Looking for a particular Southern shell pea
So glad to find this forum! I'm planning my first backyard vegetable garden for next spring and summer, and I'd really like to grow a pea that I grew up eating in middle GA but now cannot find anywhere. My grandfather grew what we called "little white peas." The name we gave them is misleading because they weren't white, they were light green both before and after cooking. They are not the tan-colored white acre peas, but are actually smaller and greener. They are not the purple hull ones either. I found a picture at the website linked below which looks very much like what I remember. This grower calls them conk peas - a name I've never heard, and says they are also called "green acre peas" or "cream peas." Does anyone here know how I can get my hands on some, and is "conk" the right name of the pea I'm thinking of? Thanks for any help!
Here is a link that might be useful:
Did you try contacting the grower you refer to? Seems like that would be the best starting point.
I can't find any reference just to conk (probably conch?). But both William Woys Weaver and Jere Gettle grow a Running Conch, and list it in the SSE Yearbook. That may be what you're looking for. Here's the description: "long vining plants, good yields of small, delicious cream-colored peas, great for growing in the South, one of the parent varieties of Zipper Cream, an heirloom of the late 1800s." Gettle lists it at MR, which would indicate it's in tight supply. This is supported by the fact it is not listed in his catalog.
Weaver, who adds that it's best for the deep South, got his seed originally from J.L. Hudson. So you might check the Hudson catalog to see if it's still listed.
What you are looking for is conk or green acre peas. Zipper cream peas are very close in taste, just easier to shell, and a little larger. Check Victory seed company, as they are one of the only places have found them. If not mistaken they call them Texas cow peas. There is a company in Plant City, FL,- (Southwestern Produce) that will send them to you already shelled and frozen. Not all bad if you can't get them any other way. Have done it a couple of times since moving to Colorado.

The Church of England's commitment to advance the cause of women took another step forward March 26 with the appointment of Rachel Treweek, 52, as the next Bishop of Gloucester in the southwest region of England.
That makes three women bishops in the space of three months since the church overcame its long-standing opposition to women bishops late last year. On March 25, the church appointed its second woman bishop, Alison White, 58, as suffragan bishop of Hull.
But Thursday's announcement was even more dramatic. Treweek will be the first to run a diocese on her own. She will be one rank below archbishop and will become the first woman bishop to sit in the House of Lords, the British Parliament's Upper House.
Twenty-six "Lords Spiritual" — all Anglican, all male — sit in the House of Lords.
In a statement, Treweek said the appointment was "an immense joy and privilege."
This year, Good Friday and the start of Passover occur on the same date: Friday, April 3. The coincidence is no accident.
Jesus' pilgrimage to Jerusalem to celebrate the eight-day Jewish festival marking the Hebrew slaves' exodus from Egyptian slavery was a religious requirement for Jews of his day. After his death by Roman crucifixion, Passover became an integral part of the Easter story, and Jesus' Last Supper was like an early version of what later became the Passover seder meal.
In past years, I anonymously attended Good Friday services in New York and sat alongside Christians as they commemorated the death of Jesus as recounted in the New Testament Gospel of John. I alternated each year between Roman Catholic and Protestant churches because I was interested in how preachers handled John's 71 references to the Jewish people, a text that's often called "radioactive" because of its negative teaching about Jews and their alleged culpability in killing Jesus.
I attend the most solemn Christian service of the year knowing it had often been a day of dread and even death for many European Jewish communities.
California Attorney General Kamala Harris asked a state court March 25 for an order allowing her to avoid processing a citizen-proposed anti-gay ballot measure that calls for executing gays with "bullets to the head."
Harris said the so-called "Sodomite Suppression Act" proposed and named by Huntington Beach attorney Matthew McLaughlin "not only threatens public safety, it is patently unconstitutional, utterly reprehensible and has no place in a civil society."
She filed an action asking the court for declaratory relief and judicial authorization allowing her to avoid issuing a title and summary for the proposal. An official state title and summary are necessary steps in authorizing a ballot initiative's sponsors to seek the signatures needed to be placed before voters.
Without the court order, Harris said she would be compelled by law to proceed with the measure, which would authorize the killing of gays and lesbians in the state.
My friend sent this link to me the other day, as it's something we're considering doing ourselves. The idea is simple, though would take some effort and a little courage to do well.
You get artists, singers, musicians willing to go out into the streets and share their music with anyone they meet, in a spirit of engagement, community, and purveyors of joyfully selfless and unexpected moments.
You go where the people are (sound familiar?).
You have a purpose (not to recruit people into your church; that's selfish and not something I remember Jesus focusing on as much as being a healer and servant).
You give everyone you encounter an opportunity both to participate and to engage the cause.
This (below) is a pop-up church in a train station in the U.K. Personally I could have done without the giant crosses in the middle — but if nothing else, it helped share attention with the people involved, which should be part of the point. They're inviting people into a sort of flash-mob singalong of "Lean on Me," a spot-on choice for Good Friday in my universe. Then people are given a chance to drop a few coins, some food, or whatever they have to give into a donation space for a local book bank.
WATCH: Pop Up Church
Then there's the more recent pragmatic argument: you should want gender parity because of how it will help your own family, business, or city. In short, inequality and violence harms the women who are your partners and friends. Some suggest that it's mighty convenient that men are ready to take a stand when we finally see how it benefits us. But one female friend advised me that men should ease up on themselves: "Just deliver gender parity, and we'll gladly forget HOW exactly you got there. Deal?"
According to the Global Gender Gap Report released at the latest World Economic Forum, it will take 80 years to reach gender parity in pay, status, governance, etc. In the year 2095, my daughters would be approaching 100 years old, and my mother, wife, two sisters, aunts and so forth would be long dead along with me and all the women that I care about today. Why wait 80 more years? It's time for all men to lean in and help cut that number in half (and then some).
I've joked before that having two older sisters is what every boy needs to make the world spin around more equitably. If not biological sisters, then let's find older sisters for every boy. Hopefully with gender parity cut down to 20 years from 80, my 7-year-old son will need to work twice as hard to "get ahead," since he'll finally be competing fairly with the other half of the sky. May it be so.
Someone recently asked me how I answer critics of the Open Letter to Franklin Graham that I co-authored last week. The points of particular interest were these:
1. In the spirit of Matthew 18, how do you justify writing an open letter to Graham without first going to him and speaking with him in private?
2. Your letter seems to advocate disobedience to the police. Is that what you're saying?
Great questions! They're especially relevant as we close the season of Lent and look forward toward Holy Week. For it is Holy Week when Jesus himself had the most interaction with the earthly authorities of his day.
The first line of the first paragraph of our letter explained that we write in the spirit of Matthew 18 in order to reconcile. Our intent in that was not to bash Dr. Graham; it was to make him aware of the need for reconciliation.
But why didn't you go to Graham privately first, some have asked.
Notice the actual language of Matthew 18. Jesus says "If another member of the church sins against you, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone."
Jesus does not say, "If another member of the church sins against millions, and hundreds of thousands begin to follow his lead on the issue, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone."
This is a very important point. There is a difference between sin that affects one person and the sin of a leader that has potential to oppress and lead the church astray.
In Galatians 2:11-17, Paul publicly confronts Peter when his sin threatens to harm the whole church.
The only murky thing in Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief, HBO's scathing new documentary is: What will happen to the church that sci-fi writer L. Ron Hubbard built more than 50 years ago after it airs?
The two-hour film directed by Academy Award-winning director Alex Gibney is a merciless examination of the Church of Scientology, the religion/business/self-help empire created by Hubbard, who died in 1986. The film, which airs March 29 on HBO, alleges the church has practiced physical, psychological, and financial abuse of its current and former members for decades.
And while the film is based on Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Lawrence Wright's 2013 book with an almost identical title, the film manages something the book could not — it allows viewers to look into the eyes of former Scientologists as they describe years of abuse they say they suffered willingly at the hands of the church and the ultimate toll it took: lost relationships, broken lives, empty bank accounts, and more.
The film is so unsparing — particularly in its portrait of David Miscavige, who became the church's "ecclesiastical leader" after Hubbard's death and reportedly rules it like a tyrant — that the filmmakers and others who study Scientology say they hope it will prompt internal changes and greater transparency in the church, something it has resisted in the past.
President Obama will welcome Pope Francis to the White House during the pontiff's U.S. visit in September to "continue the dialogue … on their shared values and commitments on a wide range of issues," White House press secretary Josh Earnest said March 26.
The meeting with the president and first lady will take place on Sept. 23, apparently near the start of a visit — the first to the U.S. by the Argentine pope — that will take Francis from the U.S. Capitol to New York and the United Nations and will conclude with a huge outdoor Mass in Philadelphia.
"During the visit, the President and the Pope will continue the dialogue, which they began during the President's visit to the Vatican in March 2014, on their shared values and commitments on a wide range of issues," Earnest said in a statement.
Those issues, he said, include "caring for the marginalized and the poor; advancing economic opportunity for all; serving as good stewards of the environment; protecting religious minorities and promoting religious freedom around the world; and welcoming and integrating immigrants and refugees into our communities."
On the first night of Passover, Jews ask aloud, "Why is this night different from all other nights?"
For a group of 150-plus women gathered March 22 at Congregation Beth El north of Washington, D.C., that traditional question was followed by an alternative: "Why is this seder different from other seders?"
Answer: "At other seders, men traditionally lead the service. At this seder, women are the leaders."
Women's seders are not new. The women who gathered at Beth El on Sunday, 12 days before the holiday begins on April 3, have been at it for 19 years. These seders began in or near cities with substantial Jewish populations about a generation ago, when fewer women played leading roles in synagogues and other institutions of Jewish life.
Today, women in the Conservative, Reform, and Reconstructionist movements of Judaism in the U.S., which account for about 90 percent of synagogue-affiliated Jews, lead congregations as rabbis, cantors, and synagogue presidents.
Still, women's seders proliferate, and each year, their guest lists grow.
Pope Francis appears more popular than ever among American Catholics, and he hasn't even visited the U.S. yet, a trip that is planned for September and could well boost his visibility — and appeal — even further.
But will Francis find American Catholics filling the pews? Or just loving the pope from afar? That's one of the big — and so far unanswered — questions about his remarkable papacy.
Now, one researcher may have found some signs, albeit tentative, of an incipient "Francis effect."
Mark Gray of Georgetown University's Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate crunched the Catholic numbers from the 2014 General Social Survey, the go-to resource for sociologists. The GSS began in 1972 and is conducted every two years using face-to-face interviews with a national random sample of adults.
Gray noted that when asked to characterize the strength of their religious affiliation, 34 percent of Catholics said it was "strong," up from 27 percent in 2012, the year before Francis was elected.
That 7-point rise was a "significant bounce," Gray said.

Bookworm Meets Bookworm in 2015
Man oh man I've missed blogging, or book blogging, because I guess I do a little bit of blogging on my site bethpriddy.com/blog. Only that's mostly photography work, or ALL photography work, and it's just NOT the same as discussing what I love and don't love about my current reads.
I'm actually reading again. And a lot. I'm also engaging more in the book community after a long absence and it feels so good.
I don't expect anyone to read this and I probably won't go crazy with promoting for readership. I just need a place to compose short little reviews on books based on why I did or did not like them. Moving forward it'll be less in-depth analysis of the books, and more short write-ups on what moved me or made me cringe with each read. I'm never going to tell someone NOT to read a book, because it could be their main jam, so this seems like a good middle ground.
Thanks to all the beautiful bloggers who have welcomed me back on Twitter; you guys are the best!

Thoughts on Turning 30
It's hard to believe that I started this blog shortly before my 26th birthday. It seems like a lifetime ago. I seem like a completely different person. Reading posts and viewing pictures shows growth that is never actually tangible until it's all out there to view from start to finish. I like it.
I've been asked by nearly everyone I know how I feel about reaching 30, about leaving my twenties and becoming something that, I want to say, is more grownup. I never have an answer. Or I usually just say, "hmm, I don't really know." I understand the connotation: it's more a question of "how are you dealing with getting old(er)?"
I guess I should respond with something like frightened. Or maybe sad. But, honestly, I'm going with thankful. Yes, I'm thankful to have reached 30, to have spent thirty years with my parents love, to have had the opportunity to witness all the world has to offer and to have occasionally gone out there and taken part, to have met a partner who complements me, to have become an aunt to four amazing kiddos, and to have finally found something I can do that generates income while also feeding my soul.
There are, of course, things I wish I had done in the years leading up to this milestone. I should have saved more, I should have spent less, I should have taken more opportunities, been out in the world instead of stuck in my little corner (hello, 22-year-old Beth), handled difficult situations better, and on and on. However, going back in time isn't a reality, so there's not much I can do except strive to do all these things moving forward. I won't say these are regrets. I've moved past the age where I let my regrets overwhelm me because there's no benefit in ruminating on something I know I could have handled better. My early twenties were terrible. I did well in college but got caught up in things and people I should have avoided from the start. I barely made it through that time, both physically and emotionally, and I can only say that I'd never choose to relive those years.
So generally, when people ask me how I feel, I honestly want to say that I'm happy about the inevitable prospect. I like thirty-year-old Beth. She's mature, isn't so self-conscience, is ready to jump into a big project and fight to get it off the ground, she's done worrying about everything, and she understands herself more than ever. And while I've made hugh improvements as a person, I still feel that my life should be led with more purpose. Less immediate gratification. More work. Less expecting things to happen. More simply. Less consumer-driven. I could go on and on. I need to work for health and happiness and living in the present, for me, right now. Those are my goals for 30 and beyond. I had dreams prior to this point of creating a great big list of 30 items before 30 and marking them off one by one. I love those lists, but just never sat myself down and did it. So instead of a list, I'm going to be more purposeful and use this written proclamation as a reminder that I need to work to get what I want and to prioritize goals that will matter when I look back 30 years from now... you know, when everyone's asking me about how I feel about turning 60.
Dreaming of Bavaria...
Füssen, Germany
Ahhh... to be surrounded by those mountains again.
What are you dreaming of today?
Honeymoon Sneak Peek
Salzburg, Austria
My photography business, bethpriddy.com, is booming! I'm so busy I can't keep my head straight so apologies for the lack of posts here.
The honeymoon came and went and it was AMAZING. Sadly, I haven't had a chance to sit down and edit most of the photos I snapped while abroad, but wanted to share a little something for the time being. Here's a shot of Salzburg, Austria-- the prettiest city in the land. I fell in love instantly and can't wait to see more someday!
Stay tuned for updates on my recent RIP IX reads:
Broken Monsters by Lauren Beukes was CRAZY good. Loved it.
Making headway on The Haunting of Hill House even if I didn't finish it in time to participate with everyone in the readalong.
And hopefully getting to Tana French's The Secret Place before Halloween. Oh, and The Shining too.
What are you reading/doing/loving? I'd love to hear!

Seasonal Reads with the RIP IX Challenge
Every year a large number of readers in the blogging community get together and read seasonal, spooky reads to celebrate Autumn and Halloween. Because it's my absolute favorite season, and reading event, and because I just love to read, I'm committing for the 4th year in a row and urge you to do the same!
So what is it, exactly...
Pick a book/movie from the following genres:
Share on Facebook|

So what is it, exactly...
Pick a book/movie from the following genres:
Dark Fantasy.
Or anything sufficiently moody that shares a kinship with the above.
That is what embodies the stories, written and visual, that we celebrate with the R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril event.
As time has wound on this event has been honed down to two simple rules:
1. Have fun reading (and watching).
2. Share that fun with others.
2. Share that fun with others.
My reading list (fingers crossed):
1) The Shining - Stephen King (I'll be attempting the novel and the movie!)
2) Broken Monsters - Lauren Beukes
3) The Secret Place - Tana French
4) The Haunting of Hill House - Shirley Jackson (The Estella Society is hosting a readalong.)
So.. what will you be reading??

Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
A 'must do' for Las Vegas travellers
Very well organised. Very enjoyable excursion.
everything was perfect , good service , I will use viator next time
Great Service and Great Trip
All 4 of us really enjoyed Helicopter ride, want my wife and son go to with next time.
What a fantastic trip! Our pilot, John, had a great sense of humor and entertained us the whole journey through with laughs. While I thought going on a helicopter would be scary, I found it to be quite safe! I thoroughly enjoyed the bird's eye view of the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and the Strip. What an incredible way to enjoy the natural beauty of the mountains and see the shiny lights of Vegas. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Vegas!
We had the most fantastic time. Bob, our pilot, was the best. We were so lucky, the sunset was the best of the week. This was the hightlight of our Las Vegas trip. Thank you so much for making it so memorable
I bought this helicopter tour for my wife for her birthday to hoover dam and las vegas strip and she said that it was VERY smooth and would do it again. Loved every minute of it. Pilot was great.
Awesome and smooth equipment. We had a super pilot. The views were more than I expected. I'll make a point to do this again the next time I'm in Vegas!!!!
The Twilight helicopter tour was a simply awsome experience. We weren't flying on a very windy evening and the pilot managed to make the ride smooth and enjoyable. Nothing like seeing the Vegas lights at sunset. For the price you wont be disappointed. The Limo transferes to and from out hotel were an added bonus .. A must do for your Vegas trip !
Best part about the trip was the pilot, he was great and funny and did an awesome job. Very smooth ride would have liked to seen the dam for a little longer but I would definitely recommend.
It was spectacular. It also happened to be one of the most beautiful sunsets EVER!
I was lucky enough to sit in the front, with a good 180 degree+ view. I would have hated to be stuck in one of the middle seats in the back, not next to a window. Great trip.
Absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend this trip. The company were brilliant and our pilot..Cody was excellent. The only complaint I had was the limousine pick up and drop off. They were late picking us up and did not have enough cars to take everyone back. But the helicopter company were fantastic. Definitley do it again.

Mosaic Buttons Bowl
By: Heidi Borchers
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Change the look of your entire space with upcycled ideas like this Mosaic Buttons Bowl from Heidi Borchers. Use random buttons from your stash to create a mosaic look. The more colorful and mismatched the buttons, the more your bowl will stand out!
If you're using a wood bowl for this project, start by sanding it down. Begin gluing buttons to the surface of the bowl - start with the big ones and then fill in the small ones. Once the glue dries, put on gloves and begin applying grout directly to the piece. Use your finger to get rid of excess and then take a sponge to the piece to remove any leftover grout. Use a hair dryer to help dry your bowl. Once the grout is completely dry, you can use a wet wipe to clean off the surface.
For a step-by-step photo tutorial of this project, check out Colorful Upcycled Button Bowl.

Paintng on soap
I have been reading the posts on the gallery about painting on soaps and have something to add. I like to use spray laquer, one light coat before painting and another after painting to seal the paint. Walmart has it just be sure you're buying the clear gloss.Check the lid, that's the quickest way to see for me.Besides soap the laquer is good for lots of projects. This is quick and easy, just line up the bars in a shallow box and spray over it quickly. I like the gloss as it really brings out the colors.I usually buy soap at Walgreen's, their brand, as they have a pretty marbeled blue and also a marbled green and it's on sale a lot of times. Unfortunately I don't have any pics of the soap but have plenty of other pics and am having so much fun since I learned to post them. Love this forum. Nancy
So Nancelee, are you saying that you think the spray on gloss sealer works as well as or better than the brush on sealer? Sure would be easier, I'm sure.
That's why it is so great that we can all share ideas on this forum So many times the Paint companies will make us believe that we need more expensive specialty products, when in fact, the products we already have on hand and use all the time will do the job just as well.
I'll have to give this a try. How is the scent on the Walgreen's brand soap? That was what bothered me most about the soap I used.
Yes, I prefer the spray laquer over a brush on sealer and feel it works as well. My GD's love to use it and you know they aren't careful as far as the design staying on but it does. Try and experiment with a few bars and see what you think but by at walmart.....it's cheaper there.And you can always use it for many other things as well such as mailboxes, stepping stones and other outdoor and indoor projects. I agree, in the painting industry they want us to use as many specialty items as they can push on us. That's money in their pocket.
Walgreen's soap does have a scent but the sealer helps that on the topside. Maybe hold the bar in a piece of tissue paper or soft cloth?
Sharing ideas is a great experience where we can all pitch in to fine tune our projects.....and sometimes it takes a ton of fine tuning for me!

I would say no. The two episodes that have been broadcast so far deal a lot with character introductions, and the series as a whole has sort of been billed as an origin story, at least as far as I can tell.

|Lupin is a bit like James Bond, or Zatoichi, or Jack Ryan. It may help to know a little something but they are all franchises whose single parts stand on their own.

Not at all. Most of Lupin is very episodic. Each movie, special, TV episode stands on it's own. The 1st and 2nd season are loosely linked together but that is about it.
The more you do watch though the more you'll understand a lot of the reasoning behind of what the characters do.

Some people say Lupin is a gentlemen thief like in Cagliostro. Others say he's a vile pervert like in the older versions of the manga. This new series shows events from Fujiko's point of view. Each Lupin story is like a legend that may or may not be true.
With Gundam, you have multiple "universes", each with their own time line. Some harken back to the original series while others go a completely different route.
With Lupin, there really is no "continuity". With the exception of a few episodes of the TV series, there's no need to watch things in order and even when things contradict each other it's ok. The Episode 0 special perfectly defines the franchise: You see what you think is the story of the gang meeting for the 1st time, and then at the end... everything is thrown in doubt!

This is my first watch of a Lupin anime (I know, I know... I need to get with the program) but during the first episode I never felt as if I wasn't privvy to what was going on. No overly elaborate in-jokes, no references to previous installments... Just action from start to finish.

I think I am in love. This is my first real taste of the Lupin franchise (I watched the Detective Conan crossover special but I don't really count that) and I absolutely loved it. The music, the artwork, the voice actors, everything! Someone mentioned that this series is a work of art and I am incline to agree.
And why are some people making a big deal about the nudity? It is just boobs. We all know/seen what boobs look like so what is the big deal? Lighten up, folks.

I was a little worried the new voices would not work out but they got it near identical. This series really captures the essence of what Lupin the 3rd is all about. I'm also glad Funi got this and with the original season coming soon from Discotek. This is all just amazing. I never would have thought Lupin would have made such a huge comeback.

I watched the first epsiode, and enjoyed it overall, typical awesome Lupin III style sillyness & awesomness (are those proper words? Meh oh well they are now.)
Anyway, yes I believe I shall defiantly be watching all the episodes of the series from Funimations streams, and hope & pray it does good enough to get a dub and physical release down the line.

Though admittedly my prior experience with Lupin is minor at best (a few movies and a geomantic toss of episodes), this series has matured a typically zany atmosphere to something metonymic to noir detective stories--more introspective with a stoic touch, the "shit sucks, but take it with a grin" attitude--which I find particularly attractive. Bebop had a similar mise en scene (Ganymede Shuffle, My Funny Valentine, Honky Tonk Woman, etc.), but I think this show capitalizes on it[1], especially in the aesthetic itself--one cannot help but appreciate the merit of the art in and of itself. Like others have said--and I dig how Spastic Minnow put it--this series facilitates new audiences, but simultaneously provides just as much incentive for the most familiar of fans[2] (I surmise as much, at least).
[1] This isn't to detract from Bebop, but that the noir aspect was subtler; maybe something like comparing Ruby My Dear to 'Round Midnight in that this series is more solemn.
[2] Compare to the in progress Evangelion tetralogy which attempts the same multivalence with a rather poor effect (namely because it is just a retelling in which extensive re-hashing is inevitable).

Exposing Benghazi Baloney
After a Tuesday morning meeting with U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, Senators John McCain, Lindsay Graham and Kelly Ayotte said concerns they had about Rice's misleading statements regarding the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya which resulted in the deaths of the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans have grown, not diminished.
McCain, R-AZ, had said he might oppose Rice's nomination to replace Hillary Clinton as secretary of State because Rice should have known the statements she made in interviews just a few days after the Sept. 11 attack were false.
In those interviews, Rice repeated the Party line about the attack having emerged from a protest over an anti-Islamist video. : Rice apparently parroted that narrative in order to satisfy the needs of Obama's re-election campaign. : The narrative, much of which had already been repeatedly trumpeted during the Democratic National Convention was, al Qaeda had been decimated and was losing ground, public sentiments in the Middle East toward the United States had improved, and the attack was in no way connected to Obama's foreign policy. : It was later learned the attack was a well-organized terror assault by an al Qaeda related group timed for the anniversary of 9/11.
David Petraeus, former director of the CIA, testified under oath before a congressional investigative committee that from the beginning the CIA had advised the White House that the Benghazi attack was an organized assault by al Qaeda linked terrorists.: Petraeus also testified that the approved CIA report was later changed to diminish terrorist involvement.
After meeting with Rice, Graham, R-SC, said: "The bottom line is that I'm more disturbed than I was before … about how four Americans died in Benghazi, Libya by Ambassador Rice does not to do justice to the reality at the time."

NATICK, Mass., Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TwinStrata, an innovator in cloud-integrated storage solutions, today unveiled CloudArray 4.0, its cloud storage gateway that seamlessly integrates enterprise-class storage capabilities with cloud storage, further reducing IT costs, time and administration required by traditional data storage.
- CloudArray 4.0 represents the first cloud-integrated storage product to natively support both network-attached storage (NAS) and storage area network (SAN) protocols.
- Fully integrated high-availability appliances and breadth of storage options deliver unprecedented choice and flexibility to organizations of all sizes.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111115/NE06670LOGO )
Exceptional Flexibility Gives Customers Control
Designed to deliver customers access to cloud storage how, when and where they want it, CloudArray 4.0 supports:
- Server Message Block (SMB), SMB2, Common Internet File System (CIFS) and Active Directory for file-based NAS access, as well as the previously available iSCSI-based SAN access
- 20+ cloud storage providers, with the addition of Dell, Google, HP Cloud Services, IBM SmartCloud, SoftLayer and others this year
- In-cloud appliance deployments in cloud compute environments to deliver superior disaster recovery for on-premise environments and primary storage for cloud-based infrastructures [1]
- Both subscription-based (bundling appliance with cloud storage) and "bring your own cloud" (perpetual license) models
Continuous Data Access Reduces Risk
With the release of CloudArray 4, TwinStrata is also introducing a new line of fully integrated high-availability appliances that provide superior protection against disk failure in a 2U enclosure. Branded as the TwinStrata CloudArray P300 series, the new high-availability options begin with a 6 terabyte onboard usable capacity with hybrid SSD options available.
Improved Manageability Delivers Advanced Visibility
New management functions deliver advanced visibility across both historic and present operations for even greater control, planning ability and consistent access. The new dashboard and GUI provide easier visual access, monitoring and reporting on data stored in the cloud and locally, cache and cloud data flows, and capacity usage in real time.
Subscription pricing for both virtual and physical appliances begins at $0.19 per gigabyte per month for both the appliance and cloud storage, while perpetual pricing begins at $4,995.
Jerry Bogart, Infrastructure Manager, ChemPoint.com:
- "In the two months since we started using TwinStrata CloudArray, we've already dramatically reduced the pain and risk exposure of our backup and disaster recovery efforts. The new CIFS capability and improved dashboard simplify our storage management even further, and the in-cloud CloudArray option provides me even greater peace of mind."
Mark Peters, senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group:
- "Recent ESG research has found that organizations spending money on storage are increasingly turning to cloud storage services to expand capacity in lieu of buying new on-site infrastructure, and enterprise organizations are leading this trend. TwinStrata features like native SAN/NAS, high security, high availability, advanced functions and ease of use appeal directly to these larger businesses. With CloudArray 4.0, TwinStrata is really 'filling out' and strengthening the enterprise nature of its offering, while keeping its attractive price point."
Nicos Vekiarides, CEO, TwinStrata:
- "CloudArray 4.0 represents a monumental advancement for cloud integrated storage solutions. More than a 'cloud storage gateway,' our appliances combine choice, simplicity and affordability into a storage platform that offers near-unlimited capacity and handles a broad range of applications. Today, we are the only solution to natively and completely support both NAS and SAN protocols, demonstrating our continued technical leadership."
