Plant Odyssey is closing
Libby has decided to retire. I feel sad to see Plant Odyssey close and told Libby so. She replied "Sad? Why are you sad? I am glad to have made a worthwhile contribution". Libby is truly an amazing person and there is no other place like Plant Odyssey in Birmingham.
Everything has been marked down to sell- to 50% of the original cost. If you have time please stop by to say goodbye to Libby and to let her know what a difference she has made.
When the Plant Odyssey first opened, I would walk pass there five days a week on my way to technical college and often pay a visit (most often I would "pay" after each visit! Libby took pleasure in reminding me of those days, and how one particular banker refused a "little woman" a loan because her dream of a nursery was "insane".
Her reply to you is so TYPICAL of Libby. You could love her and despise her at the same time (but mostly love her)! At her beginning she was at the forefront of women's rights, civil rights, gay rights, the rights of the handicapped, etc. A proud, progressive business owner who wasn't afraid to wear her heart on her sleeve at the risk of offending a few.
Since moving away, the Plant Odyssey is the only excuse I've had to visit Birmingham for 15 years; now I have none. It's the sad closing of one of my life's chapters.
Thank you, Libby Rich Etheridge, for making such a "worthwhile contribution". You're "odyssey" will forever be remembered.
Love and peace to you, my friend....
I have loved being able to stop by Libby's nursery and visit with her parrots
and buy plants on my lunch breaks. It helped my nerves immensely!
I told her some of us will probably be sending her some pictures showing how plants she helped provide over the years made our gardens better. I also picked up a HUGE glazed ceramic pot that I'm sure would have been $250 at Myers for $80. And some plants too of course,
She must have quite an aviary at home, as she says she is taking all of those parrots home with her!

The New England Patriots will try to avoid losing their second straight game Sunday night when they take on the Denver Broncos at Gillette Stadium.
Even though the Patriots are playing at home, they are coming into the game as the underdogs.
Glenn Ordway, Fred Smerlas and Steve DeOssie made their pick on the game on New England Tailgate.
"If [Talib] doesn't play, they are absolutely screwed," DeOssie said. "They are going up against the best pass offense in the NFL. Look for the Broncos to win this by seven points."
As always, Smerlas went with the Patriots.
"It's going to be a track meet," Smerlas said. "There is going to be very little defense in this game, wide open. I think the first team to get to 50 points wins the game. The Patriots win."

Social media shifts marketing model to customer-centric: DMA All For One
The client no longer owns the brand. Due to the proliferation of social media including Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare, customers must give permission to clients to enter their world, said Sasha Savic, chief commercial officer of Havas Media North America, on June 21.
Agency employee claims Neo@Ogilvy overbilled IBM by millions
A Neo@Ogilvy employee filed a lawsuit this month in New York federal court claiming the digital agency knowingly overcharged client IBM by millions of dollars. The plaintiff, Audrey Gladitsch, an associate digital media manager at the agency, also claims Neo@Ogilvy mistreated her after she brought attention to her concerns about alleged overbilling.

Why you no update!
id love to see more updates!
Diabolical Scone
**** it guys read the page 101.
Womp womp. League of Legends lore is dying because they don't take care of it. If they take down the Journal of Justice and get rid of virtually all of the lore and story in the game, how can other people be expected to make it grow?
It's incredibly short sighted and worrying. The story and background were one of the great things the game had on its competitors and I fear what it means for the future if they continue to try and min/max profits by cutting corners (or removing them completely in this case) on the truly unique and wonderful aspects of the game universe.
unfortunatly this manga is dead, it was great but o well, you cant blame the creator
bump for more updates maybe please god why not
srry but no more updates read page 101 , srry all it was good but yeah
Grow a ****ing pair. I'm sorry, but thats how I feel. At least type out what happens and post it. This thing had such potential, and now its been thrown away like its nothing. Unless he is dead, I DO blame the creator for killing this manga.
one more bump for an awesome manga. Then I'm writing emails to the creator
where's the rest of the comics

Articles by Section - Departments
Listing articles 141 to 150 of 388
Departments: Increase Overall Equipment Effectiveness
Comprehensive solutions that directly address food and beverage production efficiency include methodologies that manufacture without new investment. The food and beverage manufacturing industry is under steadily growing pressure. Once an investment is in place and as long as there is demand for the products, companies must produce as much as possible with existing production facilities while keeping costs as low as possible.
Departments: Tools For Better Food Safety Testing
Is our food really safe? The plethora of contamination events over the past few years certainly begs the question. The first major contamination event occurred in 1998 when Sara Lee recalled 35 million pounds of various meat products. Recalls were pretty quiet for about eight years, and then…
Departments: Quadrupole GC-MS System for Pesticide Analysis in Tea
Pesticides are intended for use on food crops to prevent, destroy, and control pests, which can be chemical, biological (such as a virus or bacterium), antimicrobial, or disinfectant. As a result, pesticide residues can be found in agricultural products like tea leaves and, due to their potential toxicity, can be harmful to human health. Pesticide consumption can cause a wide range of long-term health problems, including damage to the nervous and reproductive systems, birth defects, and, in some cases,...
Departments: Regulations, Market up the Ante for Food Safety
If you subscribe to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration's (FDA) Recalls, Market Withdrawals and Safety Alerts, you're well aware that food recalls occur almost daily. Few of these product issues receive nationwide publicity like this summer's recall of 380 million infected eggs or last year's Salmonella-tainted peanut butter.
Departments: Is Food Nanotech Withering on the Vine?
As recently as 2005, food manufacturing giants like Kraft Foods and Nestlé were touting the food science breakthroughs they expected to make using nanotechnology. At the time, anticipated innovations included tiny chemical tongues and noses to sense spoilage, smart foods that could change composition to suit the consumer, and delicious junk foods with the nutritional profile of broccoli. Kraft even organized a consortium of government and academic institutions, called the Nanotek Consortium, to...
Departments: Mustering Motivation
Training the employees in any type of food-handling operation is not an easy task. There are so many different areas of concern: GMP (good manufacturing practices), HACCP programs (hazard analysis critical control points), product safety programs (glass control, allergen and organic food storage, quarantine procedures, etc.), and other requirements.
Departments: Product Spotlight
High Performance Metal-Detection System; SW Super Washdown Scales; Stainless Steel Mat Top Conveyor; PCR High Throughout Protocols; Hydraulic Patty Former; PetroOXY Rapid Oxidation Stability Tester; New FT-NIR Spectrometer; Lab-Elite Certified Reference Material; X4 800XL X-ray System; MaxiPlus Rotary Brushes, Pad Drivers and Hardware; Vertical Storing Leveler
Departments: Sustainability Certifications for Food Manufacturers
As sustainability gains momentum throughout the food industry, we're seeing the increasingly popular use of ecolabels and certifications like organic, Marine Stewardship Council, and Pesticide Residue Free by primary producers. Third party certifications provide a valuable and credible way for these businesses to tell potential customers about their sustainability efforts. While most current certifications focus on primary producers, third party verification can also play a valuable role in advancing...
Departments: Reduce Water Usage, Eliminate Excess Waste
The food and beverage processing industry is known as the largest industrial user of water, consuming up to 20,000 gallons of water per ton of product, according to the North Carolina Division of Pollution Prevention and Environmental Assistance. And, with over 17,000 food and beverage processors in the United States alone, curbing this dependence on a community's clean water supply is a top concern.
Departments: Safety, Traceability in Food Manufacturing
The volume and severity of food recalls in recent years are enough to scare any consumer away from grocery aisles and frighten any food manufacturer into thinking that its product might be next. The industry got a taste of that reality with the massive recall of Salmonella-contaminated products made with peanuts originating from the Peanut Corporation of America (PCA). By March 2009, the recall included more than 3,200 products, with the number rising daily. Then, just as the dust seemed to settle, a...

How many of you have downloaded some code from the web, and been unable to use it because of 1) no meaningful comments in the code and 2) no other documentation such as useful examples? One of my senior project student teams struggled to use a poorly-documented AI engine downloaded from the web and finally gave up and wrote their own. Not exactly the kind of re-use of which Java code should be...

Sitting in Scott McNealy's keynote next to two Sun lawyers, Cliff Allen and Matt Marquis. Usually you don't get to see lawyers at JavaOne, but today is special for Cliff and Matt, because they worked like dogs for the SeeBeyond acquisition, which was announced today. Makes me think about how many people are behind each minute at a big event like this. Cliff and Matt's moment of fame lasted...

A clue for the folks who run this conference: When I run into someone I've met at last year's JavaOne, what's the first thing I want from the conference badge? Let me give you a hint: it isn't to see whether they have the same X-Ray of a cell phone that every other attendee has. This may come as a surprise, but trust me on this. I want to know their freakin' name. I'm particularly bad at...

Tuesday's keynote was hosted by Scott McNealy. I was fortunate enough to be able to work at Sun for over 3 years in the Jini group prior to getting a call from my friends at Verocel and moving there. I always enjoyed Scott's town meetings in the Burlington (Massachusetts) campus. His easy and irreverent style works for me. A couple of things stood out at this general session. First as the...

It 's been a couple of years since I've felt this kind of excitement at JavaOne. Wow what a great response to the announcement the Sun is open sourcing it's application server. Jim Driscoll, Amy Roh and I presented at the GlassFish BOF Monday evening to a standing room only crowd. Here are some highlights of that presentation. GlassFish is Sun's application server under the CDDL license (...

Amazon notes Very similar to eBay's talk yesterday. You can join an amazon associate program and get money based on sales you send to Amazon. It would be interesting to compare the richness of the APIs at eBay and Amazon. 80% of their WS calls are REST, 20% SOAP. These two talks make it clear that Web Services have passed the tipping point for adoption. Good thing there is such good support...

John Gage mentions that all the badges are RFID tagged. Talked about some of the things that can be done with this data. Who went to the most sessions? What session had the most attendees?

I think this buy does give Sun a competitive position in integration for...

Yesterday I reported that there seemed to be more attendees this year ... which does still seem to be the case today. But I'm hedging now, because there was no official announcement (at least none that I heard) regarding attendance, which is rather unusual for a JavaOne, in my experience. Usually some announcement is made in terms of attendance. Not so this year. Interesting ... The...

The CDDL License has been talked about quite a bit since Sun submitted it to the OSI (the independant body that validates Open Source licenses). At it's heart, it's basicly just the Mozilla Public license (in use for things like Firefox), with some bugfixes. For a really good description of the process Sun used in coming up with the CDDL for OpenSolaris, check out Claire Giordano's Blog on CDDL...

on Jun 27, 2005
On behalf of a friend: When you leave a BOF early, can you please close the door quietly? It seems basic courtesy to those left behind. As a counter-courtesy, maybe speakers at BOFs where there is no amplification could repeat questions? Next: Which fork do you use to skewer an ignorant speaker?
on Jun 27, 2005
The old optimism is still here in San Francisco. Sure we've heard it all before: the huge HUGE "opportunity" in mobile, the "renewed commitments" with other big players like IBM, and "the really interesting things", as Gosling calls them, that Sun's customers are doing with Java... but still, we can't help ourselves from suspending disbelief and getting swept away once again by the enthusiasm....
on Jun 27, 2005
Always a lot of great information at the keynote. Lot's of talk about Sun's many new and (in some cases) improved tools. I must admit, I was drooling over the Sun Ultra 20 Workstation for only 29.95 a month (nobody said when the payments would end). Didn't manage to get a piece of the Java's birthday cake but it looked good. The march of the computer languages never stops. It appears that there...

Why sit at home just thinking about laughing? There are free open mics dedicated to comedy almost every night of the week. Come out and try your hand at stand-up, do a sketch with a friend, or just come to enjoy the pain and joy that comes with live comedy (by the way, if you ARE sitting at home and thinking about laughing, then you are in a very dark place – find an outlet).
Open mics can randomly not happen for a variety of reasons or otherwise be unorganized in a way that is not predictable. If you've never done a particular mic before, it may be advisable to call ahead and confirm the time and happening with the venue.

Meet Erica Goldson, the 2010 valedictorian of Coxsackie-Athens High School:
The full transcript of her speech is here.
Your Thoughts?
Dr. Daniel Fincke has his PhD in philosophy from Fordham University and spent 11 years teaching in college classrooms. He wrote his dissertation on Ethics and the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. On Camels With Hammers, the careful philosophy blog he writes for a popular audience, Dan argues for atheism and develops a humanistic ethical theory he calls "Empowerment Ethics". Dan also teaches affordable, non-matriculated, video-conferencing philosophy classes on ethics, Nietzsche, historical philosophy, and philosophy for atheists that anyone around the world can sign up for. (You can learn more about Dan's online classes here.) Dan is an APPA (American Philosophical Practitioners Association) certified philosophical counselor who offers philosophical advice services to help people work through the philosophical aspects of their practical problems or to work out their views on philosophical issues. (You can read examples of Dan's advice here.) Through his blogging, his online teaching, and his philosophical advice services each, Dan specializes in helping people who have recently left a religious tradition work out their constructive answers to questions of ethics, metaphysics, the meaning of life, etc. as part of their process of radical worldview change.
Awww, I feel so old ^^;;;
Of all the innumerable critics of various educational systems, starting with the scholastic one (well, probably much earlier, but I don't really remember which Greek philosopher it could be) and not-really-ending with Althusser, the young ones, barely out of school, are most adorable ^^
That is brilliant. I'm amazed that someone could write this who's no older than, what, 18? I completely agree: our educational system centers around teaching people what to think, over and against the idea of showing them how to think independantly for themselves––but I could never of articulated it as clearly as she did. Very well-written. If I wore a fedora and came across her in public, I would tip my hat.
What was the last blog post you read here worth to you?

Hotel bom, mas com um ponto inacreditavelPosted Mar 25, 2015
O hotel parece novo, o quarto é bem decorado é o café bem simples mas com frios (algo raro), a equipe é muito atenciosa e há alguns mimos, como água filtrada, frutas e cookies sempre disponíveis. A parte da infra deixa a desejar pois o quarto tem um isolamento acústico péssimo, se houve tudo do quarto de cima. O inacreditavel é que o quarto e bem pequeno e a separação do quarto para o banheiro é de vídro jateado, com uma cortininha e um vão de 1 cm ao redor de toda a porta, portanto você dividirá todos seus momentos com a família. Se você não se importa com isso o hotel é bonzinho.

Excellent hotel for the pricePosted Mar 25, 2015
Pros: Minimalist decor is fantastic.
Cons: Small iron and board available in the room.
Location: Airport is not far.
Staff is attentive and pleasant. Greeted with a smile and nothing we asked for was met with a sigh, or seemed to be a bother. Staff went out of their way to accommodate their guests.

Convenient location for usPosted Mar 23, 2015
Pros: The staff was wonderful as was their breakfast.
Cons: Larger room; better seat for reading; brighter lighting. Replace mattress support board; it squeaks when sitting or turning over. Handrails in shower.
Location: Close to highway access and a shopping mall with AMC theater; steak restaurant Black Angus is nearby and delicious. Chula Vista town center nearby.
We had breakfast here 3 days and it was FANTASTIC. Very clean and quiet environment; modern décor all around. Shower was nice and large. Aisles around bed were narrow with suitcases taking lots of space.

Clean, modern, excellent staff.Posted Mar 21, 2015
The room was clean modern and very comfortable. The staff was always pleasant and did everything they could to make the stay great. Breakfast was fantastic and better than most hotel breakfasts. Fairly quiet for being on a busier street. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to be close to San diego for a great price.

Nice hotel in good location.Posted Mar 19, 2015
Pros: Location and staff service
This hotel was okay for a very short stay -- not week long. The rooms are much too small. There is no room in the bathroom for your toiletries and other items. Hotel describes itself as "urban boutique" but is really just a glorified older hotel on a very busy street that has been renovated in a very modern contemporary style.

Very SmallPosted Mar 10, 2015
I was extremely surprised on just how small the rooms were here. I read the reviews and many people were commenting on size of room but I was not prepared for what I was walking into. I do nor feel the hotel Expedia pix accurately reflect the room size. I was also very turned off by the foul smell inside the breakfast area which is also very small I did not want to eat anything once I walked inside. Clean rooms nice bathrooms and nice staff checking in and out but I would not stay here again. Also walls are very thin you can hear people above and below you.

helping vinca minor to spread faster
I've just finished planting over 500 vinca minor plants on a sloped area. Some of the area is bare in between the plants, but some of the area I left in grass as the slope is steep (erosion), but used something like Round Up to kill the grass. Then I weed-whacked the dead grass to almost nothing before planting the vinca minor. I realize there will be more grass/weeds that will come up. Is there a way to help the vinca to fill in faster, such as maybe putting some soil over part of the runners as they grow out from the plant?
When I lived in Zone 6, I converted a nearly impossible to mow slope from grass to vinca minor. As vinca runners developed, I used old fashioned hairpins (not bobby pins) to anchor a runner to the soil. I did this at a point where a pair of leaves grew from the runner. New roots developed fairly quickly at the anchor point and a "new" plant was established.
I didn't kill the whole slope at once. As new plants were established from the runners, I'd move down the slope and round-up another foot of grass along the length of the area. The runner/hairpin technique was then repeated in the new grassless area. Planting 500 plants, as you've done (whew!) will certainly work a lot faster.
Until your plants fill in and shade their own roots, they'll dry out much faster. Keeping them watered will really help them establish faster.
Sorry to change the subject on this post, but I can't figure out how to start a new post. I have spent many hours digging out weeds and grass from a large sloping bank. I have planted two flats of vinca to create an easier to care for groundcover. What is my best bet at keeping the weeds from creeping back in while the vinca takes time to spread? Thanks for any suggestions.

Stayed here one night for my son to attend an information session at VT. Coming from a Fairfield Inn in Fl that was a lower price, the comparison was like apples and oranges. The room was clean but I felt uncomfortable by the insecurity in the outer door. Room was clean but had an odor, that we left the door open for a couple of hours to air it out. Once it was aired out, the odor was tolerable. Probably would find somewhere else to stay if the opportunity arises. Getting a little pickier, since we travel so much for swim competitions.

Gonzalez starts as city manager
POSTED: Monday, June 23, 2014 - 10:27pm
UPDATED: Monday, June 23, 2014 - 10:34pm
Talks about immediate goals for city budget, economy
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — It will be a busy first 30 days in office for new city manager Tommy Gonzalez.
He had his first day on the job Monday, and having already met with city council and area leaders, Gonzalez now hopes to meet with all department heads within the next month as they work towards completing a budget for the next fiscal year.
"I think we have a great staff, and I think we just want to make sure we just work on processes and systems to support them and put them in the best position to succeed," Gonzalez told reporters.
Among his first goals, Gonzalez hopes to bring in more revenue to help communities he says may feel overlooked, as well as work on department realignment.
The job market is also another concern for Gonzalez, he said.
El Paso's unemployment rate is improving, and the city manager hopes to lower it further.
Yet part of his strategy plan is to continue to entice companies to come to El Paso using our unemployment rate as a selling point.
"And sometimes what you think is a weakness is actually a strength. We talk a lot about the unemployment rate in El Paso, and I think that's a strength because you can show that we have people ready to work."
El Paso's unemployment rate is at 7.3 percent for May, and with the exception of April's 7.2 percent, the metro area hasn't seen a rate as low since December 2008.
El Paso still falls far behind the state average of 5.1 percent.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
04 Apr 2012 16:02 GMT | Asia, US & Canada, China, France, India
India has returned to the elite club of countries with a nuclear-powered submarine when by inducting a new vessel leased from Russia.
AK Antony, the Indian defence minister, formally commissioned the INS Chakra II on Wednesday at its base in Visakhapatnam, a naval shipyard on the country's southeast coast in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
India is particularly keen to strengthen its maritime capabilities, given China's pursuit of a powerful "blue water" navy which Delhi sees as a threat to key shipping routes in the Indian Ocean and Indian energy assets in the South China Sea.
"This will be a big boost for the Indian navy," Antony told reporters. "The INS Chakra will ensure security and sovereignty of the country," he said in televised remarks.
The 8,140-tonne submarine, capable of firing a range of torpedoes, as well as nuclear-tipped Granat cruise missiles, was offered to India by Moscow on a 10-year lease - a deal greeted with alarm and anger by arch rival Pakistan.
India is currently completing the development of its own Arihant-class nuclear-powered submarine and the INS Chakra II is expected to help crews train for the domestic boat's introduction into service later this year.
"Our crews will get the experience of operating under water for several months at a go, unlike with the conventional diesel electric submarines, which have to come to surface at regular intervals," an unnamed navy official told the PTI news agency.
The Russian Akula II-class craft is the first nuclear-powered submarine to be operated by India since it decommissioned its last Soviet-built vessel in 1991.
Elite club
With the INS Chakra and the INS Arihant expected to start operational patrols by the end of the year, India will soon have two nuclear submarines guarding its vast maritime boundaries.
India signed up for the Russian submarine, formally known as Nerpa, in 2004, and it was slated to be handed over in 2009, but testing problems delayed the delivery.
The submarine was undergoing trials in the Sea of Japan in 2008 when its firefighting system accidentally went off, filling it with a toxic gas that killed 20 people on board.
Media reports also said India had complained that the weapons navigation system did not work to New Delhi's specifications.
Russia supplies 70 per cent of India's military hardware, but New Delhi has been unhappy about delays to arms orders from Moscow and has in recent years looked to other suppliers, including Israel and the US.
Five other countries deploy nuclear-powered submarines - Britain, China, France, Russia and the US.
India has promised not to arm the submarine with nuclear-tipped cruise missiles.

Broadband Backlash: Where it Comes From and How To Fix it
By Howard Baldwin, Contributing Columnist
It's easy to find positive news about broadband. Around the globe, government studies show the link between broadband and economic benefit. On the Connected Life Exchange, more examples abound, including my recent posts Broadband: Exploring the Demographic Patterns and How Broadband Reduces Small Business Expenses.
But it's also becoming easy to find backlash against broadband. It's neither limited by source or geography. In some cases, politicians rail against its cost; in other cases, citizens rail against its benefits. Read More »

Cisco is a Leader in the 2012 Gartner Wired & Wireless Magic Quadrant with a Policy-Guided Approach to Today's Networks
In the past few years a number of paradigm shifts have made policy-based networking essential to effective enterprise IT management. Some of these shifts include an increased reliance on virtualization and the cloud; the "consumerization" of business networks that has occurred with the popularity of devices such as tablets and smartphones; and the rapid adoption of video in business communications. By applying appropriate policies within the network, IT managers can do a better job of meeting users' expectations and become business enablers.
We believe our message of One Policy, One Management and One Network has been recognized in the recent Gartner 2012 Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure Magic Quadrant, where Cisco has been positioned as a leader.
Foundational to Cisco's One Policy strategy is the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), which enables organizations to create and deploy unified policy to address the need for BYOD compliance. ISE enables one consistent policy across the entire enterprise, as well as enforcement by correlating a unique combination of contextual information including user, device, location and time.

Cisco Positioned as A Leader in the Gartner Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure Magic Quadrant
Gartner has released their 2012 Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure Magic Quadrant. Cisco is recognized as a leader in this highly anticipated publication.
Our industry is going through dramatic changes. The rapid growth of cloud, mobility and business collaborations has put more and more pressure on the network. Disparate wired and wireless networks architected and managed separately are no longer sufficient to meet the new demand. This is the first time that Gartner covers wired and wireless LAN infrastructure together in one Magic Quadrant. It is a clear sign that the time has come to evolve the network infrastructure to address the rapid growth of cloud, mobility and business collaborations with a unified approach.

A better understanding of BYOD without Compromise
As anyone who attended Cisco's recent "BYOD without Compromise" Webinar noticed, the BYOD phenomenon is changing company priorities, and is bringing up a lot of questions about the solutions available to scale, secure and operate a successful network. Replay the Webinar
Join us for our upcoming #ciscowifi TweetChat during which you'll be able to engage in a real time BYOD discussion on Twitter with Cisco Technical Experts. What is a TweetChat?
April 17, 10-11am PST: TweetChat Topic: BYOD and Cisco ISE – use #ciscowifi.
First, I've put together just a few details based on the most popular questions posed during the recent webinar about Cisco's approach to BYOD. And at the end of this post, I've also listed upcoming events for even more in depth technical discussions on a variety of BYOD topics.
Enhanced Identity Services Engine (ISE):
Cisco ISE is a context-aware, identity-based platform that gathers real-time information from the network, users, and devices. This enables IT to offer mobile business freedom with policy for when, where and how users may access the network..
ISE integrates with Prime Network Control System and supports BYOD with any 11n Wireless Access Point (even if you're running your network in FlexConnect – aka HREAP- mode)
In addition to managing on-boarding, Cisco ISE has full guest lifecycle management. It also allows IT to deny access to devices for a variety of reasons; such as who you are, what device it is, if you are running the latest OS or anti-malware or how you are accessing the network..
Posture – Posture is the component of ISE platform responsible for enforcement of corporate security policies governing access to its enterprise network. For example, for non-corp owned devices, you can decide what is the minimal requirements based on the device type/OS etc. Setting this up ahead of time will avoid security issues with non-supported devices
ISE also provides real-time endpoint scans based on policy to gain more relevant insight. These automated features result in a better user experience and more secure devices. Cisco ISE uniquely leverages the network. It is essentially the brains for secure access and provides the policy to the network infrastructure (it is woven into the switches, routers, etc.)
New Prime Infrastructure:
Prime is a single package that provides complete infrastructure – wired and wireless, and mobility lifecycle management– configuration, monitoring, troubleshooting, remediation, and reporting. This solution includes: Prime Network Control System (NCS) for converged wired/wireless monitoring and troubleshooting, plus wireless lifecycle management, with new branch network management functionality; and Prime LAN Management Solution, for wired lifecycle management and Borderless Network services management.
Mobile Device Management (MDM):
To protect data on mobile devices and ensure compliance, Cisco is integrating with multiple Mobile Device Management vendors. This gives IT greater visibility into the endpoint as well control over endpoint access based on the compliance of these devices to company policy (such as requiring pin lock or disallowing jailbroken devices), and the ability to do remote data wipes on lost or stolen mobile devices. If you don't have a supported vendor, we will not be able to get as rich detail about the status of that device, however, you still get the full wired/wireless policy.
Current MDM third party vendors: Zenprise, Good, Airwatch, MobileIron
Device Operating Systems:
Wondering about which OS is preferred on your mobile device?
Cisco offers broad mobile device OS support in Cisco AnyConnect VPN software, including IOS, Android, and Windows Mobile.
When it comes to virtualization, Cisco has created the Cisco Virtualization Experience Infrastructure (VXI), an end-to-end systems approach that delivers the next generation virtual workspace by unifying virtual desktops, voice, and video.

These are awesome cutouts. They are MUCH bigger than I thought, which is great because they will decorate the table better. The small hole on top is great for hanging from ceiling with a string. Color is vibrant. Imprint is on both sides, so if it spins, you can always see the pattern. VERY happy!

I've mixed my Boxwoods! Help!
Bargain hound that I am, I snapped up a lot of marked-down Boxwoods for my Rose Garden. Saved a fortune, and the plants look obscenely healthy....but I planted a mixture of 'Green Mountain' and 'Green Velvet'. Just realized it this morning, and am having a "why was I born" moment, just now.
The Rose Garden is on our former Tennis Court, and so we're talking abut HUNDREDS of plants. The labels were removed and filed, as the plants came out of the drenching area (we let them have a good drink, to become maximally hydrated, overnight, before planting), and were being wheeled to the planting beds. We snapped these up from a big box retailer, and so can't blame anybody but ourselves....OK...blame ME.
The plants look identical, right now. But Spring Green is not their year-round hue, and I'm wondering if I haven't just planted a bloody mess: maybe dark green and bright green.
Too, 'Green Velvet' supposedly has a rounded, flattish, mounding habit, while 'Green Mountain' has an 'unique' columnar/pyramidal/tall growth habit. Ours will be clipped, of course, and so natural shape will be less relevant than if they were left to their own devices.
Our best friends and we moved out here at the same time. Both sold at top-dollar in booming Madison, Mississippi, and grabbed undervalued estate homes out here. Both houses had Tennis courts. I led the charge, to have them removed, so that we could have Rose gardens. I designed my friends', but pros installed it. But just had to be Mrs. Thrifty, and do it myself, for ours (Best Friend is feeding her family for a dollar a day, each, and snapping up undervalued stocks with the savings...I just had to be competitive...and I've always taken pride in skillfully delegating in my businesses, but doing my own labour at home...).
So guys, what do you think? I have no idea which is which. We COULD insinuate these Boxwoods into the Saturation Planting in front of the Inner Perimeter fencing. Or to the planting in front of the streetside Outer Perimeter. Neither place will be clipped, and the shrubs' apparently outstanding (but contrasting) growth habits could shine.
Or, I can just take my lumps, and see what happens. Seems trivial to agonize over Boxwood growth habits, as our world teeters at the edge of Anarchy and Genocide. I remind myself of Marie Antoinette delaying her flight from the mobs, because she couldn't decide which color leather should be used to line the picnic baskets. You can lose your head over such a thing....
Thanks, Dotty and Buyorsell! I WILL just wait it out, and see if noticeable differences emerge. Clipping may even them out. And frankly, my time budget for gardening will not stretch, this year, to handle replanting. Business beckons...

Listen: The Lonely Island: "I Fucked My Aunt"
By Pitchfork on May 15, 2013 at 8:30 a.m. EDT
The Lonely Island (aka Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer) will release their third record, The Wack Album, on June 11 through Republic. We've already heard "YOLO" ft. Kendrick Lamar and Adam Levine, and as part of their #WackWednesdays, we've seen the video for "Spring Break Anthem", starring Zach Galifianakis and James Franco. Below, listen to their new, incest-themed slow jam, the pretty self-explanatory "I Fucked My Aunt", featuring T-Pain.
Watch: Adult Swim Cartoon Show Starring Neko Case and T-Pain
By Ryan Dombal on March 4, 2010 at 12:55 p.m. EST
Front page photo by Brian Leli
Right now, Adult Swim is pitting shamelessly nonsensical and just-plain-wrong internet cartoons against each other for a chance to be on real-life television. One of those cartoons is called "Cheyenne Cinnamon and the Fantabulous Unicorn of Sugar Town Candy Fudge". In it, Neko Case provides the speaking voice (but not the singing voice) of the title character, who happens to be a Britney-style, coke-snorting, thong-wearing pop star (pictured). Meanwhile, T-Pain makes a cameo as a big-boned gingerbread man. Perhaps this virtual collaboration will cause Neko to soften on her anti-Auto-Tune stance? Time will tell.
But yes, this cartoon exists and you can watch it (and vote for it) here.
Want to Sound Just Like T-Pain? There's an App for That
By Ryan Dombal on September 4, 2009 at 1:50 p.m. EDT
Considering the relative dearth of T-Pain summer jams this year, I figured the Auto-Tune innovator might have spent the last few months smarting from Jay-Z's "Death of Auto-Tune" pronouncement.
Not so. In fact, Pain is trying to blow Auto-Tune up even more with a brand new iPhone app that can make anyone's voice sound like that of a sex-addicted robot. I just tried it; it works. T-Pain-- still a genius.
Buy the "I Am T-Pain" app here for $2.99 and instantly become the coolest asshole at your Labor Day barbecue. And watch two amazing promo videos for it-- one featuring the likes of Kid Cudi, DJ Khaled, Soulja Boy, Akon, and Keri Hilson singing the app's praises, and one featuring regular folks using it-- below:

RACVB recognizes Rockton business
A Rockton, Ill., business is honored for its excellent customer service. The Rockford Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (RACVB) recognized Fatt Cat Café (formerly the Elderberry Tea Room) with the August "It's a Great Day in Rockford" service award. This is the first time a Rockton business has won the award.
Customer service is a critical part of the visitor industry. Each month, RACVB recognizes those in the visitor industry who go above and beyond by providing excellent customer service. Award recipients can include front-desk staff at an attraction or hotel, wait staff, sales staff, cleaning staff or businesses that take customer service to the next level.
RACVB Executive Vice President Monica Krysztopa said: "Customer service can make or break an experience. If you receive great customer service, you're more likely to recommend a business or destination to your friends, and we all know a friend's opinion carries more weight than any paid advertisement. RACVB wants to make sure we recognize those businesses and employees who go out of their way to make that difference."
Area residents are invited to submit nominations. Have you experienced excellent service? Were you "wowed" by someone going the extra mile? If so, send an e-mail to Monica Krysztopa, RACVB vice president, at firstname.lastname@example.com, or call (815) 963-8111.

Can/should I repair a damaged spot on the vine
I noticed my pumpkin/kabocha plants have a spot on the main runner that is damaged. I dont THINK it was a squash borer, because this spot appeared right were the plant contacted the rough and sharp edge of a stone which makes the outside of the raised bed the squash is planted in. Also, chickens harassed the bed recently, and they dug beds into the soil nearby, pushing the plant around, tearing up a few leaves, etc.; they might have just stepped on it with their claws or pecked it or something. So I think it's just simply physical damage of one kind of another.
Anyway, would it be a good idea to put some gaffer's tape or something on the damaged spot? Is there any way I can be 100% sure it's not a squash borer?
If you want to be 100% sure it's not borer, you could take a knife and carefully slit the stem open to check. Either way, I would bury the damaged part of the stem so that it doesn't dry out and it will potentially form additional roots in that area. The danger of SVB and other damage to the stem is that water will be unable to be delivered from the roots to the end of the vine through the damaged stem. If you can encourage more roots to form further down the vine or near the site of the damage, water will have a clear path of delivery again. That is why many of the vine type squash are considered somewhat "resistent" to SVB, because they form roots at node sites, so even though a plant may be damaged by SVB, the plant doesn't die because the additional node roots keep the water flowing to the plant. Other squash are resistent because their vine is solid rather than hollow, and therefore a more difficult evironment for the SVB to settle into.
Best of Luck!
Thank you for the advice, Susan. Unfortunately for me, my squash are planted in a raised bed made from brick and rocks cemented together (I rent, so I sort of inherited this from a previous tenant). I am pretty sure there is enough soil to support the plants root system and all that, but the leader vine is protruding fairly far outside of the bed now onto the lawn, so I don't think I can bury it. If I can't use soil to protect the injured spot, do you think gaffer tape might help it out? I don't think the damage is too bad, but if I can protect it more and keep it from loosing moisture that I'd like to do that. Right now it seems to have scabbed over a bit, the damaged spots are kind of black (maybe stained by the soil the chickens kicked onto the plant).
If your plant is still ok by now, then you probably don't need to do anything. My concern with the gaffer tape is that it may keep in too much moisture and lead to rot. Maybe wrapping with something like pantyhose, would allow for some moisture retention, protect from additional damage and allow drying out some of the time, to prevent a rot issue.
I think you are right about not needing anything; it seems to have scabbed over fairly well.
The chickens attacked again yesterday and scratched out the dirt around the roots near the stem of a couple of my plants... I re-buried the stems under even more dirt and am hoping they did not suffer serious root damage. According to my neighbor, his chickens (which I previously did not mind having in my yard) will be shut into their pen from now on since they are running around all over the place.

text: I was born and raised in northern California, my husband in western Texas. We moved to Portland, Oregon about 20 years ago. We like to watch movies, go the theater. I volunteer in political campaigns, hike a little, and ride my bike a little.. My husband roasts our coffee, listens to as much music as he can, organizing neighborhood parties, and taking road trips to California and explore Oregon, is interested a just about anything. We both like to garden,cook for friends,and going to the beach, mountains, and high desert.
