Having the latest technologies can be great. But gambling with a possibly steep learning curve and the risk of unexpected faults in new technology can cost your organization more than just the expense of the upgrade. Why run these risks when your current tech already does what you need it to do?
CIOs are constantly pushing to be on the cutting edge, but sometimes they don't realize everything involved in an upgrade process. They think that having a new, shiny data center or applications that include the latest buzzwords, like cloud, is impressive, but why not just improve the old technology? CIOs often ask for the same capabilities they have now in a different format. Why not just make the older technology communicate better with the newer tech? Your boss will probably be more impressed if you can provide the capabilities they want with the technology you already have.
Legacy systems have been around in any given environment for a long time because they're really good at what they do. It's more impressive to make your legacy technology and your modern technology work together in harmony than upgrade to the newest, shiniest system.
In a rush to adapt cloud-based, everything-as-a-service newness, organizations are overlooking that they can make old technologies act modern. Rather than implementing a time-consuming, resource-intensive upgrade, it makes much more sense to keep all the things you have so your mainframes can work together with the new PCs and other devices people use.
The next time a CIO wants you to upgrade to the latest new technology, you should ask them what they are trying to accomplish and how they anticipate that helping the organization. That knowledge will help you understand you need a simple upgrade or a complete infrastructure overhaul.
Executives will continue to encourage upgrades or changes for various, and often legitimate, reasons. But you don't have to choose living with old, outdated technology or moving to the newest, most expensive system. Your mainframes and other legacy technology can work perfectly well in a rapidly increasing mobile environment. Instead of taking the easy way out, go for something that's really going to impress people: using what you have, and letting your technology do a better job than any other organization's IT infrastructure. Anyone can go buy the newest IT. It's how you use what you already have that can make the difference.

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

Sony Annual Film Profit Down 1.6 Percent, Movies Partially Offset by TV
TOKYO – Sony Corp.'s film unit on Wednesday posted a full-year operating profit of $501 million (¥51.6 billion), down 1.6 percent from $509 million in the previous year, but up 8 percent in yen - driven by the weakening of the Japanese currency against the U.S. dollar.
The result came on a 13.2 percent revenue gain for Sony Pictures in yen, or a 6 percent drop on a constant dollar basis, to $8.05 billion (¥829 billion), with the weak yen again playing a key role.
Following the blockbuster hits of Skyfall and The Amazing Spider-Man in the previous financial year, Sony Pictures had major flops including After Earth and White House Down that hit its revenue and bottom line. In its earnings report, the company singled out the "underperformance of White House Down and After Earth" as contributing to lower theatrical revenue.
But it said that lower film results were partially offset by higher TV production sales, including revenue from Breaking Bad and Wheel of Fortune, and a $106 million gain earlier in the fiscal year realized on the sale of the film unit's music publishing catalog.
Operating income at Sony Pictures for the final quarter of the fiscal year fell by 64 percent compared to the same period last year, to just under $100 million (¥10.2 billion).
Sony Pictures CEO Michael Lynton told investors in Los Angeles in November that the entertainment operations should generate $8.4 billion in the year to March 2015, with operating income of around $630 million. The strategy to achieve that includes a "significant shift from motion pictures to higher margin television," production.
STORY: Sony CEO, Top Execs to Return $10 Million in Bonuses Amid Electronics Unit Losses
Overall, Sony Corp recorded a full-year loss of $1.25 billion (¥128.4 billion) on revenue of $75 billion. Sales fell slightly on a dollar basis, but were boosted by the weak yen. The successful launch of the PlayStation 4 and higher sales for its smartphones were some of the few bright spots for Sony during the year.
Operating income at Sony Music jumped 35 percent to $487 million on revenue of $4.89 billion, boosted by strong performances by albums from One Direction, Daft Punk and Beyonce.
The conglomerate predicted red ink of $490 million (¥50 billion) for the year to March 2015. This would be its fifth loss in six years, as it spends another $132 million on restructuring to pull out of the personal computer business and spins off its loss-making TV set manufacturing operations into a separate entity.
Sony shares closed up 1 percent at ¥1,805 ($17.66) in Tokyo before the earnings announcement.

Ahh, the one night stand. The random hook-up. That night that you'd rather forget — whatever you call it, these sort of things happen. But when that situation goes awry? Well then you have a "Two Night Stand" on your hand, like Miles Teller and Analeigh Tipton in their film of the same name.
And we're premiering the trailer exclusively — right here, right now!
The film, which also stars Kid Cudi and "Gossip Girl" star/Taylor Swift BFF Jessica Szohr, follows the story of Alec (Teller) and Megan (Tipton), whose online dalliance ends up going full-on IRL, and then hits one unfortunate snafu: they're snowed in and cannot escape each other. Awk-ward.
And as if that weren't enough, we've also got the film's new poster — how's that for second helpings, eh?
"Two Night Stand" hits theaters September 26th and on-demand channels October 3rd.

Tableaux displayed at the 63{+r}{+d}Republic Day celebrations here on Thursday highlighted the various schemes launched by the Kiran Kumar Reddy government, each of them invariably sporting his portrait.
A float provided a live display of implementation of Rajiv Yuva Kiranalu, the scheme launched to ensure 15 lakh jobs in three years, with "unemployed" queuing up at a skill development training centre. A complete landscape showing fields being irrigated with an agricultural pumpset was the theme of another tableau to explain Indira Jala Prabha, a scheme being implemented to develop 10 lakh acres of fallow land.
Seventeen other tableaux held a mirror to the activities undertaken by the departments. For the first time, Election Commission and Indian Institute of Aerospace Technology and Management, put up floats, focusing on voter enrolment and training offered to make aircraft engineers.
A hydraulic ladder of the Disaster Management Department positioned in the middle of the grounds that rose up to a height of 162 ft and released a bunch of tricolour balloons attracted attention. The Animal Husbandry Department did not come up with a tableau, although it was listed in the programme, while no official turned up to receive the prize from Governor E. S. L. Narasimhan, for the float of Rajiv Swagruha Corporation which was adjudged the third best.
Live scene
There was widespread appreciation for that of Factories & Boilers Department containing a live scene of the factory.
It bagged the first prize at the event.
D. Srinivasulu, Secretary, Labour, Employment & Factories, expressed happiness that the tableau displayed by his department at Republic Day celebrations at Parade Grounds bagged the first prize depicting the various schemes being implemented by it for workers.
Mr. Srinivasulu said through the schemes, marriages of their children were being facilitated, support extended to pregnant women, assistance to the family in case of accidents/disability of the worker, medical aid against chronic diseases and overall safety and health measure for building and construction workers.

LEOPOLD—Perry Central's girls softball team will have a whole new infield and new pitcher as it tries to win its third consecutive PLAC title this year.
Miranda Claise, who made All-PLAC the last two years as a pitcher, is now pitching for Lincoln Trail College.
The three girls vying to replace her don't have her velocity or variety of pitches yet. So more balls may be put in play against them and hit to the outfield.
This is probably the shortest All-Perry County boys basketball team in the 38 years that the News has been naming them.
There are many fishing opportunities throughout the Hoosier National Forest for angling enthusiasts of all ages and experience. From large lakes with concrete boat ramps and road side ponds with easy access, to small and medium lakes off the beaten path; prospects for catching fish are excellent.
Indiana Department of Natural Resources has been doing fish surveys on many Hoosier lakes for 40 years or more. Most, if not all of the fishable lakes on the Hoosier are managed for bluegill/redear sunfish and largemouth bass populations.

Waterstone soon!
I called the plumbing supply house today to check the status of my faucet. Great news is that the soap dispenser is there and the faucet is scheduled to be delivered on Friday! I can't wait to get that faucet in my grubby little paws so I can oooh and aaah over it!
Still waiting for the sample of the Schaub hardware so I can place that order also. I am getting down to the wire now with ordering. I am still waiting for my pendant to arrive so I can decide if I am getting a second one or sending it back for something else! Exciting times!
So exciting. You will love your Waterstone.
BTW - something arrived for me today- thanks!
Yes it is just! I am more excited for the faucet than anything else in my kitchen. I was struck right away by the style and knew I found my faucet. Then, because it was a working model, I got to actually try it and I was hooked!
I had a heck of a time deciding on the finish because I liked all of them. I was afraid to go with a living finish because of our hard water.
How can I find a pic of yours?
holly-kay -- I haven't posted my finished kitchen photos yet, but I hope to next week. There's always that one last piece to get done...but I decided that I'd just go ahead and post, even if I don't manage to get the pendant over the table up by then! I remember your faucet finish dilemmas, and can't wait to see it in action. (Pooh pup and a2gemini were my WS inspirations too!)

1996 Toyota Camry Sedan LE 4dr Sedan
Purchased 2 years ago with 112k miles.
Now with 136k miles, engine and
transmission still runs great.
Powerband and Gear ratio are where they
should be. ECT works like a dream.
Throttle response is great and engine
is quiet. Handles awesome with
Bridgestone Turanza tires. Gas mileage
around 23mpg in the city, 30mpg on the
highway with a gentle foot. Low
maintenance costs. No major problems
with this 8 year old car. Keep it well
oiled and it wont give you any trouble.

With a 4 cylinder engine, performance

there is a lot of roll during
cornering. i am driving an used one in

This is acaully me parents car that i
will get in 2 years. It in ok car with
good passing power except when you
need to merge. Good gas milage, about
21mpg. Comfy interior but exterior
design is ugly! Handling is ok but has
improved from the new michellen tires.
Now has pretty good traction in the
snow. ABS is a very nice feature in
bad weather driving.

This was my first car and I have to
say I was pleased with it. It ran well
and always got me where I needed to
go. A lot of room to and easy to
maintain. The gas milage is great. I
would drive at least 30 miles a day
(thats a lot for a highschool senior)
and I would only have to fill up every
other week for $20. It was totalled
when I was hit in the side, but it
took a lot of impact and I came out
completely safe.

Bicycle Folds Into A Shopping Cart
An urban folding bike is a perfect mode of transport for a supermarket trip.
The Ville is an urban folding bicycle designed by Hyuk-Jae Chang which doubles up as a shopping cart. The bike has two storage baskets and folds up from the middle hinge at the touch of a button to become an ideally-sized grocery cart for shopping at the supermarket. Chang's folding bike tries to resolve the problem of needing to lock your bike up, as well as carrying extra shopping baskets with you.
Ville recently won the Bronze Prize at IDEA Design Awards 2010.

Looking for old info
I've been a lurker on this forum for a couple of years and have just recently gotten around to posting a bit on the quilting forum. The question of planning, starting, and finishing a project has come up a couple of times there. I think it was on this forum that the job of organizing craft materials came up. There was a very interesting post from someone who had come to realize that she had a gift for coming up with new ideas for a project, but not for completing it. So she would make notes, sketches, whatever of her inspirations and keep those. I think she ended up getting rid of her craft supplies after she realized that they were just clutter for her. Or something like that. The post was maybe a year ago, but I can't find anything in the old posts--it may be too old. Does anyone remember this? I'll post my question over on the crafts forum as well.
Sharon C.
Sharon --
I don't have time to help y ou "look" at the moment, but perhaps a forum search may yield the thread you are looking for??
Good luck!
Here is a link that might be useful: Look here....
Sharon, I think I remember it. I believe that it was Talley Sue who said something like she liked the "idea" of and planning and organizing of the craft more than the actual "execution" of it. I remember thinking "that sounds like me". Since then, I have dumped a lot of half finished projects that I had been feeling guilty about spending the amount of time and $$ I had and not finishing it. I gave myself permission to get rid of them, and now they are not an issue. I just had to get smart enough to realize that my interest wasn't in the finished product, just the initial process. If I'm not remembering right, someone correct me.
That does sound like a post I made once.
I finally decided the part that was fun was the pipe dream. And that it was OK.. I wasn't required to do all the stuff that I thought of. Crafts, home improvements, etc. (Kids get to play "pretend," why can't I, LOL!)
I love saying, "gee, if you cut a piece of wood and installed it there, you could have a neat shelf," but it was OK not to actually DO it.
Right now I'm saying, "wouldn't it be neat to learn to crochet, and make a yellow thermal blanket out of cotton yarn, just the size I want? I wonder what stitch would give the right amount of air spaces?" But I'm not going to go buy yarn, and a crochet hook, etc. I might even ask someone at the Crocheting forum, or flip through a crochet book. I might talk to my friend the knitter about whether knitting would be better, etc. But I won't actually DO it--and I won't have any GUILT about not doing it.
I spent as much time planning, investigating, dreaming, discussing, etc., as pleases me. THAT is my leisure.
And now that I've stopped myself from BUYING all the doodads and stuff that I would use for the craft project, or the sneato little way of modifying the store-bought whatever to do exaclty what I wanted it to do (sewing on curtai rings, or whatever), I have a lot more room, and a lot less guilt.
I don't spend lots of time and KEEP the drawings, etc., but I feel free to MAKE them, if I'm so inclined. And I also feel free to toss them, just the way I'd flip through a catalog, admire stuff and think about buying it, and then just toss the thing without ever ordering.
I probably went on for much longer in that original post.
And Marsha, I'm so tickled that you got something useful out of it!
Thanks, talley sue, that was the post. What made me think of it was a thread started by a person on the quilting forum who had never finished a project. I thought perhaps that she was like you--a gifted creator/planner--but as the thread ran on, it appeared that her problem might have been a space to work in. She is close to getting that, and time will tell if that was the problem. Several people mentioned in the thread that they had trouble finishing projects as well, so maybe this is fairly common. I admired your ability to realize that, for at least the time being, you could find happiness in putting a boundary on your creativity.

Salentein Reserve Malbec 2012
Malbec from Argentina, South America
Winemaker's Notes
Ruby in color. A lovely nose of blackcurrant with slight cinnamon. Juicy and intense flavors of blackberries and marmalade which is highlighted by delicate, rounded tannins and a finish of vanilla and cloves.
An ideal match for cheeses, poultry dishes, grilled red meats, salmon and chocolate desserts.
Critical Acclaim
Wine & Spirits - "As juicy as can be, this presents malbec pure and unadorned, from the aromas of violets to the peppery-cherry flavors and a texture so soft and gentle it's hard not to take another sip. The bonus here is the wine's depth of flavor and earthy notes that emerge on the finish, intimating that this is more profound than it initially seems.
Best Buy "
Bodegas Salentein Winery
These Estate wines come from the vineyards at La Pampa Estate, El Portillo Estate and San Pablo Estate, in the Upper Valley of the Uco, part of the Tupungato district, 120km south of Mendoza, nestling beneath the Andes. The vineyards are planted at between 1050 and 1500 metres above sea level in ideal micro climates, which produce perfect ripening conditions for the grapes. View all Bodegas Salentein Wines
About Argentina(ahr-jen-TEE-nah)
Notable FactsUnlike its Chilean neighbor, Argentina's vineyards are spread out around the country. The best known region is Mendoza, almost parallel to Santiago to the west. Mendoza contains the sub-regions of Maipu (pronounced MY-pu) and San Rafael. Grape-wise, the most important white is Chardonnay, making wine similar to California's style on the variety. Another fun white grape to try is Torrontes. Almost only grown in Argentina, Torrontes makes wines that are crisp, aromatic and easy-drinking. Some of the best versions of this wine come from the northern region of Salta, with very high altitude vineyards. As for the reds, Cabernet Sauvignon is the main grape for many wines leaving the country, but Malbec, the grape Argentinians like to call their own, makes very distinctive wines that are structured, dense and velvety. Many more varieties happily grow in the country, but for export, and consistent quality, these are the primary grapes.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Old Cowbelle: Reckless prayers
Reckless Prayers happen when you ask the Lord to give you something to do FOR HIM. Sometimes, His answers seem reckless too.
My reckless prayers began over 50 years ago, when our two youngest children were small and bashful, too bashful to go to their three-year-old Sunday School. So I offered to teach the class.
After a few years of teaching the children's younger classes, and my own children had outgrown their need of me there, I thought maybe I should grow a little too.

How long does it take you.................
to change bed sheets and everything on a King size bed?
I was watching my clock this morning and I can't believe it took me 15 min! It's no wonder I hate doing it.
I even used to work at Disney in housekeeping at one time (hated every second of it too)
We only have a full sized bed. Now that DH is retired, I 'make' him help me change the bedding. Takes less than 2 minutes with 2 people doing it. I'd estimate that doing it alone? Probably 10 minutes. Makes such a difference when you don't have to lap the bed 5-6 times to get everything straight and neat.
Not being anywhere near related to a king ...
... ain't never had nuthin' to do with any king sized bed!
And ... were I to put one into my bedroom ... there wouldn't be any room for me (or the dresser ... chest of drawers ... clock on night table - you get the picture: couldn't even open the closet door!
Can't you just see me ... standing in the doorway ... and doing a belly-flop onto that room-filling bed? And no one with whom to share it?
Takes me about 5 min. to do my single, I think - maybe 10 ... haven't done it in a while ... and didn't clock it when I did.
ole joyful
I've got a queen....there's plenty of room for the 2 of us with room left over ........we could have large dogs sleeping with us if we ever go THAT route....:0)
No time at all .....and I never see it as a chore....once a week is all I change them....
Yes, it takes me at least that long by my self. Maybe longer. And for us, a queen (short queen at that) in the RV, is not big enough for the two of us. But then, neither one of us is very little! And that short queen takes me almost as long, if not AS long! Of course it's a much more cramped space to make it in, too.
Not room for two on a queen size???? I've slept 2 in a single! I use a single all the time now for myself and love it. No way do I want bigger. Making the bed takes litte effort. To each his own!l I sure wouldn't want to go back to a bigger one just for myself.
Speaking of changing the sheets, not making the bed, which is a daily chore. I'm at the point that just making the bed is a chore, because of the pain and stiffness in my back and legs. So I confess I follow the old adage that covers a lot of chores: give it a lick and a promise. Martha Stewart doesn't live here, or even visit.
But, if you have the Sleep Number adjustable bed like I have, first deflate it completely. That loosens all the tucked under corners, which then just lift off. Then put the clean sheets on. I can lift the mattress a little at each corner and the tucked under corners go on much easier. When you are finished, inflate to 100 and that will straighten out the kinks, if any. Also makes the bed look better. Later, set the remote wherever you want it.
Ivamae, neither DH or I am small. I am short, but am very fluffy, he is tall and fluffy. We are used to a California King in the house, and the way he sleeps, there isn't room for two! After all the years he was on midnight shift and we slept seperately, he is almost always snuggled up against me, unless he gets too hot. So I am still on the edge of the bed! LOL! The short queen in the RV seems VERY cramped after the CA King in the house. However, we have managed to BOTH sleep in the same berth on the train the first night on our train trip to CA. That was the night he found out he is claustrophbic. He couldn't sleep on the top bunk. Those bunks are MAYBE 3' wide, but I wouldn't count on it. Let's just say it was VERY cozy!
Sue, if we ever get a sleep number for the RV, which I desperately want, I will have to remember your trick! The spring mattress in it is killing me. We have a temperpedic in the house.
Good news, for those of you who feel crowded in your beds ...
... it's reported that people shrink as they age ... which should be a double-barrelled benefit (unless you replace your current partner with a younger one).
Not quite sure what the " ... and everything", on the original post means ... blankets, plus ??
Also, in the light of some commentators stories re sharing their beds with four-legged critters ... have you ever seen a dog/cat/?? that chooses/has found a way to sleep vertically? There's another option?
o j ... slinking off into the darkness
Tami, I kn0w what y0u mean ab0ut an RV bed. The bed in 0ur 5th wheel was plain unc0mf0rtable, but I g0t a 3" f0am t0p and it helped a l0t. The 0pp0site happened here at h0me. Finally t00k that f0am 0ff and we b0th sleep better in 0ur Queen. Had a King, but Harry said I felt t00 far away. We fit fine in it, even th0ugh neither 0ne 0f us is thin.
It may take 15 minutes t0 put the clean sheets 0n, but it d0esn't seem like it. Much easier with0ut that f0am, I musy say.
I wasn't talking about making a bed, I was talking striping everything then putting on fresh. No way 5 min! unless your superwomen, then I need your bed changing secret.

Peace, a simple five letter word – if only that were all. What I want to say may appear to be asking more questions than it answers, but then I am seeking just as you are.
There was an extremely depressing and revealing Channel 4 TV 'Dispatches' documentary this evening, documenting the way in which the 2005 liberalisation of gambling by New Labour (Gordon Brown pulled back on 'super-casinos', but not the rest of it) has exposed poor communities in particular to businesses that take many thousands of pounds out of the local economy every day.

Bizarre Games of Luck
Subscribe to our newsletter
There are all kinds of games out there and some of them are based on shear luck. Depending on whether you want to chance these games, depends on your level of adrenalin. There are drinking games of luck, those just depend on whether you want your stomach pumped or not, and then there is the ultimate game of luck, which involves whether you want to take your life into your own hands.
Beer is important key!
Russian Roulette
This game of luck entails taking your life into your own hands. In order to execute this game, you have to place a single round into the revolver and spin it, flipping it back into place. Once you have done this, you place the gun to your head and pull the trigger. If you are lucky, the gun will not go off, but will just click. There have been games with a few people involved at one time. When there is more than one person involved, then it is played in a round robin style. The first person spins the barrel and flips it back into place and pulls the trigger, then, providing they survive, the gun gets handed to the second person and they perform the same act. If that person is lucky, then they will survive. It is continued on until every person playing has a turn and then if the players still want a turn azt it the game continues.
Beer Hunter
This game of luck entails you to be lucky enough not to get wet. You will need a six pack, a box and some friends. You have to take one can and shake, really shake it up. Then you put it in the box and mix them around with one of the other participants not looking, then they look and the other one has to look away. You mix the drinks around again and one of them picks a can. They have to angle it toward their face and open the can. If they are lucky, they will choose a can that is not the shaken one and stay dry. But, if they are unlucky then they will get soaked with the beer.
I Skull
I skull is a game of shear luck that makes you use your brain while drinking. What you need for this game are some drinking buddies, beer, your brain, your eyes and your mouth. If you have ever played I spy, then you can play this game. Someone picks an object and the other participants have to guess what that object is. If you guess wrong then you have to drink a skull of beer. If you guess right, then the person with the object has to drink five skulls worth of beer. You may also purchase clues as to what the object will be by having everyone drink three skulls a piece. The game will continue until someone passes out or the participants get bored. This game is not as easy as it sounds. You can get quite tipsy in a short amount of time, making it harder to think.
This game of luck entails you to have a high tolerance of alcohol and pure luck. This game can be deadly, if you play it fast enough. You will need a deck of cards, a few friends and the shot liquor of your choice. You have to choose what color you are going to call out from red, black, purple or rainbow. If you call out red and the dealer flips a card over that is red then no one drinks and you can continue, but if the dealer turns over a black card then you have to take a shot. If you call out black and the dealer turns over the black card, then the game continues, but if it is a red card, then it is the same as calling red, take the shot. If you call out purple, then the dealer has to turn over two cards and one must be black and the other must be red. If the cards come up two of the same thing, then you have to take two drinks. If you shout out rainbow, then the dealer has to turn over four cards and two must be black and two must be red. If the cards are not like this, then you have to take four shots. The object of this game is to remain as sober as possible with your choices.
