get you excited for the possibility of seeing them kick ass on the same screen. These guys are the biggest badasses in movie history, without question, and just the idea of seeing JCVD finally going toe-to-toe with Chuck Norris is enough to make one salivate. But what's with the name of this franchise? The Expendables? Hardly. These rich old men are anything but, as their films have basically made all the money the action genre has brought in over the last three decades. To paint them as some sort of rag-tag team of underdogs is just downright disingenuous. If rooting for the little guy is your cup of tea, however, then boy do I have an appealing B-team of action badasses for you. Meet the Soldiers of Fortune:

When you've been rejected
We're forever approved of and chosen by God.
It's strange to find yourself with the same hurt feelings you had in grade school when your best friend told you that she never wanted to play with you again. The stabbing rejection is back – that feeling of not being good enough, not being chosen, not being wanted or valued.
Maybe it's ridiculous to feel this way over a friendship that has moved on. You say to yourself, "Grow up! It's not the first time you've been rejected, and it won't be the last."
But heartache isn't so simple. It can be devastating – the result of infidelity in a marriage, being fired from a job, or a grown child no longer staying in touch. Whether the situation is big or small, we long to be comforted.
This has happened a number of times in my adult life. Some I've handled better than others. As I look back, the times I've found real comfort were when I stopped blaming the situation, myself, or others, and turned in prayer to God. This prayer always revealed to me that no matter what the hurt appeared to be, what actually made it so painful was that something about my relationship with God felt askew.
That may sound strange at first, but understanding my identity as God's child has been key to finding my way out of rejection. One way the Bible has taught me to look at God is as the only Ego, or Mind. God revealed Himself to Moses as "I AM THAT I AM"' (Ex. 3:14). Mary Baker Eddy, who founded the Monitor, described "I AM" as "God; incorporeal and eternal Mind; divine Principle; the only Ego" ("Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," p. 588).
Seeing that I am the effect or expression of that Ego, or God, gets me back on track. Knowing that we are the offspring of the divine Ego opens us up to the source of goodness, love, and ability. Believing we have our own egos, separate from God, results in pride and fear, limitation and doubt, because the mortal ego is finite and is not the source of goodness, love, and ability.

Comments about Now Foods European Clay Powder - 6 Ounces Powder:
You don't need to ever buy another mask again! All of those expensive masks don't do much anyway! This is amazing! I have NEVER seen such great results from a mask!!! I could literally feel the blood pulsating in my face, as it brought the blood to my skin's surface (a good thing)!!! It really cleans out your pores well, and makes them a LOT smaller! I am totally impressed with this product. And it was under 5 dollars!!!!! I am amazed at how it sucks impurities out of your pores! Love it!!!!

Some sources say caffeine in a coffee scrubs will get rid of cellulite, but that's not accurate - the "vigorous scrubbing" & the caffeine relax the pockets of fat, but don't actually get rid of them - it's a temporary fix, great for an outing when you want to look your best
There really aren't any ways to actually "banish" cellulite - sorry - but there's lots of ways to help make it less obvious temporarily
Hope that helps - if you find out differently, please let me know! :) Jul 3, 2013
Ingredients: Montmorillonite (a natural mineral silicate) 100% pure.
For internal detoxification, look for bentonite clay liquid or search "Alimentary Detoxification" to find products intended for internal use. Jun 15, 2014
Clay is a powerful draw. Whatever garbage is beneath the skin will be pulled to the surface. Unless you are reacting to an unknown additive in the clay, it may seem that a clay mask is making your acne worse.
Studies have shown a link between acne and a high body pH. This means your body is in a state of acidity instead of being alkaline. Whatever you put on your skin or in your body will affect your skin. Clay has a naturally high pH which is why it helps. Sep 1, 2013

Irish-based international provider of healthcare services, UDG Healthcare, today said its revenues and adjusted operating profits for the nine months to the end of June are ahead of the same period last year.
It said that this was driven by the strong performance of its Ashfield Commercial and Medical Services division.
Performance for the quarter to 30 June 2014 has been good, it said, with revenues and profits ahead of the same period last year and with Ashfield becoming the largest profit contributing division for the first time.
Profit growth was particularly strong within the healthcare communications businesses due to a combination of organic growth and acquisitions. The North American business again performed well and the greenfield Japanese business moved into profitability in the quarter, UDG said.
"Based on the underlying trading performance we reiterate our previous guidance that we expect constant currency adjusted diluted earnings per share1 for the year to 30 September 2014 to be between 5pc and 9pc ahead of last year," its interim management statement said.

I need to get two double hung windows, about 32" wide by 48" tall and have been on the fence between Marvin Clad Ultimate double hungs and Andersen Woodwrights. After reading a bunch of posts on this forum I haven't seen much of anything negative about either window.
I was pretty much decided on the Woodwright until I called to get a price on the Ultimate double hung. I was a bit surprised when the Ultimate quote came in a little under $600. The quotes for a comparable Woodwright are right around $500. Both windows have their advantages. I looked at a Woodwright in maple and oak, both are very beautiful windows, much nicer than pine. The 'upgraded wood' adds about $60 to the cost. Marvin doesn't offer maple but they offer oak and some other woods that are just as nice, but the cost is about triple for what Andersen wants for upgraded wood. I'm assuming part of this is because there is a lot more wood in the sashes on the Ultimate. I can get a Woodwright in maple or oak and still be a little under the Ultimate double hung in pine. When I looked at the Ultimate I really liked the tilt mechanism. The Woodwright isn't bad, just not as 'slick'. I have to wonder how much this should weigh in my decision. I've talked to other people with tilting sash windows and they wash the outside maybe once or twice a year. It's not something you'll do everyday. The fit and finish on both windows were very nice. I'd say the Ultimate was a little better. I'm hoping the delivered windows from either company will be as nice as the display models. From what I have read Marvin had some problems in the late 1980's and early 1990's. I'm assuming/hoping those problems are long gone and the windows today are good for 15+ years. Again I haven't heard much negative about Marvin since then. If anyone here has had Clad Ultimate double hungs for several years I'd be interested if they are holding up as well as expected. If it matters I'm looking at a white exterior. Again, I'm hoping/assuming the aluminum cladding will not chalk for 10-15 years or more. The same goes for the Woodwright. From what I've learned the exterior surfaces are either Fibrex (on the sill and sashes) and vinyl. I'm wondering if these fade and if so do they stay close to the same color? That is, I wouldn't want to have the vinyl fade to a different color than the Fibrex. Fibrex has been used in Andersen windows for about 15 years and I haven't seen anyone complaining about the material fading, shrinking, deteriorating, etc. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm a homeowner doing the same research you're doing on DHs. My Ultimate was priced about $470 and the Woodwright was under $350. I couldn't justify the cost of the Marvin window. Plus, with Marvin, I couldn't choose the contractor. Just recently I found the Andersen A-series. It's a line above the Woodwright and in my opinion it is a nicer window. It even has the slick tilt mechanism you're talking about. It is a little more expensive than the Woodwright but still much less than the Marvin Ultimate. We'll be placing our A-series order within the week. I think the A-series has only been out on the market for less than a year and it is only in certain parts of the country so far. I'm in NY and both builders supply companies and Home Depots have them. Good luck with your decision. |
Thanks for the opinion on the A-series. I haven't seen them in my area and one dealer told me they are only taking larger orders for them right now. From what you saw do they match the Woodwright on the outside? I wish I could wait until they become available but I have to have the windows in by winter or the basement's going to be awfully cold. My plan was to put two windows in the basement that I like and if everything is good with them I'd start replacing the rest of the windows in the house with them. |
Hi Jim, from what I remember, they look similar from the outside. The inside is a little different on the jambs, and tilt/locking mechanism. The Woodwright rides on a plastic raised surface that compresses behind the jamb. The A-Series is like the Ultimate in that it uses the little fuzzy weatherstripping (sorry, I don't know the terminology but if you've seen the Woodwright and Ultimate hopefully you know what I mean). I'm doing the same...replacing four now but hope to use the same window when tackling the rest of the house. I've talked to several people and I feel comfortable that the Woodwright and A-Series shouldn't have a problem with fading (I'm getting white exterior too). |

6 Knowing God leads to self-control. Self-control leads to patient endurance, and patient endurance leads to godliness. | 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; |
7 Godliness leads to love for other Christians, and finally you will grow to have genuine love for everyone. | 7 and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. |

Citrus chicken is a great go-to recipe to add juice and zest to ordinary chicken. The spicy sauce works equally well with fish or pork.
Cooking Light OCTOBER 2006
Combine first 8 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Pour 1/4 cup juice mixture into a large zip-top plastic bag. Add chicken to bag. Seal; let stand 5 minutes. Add oil to remaining juice mixture; stir well with a whisk.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Add chicken to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until done. Place 1 1/2 cups spinach on each of 4 plates. Divide chicken evenly among servings; top each serving with 1 tablespoon juice mixture.

General Comments
This is a great company. Acquiring legal help can be very costly but with the help of Member Legal Net, I was able to fix the legal issues my small home business is facing without spending huge amount of money. Their low fixed rates are a great help for folks like me who don ' t have funds for expensive attorney ' s fees. The good thing about Member Legal Net is I can call any time to get advice about any legal problem and don't have to worry about the cost. I would recommend this company to family and friends.

Partial C&P from above URL
The time has come for Google to "give something back", Wayne Rosing, the company's vice-president of engineering, told students while on a recruiting drive in Melbourne last week.
"There have been a lot of conversations in the company in the past two months about (how) . . . it's time for us to give something back. So our technical director, Craig Silverstein, has started a project to look at all the Google code and start figuring out what parts of it we want to give back," Rosing said.
Any chance of indexing my new site and keeping the code for later?
or some class b shares :)
Maybe I'm wrong here but from what I understand this is their plan: Release their code to universities and let some students study it. If any of those students eventually goes to work at Google, they will have partially pre-trained employees. Smart move by Google but I really don't think they're being the good guys here.
Greetings, Herenvard�
PS: GGuy, would you give us a small preview? I'm very curious about Google's code ;)lol
If they actually release some code, that might be worthy of comment.
No, that would require the algo and they won't be giving that away.
They'll give away part of the index and retrieval system I suspect, together with some technology on cluster networking with databases.
I expect that they will not be handing out any ranking tidbits, rather some non-seo but interesting programming that will help other aspects like organizing data, running large networks etc.
I would imagine it's that kind of stuff they'll be releasing rather than algo related info.
Just my 2 cents.

All vermicompost is good and vermicastings are what we are working towards. I am under the impression that there is some value in having individual vermicasts to sprinkle into the soil as opposed to vermicast mud. Isn't each casting coated in a wee bit of calcium. Doesn't this keep each casting separate. The value of this in the soil would seem to be porous crumbs or granular texture which is especially good at holding both a thin film of water and tiny tunnels of interconnected pockets of air. This is for oxygen exchange, as well as moisture holding and transport. The individual vermicasts seem designed to both store extra water and release it as needed during times of drought. There is also to my belief that the special surface coating of the individual vermicast has some sort of soil cation exchange magic going on. Thus I would like to direct my vermicomposting activities to maximize crumbly, individual vermicast harvesting. No not with tweezers. I see some of the vermicast they sell appears granular with structure. Is anybody else trying for vermicastings that look like this? This would seem to be the next step after succeeding keeping the alive, contained and producing. |

Dispersal of VC (vermicastings) evenly (like those nasty old chemical fertilizers) is, of course, the ideal and most efficient way to get maximum worth out of that black gold. However, if it is clumped together, unlike chemicals, it won't fry your plants/grass/gardens. You coud pile it up knee deep without burning up your plants. OK, not THAT deep or it would block out the sun. Chuckiebtoo |

Under the steady hand of Coast Guard-licensed captain Larry Vazzano, the Wharf Rat slices through the blue waters of Chesapeake Bay. The intimate vessel's sails harness the breeze, turning this way and that above the heads of passengers to find the best angle to the wind. Its decks bustle with activity of guests helping prepare sails or taking the helm as well as relaxed onlookers enjoying the unique view. Meanwhile, viewed from the cockpit dining table, the sun reaches its zenith and glitters off the peaks of waves, or dips slowly behind the forested shoreline, dyeing the whole world in orange, red, and purple.
Captain Larry loves this experience––the Atlantic Sailing Experience, as he calls it––so much that he's shared it with over 600 guests. In addition to his nautical know-how, he shows off his prowess at the grill for brunch and dinner, churning out tasty barbecue and vegetable sides from his own garden. Of course, he doesn't just sail and eat. He also charters his ship for exciting sailboat races and the occasional voyage to the end of the Earth.
Supper Thyme's goal is to de-stress the breakfast, lunch, and dinner hours by inviting visitors to craft hearty and nutritious meals beforehand. After perusing the monthly rotating menu, customers can select an assortment of calorie-conscious, family-friendly, or organically inspired dishes and schedule an appointment to come in and assemble the ingredients. Staff members then gather all of the necessary ingredients and utensils, ensuring that each meal can be assembled in as few as 10 minutes. In between portioning out servings, visitors can enjoy a snack while listening to music or chatting with fellow attendees in the shop's casual, low-stress kitchen environment. The meals can remain safely frozen in homes' freezers, with easy-to-follow cooking instructions allowing customers to quickly thaw and cook entrees whenever they might need to feed families, guests, or a lost restaurant reviewer.
Half-moons, cylinders, and blocks of gourmet deli meats and cheeses fill the glass display case at Simple Sands Deli. From this bounty, the staff slices pounds of prosciutto, chipotle turkey, brazilian pork, and salami. They wrap their meats and cheeses in tidy parcels for home cooking, but these savory ingredients also compose the deli's menu of Italian breakfast sandwiches. The team makes the capicola and salami, as well as hearty lunch and dinner sandwiches such as the Smoked Mid-Western, which piles santa fe turkey, gouda, onions, tomato, and dill spread atop flyover-sized pieces of whole-grain bread. Jumbo kosher pickles and bags of Utz chips, as well as drinks from soda to iced caramel macchiatos, help round out each meal.
Winner of OpenTable Diner's Choice Awards including 'Best Overall Restaurant', 'Best Neighborhood Gem', and 'Great for Lunch', Moulin de Paris has courted visitors with delicate Eurasian fare for the last 29 years. Serving an elegant trifecta of lunch, dinner, and afternoon tea, chefs meld east and west by combining ingredients such as smoked salmon and sweet chili sauce or mango salad and roquefort cheese.
Inside the dining room, mounted, blown-glass sculptures decorate a lemongrass-colored wall, and dark wooden tables accommodate plates. During afternoon tea, three-tiered trays showcase spreads of mini sandwiches and desserts made in-house by a Parisian trained chef.
Though much has changed at Tall Oaks Restaurant in the last half-century—the steak-and-seafood restaurant has acquired new owners, undergone dining-room renovations, and sprouted a bar—many things have also remained the same. Chefs Dennis Walz and Joe Golden continue to craft classic American cuisine, pulling from founder Francis Hasse's original recipes for meatloaf, pierogis, and their famous fried hard-shell crab. They've also added a few items of their own to the menu, namely rosemary-dusted flatbread and Caribbean jerk mahi-mahi. The chefs focus their menu around local seafood and premium meats, such as certified Angus beef and Chesapeake oysters.
In the sunny dining room, white-clothed tables host guests lingering over last bites of warm chocolate lava cake and toffee cream pie. Bartenders shake up specialty martinis at the nearby bar, adding dashes of caramel sauce, pumpkin spice, and fresh blueberries as needed.

By Steve Kilar and The Baltimore Sun
February 11, 2013
The foreclosure auction of a 43-acre plot of waterfront land in Westport that was scheduled for Thursday has been canceled because an involuntary bankruptcy petition has been filed against the land's corporate owner, according to the auctioneer. Inner Harbor West LLC, a company affiliated with developer Patrick Turner, owes a construction firm and a land consulting company more than $200,000, according to the petition, filed last week by the consultant and builder. The auction had to be canceled because of the petition, said Andrew L. Billig, a member of the auction house A.J. Billig and Co. The land's trustees will have to convince the bankruptcy judge that the sale should proceed, he said.

Westport development saga to continue in bankruptcy court
By Arthur Hirsch, The Baltimore Sun
September 8, 2014
Developer Patrick Turner again put off possible foreclosure on the South Baltimore waterfront he wants to redevelop as the parties agreed Monday in backruptcy court to an Oct. 24 hearing on all matters in the case. The delay gives Turner's Inner Harbor West LLC another month or so to attempt to come to terms with creditor Westport Property Investments LLC, which had asked the court to lift the automatic stay triggered by the bankruptcy that blocks foreclosure. If Turner and his creditors don't reach agreement before then, Judge Robert A. Gordon could be asked to decide the fate of Turner's aspiration to turn 43 acres on the Patapsco River into a project including homes, stores, hotels, a high-rise building and a park.

Welcome to my blog! I plan on sharing some thoughts on trends and the state of the industry for virtualization, cloud computing and the general future of infrastructure. A little about me:
I'm a vice president and distinguished analyst with Gartner Research. I'm the lead analyst responsible for server virtualization and real-time infrastructure architectures. However, my primary area of focus is cloud computing.
Before joining Gartner fourteen years ago, I was a division plan manager and chief software engineer with IBM. I've been in the IT industry for 25 years.
With Gartner analyst Neil MacDonald, I published research about computing appliances starting in 1999.
In 2001, with Gartner analyst Donna Scott, I developed the real-time infrastructure concept – before the industry was talking about autonomic, dynamic, on demand, or adaptive anything. In 2001, I explained how service providers would leverage these concepts to change the idea of outsourcing completely (what has since become the engine of cloud computing).
I published research explaining the importance of start-up VMware when that company had 50 employees. For the past seven years, I've advised the industry about the virtualization trend.
In 2004, I invented the concept of the meta OS – a conceptual operating system that spans distributed systems and takes on some of the services provided by traditional operating systems (starting to be promoted by vendors such as VMware and Microsoft in 2008).
Now, I focus on virtualization trends, general infrastructure and operations future, and cloud computing.

LAS CRUCES- For the seventh year in a row, the staff of Memorial Medical Center (MMC) will donate backpacks filled with school supplies to needy LCPS students as they prepare to begin a new school year.
The backpacks are filled with pens, pencils, notebooks, paper, rulers, glue, scissors and other supplies from the LCPS school supplies list. The backpacks are labeled according to grade and will be distributed to students at all LCPS schools, said LCPS Title I social worker Yoli Silva.
"It is a great donation that helps many of our students and their families start the school on a positive note," said Silva.
During the past six years, MMC staff have donated more than 1,925 backpacks to needy LCPS students.
