Migrating traditional client/server applications to Windows Azure Virtual Machines is what Don Noonan does every day. The majority of these workloads use Active Directory Domain Services as their authentication provider, or in other words, classic Windows authentication. In this post Don walks us through the best practices high level architecture and the basic building blocks of creating a private forest within Windows Azure.
If Active directory is not available, you better be
As we all know, if AD is down so is your app. Imagine setting up a single domain controller responsible for both name resolution (DNS) and authentication. You just created another synonym for single-point-of-failure. At a minimum you should deploy two (2) domain controllers, and they should be created as part of an Availability Set. This will ensure that at least one (1) domain controller is always available for authentication and name resolution requests. If you're considering saving a few bucks by deploying a single domain controller in non-production environments, let me save you a few more. The first call you get from development or QA will cost you at least 6 months of compute. Telling a dozen upset people on a conference call that you wanted to save the company $50/month will sound pretty bad…
A private forest for me? oh you shouldn't have
There are currently two major scenarios for providing Windows authentication in Windows Azure Virtual Machines:
- Deploy a new private forest
- Extend an existing on-premise forest
In this blog we'll cover deploying a new private forest. Here is a quick Visio of a classic 3-tier application (using Windows Azure features) to get us started:
As you can see, we have a management subnet that contains our domain controllers, as well as separate database and application "tiers".
Stop Talking and Start Deploying
As with any new deployment to Windows Azure Virtual Machines, you will perform the following high-level steps:
- Create an affinity group (See Bob Hunt's Article in the Series)
- Create a virtual network (See Bob Hunt's Article in the Series)
- Create a storage account (See Kevin Remde's Article in the Series)
- Create virtual machines (See Tommy Patterson's Article in the Series)
While creating the virtual network, you will need to specify that the domain controllers will also be providing name resolution for all of the servers in your deployment. You can do this in the Windows Azure management portal as well as through the management web service. Here is how you do this via PowerShell:
Specifying custom DNS servers using PowerShell
Example command line:
Set-AzureVNetConfig –ConfigurationPath "C:\networkConfiguration.xml"
Contents of C:\networkConfiguration.xml:
<DnsServer name="skydc01" IPAddress="10.1.1.4" />
<DnsServer name="skydc02" IPAddress="10.1.1.5" />
<VirtualNetworkSite name="skyvn" AffinityGroup="skyag">
<Subnet name="Management">
<Subnet name="Database">
<Subnet name="Middleware">
<Subnet name="Application">
<DnsServerRef name="skydc01" />
<DnsServerRef name="skydc02" />
In the example above, the IP addresses used assume the domain controllers are the first virtual machines created on the Management subnet. Let's make sure that's true by creating them now:
Creating Highly Available Domain Controllers using PowerShell
Relevant excerpts from createService.ps1:
$instanceSize = 'Small'
$imageName = 'MSFT__Win2K8R2SP1-Datacenter-201210.01-en.us-30GB.vhd'
$subnetName = 'Management'
$availabilitySetName = 'skydc'
$password = '@skyDc01'
$vmName = 'skydc01'
$skydc01 = New-AzureVMConfig -Name $vmName -AvailabilitySetName $availabilitySetName -ImageName $imageName -InstanceSize $instanceSize |
Add-AzureProvisioningConfig -Windows -Password $password |
Set-AzureSubnet $subnetName
$password = '@skyDc02'
$vmName = 'skydc02'
$skydc02 = New-AzureVMConfig -Name $vmName -AvailabilitySetName $availabilitySetName -ImageName $imageName -InstanceSize $instanceSize |
Add-AzureProvisioningConfig -Windows -Password $password |
Set-AzureSubnet $subnetName
Once you've created the servers, you will need to make them domain controllers, also known as promotion.
Promoting a Server to a Domain Controller using DCPROMO or PowerShell
Depending on what operating system you have chosen, you can automate forest creation via command line. In the following examples, be sure to replace DOMAIN_HERE with the desired domain name, and replace passwords with those corresponding to temporary password you assigned to the local administrator account on the first (primary) server.
Windows Server 2008 R2 – Create a new forest using DCPROMO
dcpromo.exe /unattend:C:\primaryDomainController.txt
Contents of C:\primaryDomainController.txt:
; New forest promotion
Windows Server 2012 – Create a new forest using PowerShell
Contents of C:\primaryDomainController.ps1:
Import-Module ADDSDeployment
Install-ADDSForest `
-CreateDnsDelegation:$false `
-DatabasePath "C:\Windows\NTDS" `
-DomainMode "Win2012" `
-DomainName "[DOMAIN_HERE].com" `
-DomainNetbiosName "DOMAIN_HERE" `
-ForestMode "Win2012" `
-InstallDns:$true `
-LogPath "C:\Windows\NTDS" `
-NoRebootOnCompletion:$false `
-SysvolPath "C:\Windows\SYSVOL" `
Part of your homework will be to create the second domain controller in the new forest. There will need to be slight changes made to the answer files above.
What's Next?
Creating the rest of servers required by your application seems like the logical next step. However, there are a handful of important tasks I like to do prior to creating ANY additional virtual machines:
Create domain user accounts that will be used for future system administration.
Create containers for major objects such as server computer accounts.
Create core group policies for significant items such as:
- Remote Desktop Services – Enable Keep-Alives (article posted previously at Skylera)
- User Account Control
- Windows Firewall
- Windows Update
Important Considerations
When creating a private forest, consider the amount of administrative overhead involved vs. level of isolation. For example, you may want to have a single forest for all pre-production environments so that you only need to perform user account tasks in one place. This is easy to do in Windows Azure.

text: Ge monogram zmc1095sf02 microwave Christopher L. • Saint Charles, IL • December 15, 2014 Appliance: General Electric Counter Top Microwave ZMC1095SF02 My Repair & Advice Featured Story Wife let me know the microwave was making grinding noise while I was in garage fixing her car starter, never a dull moment. Further questioning she also said it wan't heating the food. Due to being an odd sized built in $$ unit I had to have repaired. I was getting quotes in the $4-500 range for just the magnetron. I was pretty confident the magnetron was the issue and also ordered a new capacitor and diode since I was going to be in there and a lot of money ahead repairing myself. About 15 screws on the unit's sheet metal case with a cordless drill to remove & I had complete access to the internals. A little daunting shorting the capacitor prior to digging in for the repair, the unit sat for about a week and the internal capacitor's resistor must have discharged the capacitor since it didn't even spark when I crossed the terminals. NOTE: do not trust the capacitor will self discharge as designed incase it too is faulty, they still need to be manually discharged, if you absorb the voltage it may be the last thing you do. 6 screws removed the plastic shroud over the magnetron as well as a bracket that holds the capacitor. There were 4 harnesses to unplug and 4 nuts holding in the magnetron. It was pretty simple and designed for servicing. GE had a 10 year warranty on the magnetron I believe and typical GE product it was 10 years old and just out of warranty. I ordered parts at 4:00 p/m on a Thursday and Fedex delivered them the next day at 9:30 a/m. I will be ordering more parts from AppliancePartsPros.com in the future if I need them, all GE OEM parts, great pricing and delivered Jimmie Johns fast! Was this review helpful to you?

Version 066 Exam 1 chiu (57460) 1 This print-out should have 19 questions. Multiple-choice questions may continue on the next column or page find all choices before answering. 001 10.0 points A lightweight metal ball hangs from a thread, to the right of an plastic rod. (See Figure 1.) Both are initially uncharged. The plastic (insulator) case: You rub the left end of the plastic rod with wool, deposit- ing charged molecular fragments whose total negative charge is that of 1 10 9 electrons. The metal (conductor) case: You perform a similar experiment with a conducting metal rod. You touch the left end of the rod with a charged metal object, depositing the same excess electrons to the left end. You then remove the object. StatementI : Consider two cases below: (i). There are polarized dipoles inside of the rod. (ii). There are electrons at the surface. Ia. (i) is applicable for the insulator. (ii) is applicable for the conductor. Ib. (ii) is applicable for the insulator. (i) is applicable for the conductor. StatementII : Compare the attraction be- tween the rod and the ball IIa. The insulator rod has more attraction. IIb. The conductor rod has more attraction. StatementIII : IIIa. The induced dipole moment for a con- ductor occurs over a macroscopic length scale. IIIb. The induced dipole moment for a con- ductor occurs over an atomic length scale. 1. Ib, IIa, IIIb 2. Ia, IIb, IIIa correct 3. Ia, IIa, IIIb 4. Ib, IIa, IIIa 5. Ia, IIa, IIIa 6. Ia, IIb, IIIb 7. Ib, IIb, IIIa 8. Ib, IIb, IIIb Explanation: Answer to statement I: The excess negative charge at the left end leads to the alignment of induced dipoles in the interior of the insulator rod. For the metal rod case, free electrons are on the surface of the rod. Ia is correct. Answer to statement II: Since electrons are free to move along the surface of a conductor, the average location of the free electrons in the conductor is closer to the average location of the induced negative charges in in the ball than is the case for the insulator. So the former gives a stronger attraction. IIb is correct. Answer to statement III: The induced dipole moment for the conductor is dis- tributed throughout the conductor. Hence, the dipole moment induced is across a macro- scopic length scale. IIIa is correct. 002 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points Suppose you want to create an electric field = ( 2 , 2 , ) N/C at the origin located at ( , , ) .

Article: Significance of apoptosis related proteins on malignant transformation of ovarian tumors: A comparison between Bcl-2/Bax ratio and p53 immunoreactivity[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this study, we compared the immunoreactivities of Bcl-2, Bax and p53 proteins in ovarian tumors and related the immunohistochemical findings to the histological type of the tumors. Formalin-fixed, paraffin wax-embedded tissue sections from 40 patients who had serous-mucinous borderline tumors and serous-mucinous adenocarcinoma of the ovary (n=10 each) were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (H&E). After histopathological examination, serial sections were stained immunohistochemically with primary antibodies to Bcl-2, Bax and p53 using an avidin-biotin-peroxidase method. A semi-quantitative grading system was used to compare the immunohistochemical staining intensities. The nuclear DNA fragmentation of apoptosis was determined using TUNEL method. As a result of immunohistochemical staining, increased immunoreactivity of Bcl-2 was observed in adenocarcinomas when compared to borderline tumors (P<0.001). Strong immunoreactivity of Bcl-2 and mild immunoreactivities of Bax and p53 were detected in ovarian adenocarcinomas. There were no significant statistical differences in the immunoreactivity of Bax among the histological type of ovarian tumors. Whereas a balance was observed between the immunoreactivities of Bcl-2 and Bax in the borderline cases, and this balance was strongly changed toward the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein in patients with adenocarcinoma. TUNEL staining of sections indicated apoptotic cells in the serous borderline tumors were about 8-fold higher than in the serous adenocarcinoma. The results of this study on apoptosis-related factors might help to develop novel protective and therapeutic approaches, such as isoflavonoids and isothiocyanates, which were associated with decreased Bcl-2/Bax ratio, against the malignant epithelial ovarian tumors.Acta Histochemica 08/2014; 116(8).

Article: Immunolocalization of ERK1/2 and p-AKT in normal endometrium, endometrial hyperplasia, and early and advanced stage endometrioid endometrial adenocancer and their prognostic significance in malignant group[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective To analyze the expression patterns of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) and phosphorylated (p)-AKT in the tissues of non-pathologic endometrium, endometrial hyperplasia, and early and advanced stage endometrioid endometrial adenocancer using indirect immunohistochemistry, and also to investigate the effect of ERK1/2 and p-AKT expression patterns on prognosis in endometrioid adenocancer. Study design Immunolocalization of ERK1/2 and p-AKT was examined in six different types of endometrial tissues: proliferative endometrium (PE; n = 10, 11.2%), secretuar endometrium (SE; n = 10, 11.2%), simple hyperplasia (SH; n = 15, 16.9%), complex hyperplasia (CH; n = 3, 3.4%) and atypical complex hyperplasia (ACH; n = 10, 11.2%), which were obtained from endometrial biopsies, curettage materials, and hysterectomy specimens and classified as the benign group; and both early stage endometrioid (n = 21, 23.6%) and advanced stage endometrioid adenocancer (AC; n = 20, 22.5%), which were obtained from complete surgical staging materials and classified as the malignant group. All specimens were fixed in 10% formalin and processed using routine paraffin protocols. Immunostaining intensities were evaluated as negative or weak (assigned as low expression) and moderate or strong (assigned as high expression). Results In the malignant group, 23 of 41 patients (56.1%) had high ERK1/2 and p-AKT expression, whereas only three of 48 patients in the benign group (6.3%) had high ERK1/2 and p-AKT expression (P < 0.0001 and P < 0.0001, respectively). p-AKT expression was significantly higher in women with positive lymph nodes (OR 9.0; 95% CI: 1.2–100.0; P = 0.03). Higher expression of p-AKT was significantly associated with poor progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). In contrast, ERK1/2 expression was not associated with PFS or OS. Conclusions ERK1/2 and p-AKT can be useful in the differential diagnosis of benign vs. malignant endometrial lesions, as well as early vs. advanced stage endometrioid endometrial adenocancer. Additionally, higher p-AKT expression could be used as a marker of poor prognosis in the management of patients with endometrioid endometrial adenocancer.European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology 08/2014; 179(Aug):147-52.

ABSTRACT: Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) and Smads control intracellular signaling pathways in neurulation. Although previously reported similar experimental animal studies, the aim of this human study is to investigate the expression of TGF-β (1,2,3) and Smads (1,2,3,6,7) in aborted human fetuses with myeloschisis. MATERIAL and Twelve human fetuses with neural tube defect were obtained. They were stained with antibodies against TGF-β1, TGF-β2, TGF-β3, Smad (1,2,3), Smad 6 and Smad 7 using the indirect immunohistochemical technique. We noted mild immune reactivity of TGF-β1 and TGF-β2 in the open neural plate, motor neurons and surrounding tissue. Strong immune reactivity of TGF-β3 was shown in only open neural plate and surrounding tissue. Immunoreactivity of all Smads noted negative except Smad7. These results suggested at the site where the neural tube failed to close, TGF-β 1,2 and Smads 1,2,3,6 do not continue their activity and decrease with internal timing of embryonic development. Additionally ectodermal layers are considered by embryo as "not closed wound" and TGF-β3 activity may be an effort to repair the failed closure.Turkish neurosurgery 11/2013; 23(6):693-9.

Article: Signet-ring cell carcinoma of the breast with uterine metastasis treated with extensive cytoreductive surgery: a case report and brief review of the literature.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Primary signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) of the breast is an uncommon variant, accounting for 2-4.5% of all primary breast cancers. Secondary SRCC of the endometrium is very rare and usually originates from the breast or gastrointestinal tract. A 54-year-old, postmenopausal woman with a past history of breast cancer four years previously was admitted with abnormal uterine bleeding. An endometrial biopsy revealed undifferentiated adenocarcinoma with signet-ring cells. The patient underwent laparotomy and cytoreductive surgery was performed. Pathological analysis and immunohistochemical tests demonstrated a uterine (endomyometrial) metastasis of breast SRCC. Omentum, peritoneal surfaces and retroperitoneal lymph nodes also included tumoral tissue with signet-ring cell morphology. The patient received adjuvant systemic chemotherapy with adriamycin, cyclophosphamide and paclitaxel. This case report discusses the patient's clinical characteristics and the role of cytoreductive surgery on patient survival in SRCC of the breast metastasizing to the uterus.Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research 04/2012; 38(6):948-52.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the accuracy of a frozen section and to analyze the factors affecting frozen section results in cases of borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs). The files and pathological reports of 82 cases diagnosed with BOT at our clinic, between January 1994 and June 2009, have been retrospectively evaluated. The frozen section results were compared to the permanent paraffin section results. Accuracy, overdiagnosis, and underdiagnosis rates were estimated. The factors affecting the diagnosis were also evaluated using logistic regression analysis. The mean age was 40.16 ± 14.01 years. Of the patients, 47.6% had serous and 42.7% had mucinous histology. About 90% of the cases were in stage I. The rate of correct diagnosis with frozen section was 69.5%. The rates of overdiagnosis and underdiagnosis were 1.2 and 29.3%; respectively. The factors affecting the diagnosis were determined as, the dimension of the ovarian mass (P = 0.005), presence of a solid component (P = 0.000), preoperative CA 125 value (P = 0.016), and intraoperative rupture of the ovarian cyst (P = 0.049). In the frozen section evaluation of BOTs, the underdiagnosis that restricts the diagnostic performance of the method seems to be a major problem. A more careful approach is therefore needed, while choosing a proper surgical technique during laparotomy for ovarian masses. In order to reduce the false diagnosis and surgical morbidity, the frozen section analysis should be applied by experienced pathologists and the possible predictive factors affecting a false diagnosis should carefully be taken into consideration.Journal of cancer research and therapeutics 10/2011; 7(4):416-20.

Article: Significance of tyrosine kinase activity on malign transformation of ovarian tumors: a comparison between EGF-R and TGF-alpha.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) are members of the polypeptide growth factor family. The epidermal growth factor-receptor (EGF-R) is a receptor tyrosine kinase of the ErbB family. Many types of cancer, including ovarian cancer, display enhanced EGF-R immunoreactivity on their cell surface membranes. Also, an increase in TGF-alpha synthesis and secretion usually occurs in human carcinoma cell lines. In this study, we compared the immunoreactivities of TGF-alpha and EGF-R in ovarian tumors and related immunohistochemical findings to the histological type of the tumors. Formalin-fixed, paraffin wax-embedded tissue sections from 40 patients who had serous-mucinous borderline tumor and serous-mucinous adenocarcinoma of the ovary (n=10 each) were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and labeled for binding of primary antibodies against TGF-alpha and EGF-R using an avidin-biotin-peroxidase method. A semi-quantitative grading system was used to compare immunohistochemical labeling intensities. Increased immunoreactivity of EGF-R and moderate immunoreactivity of TGF-alpha was detected in adenocarcinomas. There was no significant difference in the immunoreactivity of TGF-alpha among the histologic types of ovarian tumors. The results of this study support the hypothesis that EGF-R may be a more useful marker than TGF-alpha in epithelial ovarian tumors.Acta Histochemica 02/2008; 110(3):256-63.

Article: Neural tissue continues its maturation at the site of neural tube closure defects: implications for prenatal intervention in human samples.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Our objective was to investigate the relation between the embryological development and neural tissue maturation at the site where the neural plate failed to form a neural tube. Samples from 15 aborted human fetuses with neural tube defects (NTD). All of the fetuses were between 20 and 25 gestational weeks old. Indicators of neural tissue maturation, formation of basal lamina, expression of integrins and neuron specific class III beta tubulin (tuj1) were investigated. To detect the adverse effects of the environment, if any, p53 and bcl-2 activity at both sites of the open and closed neural plate were investigated as well. No difference was found in the expression of maturation-related molecules at the site of the neural plate that remained open compared with the site where the neural tube is normally formed. While high p53 activity was noted in neural tissue at the site of the neural tube defect, no such activity was detected in the neural tissue where the neural tube is normally formed. Our results suggested that maturation and differentiation of neural tissue continued regardless of the failure of neural tube closure. Therefore, the neurological deficits that are encountered in NTD patients should be related to secondary damage such as amnion fluid toxicity, uterus contractions, labor, etc. It seems valuable to save the neural plate before the negative effects of the environment renders the neural tissue functionless.Child s Nervous System 06/2004; 20(5):313-20.

ABSTRACT: Integrins are a large family of cell adhesion molecules that serve as receptors involved in cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions during implantation. We studied immunohistochemical staining of integrins (alpha 3, alpha V, beta 1, and alpha 2 beta 1) and fibronectin in ectopic tubal pregnancy. Thirty fallopian tube samples with ectopic pregnancies and five normal tubal segments were obtained during ligation operations; the latter specimens served as controls in the study. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin or primary antibodies against alpha 3, beta 1, alpha V, and alpha 2 beta 1 integrins and fibronectin, using the avidin-biotin-peroxidase method. A semi-quantitative grading system was used to compare staining intensities. In the control samples, immunostaining of all integrins was found in a single layer of tall columnar epithelial cells, the lamina propria (Lp) and the muscular layer. Fibronectin staining was detected in the Lp and the muscular layer. Staining intensities of alpha 3 and beta 1 integrins and fibronectin were increased in the normal part of fallopian tubes with ectopic pregnancies. Staining of beta 1 integrin was more intense than staining of alpha 3 and fibronectin, whereas there was no difference in alpha V and alpha 2 beta 1 integrin expression between normal tubal tissue in the ectopic pregnancy group and control tubal tissue. In the tubal pregnancy group at the site of implantation, staining intensity of alpha 3 and beta 1 integrins and fibronectin was strong in decidual cells, supporting tissue and placental villi, whereas alpha V and alpha 2 beta 1 staining was mild. We concluded that integrins, especially beta 1 and alpha 3, and fibronectin may play a role in progression of tubal implantation. Although the role of integrins has not yet been clearly defined, these molecules may function as markers of normal and abnormal states of receptivity. We like to suggest that integrins and fibronectin, which are needed in utero implantation, are expressed in tubal tissues during ectopic pregnancy and are involved in ectopic implantation.Acta Histochemica 02/2004; 106(3):235-43.

ABSTRACT: Our goal in this study was to investigate the presence of angiogenesis-related factors in endometriomas by evaluating their vascular surface densities. Thirty ovarian samples were included in the study. Of these, ten were histologically confirmed endometriomas, ten were ovarian specimens in the follicular phase and ten were ovarian specimens in the luteal phase, serving as controls. Histological specimens were immunostained for von Willebrand factor (vWF: factor VIII-related antigen) and CD34. The area with the highest microvessel density in endometriosis and in the normal ovary was evaluated by using an intercept grid. All microvessels in a specific field (x 100 magnification) were counted and vascular surface density was measured, as 164.01 +/- 21.26 vs. 125.15 +/- 11.28 and 117.44 +/- 9.27 by using vWF, and as 172.97 +/- 25.64 vs. 138.65 +/- 32.21 and 120.34 +/- 18.40 by using CD34 in endometriotic, follicular and luteal ovarian samples, respectively (p < 0.001). The mean vascular surface density was significantly higher in endometriosis than in the ovarian samples of the follicular phase or the luteal phase. No significant difference was seen between normal ovarian samples. Endometriosis was associated with angiogenic properties. Having demonstrated elevated angiogenic factors in endometriotic samples, we concluded that activation of angiogenesis might be a key factor in the pathogenesis of endometriosis.Gynecological Endocrinology 04/2003; 17(2):143-50.

"That's one Dangerous Son of a Bitch"
By UltimaRatioReg
Much like our parents' generation, whose memories are indelibly stamped with the dates of December 7th, 1941, and November 22nd, 1963, the terrible and tragic events of that beautiful, sunny Tuesday ten years ago have frozen in our recollections just where we were and what we were doing when we first heard and watched the events of September 11th, 2001 unfold.
Mine is otherwise unremarkable, walking onto the editing floor of a now-defunct mapping company, and hearing someone ask for a radio to be turned on, as there had been a plane crash in New York. Just a few minutes later, the newscaster reported that a second plane had struck another building next to the first. Those words were followed by several moments of absolute silence, as all 150+ editors, several supervisors, and other managers, myself included, stood wordlessly comprehending that this was an intentional act, an attack upon the United States.
However, what has stayed with me most, what I have thought about ten thousand times in the intervening ten years, was a very brief but prognostic event that took place a few days before the September 11th attack.
The weekend prior, I had been at the Worcester, MA, Headquarters of 25th Marines, participating in a planning conference for an upcoming Command Post Exercise to be held in late-October at Camp Lejeune NC. I had spent a tour at 25th Marines as the Fire Support Coordinator, and had recently transferred to 3rd Bn 14th Marines out of North Philly, but was attending the conference as 3/14 would be in Direct Support of 25th Marines for the exercise. As fate would have it, the New York-based 2nd Bn, 25th Marines would be major participants in the October event.
That Sunday morning (September 9th, 2001), after attending Father Rocheford's Mass, I was glancing at the Intel board while we waited for the conference to resume. The page on the top of the clipboard was an image we have all since come to instantly recognize. Across the top of the page were the words "Osama/Usama bin Ladin (sic)", and a summary of his role as the leader of a little-known group of Muslim terrorists known as Al Qaeda. One of my comrades saw me reading the paper, and looked down at the picture. His comment is forever etched in my mind. "I wonder what HE's up to," he said. "That's one dangerous son of a bitch. It's only a matter of time until we hear from him again."

What oven mitt for 1850 degree infrared broiler?
I love my Capital Culinarian and have been using the broiler pan to make Ruth's Chris style filet mignon. Fabulous! However, I'm going through the oven mitts!
Last night the mitt I used (Kitchen Grips Euro Oven Mitt - good to 500F) melted to the broiler pan. I'm glad I got my hand out quickly.
Silicone gets hot.
Terry seems to work the best, at least it doesn't melt, though it does get a little browned.
What are you using with your infrared broiler?
I have a different range, but I pull out the rack the broiler pan sits on halfway out of the oven, to rearrange its contents. The edges of the rack are always much cooler than the pan itself.
Mind you, I have gone through many more pot holders with a pro-style range than I did with my previous wussy Kenmore.... The best, most insulating and heat-resistant material for oven mitts and pot holders, is wool. I've never seen wool ones for sale anywhere, but as my name indicates, I am quite capable of making my own.
If you want security when handling temperatures this high, consider welding or blacksmith's gloves. They are made of leather and are safe even in flames. We used these with a wood stove. I've worn them when putting logs directly into a roaring fire. They are bulky so you may not find them comfortable, but they do work in high heat.
I don't have my infrared broiler yet... (about ten days more and it'll be live!) but I plan to use welding gloves as I have been doing for all of my high-heat grilling (where silicon also gets way too hot!) I find that Black Stallion makes great welding gloves (for IR broiler, go for MIG rather than TIG, as the former has heat shielding/padding on the back-of-hand part, whereas TIG gloves do not). Stick welding gloves provide the absolute highest heat protection, but are more heavily padded so you sacrifice dexterity there.
For you female high-heat cooks, I have recently started using and highly recommend Angelfire (Black stallion's women-geared welding line) MIG gloves and love them. They are a lot less cumbersome than the regular welding gloves, and are nicely tailored to a woman's hand.
Be safe... :)
I have a pair of neoprene gauntlets that I use to handle the fire box on my outdoor smoker. But I don't use it for my broiler. For my broiler pan, I just use a pair of SS tongs. When the steaks are about done, I just use the tongs to angle the pan so the corner is out of the heat. By the time the steaks are done, the corner is cooled enough to handle and I can easily pull out the pan by the corner with either a pot holder or a folded kitchen towel. I also use sizzle platters under the broiler. I that case, I just handle the platter with the tongs. I use the tongs to slide the rolling racks in and out too. Love them tongs.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I think the Euro mitt (good to 500F) is neoprene and the seams melted together. Not tragic, but I paid good money for them so I don't want to totally ruin them.
I've also used tongs to assist.
Once I had a free/promo glove from Pyrex that I didn't mind ruining. Unfortunately, the printed logo instantly melted onto my broiler pan. I had to wait until the pan cooled and the paint/ink/print became brittle enough take a paint scraper to chip it off. I'm ruining gloves and broiler pan.
I've not looked into the welder's gloves. That seems to be the answer.
It's important that I get the whole broiler pan out from under the infrared as any residual food or grease can get seared into the metal. Otherwise, I'd just leave the pan in there to cool. The infrared is awesome!
Tucker Nomex Burnguard Plus Mitts. They are rated to 900 degrees.
I have used the less beefy conventional mitts for years and they're the best oven gloves out there, er, hands down.

Infinite City, whose name echoes Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities, is a mapping project that takes place in three media: a book to be published by the University of California Press in November 2010, a series of six broadside maps to be issued by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art during the last six months of 2010, and a series of six public events at locations around the city in conjunction with those broadsides. The maps document everything from murders to treasures to queer history, labor history, urban renewal, and butterfly species in San Francisco; toxins and food history, African American and shipyard history, environmental preservation, right-wing and military sites in the Bay Area; and neighborhood and local histories within San Francisco, including the coexistence of day laborer migrants and super-localized gang kids in the Mission, Fillmore Street's dense histories, and more. The maps are lush visual works, several of the 21 in collaboration with artists, and the book includes essays by Solnit and various writers on subjects related to the maps.

Police receive reports of black bear sightings in south Fargo over the weekend
FARGO - Police responded to weekend reports of a black bear in the city limits.
The latest call came into police about 7:23 a.m. Sunday. At least one report came in earlier.
A police officer, responding to the information from a dispatcher,asked if he was looking for a bear cub.
"We're going with a 300-lb black bear," the dispatcher responded.
Officers searched the area north of Interstate 94 near the power lines by 42nd Street South.

ÔÇśTALES FROM THE CRYPTKEEPERÔÇÖ AS WELL AS LIVE-ACTION SERIES ÔÇśEERIE, INDIANAÔÇÖ AND ÔÇśDARK ORACLEÔÇÖ WHEN IT ADDS THE ÔÇśFUNHOUSEÔÇÖ WEEKEND PROGRAMMING BLOCK SATURDAY, AUGUST 18 FROM 10 AM TO 12 PM ET
FEARnet, cableÔÇÖs premier destination for horror, suspense and thriller content, is adding a new two-hour weekend programming block starting August 18. The morning segment, dubbed ÔÇťFunhouse,ÔÇŁ features half-hour animated programs ÔÇťThe Real GhostbustersÔÇŁ and ÔÇťTales from the Cryptkeeper,ÔÇŁ as well as live-action suspense dramas ÔÇťEerie, IndianaÔÇŁ and ÔÇťDark Oracle.ÔÇŁ The ÔÇťFunhouseÔÇŁ block will be broadcast Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET and re-aired the next day, Sunday, in the same time period on the linear TV channel.
Now in more than 7 million U.S. homes, FEARnet, with this new weekend morning block, is targeting the same highly-coveted adult demographics, 18-34 year olds and others, which it has been successfully reaching with its feature film acquisitions and original series.
Two-Hour Programming Block is aimed at the Adult 18-34 Demo; Saturday Programming is Re-Broadcast Sunday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET
FEARnetÔÇÖs new ÔÇťFunhouseÔÇŁ lineup marks the first time that the emerging cable network has broadcast both animated and live-action acquired series in a combined themed block of time. In fact, the block will highlight three all-time favorite television shows that havenÔÇÖt been nationally broadcast in over a decade, and one show, ÔÇťDark Oracle,ÔÇŁ that has never been available on U.S. stations.
ÔÇťOur director of programming, Sarah Shannon, and I are constantly looking for rare gems like foreign films, independents or shorts programming that our rabid and loyal fan base will enjoy, but haven't seen, or maybe haven't seen in a while. We designed the ÔÇśFunhouseÔÇÖ block because FEARnet fans love their genre, but they also relish their nostalgia: shows that hooked them as kids still entertain them, and maybe now their own kids too. ÔÇśFunhouseÔÇÖ opens great opportunities for us to identify and re-introduce popular programming that previously didn't have a home in our schedule,ÔÇŁ said Peter Block, FEARnetÔÇÖs president and general manager.
ÔÇťWhile some cable networks are extremely successful in targeting the adult audience with animated content blocks in late night,ÔÇŁ Block said, ÔÇťWe decided to go a different route and provide our viewers with the ability to enjoy programming in a time period that harkens back to weekend mornings of their youth.

Comments Thread For: Comanche Boy Tells Devlin: Don't Underestimate Me
George Tahdooahnippah b/k/a Comanche Boy believes he knows exactly why he was tabbed to face 154 lb. contender Delvin Rodriguez tonight at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut.
The 34-year old Native American boasts a glossy record atop a thin resume and is assumed as your garden variety come-forward club fighter waiting for a TV date to finally cash in.
There is some semblance of truth to that. Tahdooahnippah does boast a glossy record, at 32-0-1 (23KO). None of the wins have come against anyone worth mentioning, a startling fact for a fighter now nine years into the pro ranks and entering his 34th prize fight. [Click Here To Read More]

I think I'm going to root for him too. Nothing against Delvin but it would be nice to see more Native Americans succeed in boxing.

Please send this article to the people who have to stand the whole day at work, I can assure you they will tell you "The perils of standing up"
Standing and walking is obviously healthy for those who always sit,just like sitting and laying down is obviously healthy for those who are constantly standing and walking.
We need to get cubicle workers stand-up-desks and we need to get cashiers chairs, for good health.
While the advice seems reasonable, I have to say that anytime I see evidence based on "meta-analysis" I stop reading. All that really means is that someone did a research report.
The modern trend including the IT desk and the toiletries do not allow any to stand for longer then necessary. Even in the planes we are told to move the legs or they will at the heights of 36,000 ft may have the impact and they know better. With the IT in it is not possible to sit all or stand the way we want to and hence we give in and do what we feel is the so called comfortable stance. I thank you Firozali A.Mulla DBA
Sir, if we talk the open truth, the readers will look at us as "pessimistic". We must be optimistic, but if a person is standing at the seashore while the hurricane is blowing towards them, optimism may lead them to the wild ocean. This world-wide 6 years old economic recession is an eye-opening critical situation which we have never experienced in life is now affecting Asia-Africa-North America-South America and finally in Australia. Everybody around the world is tightening their spending habit-less jobs etc are making the economy farther critical every day. I thank you Firozali A.Mulla DBA
This article says a lot about importance of physical activity for those who do office work, sitting before a computer. Incidentally, I feel that it is time the well-fed people in all countries, and particularly in the Western world, find out why the poor in third world countries and the developing world generally do not suffer from diabetes. Poor, unskilled workers everywhere are compelled to work hard and perhaps their routine is such that they are almost immune from the rich individuals' ailments.
I live in Mexico, perhaps the country with the biggest percentage in diabetic people. Diabetes here is really a public health problem and it is more extended among poor people. I think that diabetes is more related to eating habits than to lack of exercise.
Here's one idea I found on another website: if you do have to sit at a desk, put a wobble board underneath it. It helps motivate you to keep your legs constantly active, and it's also conveniently near you for doing some balance exercises.
Outstanding article :)
Could be some logic here, every day i spend more hours sitting, i always feel gloomy at the close. When im on my feet for longer, im always excited and close more deals...
I wondered if a simple solution would be a pedometer that alerted you if you haven't moved for 20mins or so. Does anyone know of such a device?
It probably wouldn't be hard to build. People who wear smartphones all the time could even just use an app that looks for occasional changes in the accelerometer if it has one.
It does exist. It's called the Jawbone Up, you can buy it online.
I'd love to buy into all of this, but given the admitted limits to the studied data, it seems like some self-selection bias could be in play -- those who are more naturally prone to do things that promote good health are more likely to be willing participants in a study that involves hours of standing. I strongly suspect that, given a mandate to stand at work, smokers would still smoke and junk food junkies would still scarf down potato chips at the same rate, if not faster given the health benefits they imagine to be accruing due to their new posture.
My city has lovely bike lanes between the suburbs and downtown, and highways absolutely clogged with cars. Most people prefer to be lazy, and the continuing science of how activity is beneficial isn't going to change that.
funny, just had this conversation the other night with my friend.
One of her Grandfathers died in his early 60s after having all sorts of metabolic disorders and early onset Alzheimers...he had spent his life as a Sartor
Her other Grandfather was healthy up to the age of 92...he had spent his life working as a construction labourer
It's an old problem. Centuries ago they tried to solve it in a number of ways but...
I'm glad I'm walking and standing a few minutes every couple of hours to have a smoke.
we'll outlive them all!
And you forgot the regular coughing, that strengthens the chest.
Not to mention the cleansing action of hot smoke in your lungs, killing all those terrible viruses and bacteria residing there :)
I bet the cigarette undoes most of the benefits of standing up.
Among other things, smoking considerably increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Smoking, among other things, considerably increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
A writer's attitude can be influenced by his posture and standing.
Churchill wrote standing up and he maintained a bulldog approach to foreign policy.
So did Hemmingway.
Sitters tend to be more meditative and less strident.
"Sitters tend to be more meditative and less strident."
Yes. Even babysitters. They have enough with the babies.
Churchill was also a rabid racist. Are we supposed to admire such a man?
Sounds like soup-bowl knowledge. . .
But Churchill's view post Cuban Missile Crisis was quite admirable, despite being one of the most iconic war leader of the 20th century. He thought mutual annihilation and nuclear apocalypse was going way too far.
But at his old age then, he was probably doing a lot of sitting down and painting.
And yet hunter / gatherer societies are all but gone, while billions of us sit and read the internet.
What's your point? No one is suggesting that humanity should return to hunting and gathering. On the contrary, the suggestion is that we apply some thought to how we might interact better with our new environment, rather than follow basic animal instincts of preserving energy even when it is abundant. Of course, you can always sit around and wait for evolution to catch up, but it may take some time! ;-)
@chrysan - my original post was just an observation, I wasn't attempting to make a point. But, I guess I could make additional observations such as:
Hunter / gatherers do not live as long as scientists who sit behind microscopes developing antibiotics or engineers who sit at desks designing automobile airbags.
Hunter / gatherers walk as much as is necessary to get what they need to eat and where they need to be...but really no more. None of them build health clubs to my knowledge.
Firemen and policemen who work at ostensibly active jobs, insist on retiring at age 50 because they are no longer capable of doing those jobs.
Auto assembly workers likewise insisted they were spent and needed to retire from their jobs after 30 years because the rigors of standing were too much for them.
Sedentary engineers and scientists soldier on despite their lack of workplace exercise.
Now, I would note, that I wholeheartedly approve of exercise, and I think a good amount of walking everyday is the best way to go about it, but I like to work sitting down. I don't type very well as it is, and if I had to do it on a treadmill I doubt I could ever get my point across.
Bending down and touching your toes a couple of times a day makes a world of difference. There's no need to go to ridiculous lengths and install "treadmill desks."
Furthermore, researchers may find that the lifestyle a person has while not at work has a much greater effect on that person's health than whether or not they sit or stand at work. If a person works at a treadmill desk all day only to go home to 8 beers and a rack of ribs, there may be greater forces at work here.
Dang, I sit almost all day every work day, typing reports, doing spreadsheets, and reading material off the internet.
Fortunately, I bike to work a few days per week.
But that's the rub. Sitting for prolonged periods itself is bad, in the same way that smoking after an hour's run doesn't mean that the hour's run 'fixes' the smoking. You might have better heart and lung function from running, but nicotene and tar in your lungs are doing you no favors.
Personally, I'd welcome such changes in my desk bound job. I'm in favour of treadmill meetings (should keep them short and breathless), deskercycles (now my output can be measured in watts rather than question marks) and dumb bells for pumping up my 'stakeholder management' twins.
Picking out Churchill is a mistake. I do remember reading the Churchill Law of Energy Conservation: Why stand when you can sit. Why sit when you can lay down. That was the key to his stamina.
That well-known aphorism was Churchill's response to why he preferred baths over showers. The picture clearly shows a man who prefers to stand while working, as opposed to bathing.
Churchill was also well known for working in bed until lunchtime and drinking heavily, which suggests that anecdotal evidence is not really evidence.
Don't forget good ol' Don Rumsfeld's penchant for a standing desk, famously brought to light when the Bush Administration released classified memos on its t̶o̶r̶t̶u̶r̶e̶ "enhanced interrogation" policies.
From USA Today:
"Rumsfeld also approved placing detainees in 'stress positions,' such as standing for up to 4 hours, though he apparently found this approach unimpressive. Rumsfeld, who works at a stand-up desk, scrawled on the memo, 'I stand for 8-10 hours a day. Why is standing limited to four hours? D.R.'"
Rumsfeld also aims to walk a minimum of 10K steps a day
He probably wants to avoid his pal Dick Cheney's habit of one heart attack per month.

Sales Architects® helps its clients develop processes to hire the right salespeople, effectively onboard them and align their sales activities with business objectives
Using our proprietary sales architecture® methodology, we help our clients migrate from being "people-based" to "process-based" resulting in explosive, profitable growth.
Sales Architects is a non-traditional business consulting firm. We specialize in sales, marketing, and sales management with the fundamental goal of helping our clients adapt and thrive in the ever-changing world of business. The way we do that is by rolling up our sleeves and working side-by-side with our clients to ensure goals are met. Our clients feel that we are part of their team because we are. No fluff stuff here! When clients contract with us, they expect success and so do we. Nothing less is acceptable
It's the revolving door on sales teams. Executives hire what they believe to be great salespeople, but the results never come – and the salespeople are let go. This perpetual cycle eradicates profits, makes revenue targets pipe dreams, and has sales leaders pulling out their hair in frustration.
Despite these issues, executives continue to try to "hire great salespeople." That three-word expression is exactly what Hire Right, Higher Profits is all about. Sales management strategist, Lee Salz begins the book by challenging readers with the $25,000 Revenue Test which most executives fail. Then, he hits readers between the eyes with the statement "there are no great salespeople" and offers proof of it! He also cautions those executives – who view the competition as their primary sales talent source – of its risks.
Athletes invest time in their knowledge and skills outside of competition to ensure they deliver when the game counts. Salespeople need to be doing the same.
Here are eight areas to explore with potential employers to get the information needed to make an informed decision on your next sales job.
9 reasons why every company needs sales onboarding Sales onboarding, the development program designed to get your new salespeople up to speed fast, should be high on your executive team's priority list of corporate initiatives. Here are nine reasons why.
The issue isn't giving a salesperson the nod to be the sales manager. It's that business owners and executives often perceive this move as a "promotion." The sales manager role isn't just an elevation in responsibility, it's a job change.
When a sales candidate accepts a job offer, everyone is all smiles. Those smiles can quickly turn to frowns if you are making any of these sales onboarding mistakes.
What kind of person should a business owner hire when it's time to add a full-time salesperson? Lee Salz's answer might surprise you.

After a riotous debut collection, Ant Farm, Simon Rich returns to mine more comedy from our hopelessly terrifying world. In the nostalgic opening chapter, Rich recalls his fear of the Tooth Fairy ("Is there a face fairy?") and his initial reaction to the "Got-your-nose" game ("Please just kill me. Better to die than to live the rest of my life as a monster"). He gets inside the heads of two firehouse Dalmatians who can't understand their masters' compulsion to drive off to horrible fires every day ("What the hell is wrong with these people?"). And in the final chapter, he tackles one of life's biggest questions: Does God really have a plan for us? Yes, it turns out. Now if only He could remember what it was. . . .
Simon Rich is the author of Ant Farm. He is a twenty-three-year-old graduate of Harvard University, where he was president of The Harvard Lampoon. He currently writes for Saturday Night Live and lives in New York City.

Fall hasn't even officially begun, but here in the office we are busily plugging
away on the winter issue of Jewelry Stringing. I'm excited that the winter

Natural Brass Company hosts a monthly contest, each with a different theme.
Submit your jewelry designs in their October challenge, "Radiant Raven," by
using Vintaj's Arte Metal and/or Artisan Copper. Entries will be accepted until
noon on September 28th, and full details can be found here.
And, finally, Beadwork magazine's Beaded Bead Contest is a celebration of the magazine's 15th
anniversary. During 2012, each issue of Beadwork
includes instructions for a different style of beaded bead. Contestants need to create a jewelry design incorporating each of the five beads featured
throughout the year. Deadline to enter is October 26th and details
can be found on the web site here.
Even though
Happy Mango Beads's "Trash to Treasure" contest is over, it's fun to view the
winning entries on their web site, where contestants got pretty darn creative
in turning their trash into some fun and stylish jewelry designs! Take a look here.
Whether you like to craft jewelry, accessories, or home décor with your beads, there seems to be something for everyone if you're in the mood to try your hand at a beading contest!

Vote On Names For Pluto's Little Moons; 'Nemo' Not Among Nominees
By Mark Memmott
Most Two-Way readers who answered our question weren't big fans of calling this past weekend's blizzard by the name "Nemo."
So, many may be relieved to know that Nemo is not among the 12 choices on the SETI Institute's list of nominated names for Pluto's two smallest moons.
The list:
- Acheron
- Alecto
- Cerberus
- Erebus
- Eurydice
- Hercules
- Hypnos
- Lethe
- Obol
- Orpheus
- Persephone
- Styx
Now, there is a write-in ballot. So maybe there's hope for Nemo. Or, perhaps:
- Colbert
- Endor
- Eyder
- Gonyea
- Korva
