Re: Problems at selecting a timestamp from DB22012-12-20T10:16:32Z in response to SystemAdminI solved it!
The answer is to cast the timestamp as CHARACTER (cast as TIMESTAMP doesn't work), like that:
SET ts = CAST(exampleTimestamp AS CHARACTER FORMAT 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS');
Cast as CHARACTER:
ts = 2012-12-17 17:02:09.133104;
Cast as TIMESTAMP:
ts = 2012-12-17 17:02:09.133;
Maybe, someone need this solution :)

The ice maker wasn't working. I diagnosed the motor as being overworked and burnt out. It stopped working a few months ago and I never got around to changing it. But my father who came to visit decided to take it apart. In doing so, he misplaced one of the three screws. Otherwise the ice maker went in very quickly. I spent the rest of the time looking for the screw and eventually gave up and searched through Lowe's for a match. Needless to say I found the original screw when I was putting all my tool box away.

Whose plans has the apparently ordinary young woman interfered with? The machinations of the mukhabarat, Syria's dreaded police? The schemes of cutthroat terrorists? Or has she simply gone into hiding?
Masquerading as Amanda Pym's worried aunt, Mrs. Pollifax begins her determined search, slipping through Damascus' crooked streets and colorful, crowded souks, and trekking deep into the desert, hoping that rumor and whispers (which is all she has to go on) will lead her to the truth.
(P)2007 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
Eclectic, avid listener, favorite book is the one currently in ear.
The Mrs. Pollifax series has been brain "cotton candy" for me and my grandmother to enjoy together. Over the years, I gradually acquired the whole series for grandma... except this book... I was waiting for Barbara Rosenblat to record it. I finally gave up... apparently it isn't going to happen. Although Sharon Williams is a fine narrator, every time she spoke for Mrs. Pollifax it jarred me, because it just wasn't the right voice. This book, the last of the series, is very short, borrows heavily from plot lines in prior books (kept thinking I had read it before) and just plain old isn't as good as her previous books. If you want to check out this series, start with "The Unexpected Mrs Pollifax" #1 and read more or less in order... stop before reading this one... unless you really, really love them.
"Different Narrator. Good story, but last in serie"
Sharon Williams is good, but she doesn't portray the age of Mrs. Pollifax effectively. It was a bit jarring to go from the elderly woman Barbara Rosenblatt played to such a younger characterization. The story itself is excellent. It could only have been better if Mrs. Pollifax had made a decision in the story that it was going to be her last mission instead of leaving it open.
A 50-something who loves sci-fi, cozy mysteries, thrillers, an occasional romance, and any genre if it is a good story. And especially if it makes me laugh! No vampires or zombies though - these are NOT sci-fi!
"The last one"
Sadly, this is the last of Mrs. Polliax's adventures. Once again this senior citizen outwits the bad guys when no one else can. She has to find a kidnapped American and get her out of Syria. With her usual charm and unexpected karate skills, she accomplishes her mission in her own way. The narrator does a good job, but I prefer Barbara Rosenblat's narration.
"Sharon Williams is no Barbara Rosenblat"
No one will enjoy this. I love Mrs Pollifax, but Sharon Williams destroyed her personality through poor narration.
"Not the performance we are used to hearing."
Barbara creates an energy field around her that extends to everyone she meets and electrifies each book she records. She is superb with accents, unfailingly accurate and consistent. Her repertoire of dialects enlivens characters from cockney to Castillian, Broadway to Budapest. She owns numerous mystery series, with characterizations including Elizabeth Peters's Amelia Peabody, Dorothy Gilman's Mrs. Pollifax and, recently, Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon. All would simply not be right with another reader. Her astute sense of timing and sensitivity to the characters are intrinsic to her work. This is a quote from "Are You Listening".
I don't understand why after having Ms. Rosenblat narrate the first thirteen books in the series you would select someone with totally different skills and voice perform the final book in the series. This spoils my enjoyment and although I listen to the rest of the series again and again I skip this book when I do. Although I have bought all the books, I am unable to enjoy listening to the complete series. If you would please have Ms. Rosenblat perform this book I would purchase her version so I could actually enjoy it. It is sad enough that Dorothy Gillman has past on and will no longer entertain us with the wit and charm we can enjoy of her Mrs. Pollifax series without you ruining the last book in it's audio version for her fans. PLEASE FIX THIS ERROR. Thank you.
"Great series"
Absolutely loved this whole series. Narration was great except for the last book in the series. Loved the locations and the detailed description about the people, customs, and traditions. Mrs. Pollifax character was a delight and loved her. Listened to the series twice through I enjoyed it so much. The narrator was so good, I can't imagine that reading the books would have been nearly as enjoyable.
"mrs. pollifax is a favorite series"
I have enjoyed the Mrs. Pollifax series for years, so when I saw they have come out with the download to CD version I have been updating from Cassettes.
"Waste of time..."
I completely agree with Holly from New Mexico. This book is poorly written, predictable and dull. I purchased it after looking at the reviews. Can't follow that logic anymore.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Teresa, I made your wild rice. Chase, I made your beans...
Dinner party last night was a lot of fun and I got to try new dishes.
Here is how I did it: The day before I cooked the most delicious wild rice, thanks to Teresa and her wonderful and easy recipe.
I made Chase baked beans with the chipotle ketchup that I made, it was a hit!, thank you for the recipe, I only added some sauteed onions and garlic before baking them and because I had a vegetarian I didn't put bacon, instead I sauteed cut chorizo on the side.
Made carrot cake and it was frosted the day of the party.
I made 2 roasts, one was a chuck and the other a picnic roast. Both were cooked in different seasonings but both had beer, they were cooked for about 4 1/2 hours. The one that was most popular was the pork.
Appetizer is always good when we have brie in puff pastry
The side dishes were very good, I made a fresh tomato salad plain with herbs, a whole chinese cabbage sauteed with a little bit of butter, to the rice I added sauteed mushrooms, to the baked beans it was optional the chorizo. I cooked baby potatoes together with the pork at the last hour of cooking.
This is one of the guests plate.
Ann - Thank you, the guests left full and that was my price. I like when everyone eats and have a good time.
Chase - You had a bright idea with the homemade ketchup, they were perfect pairing for the meats. I will make them again.
Dixiedog - This morning we had some frost in the lawn, but when I went to check the tomatoes, it was warmer and sunny and they are still doing fine.
I served the food buffet style and everyone served themselves as much as they wanted. Love to have guests and cook for them, if you were living closer, you would also be invited.
From the appetizer dish that I don't know how I posted upside down,lol. I was left with puff pastry and for lunch I made more tomatoes.
Thank you Annie - Every day I learn something new to try. I got the idea about the ketchup from you and Chase gave me the idea on the beans, we all like them.
I wanted to make the filo tart that somebody posted but I had already the puff pastry leftover, anyway it came out good, next time I will make the filo.
Silvia, what an amazing delicious dinner! everything, every dish works so well together! You are the matchmaker of the food world.
Wild rice is very special, "God's Gift", "Sacred gift". I enjoy reading and learning about the Native American cultural significance of Ricng. Look into youtube, you will find it very interesting.
Thank you Dcarch - When I cook and after the guest eat and they like the meal, I feel a satisfaction that everything that I did went well and when they go for seconds and praise the food that is a very good sign,lol.
And today, you just made smarter.:) I did go and see the youtube videos, so interesting! Especially for me that I spent as a child a good time with my father in the Amazon jungle learning about the food, the plants and the native tribes...

Paddy Barrett in Ireland is preparing his Master's thesis on Product Management and would like to interview (USA) state-side product managers for his primary research. It would be awesome if you could help him, and help us all.
Pragmatic Marketing runs an annual survey of product managers. We looked at 440 results from the 2006 Product Manager Survey to uncover the trends in how different product manager roles are defined. The survey involved questions breaking down the allocation of time to different activities. In this article we look at how those activities varied for product managers, product marketing managers, segment / market managers, and technical product managers.
For most people, the first thing they want to do is understand product manager compensation data. That article included an analysis of gender bias in product manager compensation. We quickly followed with another article that provided details on product manager compensation versus company size. In response to reader questions, we took a look at product manager staffing levels. In that article, we tried to determine how many product managers to have for X products.
Now that we know how many product managers to hire, what should we have them do?
The role of a product manager is strategic. There are six areas of activity that are critical to product management.
The six areas
- Market Research
- Product Definition and Design
- Project Management
- Evangelize the Product
- Product Marketing
- Product Life Cycle Management
Within those six areas are a number of activities, and respondents to Pragmatic Marketing's survey provided a lot of data about what they do on a weekly basis. The survey asked product managers how much time they spent on each of seventeen different activities.
Each respondent was asked if they spent less than an hour, less than half a day, a full day, or more than a day on each of the following product management activities:
Here's the breakdown of time spent by activity for all survey respondents.
Each activity has a row in the table. To read the table, each column represents the amount of time spent on the activity. The headings represent the exact text presented in the survey. From left to right, the columns represent
The numbers in each cell are the number of respondents that selected that level of effort for each activity. When a cell represents more than 25% of the respondents, the text is colored red and marked in italics.
For each activity, the level of effort that had the greatest number of respondents is also bold with a gold background.
The results show a fairly even distribution of activities in each product manager's week. The areas that received concentrated attention were
Very consistent with the elevator pitch (30 seconds or less) description of what a product manager does. And all but the last one (sales-support) are identified as strategic activities. More than half of the respondents spent a day or more monitoring development activities, though. That seems a little high. Perhaps a more detailed analysis of the data will shed some light.The survey data asked people to describe their titles too. Next we evaluated the levels of effort by title.
The survey results included data from people who identified their titles as being most like one of the following:
Here are the same tables, but filtered to include only the responses by title.
The data for respondents with the title Product Manager is very consistent with the overall group data.
Product marketing managers have a very clear focus on sales and marketing support. They spend as little time as possible monitoring development activities. They also don't appear to be sacrificing a subset of the marketing activities – their effort appears to be relatively evenly distributed.
[larger image]
There were very few product-line manager responses in the data, but the areas of distinction are that they spend more time on preparing business cases and approving promotional material. They also spent far more time planning and managing marketing programs. This is good – these are the activities best leveraged across products.
Technical product managers spend much more time on inbound activities like monitoring the development team. They also are more heavily involved in writing detailed specifications. They still have healthy levels of market research and writing requirements. And they minimize the time they spend on outbound activities like sales and marketing support.
The levels of effort are generally reasonably well distributed across the many activities identified in the survey. Further, the roles that have distinct focus (inbound, outbound, multi-product) spend their time appropriately.
Please take one minute to answer the following two questions, because people need to know how their process maturity compares with everyone else. You'll be answering two easy questions –
We just completed a series of six articles about CMMI levels and RMM levels. We discussed how the two frameworks can be connected, and explored the reasons for trying to reach the next level on either scale.
Question 1
Question 2
Thanks for taking the survey, and if you have any thoughts about the results, just comment here.
The polls are open! Go to their announcement to take the annual Product Management and Marketing Survey!
Previous Results
Salary Trends
Pragmatic has some good detailed analysis of the data within each year's survey results. We thought it would be interesting to look at trends over time. Interaction design tells us to focus on personal goals as defining the framework for how someone approaches their job. Surveys aren't really going to capture those driving goals, or things like utility, job satisfaction, etc. The closest thing we have to a normalizer is looking at product management salary trends over the years of the survey. We also don't have normalizing data that would show us years of experience, cost of living, or a normalizing stock-option method (like Black – Scholes) to create an "equivalent compensation" analysis across the years.
Within each year's results, there are some demographic breakdowns by region of the country – but those only help a little. Markets like Silicon Valley, Austin, and Boston will skew the data relative to smaller markets. It would be interesting to see (in future survey results) what the salary data looks like as a scatterplot versus a cost-of-living index for the locale (city, not region) of the respondants.
We saw salary rises immediately following the dot-com bust, followed by some stagnation and deflation in recent years.
If we adjust for inflation we see some less optimistic annual changes in real earnings.
Looks even worse. If we show the same graph as above, but in 2000 dollars, we get the following:
This highlights the fairly rapid decay in product manager salaries over the past few years.
Women's Suffrage
Notice also the unreasonably large gap between blue (female) and maroon (male) overall compensation data.
Next: Go take the 2006 survey.
[Ed: If you read Tyner Blain via RSS you have to visit the site to vote in the poll. Also, we'll use a camera.]
An earlier post on CRUD use cases started a fantastic debate (both public and private) about what it means to write great software, and if it's even possible to write good software when we start with requirements. This leads to a discussion of the value of requirements driven development (RDD). If you search on Google, you'll see at least one whitepaper from every RDD-application vendor. Not exactly impartial.
So, here's a poll. Coerced, maybe. Impartial – probably. If you're new to the Likert scale – the unlabeled numbers (2,3,5,6) just serve to graduate the space between the "well described" positions.
Our poll asks how you feel on a McLaughlin scale about the impact of requirements on the greatness of software.
1. Metaphysical dependency. Great requirements enable great software (required, but not sufficient for greatness)
4. Take it or leave it. The benefits of requirements balance out the cost of managing them – no more, no less.
7. Inverse dependency. Requirements suck the life out of our team and our project – we'd be better off without them.
The poll:
Thanks for voting! And add comments if you want to explain your vote.
The top ten use case mistakes
We're reiterating the top five use case mistakes from Top five use case blunders and adding five more. For details on the first five, go back to that post.
There's also a poll at the end of this post – vote for the worst mistake.
More discussion on common use case mistakes
I liked this article by Susan Lily on use case pitfalls. Susan goes into more detail on out of scope use cases(#10 above), where she talks about defining the system boundary in UML use case diagrams as a means of helping to avoid out of scope use cases. She also encourages using a standard template for use cases (Inconsistency – #1) and proposes a minimum set of criteria for creating your own templates. She provides a good argument against CRUD use cases – in a nutshell, they do not represent primary user goals (but rather tertiary goals).
At one point she proposes a compromise of including low-fidelity screen mockups in use cases as a means to make them easier to understand and more efficient to communicate. I disagree with her here – this is at best a slippery slope, and more likely the use case equivalent of my requirements documentation mistake. Because images can be so powerful – even the simplest screen design elements will provide design guidance (Implementation cues - #4) to the developers – IMHO, it is unavoidable.
We've added a new feature to Tyner Blain – polls on individual posts! We're going back and adding polls to the most popular posts, and including them in many of the new ones. Each poll can have up to 7 entries – if an item isn't displayed, hover over the up or down arrows and the list will scroll. If the text for an entry appears truncated, hover over it with the mouse and the text will scroll. Vote early and vote often, and thanks for your vote!

Should I use black box testing or white box testing for my software?
You will hear three answers to this question – black, white, and gray. We recently published a foundation series post on black box and white box testing – which serves as a good background document. We also mention greybox (or gray box) testing as a layered approach to combining both disciplines.
Given those definitions, let's look at the pros and cons of each style of testing.
Black box software testing
White box software testing
Which testing approach should we use?
There is also the concept of gray box testing, or layered testing – using both black box and white box techniques to balance the pros and cons for a project. We have seen this approach work very effectively for larger teams. Developers utilize white box tests to prevent submission of bugs to a testing team that uses black box tests to validate that requirements have been met (and to perform system level testing). This approach also allows for a mixture of manual and automated testing. Any continuous integration strategy should utilize both forms of testing.

What book should I read to learn more?
Software Testing, by Ron Patton (the eBook version, which is cheaper).
Here's a review from Randy Rice "Software Testing Consultant & Trainer" (Oklahoma City, OK)
Software Testing is a book oriented toward people just entering or considering the testing field, although there are nuggets of information that even seasoned professionals will find helpful. Perhaps the greatest value of this book would be a resource for test team leaders to give to their new testers or test interns. To date, I haven?t seen a book that gives a better introduction to software testing with this amount of coverage. Ron Patton has written this book at a very understandable level and gives practical examples of every test type he discusses in the book. Plus, Patton uses examples that are accessible to most people, such as basic Windows utilities.
I like the simplicity and practicality of this book. There are no complex formulas or processes to confuse the reader that may be getting into testing for the first time. However, the important of process is discussed. I also have to say a big THANK YOU to Ron Patton for drawing the distinction between QA and testing! Finally, the breadth of coverage in Software Testing is super. Patton covers not only the most important topics, such as basic functional testing, but also attribute testing, such as usability and compatibility. He also covers web-based testing and test automation ? and as in all topics covered in the book, Patton knew when to stop. If you want to drill deeper on any of the topics in this book, there are other fine books that can take you there!
I love this book because it is practical, gives a good introduction to software testing, and has some things that even experienced testers will find of interest. This book is also a tool to communicate what testing and QA are all about. This is something that test organizations need as they make the message to management, developers and users. No test library should be without a copy of Software Testing by Ron Patton!

These terms get thrown about quite a bit. In a previous post, we referenced Marc Clifton's advanced unit testing series. If you were already familiar with the domain, his article could immediately build on that background knowledge and extend it.Software testing can be most simply described as "for a given set of inputs into a software application, evaluate a set of outputs."
Software testing is a cause-and-effect analysis.
The UML way to organize and manage use cases.
Instead of duplicating the explanation and summary work already done by Chris at grillcheese.blogspot.com, I'll point you to his post, Introduction to UML-2 use case diagrams. Agile modeling has a detailed post on UML-2 use case diagrams.
There are ultimately four pieces of information you want to know about use cases. UML diagrams will show you two of them.
Knowing that we can't answer all 4 questions with a single communication tool, here's what we should do:
(1&3) Create a matrix view of use cases versus actors to show which actors perform each use case, and when they will be available.
(2) Create a UML 2.0 use case diagram if you find that the benefits for your communication outweigh the costs of maintaining the diagrams. In projects I've worked on in the past, a simple flow chart with use case names have been used. These simple charts can be made in a fraction of the time, are more easily scannable, and present information more densely. If you are managing requirements with a tool that automatically generates the diagrams, then do it – but don't spend a lot of time on them. A flowchart takes almost no time to draw, and communicates the information just as effectively (and more succinctly). Suggestion – use the flow chart.
(4) Ultimately, UML diagrams (often referred to as "use case cartoons") focus your attention on what you are building, at the expense of losing focus on why you are building it. Create a mapping or maintain links (traceability) from use cases to goals.
The why of the use case is the most important information. Don't let use case cartoons distract you from it.
Poll: Which use case format do you use?
If you answered 'Other' please comment and let us know what you use!
Quick links to posts in this series
The informal use case is the tool of the Agile Requirements Manager. It is a paragraph describing the user's goals and steps. Also referred to as a basic use case.
Note that the paragraph format can also be replaced by a numbered series of steps – the key differentiator of this form relative to a formal use case is the lack of structured fields for "everything else" about a use case (preconditions, assumptions, etc).
An example of the informal use case format in the wild, in direct contrast to a formal format for the same use case.
[Update 2007/01/20: Download our free informal use case template today]
Rosenberg and Scott published a series of articles about incorporating use cases into their ICONIX software development process – the first article is here – Driving Design with Use Cases free subscription. They describe a "semi-formal" use case format, which is between informal and formal. They also describe ICONIX as a process that lives in the space between RUP (Rational Unified Process) and XP (Extreme Programming). Their process is a UML-centric approach to system representation, which incorporates the use case information into a structured and larger framework.

The goal in this agile approach is to be "just barely good enough."
That does range an interesting question – is good enough good enough? And how do we define it? There are several factors that weigh into making this decision.
The bottom line is that it all comes down to communication. If brevity is inhibiting our ability to be unambiguous, we should use a semi-formal or formal format for our use cases. If project schedule requires, and our team enables rapid iteration, we should use informal structure for our use cases.

St. Michael Eppan, the innovative Winery situated along the Wine Route, is considered one of the best wineries in South Tyrol and Italy.
Characteristics: A wine of international reputation, full of strength and complexity. An intense garnet red in colour, with the typical, characterstic scent of fresh grass, capsicum and liquorice. Hearty yet smooth, this wine is characterised by its tannins, whick are an important constituent for a long life and the corresponding maturation process. A wine for special occasions and for nourishing dishesand meal sophisticated cuisine whose potential - thanks to its long storage in the cellar - only increases.
This is a typical South Tyrolean wine, with a soft, pink colour, with a lively and fruity fragrance, which invites you in. Its inner structure possesses all the traits of a fine red wine. In fact, it originates the red Lagrein grape. It has a pleasant and accessible nature, however, when it is pressed as a white wine, which gives it its character as a rosé wine – quite simply known as the Kretzer in South Tyrol. A very worthwhile accompaniment to all sorts of dishes, the everyday meal through to the finest gourmet specialities. This wine should be drunk when it is young and fresh.
>> dettaglio
Color: brilliant deep ruby red Smell: The primary fruit aromas of dried plum and cranberry combine with the herbal aromas of mint and eucalyptus and a hint of black pepper to create a many-faceted bouquet. Taste: With its sturdy tannin structure and rich fruit aromas, the Merlot can develop to the full on the palate to display great complexity with depth and length.
The Lagrein has a dark ruby colour, during its youth with violet, later with garnet red reflexes. It is a pleasant, dry red wine, with notes of violets, chocolate and liquorice, on the palate it is velvety and with mild acidity. It is rich in tannins, but in the Bolzano basin, these tannins evolve in a very mild and sweet way. Recommended pairings are game, red meat and ripened cheese
The Kaminwurzen (smoked sausages) are mildly smoked and air-dried sausages of beef and pork, a typical South Tyrolean speciality.

Identifying Passiflora varieties
Back in the spring I purchased three types of Passiflora seeds: incarnata, caerula and alata. Though I had 5, 15 and 8 seeds respectively, I only ended up with 1, 2 and 2 sprouting. Problem is... the leaves on the 'alata' do not look like the leaves I see in pictures on the web. All five vines are growing nice and healthy, but only the incarnata has yet to produce flowers, which is fine since I had read that it can take 1-2 years before you see blooms on seed-started vines... if at all. So I'm left wondering if there's any other way for me to find out just what my mystery third Passiflora is? I know that leaves can at least rule some types out, but is there a way to really narrow it down without seeing a bloom?
I'm including a couple pictures of this mystery Passiflora. In both pictures you can see the lobed, but not-quite-as-lobed-as-incarnata nature of the leaves and in the first picture you can see the fuzzy nature of of the vine stem, which does not appear on my incarnata vine.
And not one to sit around twiddling my thumbs, I did some more investigating of my own and I think what I have here is P. foetida or Stinking Passionflower, which from what I can find could be somewhat invasive in Florida, though I might be too far north in Florida for mine to become a nuisance due to winter frost.
Yeah, that's P. foetida all right.
So I looked up Lady Lake, and I'm in Gainesville, FL, not too far from you. P. incarnata grows wild here, why don't you just go dig some up from the side of the road? I know for a fact I see it on the fences as I drive on the turnpike to Orlando, but I figure I shouldn't stop to go pick some. It's fairly easy to find, especially if you can recognize the leaves; about this time of year they start turning yellow before the surrounding foliage.
I have a P. incarnata. Even though I only had one sprout compared to the two foetidas and two caerulas, it is by far the most dominant plant on the trellis. The only time I have seen a P. incarnata growing wild was during my walk on the Sunnyhill Restoration levee after my sprouts had started. I wasn't quite prepared for taking a cutting, but I took one anyways, it didn't survive.
But as things stand now, I might be building two more trelli so that my caerula have a sporting chance to be seen. Jury is still out on foetida. I am thinking I will take a few cuttings and see if I can get them rooted. Then I will watch the main plant through the winter and see how it does. If the frost kills it, not just down to ground, but completely, then I will plant the cuttings in the spring time. If it survives the frost or only dies to root, then I will rip it up, I'm not much on keeping invasive, even mildly invasive, plants in my yard.
You want to keep your eye on the caeruleas and incarnatas as they will spread quite readily in your zone. Both are cold hardy and can even grow out of hand here in zone 7a. I love them and don't mind their spreading. An extremely cold winter can kill them completely but in your zone I don't think that would ever happen. I grow foetidas as annuals here. It's one of the few I grow that will reach blooming size from seed early in the summer. It dies completely, roots and all, during the winter here.
I'm not too worried about the incarnatas. Yeah, they can run, I know, but they are native to this area. Not that that means I won't have issues, it just means I should have a bit of help from Mother Nature in controlling it. The Gulf Fritillary and Zebra Longwing butterflies lay their eggs on the incarnata and I have read reports of the caterpillars almost completely decimating an incarnata vine. Which would be fine by me. The butterflies and their caterpillars are the reason I planted it in the first place.
But yeah, I will be keeping my eye on the caerulas. They are not native to Florida and I would not like for them to escape my control. Same thing goes for the foetidas.
Butterflies are the reason I first started growing passifloras too. We don't have Zebra Longwings or Gulf Frits but do have Variegated Frits. I didn't get any caterpillars for years but by then had fallen in love with passies and built up a large collection. I still don't get that many V. Frits but friends further south have a terrible time with the Gulf Frits. BTW the foetida is self pollinating and the fruit has a nice taste but they're just so small. P. suberosa (corkystem) grows wild all over S. FL and is a great host plant. The flowers are small but pretty in their own right.
Yep. I am on the lookout for corkystem, myself. While my incarnata hasn't attracted any Zebra Longwings, I think they have already migrated, it has dozens of Gulf Frit eggs all over it and even some on the caerula, but none on the foetida. I have yet to see a caterpillar though. I don't know if it's too late in the season for them to hatch or if I have predatory insects that are getting them. But it has me feeling fairly confident that come next spring/summer there should be plenty of caterpillars nom-nomming on my vines.
Thanks. I will keep that in mind. For now, with my one small trellis, I will just keep an eye on what I have. I might even pull up one of the caerulas to make room for the corkystem and to minimize how many I have to control. But I will give you a yell if I decide to take you up on your generosity.


text: Syria: Aleppo university bombed, at least 82 people dead Conflict Conflict Middle East Syria Daniel DeFraia on Dec 31, 1969 @ 7:33 PM A Syrian university student-turned-rebel makes a victory sign from his post in an ancient building located just 50 metres from the base of Aleppo's citadel in northern Syria on Nov. 8, 2012. Explosions at the University of Aleppo killed at least 82 people and wounded dozens on Tuesday, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, reported Reuters. Syrian state television reported a "terrorist attack" near the university, which is government-run. It was the first day of exams, the state news agency reported. Rebel activists, meanwhile, reported the explosions were caused by government forces, according to Al Jazeera. The British-based human rights group posted to Facebook page earlier Tuesday: "Aleppo province: 15 civilians killed and dozens injured by 2 explosions that shook the area in between the University Residence and the Architecture Building in the southern part of the Aleppo University. The cause of these explosions is yet unknown." "A cowardly terrorist act targeted the students of Aleppo University as they sat for their midterm examinations. This act killed 82 students and wounded 162 other students," said Bashar Ja'afari, Syria's United Nations envoy, while speaking to the UN Security Council, Reuters reported. Aleppo, Syria's second largest city has long been a battleground between President Bashar al-Assad's government forces and factions of the Free Syrian Army. The United Nations says about 60,000 people have been killed in the civil war since peaceful protests in March 2011 became violent. Here's raw footage of the aftermath:

At the end of last month the EU released its plans for "Unleashing the Potential of Cloud Computing in Europe". But although the document (s) - just like EU commissioner Kroes in this video - do a good job describing in non-technical terms what cloud is and why Europe should care about having a competitive cloud position, it kind of stops there.
Even though it defines three key actions - around Standards, Terms and Public Sector taking a lead role - most described actions consist of softer items such as "promoting trust by coordinating with stakeholders", "identifying best practices," "promoting partnerships" and "investigating how to make use of other available instruments." Now of course European cloud computing can benefit from funding reserved for other EU initiatives such as the Connecting Europe Facility and from side initiatives such as the "Opinion on Cloud Computing" published by the Article 29 working party that gives privacy-related contracting guidance, but in general the recent published plan seems to be more about what could and should be, than about what is or will be.
Meanwhile, both regular and social media seem to be increasingly negative regarding the progress that Europe is making. With the North American continent clearly being the biggest cloud geo and ASIAPAC - also thanks to its many emerging economies - claiming the position of fastest growing cloud geo, it only leaves less desirable labels - such as slowest or most fragmented - for describing the state of cloud activities in Europe.
Continuing to look at why things are harder and slower in Europe will just further reinforce negative sentiments, better to focus on European examples that are showing success. And in "Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard" the brothers Dan and Chip Heath offer an engaging recipe for doing just that. In their book they describe how by identifying "Bright Spots" (small pockets of positive exceptions) potential future success scenarios can be discovered. Next, they encourage promoting very specific actions instead of giving broad directions. For example: Instead of asking people to eat healthier (too vague, too hard), they suggest healthcare activists promote a specific action such as "buying skimmed instead of full fat milk" (simpler, easier, more actionable, more effective).
So in Europe, instead of pushing cloud as a concept (too vague, too hard), why not focus on identifying a few very specific and very simple scenarios including their specific benefits. Next Europe can concentrate on removing any (legal, fiscal, economic, cultural) barriers to these specific scenarios and promote these few clearly and broadly. And in doing so best to follow the Heath brothers advice to promote this both on a rational and on an emotional level (or as the brothers put it eloquently: both "Direct the Rider and Motivate the Elephant" ).
P.S. What potential European cloud Bright Spots would you suggest (using the comment field on this blog)?

The list of 'new paradigm' technologies that now surrounds us appears to be at an all time high. From cloud computing and Big Data analytics to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and the Internet of Things (IoT), today we have to deal with what the industry likes to call 'paradigm shifts' at every level of IT. This is disruption; of course, we understand that – change is almost always disruptive.

Hundreds of people gathered in front of Sree Vadakkunnathan temple to witness 'Aanayoottu' (feast for elephants) on Sunday morning.
Visual treat
It turned out to be a miniature Thrissur Pooram with people's fascination for elephants knowing no bounds. The ground was packed to capacity. Children were seen perched on their parents' shoulders.
Using their cellphones, many visitors captured images of the jumbos from different angles as 45 elephants polished off 500kg rice mixed with honey, ghee and turmeric powder.
Varied menu
The voracious eaters among the pachyderms did not stop with the main course and gulped down loads of bananas, jaggery, honey, corn, cucumber, watermelon, pineapple and sugarcane.
To kick off the eating marathon, temple melshanti (chief priest) Kottampilly Narayanan Namboodiri offered rice balls to three-year-old elephant, Chettuva Kannan, around 9 a.m.
Therambil Ramakrishnan, MLA, Cochin Devaswom Board president M. C. S. Menon, Thiruvambady Devaswom president M. Madhavankutty, secretary C. Vijayan, Paramekkavu Devaswom joint secretary V. M. Sasi and Kshetra Kshema Samithi president Kunnambathu Balakrishna Menon were present.
About 230 police personnel were deployed on the grounds. The event was insured for Rs. 1 crore by the New India Assurance Company Limited.
An 'Ashta dravya maha ganapathi homam' (offering holy material in sacrificial fire to propitiate Lord Ganesa) was performed by 50 priests, led by thanthri Puliyannur Sankaranarayanan Namboodiri, between 5 a.m. and 6.15 a.m.
In all, 10,008 cococuts, 3,500 kg jaggery, 1,500 kg avil (flattened rice), 300 kg malar (puffed rice), 300 kg ghee, 100 kg honey, 100 kg sesame and lemon were used for the pooja.
As many as 5,000 people partook of the ceremonial feast at the temple.
The events were held as part of the observance of special religious ceremonies in the Malayalam month of Karkkidakam.
