Well letter writing time again. This time Durbin ticked me off with his comparison of Loretta Lynch's non nomination to Rosa Parks. Really!? These guys just piss me off so much. Well here's my response to our great Senator.
Mr. Durbin I have to say that I find it appalling that you had to stoop to such lows today by comparing Loretta Lynch's nomination (or lack there of) to Rosa Parks. How low will your party go? What on earth has happened to the party of John F. Kennedy? Race baiting…Continue

West Suburban Patriots is an independent group of concerned citizens. We are active in Dupage County and beyond. We spontaneously began in response to the United States government accelerating it's 100-year incremental descent into tyranny and losing sight of the fact that it serves at the will of "we the people". The principles of this movement are Fiscal Responsibility (reduce spending & lower taxes), Constitutionally Limited Government, and Free Markets.
West Suburban Patriot's mission is to attract, educate, organize, and mobilize our fellow citizens to secure public policy consistent with our three core values of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets.
West Suburban Patriots vision is to restore the United States of America to the constitutional republic as conceived and created by our Founding Fathers in the US Constitution.
Fiscal Responsibility by government honors and respects the freedom of the individual to spend the money that is the fruit of their own labor. Runaway deficit spending as we now see in Washington D.C. compels us to take action as the increasing national debt is a grave threat to our national sovereignty and the personal and economic liberty of future generations. Illinois' unfunded liabilities are equally reckless.

Constitutionally Limited Government: We regard the Constitution of the United States to be the supreme law of the land. We believe that it is possible to know the original intent of the government our founders set forth, and stand in support of that intent. Like the founders, we support states' rights for those powers not expressly stated in the Constitution. As the government is of the people, by the people and for the people, we support the personal liberty of the individual, within the rule of law.

Free Markets: A free market is the economic consequence of personal liberty. The founders believed that personal and economic freedom were indivisible. Our current government's interference distorts the free market and inhibits the pursuit of individual and economic liberty. Therefore, we support a return to the free market principles on which this nation was founded and oppose government intervention into the operations of private business.

Net Curtains and Closed Doors: Intimacy, Family, and Public Life in Dublin
It has been argued that the family is a clearly bounded center of love and emotion in the lives of people. It is a center which is separate from more "public" arenas. The Irish family, however, has until recently had neither clear boundaries nor overt emotional nurturance, largely due to English Colonialism and the influences of the Catholic Church upon Irish culture. This book examines the urban Irish family and argues that the contrasts between family and public lives are not as great as is normally assumed.

We all agree health care costs are out of control. Many also agree, so is health care itself. But health—that's another story. To greater and lesser degrees, we do have control over our own health. This brings us to what we are calling: Diabesity. And this is only one example of a mostly preventable chronic illness.
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease which, through its complications, has a serious impact on the quality of life of individuals and their families through premature illness and death. Diabetes is closely related to obesity and overweight which now affects more than 65 percent of our population, meaning it has a major effect on both individual and national productivity. It is also largely preventable.
Population Health Management points out that twenty-four million Americans have diabetes or pre-diabetes, at a cost to our nation of an estimated $218 billion. About 25 percent of Americans with diabetes aren't even aware they have the disease. In fact, undiagnosed diabetes now costs us $18 billion each year. As for pre-diabetes (precursor to type 2 diabetes), the numbers are also staggering: Pre-diabetes affects an estimated 57 million Americans and costs our nation more than $25 billion a year in increased medical costs.
So, here's the real rub. We're not picking on people with diabetes—we're talking about actions we can all take to control health care costs and our own health—and avoiding type 2 diabetes is a great place to start. Type 2 diabetes can be largely prevented by losing weight through improved nutritional choices, and increased physical activity. As for prevention spending—A study by the National Changing Diabetes® Program found the federal government spent nearly $80 billion more on those with diabetes than those without the disease, and only $4 billion of that was spent on prevention and health promotion.
This is a good example of when maintaining the status quo is not a good thing. It's also a good example of what a really big change we can make—all by ourselves—no government, no policy intervention, no lobbyists—just each one of us. Are you with us?

Like so many before me - help!
I am hoping to attack the front yard, it needs lots of TLC and a plan. I appreciate any and all thoughts / suggestions / criticisms / plant suggestions or commiserations
What I know I want:
1) to change the path - I am thinking a mix of crushed granite and pavers. I love pavers with greenery between, but not sure that fits in with the rest of the goals...
2) Low water
3) Low maintenance yard. I enjoy gardening, but this with the back and the veggies, I get overwhelmed.
The bushes to the right (podocarpus) are *supposed* to create a pocket of privacy for the front bedroom with french doors that is to the right of the entrance.
Thank you in advance!
Is the "Plan" primarily showing proposed changes? It is not clear what some of the things are intended to be. Is it your perception, elderwen, that the plantings in front of the entrance help to enhance the overall view of the property? If the front bedroom needs privacy from the street, why not use some sort of window treatment rather than skew all landscaping to perform a job that it cannot do as well as something else (given the overall parameters and property limitations)?
The plan view is of the current layout - generally.
Most of the plantings are left overs from before, and no, not particularly attractive. I like the Camelias (not visible on the right), but they are very badly placed, and evidently hard to transplant?
The idea of enclosing part of the front yard into a pocket came for several reason - the two current ones are
1) I liked the idea of being able to open the french doors from the bedroom into a private garden.
2) the front get the morning sun, so it's the best place to take morning coffee and more privacy is nice for that.
The reasons you give for enclosing part of the front yard for privacy are justification enough. But it will be hard to help you with your overall goals if we can't see the french doors of which you speak, and the entrance door and the relationship between the two. Some architectural screening (privacy fence/screen) adorned with quaint details, and possibly vines, seems like it might be better than a fat, sprawling bush for producing the fine line between public and private in such a small yard. We need to see the right half of the house so if you could add a picture or two, it would help. What is the snakey-stemmed, multi-trunked tree at the left corner of the yard? What are the two shrubs in front of the blue section of the house? What is the blooming tree overhead? And the location is?

I recently upgraded my router at home. I had a very old Linksys model that was starting to lose its DHCP connection from my Cable Modem. I figured with some of the new changes to with the most recent patch affecting some players latency it might be a good idea to upgrade. I picked up a Linksys e2000.
At first I forgot to open up the ports that wow needs, 6112-6114, 3724, 1119, and 4000. I went ahead and added those to the port forwarding section for my wifes computer. Then I went to add those same ports for my PC and this new Linksys will not allow me to open up the same ports to more than one internal IP address at a time. I was trying to find a way to open up these ports on the firewall across the board, but I having trouble finding a way to do so.
I setup Port triggering for those specific ports, but the "help" section on the routers config page for triggering states that the router will remember the port for the first IP that requests those ports, which makes me think that once the second PC running wow tries those ports they will not be allowed. Does anyone else have experience running more than one WOW client behind a Linksys Firewall?
I just found a recommendation online that claims port triggering will indeed for for any device on the network trying to use certain ports. So I setup all my WOW ports in the port trigger table. I will update this thread later to see if the Latency issues are resolved.

In order to use port forwarding proper for one router and say 2+ PCs you may have to issue static IP for the PC via "internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" where you are able to give your PC a certain IP and then issue your router the same IP when you open the ports so when your game connects there is no blocking going on.
Also double check your ports for router and windows Firewall, I asked four blues last year about the ports and got different port numbers from each, i don't think they know the real ports or have a security issue they are unable to give the proper ports, so I combined all four responces and got this below LOL
1119-1120, 6881-6999, 6112-6114, 80, 3724, 4000
Ummm. No. That would forward to IP address 192.168.1.255 only. You're thinking of a netmask, which normally does not work for port forwarding on home routers.

A new router is always a good purchase in many cases as they upgrade hardware from time to time to meet modern internet performance requirements. So you did good there.
Unfortunately, a limitation of "NAT" (which is the technology used that allows your home routers to work) is that you can only "port forward" to one internal computer unless you had multiple outside addresses.
Given that most ISPs provide you with one external IP address per home user connection, you're kind of in a bind with the forwarding.
The good news is, WoW doesn't require those ports to be forwarded to play, update, or download properly. You will get better performance with the WoW downloader, but they have no effect on actual gameplay.
If you have an actual problem, we can review other information to see where the problem may be.

set patchlist enUS.patch.battle.net:1119/patch
No. 1119 is but one of the ports that needs to be opened. Currently only 1119 and 3724 need to be opened/forwarded. However, this may change again down the road to the full complement of ports that can be found on the Tech Support pages.

I've never had to forward any ports on my router. The only issue I've had is during downloads I get the message that a firewall is blocking the download. Really all it is doing is preventing others from downloading from me. It should have no bearing on your game play.
192.168.1.255 is not routeable well the .255 isn't routeable its and broadcast (ip?) anyways the 192.168.1. was just a guess at his private lan's ip. seeing that .255 is an broadcast then in theory all ip's should receive that data.
The good news is, WoW doesn't require those ports to be forwarded to play, update, or download properly. You will get better performance with the WoW downloader, but they have no effect on actual gameplay.
I am pretty sure something is needed, Both our wow clients were showing near 2k latency on the home connection, as soon as I opened the ports to my PC and re-logged into wow my home latency dropped to near zero, my wife restarted her client as well and nothing changed. So doing a port forward to my pc changed things dramatically. I know it is not an add-on issue nor an ISP issue otherwise both Clients would have the same issues regardless of what I did to my forwarding.
I did read somewhere that I could try to get my ISP to give me 2 public IP Leases, and then I could do one to one forwarding for each lease, but that seems like a major hassle. perhaps there is something else I could change on my router to fix this, i was hoping there was a way to just unblock certain ports on the firewall for the entire network in a similar way exceptions can be made to the windows firewall, but I do not see anything of the kind on my linksys.. I had not had any issues like this over the last 3 years I have been using this Cable connection with my old router.
Also, I am running Both PC's on Windows XP 32bit, both are wired Ethernet to the router, both have plenty of available system resources, etc, etc.
Thanks again for all the helpful advice.
Ummmm. No. Just because it has 255 on the end doesn't make it what you think it is. Again, you're thinking of a mask, which doesn't work in this situation. And 192.168.1.255 is not a mask. It's an internal IP address. Nothing more. Nothing less.

While .255 is a broadcast address in my environment, that is not how broadcast addresses work.
The latency issue seems to be all over the place. Is going up and down on my wifes computer with no rhyme or reason. One mine it is green with low numbers and the next it is red and she cannot cast anything.
The lag on my pc seems to be less, i am wondering if the port triggering is only working for my PC since it was the first to request the port access from the router....
Any other ideas?
Having the same issue, only way i have been able to play with out the lag spikes is to just tether my iphone. it seems like if I'm casting non stop the lag wont come but as soon as i stop ans just chill for 30 seconds its lag city. Linksys WRP400 Firmware Version: 2.00.26

Only one device should make outbound connections on a specific port. If two or more devices attempt to make outbound connections on the same port at a given time, there will be a conflict, and port triggering will not work correctly.
80 Human Paladin
C'mon, guys!
Opening your destination ports from the Internet to private IPs on your local LAN isn't necessary to play WoW and is not a great idea. Using port triggering is better if you're looking to allow P2P connections during patch file transfers, but this doesn't affect gameplay.
Yes, your clients can make connections to the same IP, on the same port, without issue. The router's NAT table will match your internal source IP, source port, destination IP, destination port to the return traffic and deliver it appropriately back to your requesting client. When I ran an Internet Cafe, I had 15 simultaneous clients all playing WoW at the same time, and I never had to forward any ports to 'reduce lag'. Port forwarding and lag during gameplay are unrelated.
If you're looking at opening ports or configuring port triggering, look at WHY you're doing this. If it's for a faster P2P connection, then you're doing the right thing. If that's the case, enable automatic downloads on only one client, store them and run them from your other clients once they have completed. There's no reason for every client in your LAN to download patches. If you're doing it because you think it will speed up gameplay or reduce lag, then you're not understanding what 'opening ports' does.
Your home routers do NOT block outbound traffic out of the box. There's no configuration required in order to play WoW. Opening ports allows INBOUND traffic, initiated by someone outside of your firewall, which only affects P2P traffic as far as WoW is concerned.

Plextor M3 / M3S 256GB Solid State Drive ReviewThe first drive to ship with new 24nm Toshiba Toggle Mode flash has arrived. Chris tests the new Plextor M3 256GB SSD today.
There is no denying that 2011 was a year dominated by SandForce at nearly all levels. Companies like OCZ Technology and Corsair produced a number of drives that spanned a vast range of price points. Drive capacity and performance were used to fill in price gaps leaving little room for Marvell based products to compete. In 2011 more companies adapted Marvell controllers to run in SSDs, a large leap from 2010 when only Micron / Crucial implemented Marvell's first generation SATA III controller.
The Marvell based drives from 2011 were very good products, they just had a very big umbrella over their head. Pricing always plays a large role in the retail purchasing decision, especially in a slow moving economy. The Marvell controlled products are at a disadvantage when it comes to price out of the gate. The architecture calls for a DRAM cache buffer, an added expense, when compared to the SandForce design that runs an internal buffer in the controller. When you add the additional cost with the lower performance compared to many of the SF-2281 controlled drives, there just wasn't enough incentive for consumers to come home with a solid state drive using a Marvell controller.
The 2012 SSD season is now in full swing and unlike last year, SandForce doesn't have a new controller ready to follow their successes of the last two years. Furthermore, the Team SandForce partners are tip toeing into 2012, we've yet to see an established Team SandForce member show a drive with the latest generation flash coming from Samsung and Toshiba. SandForce is leaving a door open and in this competitive market others are rushing to get their foot in the door.
Last month we explored the Samsung 830 Series SSD, the first on the market to use Samsung's new 20nm Toggle Mode flash. Samsung isn't the only kid on the block with a new toy in early 2012. Toshiba is now churning out 24nm Toggle Mode flash as well, a significant size reduction to the 32nm Toggle Mode flash we saw on several drives from last year. The new 24nm flash will eventually help drive SSD costs down in the retail channel. For Plextor that means the new M3 Series SSD can now compete in price with established SandForce products on the market.
The Plextor M3 is a generational upgrade from the M2 Series we previously reviewed last year. The drive uses new 24nm Toshiba Toggle Mode flash and while Plextor was waiting for Toshiba to deliver lower cost NAND, Plextor worked to optimize both their firmware and other key hardware areas.
Today we're looking at the all new Plextor M3, the first retail SSD to deliver 24nm flash, meets current SandForce price points and offers SandForce levels of performance. There is a new one for you, let's take a deeper look and see if the new Plextor M3 Series can dethrone our current all around best price / performance leaders.

The Space
Just steps from 16th Street and Valencia, your stay in SF's Mission District means convenient access to some of the best chef-owned, specialty restaurants in SF.
We're In the center of everything this vibrant neighborhood has to offer - dozens of great restaurants, boutiques, galleries, specialty shops, abundant entertainment, famous murals, Dolores Park, a variety of clubs, historic sites (Mission Dolores, the original Levi jeans factory, etc).

San Francisco is a wonderful city and we love to share what we know; we have annual passes to museums (The deYoung and California Legion of Honor - though no promises since ticket availability depends on our schedules to obtain them).
We are a married couple with a sweet, well-behaved dog (never barks), able to host in Spanish, and love having guests. Come stay with us. Amenities we offer:
Quiet home is a reprieve from the urban hustle.
1 block to BART (subway) and several MUNI lines (buses)

Mark and Rafael are lovely hosts - I was made to feel incredibly welcome. They were so thoughtful with lots of food and drink available. I was also given plenty of space to do my own thing which is perfect for me.
The location is great and the room is incredibly comfortable - I would definitely stay here again.
Rafael and Mark were incredibly welcoming and the room was beautiful. I very much enjoyed the experience and hope to stay here again if possible when I next return to San Francisco.
The private room was just what I was looking for! It was peaceful, clean, comfortable and filled with so much light! Mark and Rafael are friendly, communicative and respectful host. There are a lot of great restaurants nearby and it's really close to the BART. I definitely would stay here again if I am in the Mission District.
Mark and Rafael have such a lovely apartment. Super well located, immaculately kept, and the quality of the room itself is maybe the best I've stayed in in many airbnb-hosted trips to the US. Not only is there a really comfortable bed, there is a great little desk to do some work on and two sweet chairs - all of which gives the room a bit of a boutique hotel feel! All that is topped off by Mark and Rafael being such welcoming people and I enjoyed connecting with them. Very highly recommended and would definitely stay with them again should I be back soon.
Very friendly and welcoming to their home in the heart of SF's Mission District, Mark and Rafael made my stay completely wonderful. Comfortable room and clean shared bathroom was perfect for my needs while staying in SF.
Awesome experience! Mark and Rafael are really nice, the room and the location are perfect! Highly recommend!!
Mark and Rafael have been the most gracious hosts! This was my first AirBnB experience and I could not have asked for anything more. The facility is exactly as as described, very clean and convenient. Location is awesome, Bart station is only 2 min walk away. Good eateries nearby..
Easy going couple with a cute Jack Russell Terrier named Leonardo. Married in 2008, Rafael works in medical billing services, originally from Michoacan, Mex. and an excellent chef (previously a partner in a restaurant).
Mark is owner of an energy efficiency lighting co, an SF native who's also lived in Oregon and So Cal and traveled often.
Values-oriented, sustainability-minded, we are committed to community and environment. We respect and appreciate people and creatures, wonder at life's awes, and have lot's of laughs. We love to meet people, and to share our city and home.

If you are an e-store owner, you might be finding it difficult to publish an audience-attractive content. No wonder product definitions/descriptions are a must but it isn't essential if that sort of content will attract any loyal visitor. With Google becoming more sophisticated and social media becoming a dominant source of referrals, it is essential for the retailers of e-stores to gear up with content publishing, if they want to retain existing buyers as well as drive in new customers.
Magento can be utilized as blogging platform with some available add-ons but if one integrates a platform specifically for content publication then there are several advantages of it. Turning WordPress into an ecommerce store is surely possible but with Magento the retailer gets flexibility and functionality which is quite tough to be acquired on a platform designed for content management. The right way is to integrate the WordPress blog in your Magento store instead of installing WordPress separately, as the data you want requires synchronization. But both ways will be explained here.

Building Bone: The Novel Role of Tocotrienols
Posted on 25 April 2014 by Lee in News
An Interview With Professor Dr. Ima-Nirwana Soelaiman, MBBS, PhD, Deputy Dean (Research and Innovation) Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Biography: The focus of Dr. Ima-Nirwana's research is the impact of natural products on bone metabolism and osteoporosis, with special emphasis on tocotrienols. Dr. Ima-Nirwana has published 122 articles in scientific journals. Together with her team she has presented her work at over a hundred local and international conferences. The results from her animal studies have consistently shown that tocotrienols can prevent and reverse osteoporosis due to stressors, including menopause, estrogen and androgen deficiency, steroid excess, nicotine exposure and oxidative stress and inflammation. She is currently planning clinical trials on tocotrienols and osteoporosis in the USA and in Malaysia. She is a member of the Malaysian Osteoporosis Society and the Malaysia Endocrine and Metabolic Society. She holds a patent within Malaysia for the use of tocotrienol for bone health in humans.

The Stock Shoot Diaries: Ghent and Bruges
This post follows on from my earlier article on my stock shoot in London. My next destination was Belgium and, in particular, Ghent and Bruges. Although well covered by stock photography, I still felt that it would be possible to get some marketable images from these locations, especially from Ghent, my first destination. Read on to know how my experience was, shooting stock photographs in these two lovely cities.
The Stock Shoot Diaries: London
London in August, what could possibly go wrong? The weather, of course. I had planned a two week break to visit family and to shoot stock in my birth city, something I had never really done before. Generally, London in late August the weather is fairly benign and reliable, late August 2014 proved to be not quite so co-operative.

Honda GCV160 Automatic Choke Issue
I have a Type 4 GCV160 with the automatic choke return. The automatic choke return has worked great until recently. When you start the mower, the choke is supposed to return to the closed position. The past few times I have used it, it has not and I had to manually move it to the closed position. I have been getting some black smoke after starting the mower since this has been happening and so far I think it may be because of the excessive fuel its getting until I can get the choke turned off. Anyway, mower runs fine but I would like some opinions to why my automatic choke return just stopped returning. Thanks for any help.
Yes the black smoke indicates an over-rich mixture. You need to get it fixed - sounds like a spring broke or slipped off - before the rich mixture causes damage in the cylinder by washing out the oil film. There may be a free fix for this at the Honda dealer IIRC.
thanks, that's what I was thinking about the black smoke. I called the local shop and they said they have seen this before and have not heard or seen any issues where a problem ever occured afterwards. I can't see where any springs attach to the choke lever so it must be something internal.

The Drowning Treeby Carol Goodman
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Artfully imagined, intricately detailed, eerily poignant: these are the outstanding features of Carol Goodman?s literary thrillers. She is part novelist, part craftsman — and The Drowning Tree is her newest masterpiece.
Juno McKay intended to avoid the nearby campus of her alma mater during her fifteenth reunion weekend, but she just can?t turn down the chance to see her longtime friend, Christine Webb, speak at the Penrose College library. Though Juno cringes at the inevitable talk of the pregnancy that kept her from graduating, and of her husband, Neil Buchwald, who ended up in a mental hospital only two years after their wedding, Juno endures the gossip for her friend?s sake. Christine?s lecture sends shockwaves through the rapt crowd when she reveals little-known details about the lives of two sisters, Eugenie and Clare — members of the powerful and influential family whose name the college bears. Christine?s revelation throws shadows of betrayal, lust, and insanity onto the family?s distinguished facade.
But after the lecture, Christine seems distant, uneasy, and sad. The next day, she disappears. Juno immediately suspects a connection to her friend?s shocking speech. Although painfully reminded of her own experience with Neil?s mental illness, Juno nevertheless peels away the layers of secrets and madness that surround the Penrose dynasty. She fears that Christine discovered something damning about them, perhaps even something worth killing for. And Juno is determined to find it — for herself, for her friend, and for her long-lost husband.
"Goodman (The Lake of Dead Languages) delivers another captivating literary mystery of secrets old and new. After 15 years, Juno McKay returns to Penrose College, her alma mater, to hear her friend Christine give a lecture on a beautiful stained-glass window designed by the college's founder and featuring, it was assumed, his wife, Eugenie Penrose. But Christine's research has led her to other conclusions, and her lecture raises many carefully groomed eyebrows. Juno wonders if her always controversial friend has gone too far, and later, she's puzzled by Christine's odd questions and behavior, particularly regarding Juno's ex-husband, Neil, confined to a mental institution called Briarwood these last 14 years. Christine departs, leaving many unanswered questions, and days later, Juno discovers her body in the Hudson River near the college. With elegant precision, Goodman envelops readers in Juno's life, as well as in the lives of her daughter, Bea, and Eugenie and her institutionalized, lovelorn sister, Clare. As Juno finds herself plunged into the middle of a murder investigation, she begins to retrace the path of Christine's research, uncovering tangled connections among the prestigious college, the Briarwood mental facility and her own family history. This is an artful thriller, with rich, vivid descriptions of works of art, Hudson River Valley scenery and the knotty inner terrain of its characters' hearts. Agent, Loretta Barrett. (July)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Filled with descriptions of beautiful Hudson River scenery and references to mythology and art, this gripping novel will hold the reader's attention until the very last page." Library Journal
"Goodman's early promise comes to full flower in this work....A novel full of surprises." The Denver Post
"Carol Goodman strikes each chord in The Drowning Tree with perfect pitch....
"Cerebral mystery from classy bestseller Goodman....A touch overwrought, a touch didactic, but haunting nonetheless." Kirkus Reviews
"Goodman's approach is risky: The parallel Victorian and contemporary stories verge on melodrama....Yet the novel succeeds as something more than an entertaining soap opera or a clever jigsaw puzzle." Boston Globe

Not entirely. One of the features of Sun's cancelled Rock CPU was something they called Thread Scout. The idea was to run one core ahead of another, skipping most computation, to pre-fault memory addresses. This ensured that data was in cache when it was needed. There was also an idea to use multiple cores to extend the superscalar concept, so when you encountered a branch one core took each potential path and you discarded the wrong one. A lot of GPUs used to do this, but no general purpose CPUs (that I'm aware of, although ARM and Itanium do something similar with their predicated instructions).
You're right that you won't get the full benefit of writing proper concurrent code, but you will get some.
That means the animated ads can now suck up all of my CPU, rather than just one core's worth. I can't wait!
Why should an application decide the best way to split a load over multiple cpu cores? How does it know what else is going on in the OS to balance this load? Shouldn't the OS handle this behind the scenes?

As the Senate prepares to consider the bipartisan Cybersecurity Act of 2012 a number of amendments are being tacked on, including one addressing federal data center consolidation.
The cybersecurity legislation – the latest version a compromise bill that was announced July 24 – now has more than 70 amendments, according to Senate floor remarks from Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), who introduced the bill. He urged senators to refrain from adding amendments not pertinent to cybersecurity issues.
One amendment, filed by Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) and Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), targets enforcement of the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative, which was launched last year by the Office for Personnel Management. The plan was designed to shutter at least 1,100 of the government's roughly 3,000 data centers and was pegged at more than $2 billion in savings.
The amendment would put further weight behind the initiative, which some agencies have been slow to implement, according to a July 31 release from Bennet's office.
"There are commonsense steps we can take right now to cut the deficit, reduce waste and make the most efficient use of taxpayer dollars," Bennet said in the release. "The Administration has already identified this as a cost saving measure that will help reduce spending on IT needs, energy consumption, and real estate. This amendment will require the federal agencies to get the job done."
The amendment would mandate that agencies submit to OMB a complete inventory and consolidation plan for their data centers, as well as provide annual updates on progress over the next five years, among other provisions aimed at accountability.
According to Bennet's office, the amendment would "conserve energy, save taxpayer dollars and reduce government waste."
The Senate is slated to take up the bill this week, although it's not clear when exactly that will happen, as Senate Democrats and Republicans are working toward an agreement on the amendments that will make it into the legislation.
In other news related to the pending cybersecurity bill, TechAmerica in a July 30 letter to Senate leaders, announced support for the bill and laid out recommended priorities for the Senate to consider.
Shawn Osborne, TechAmerica's president and CEO, endorsed parts of the bill addressing FISMA reform; research and development; education, workforce and awareness improvement; and international cooperation.
He outlined refinements to the bill that would expand on the bill's measures addressing public-private partnership in securing critical infrastructure, information-sharing and network monitoring.

Is anyone else worried about a single point of failure related to all of this proposed data center consolidation?
Our experience so far has been an anticipated slight increase in overall annual (recurring) costs. There is also the substantial one time cost as well. Unfortunately our DCC provider hasn't provided their costs yet so we really have no idea. We assume that since our costs are very efficient they will be equal to us (commercial pricing indicates costs will increase but... the government can do it for less :)The reason the cost goes up in the long term is because our application developers now have to coordinate with non-local resources. There is no savings to existing on-site systems because we can't decommission any of them (sure a VM here and possibly a blade or 2 there). The infrastructure itself has to remain to sustain the capabilities the DCC cannot take. A substantial part of our infrastructure is keep-the-lights on things (vulnerability scanning, patch management, domain controllers, monitoring, authentication verification, host based security) and the rest can't move because of the required proximity to engineers and their military representative systems. DCCs only save money if 1) the infrastructure hasn't been updated to virtualized/SAN/blade systems and you are now avoiding the cost of doing so (or you foolishly just want to replace pizza boxes with more pizza boxes) or 2) they take everything a site has (not practical in many cases). The cost savings of these measures are grossly overestimated. Just like many previous initiatives there are reasons to do it (centralized management, consistent policy, etc.). Cost isn't one of them.
Data center lobbyists trying to get money mandated by law re-directed to them.
My problem is that decision are being made on these systems without consideration on mission impact. Many systems cannot or should not be consolidated and some redundancy is necessary for COOP. So far it hasn't been much more than an inconvenience for us, although an expensive one since plans have had to be revised. I'm just concerned that at some point we will be crippled by this, putting our troops in danger.
Data center consolidation is more hype than substance, since most of them are in government-owned space anyway. Still have to provide utilities and security even if the space is sitting empty. 'Rent' paid from one federal agency to another doesn't really exist- it is just an accounting fiction. And if the space is empty, the landlord agency will just raise the 'rent' on the remaining footprint.

e. veyrat hermanos
Hi, everyone. This year, E.Veyrat Hermanos is more or less on trial for it's life in my garden. It has never bloomed properly for me;it covers itself in buds, which never manage to open,though it doesn't look like classic balling to me. I ask myself if maybe it's thrips? or overly poor soil? or lack of water? This year, in spite of the drought, I doused it with 80 liters of water. It can't complain about it's buds getting wet-it hasn't really rained for two months here!The plant itself is very vigorous and healthy. Does anyone have experience with this rose,and know what to do to help it's buds to actually open? Thanks,bart
Yup, that's our girl. Brown balls of mush in the spring, but usually quite a luscious show for the second flush after all the rains are history. Here it only rains in the winter, so once it stops it stops for good this rose gets a chance, and when she does she is still a heartstopper. Still, she likes it HOT, and the climate here (50 miles north of SF and 30 miles from the Pacific) is a bit on the moderate side for her. I think she'd like it better hotter.
I had E. Veyrat Hermanos and it never balled and bloomed very well. I garden on decomposed granite which has been enriched and it may be that it likes a lighter soil AND heat. At any rate, and please don't shoot me, it wasn't a great favorite of mine and was much too large for its spot, so I no longer have it. It faced more or less east and only had sun for half a day and that didn't seem to bother it. There are too many other beautiful climbers to hang onto one that doesn't make you happy.
Bart, mine started out having an excellent spring which was early and quite warm. It was covered in buds, and the buds started opening into magnificent flowers. Then we had a rain, and that was the end of that. All those buds just froze in time. We got hit with thrips at about the same time. This rose is really too big for my garden and I don't think chopping it to keep it smaller is the way to go, so I'm at the same point as you. This weekend may be when I cut it down. I do believe that it needs HEAT and doesn't mind humidity which we have plenty of here in the summer. Perhaps the combination of wet and cool is bad for it. It balled last spring, too. The spring before it got thrips. I don't remember how it did last summer. I just know I had never seen blooms on it like I did this spring. Mine is 2-1/2 years old. How old is yours? Could maturity have anything to do with it? But probably that doesn't matter. It's a thrips magnet.
Here is a link that might be useful: If only sweat were irrigation...
I have no experience with this rose, but I had a similar problem with one of my "The Fairy" rose. I had purchased two and liked them so much that I bought a third. The third one which was purchased from a different vendor would develop flower buds which would never open. I don't think I ever saw a single flower from this rose. Someone told me there is a bad clone of this rose. I don't know if it's some kind of virus or mutation or what. I shovel pruned it.
The old blooms look like dirty toilet paper. I planted this GIANT of a rose on a fence line to cover the neighbors ugly shed. In three years it achieved the size of the shed 10X15. The blooms are pretty only in bud and early bloom. After that.....YUK!
Bart if you have had the rose for several (4-5) unsuccessful seasons, it may never be a good rose in your climate. If you have given it a reasonable amount of time for success and it has not come through for you, don't feel bad about shoveling it and trying something new.
Not all roses work in every climate, even grand OGRs.
