Heads of various medical colleges and hospitals across the State presented their problems and demand for manpower and equipment to Health Minister V.S. Vijay recently.
Senior officials of the city's tertiary care centres told The Hindu that the representations were made at a review meeting held recently to assess the requirements of the hospitals at the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital here.
Technicians needed
The Government Kilpauk Hospital needs technicians to operate the mammogram, the ECG and the EEG machines. A senior hospital official said that everyday, around 500 to 600 patients required an ECG.
The hospital has been sanctioned an MRI scan machine, but since it does not have trained technicians to operate it, the equipment has not been installed. Similarly in the radiology department there are radiographers but no technicians to handle the equipment. The hospital is also facing a dearth of sanitary workers.
Officials at the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital have also sought filling up of vacancies, including doctors. One of the requests is for an elevator for the Orthopaedic Department. The officials have also requested more funds for drugs and equipment and disposables.
"Every hospital can refer its patients to us but we cannot turn anyone away. This puts a lot of stress on our budget also. We have also given a proposal for a new mortuary," said V. Palani, medical superintendent.
The present mortuary has a capacity to hold 175 bodies and many of them remain unclaimed leading to storage problems. The hospital performs around 15 to 20 autopsies every day. The hospital has requested a specially equipped ambulance which is used as part of the medical team that accompanies VVIPs during their trips.
Sources said the Government Stanley Hospital had requested a solution for the transportation of patients from the main hospital building to the paediatric wing across the Old Jail Road.
An elevator with lift was installed sometime ago at the hospital but a number of patients require to be shifted from the main building to the Neurology and the Dermatology ward in the paediatric wing, resulting in patients having to cross the road.
This becomes difficult for patients, as the Old Jail Road is perennially congested with container and lorry traffic.

Istanbul Travel guide
Istanbul : Michelin's recommendations
Byzantium to the Greeks, Constantinople to the Romans, and Istanbul to the Ottomans, this city has retained numerous treasures from the twenty-six centuries of its history. This global city links Europe with Asia, a role that is played out around the Bosphorus, a stretch of water linking the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara. The European side is studded with minarets, cupolas and palaces, while its Asian counterpart revels in elegant princely residences. Istanbul offers visitors an entrancing mix of atmospheres, ranging from fish markets and trendy bistros to centres of modern art and old mosques, and the Grand Bazaar to luxury international boutiques.

text: 000 FXUS63 KEAX 252350 AFDEAX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 650 PM CDT Mon May 25 2015 .UPDATE... Issued at 650 PM CDT MON MAY 25 2015 Primary evening updates were to issue a short-fused flash flood watch for extreme northeast KS and parts of northwest MO for this evening through mid-morning Tuesday. Multiple rounds of storms are likely to trek over this area, and periods of heavy rainfall rates will create significant runoff over already saturated grounds. The threat for severe weather continues across northeast KS and northwest MO this evening as well. Deep layer bulk shear values increase from west to east to about 40-45 kts across north central MO, and storms that have developed this evening will continue moving into this regime. MUCAPE values are still more than supportive of robust convection, generally between 2500-3500 J/kg. Aircraft soundings indicate a continued capping inversion right around 800 hPa in the Kansas City area, so may have to wait several hours before storms impact the metro. Current trends indicate that the two areas of storms which are 1) trailing from northwest MO to central KS, and 2) near the Wichita area could arrive around the same time, first impacting KC between 11 PM and midnight. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 313 PM CDT MON MAY 25 2015 Primary concern is the potential for severe convection to occur this afternoon through this evening. Afternoon water vapor imagery, visible satellite and surface observations reveal a very complex pattern. In the upper levels, several distinct shortwave troughs were noted within the main longwave pattern. The strongest was rotating into west Texas, and this may have the best influence on our area later this evening and tonight. The other is over western Nebraska and may ultimately phase/merge with the west Texas wave. At the lower levels and the surface, there appears to be an area of low level convergence/theta e advection max extending from a surface low in south central Kansas through northeastern Kansas. It`s this convergence area that seems most likely to initiate convection that will ultimate influence the forecast area. The anticipation is that convection will initiate on this convergent area from south central Kansas into northeastern Kansas this afternoon and early this evening. The eastward extension of this would most likely occur as cooling aloft/deeper forcing associated with the phasing/merging shortwaves as they move eastward. So in the 00Z to 03Z timeframe, there may be in increase in coverage over eastern Kansas that will then begin to influence most of the western portions of the forecast area. CAPE will be strong, perhaps as high as 3500 J/kg late this afternoon. However shear is marginal and 0-3km helicity is not overly impressive. However, the combination of strong instability, marginal shear, 0-1km helicity values in the 120-140 m^2/s^2 range, in the presence of a weak boundary/convergence area, may support rotating storms initially before an imbalance in the instability/shear results in cold pool dominated regime. With decent mid-level lapse rates and modest downdraft CAPE, large hail and damaging winds look to be biggest threat. However, an tornado or two can`t be ruled out, especially with low LCLs in the area. Shear is expected to increase through the night as the influence from the upper shortwave trough begins to have more influence on the area. So there may be a potential for convective system, possibly severe, to move through during the overnight hours with the best potential for severe weather overnight in our southern and southeastern zones. Given increasingly strong 0-1km shear, close to perpendicular to the storm motion, and increasing low level helicity late tonight, a few circulations within the possible convective line seem possible. Timing of this would be late tonight and seems most likely confined to our southern and southeastern zones based on latest trends from short-range model guidance. Precipitation will likely be winding down from west to east through the day in the wake of the possible convective system and its associated subsidence. But continued troughiness, for lack of a better term, may continue to lead to a few/scattered showers/storms across northern Missouri. The overall unsettled weather pattern looks to persist through the remainder of the week. While the flow is closer to zonal, there is enough troughing to our west and ridging to our east to maintain a southerly moist flow. By the end of the week and into the weekend, models move this western trough over the region as either a cutoff low or at least a slow moving system. Through the extended, there doesn`t appear to be a 12 hour period where some precipitation isn`t possible. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday Evening) Issued at 650 PM CDT MON MAY 25 2015 VFR conditions will continue for a few hours at all terminals, before areas of thunderstorms build into the area. Currently, it looks like storms may impact the KSTJ terminal as early as 01-02z, and the KC metro terminals beginning between 04-05z. These storms should clear out of the area between 10-12z, leaving behind VFR conditions for the remainder of Tuesday. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Sounds like an engine instead of a squeek.
posted 6 years ago
This is more of a treat toy. He plays with it for awhile & when he walks away I put it up. Other wise he will chew it up just to get to the noise maker. He went through 2 other ones that just had a squeek in it. I think the price could come down just a bit. I like as much as he does.
Pros: Harley goes nuts with this toy.
Cons: He tears it up in no time so I monitor & put up when done for awhile.

My 2 labs love plush toys! I can let them play with it for a while, but I can't let them chew on plush toys for too long. It would be destroyed then!
Pros: my dogs love plush toys
Cons: I doesn't last long if I let them chew on it

For me, allowing myself to let go of junk is a matter of self respect. I respect the thrift shops enough not to pass the buck to them, and I respect my own time, energy and space enough not to gunk it up with useless things. I've often found that the emotion that keeps junk in my house is fear--I'm afraid to let it go lest I be "wasteful". But looking deeper into that fear, I discover that holding on to the useless items is actually the most wasteful thing I could do because it sucks up my precious time, energy, and space.

Short, Simple, No Spoilers
Katniss and Peeta return triumphantly to District 12. After 6 months, they embark on a tour around the other districts as dissent and tensions rise. An outraged President Snow concocts a special treat for the 75th Hunger Games.
This book is slow to start with the "couple" touring on the train and adjusting to living in their victors' houses in a separate village while the townspeople continue to exist in squalor. The love triangle grows more complicated with Gale now back in the picture. Mid-way through, the story gains speed with an interesting twist and never stops. Couldn't download the third quickly enough.
My only complaint is how old the narrator sounds. I grew accustomed to it in the first book and it doesn't detract too much from the fantastic story.

Project Description
This summary covers a proposed loan facility from a syndicate of commercial banks to Turkiye Ihracat Kredi Bankasi AS (TE), Türk Eximbank. Citibank International plc, serving as the lenders' agent bank, has applied for a MIGA guarantee for an amount of up to $500.0 million for a tenor of up to 11 years covering principal and interest, against the risk of non-payment of their long-term financing to TE.
The project involves an increase in medium and long-term financing by TE to the Turkish export sector, focusing on mostly small and medium enterprises (SMEs). TE's increased longer-term lending capacity will be funded by the €250 million ($345 million) 10-year loan facility from Citibank Europe Plc., Norddeutsche Landesbank – Girozentrale (NORD/LB), and Société Générale S.A. The loan facility will complement TE's other funding sources and will enable it to provide much-needed medium and long-term funds to SMEs and contribute to Turkey's efforts to grow its export sector.
Environmental Categorization
The project is a category FI-2 under MIGA's Policy on Environmental and Social Sustainability. The facility guaranteed by MIGA will be used to support medium and long-term loans (approximately 80 percent of which are expected to be working capital loans and 20 percent investment loans) for small (less than 250 employees) and medium (between 250 and 1499 employees) size enterprises. In the TE portfolio, direct lending of medium and long-term loans is concentrated mostly in medium-risk and low-risk sectors (e.g., manufacturing and services) as opposed to high-risk sectors (e.g., mining and infrastructure). The financing guaranteed by MIGA will be used to fund business activities that have a potentially limited adverse environmental or social impact, that are few in number, generally site-specific, largely reversible and readily addressed through mitigation measures. The financing guaranteed by MIGA will not be used for high-risk projects.
TE has an overall system for evaluating credit risk, which for the MIGA-guaranteed financing will include screening against a negative list that is consistent with MIGA's Exclusion List and consideration of environmental and social risks and impacts. Given the nature of activities supported by the MIGA-guaranteed financing, the system will ensure compliance with MIGA's Exclusion List and applicable local environmental and social laws. TE relies on the Ministry of Environment to review environmental and social impact assessments (when required) and monitor environmental compliance of investment projects. The Ministry of Environment's review and monitoring is evidenced by provision and renewal of environmental approvals and permits. TE will also ensure ongoing compliance of its employment practices with MIGA's Performance Standard Two on Labor and Working Conditions, and will provide MIGA with an annual monitoring report summarizing the implementation of the system for managing environmental risks and impacts and the overall environmental and social performance of the portfolio.
Development Impact
The MIGA-supported loan facility is expected to allow TE to provide longer term financing at cheaper pricing. This is especially relevant for SMEs, which currently lack attractive financing options.
Export strategies are an integral part of Turkey's short- and medium-term development plans. The MIGA-supported loan facility is aimed specifically at helping TE reach its credit-expansion targets for SMEs. TE's increased lending capacity, based on the expanded resources realized through this MIGA-supported funding, enables companies operating in Turkey to maximize their export opportunities, improves the competitiveness of Turkish exports in foreign markets, and assists in job creation and retention among Turkish exporters.

40.More competitive swimming - Some of the swimsuits favoured by professional swimmers utilise technology found in spacesuits. The rubber is covered with barely visible grooves that reduce friction and aerodynamic drag by modifying the flow of water over an athlete's body. These suits are 10 to 15 per cent faster than conventional swimsuits and could give an athlete the winning edge.

Pain In My Heart
by Otis Redding
Released: Jan 1964
Label: Rhino/Elektra
The first full-length from one of the most brilliant soul singers ever displays his reverence for idols such as Sam Cooke (on a very faithful cover of "You Send Me") as well as the energy and emotion that would set him apart. Hard-charging originals such as "Security" and "Hey Hey Baby" provide the energy. Perfect ballads "These Arms of Mine" and the title track give you a feel for the emotion, which Redding didn't perform so much as inhabit.

Pune: There is cause of concern after India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted below normal rainfall. The Agrometeorological department, under the guidance of Ministry of Agriculture is preparing a contingency plan to ensure that agriculture production is not hampered even if country gets below average rainfall.
N Chattopadhyay, deputy director general of Meteorology (Agricultural Meteorology,) said, "For the first time, IITM is providing weather forecast for 15 days. Depending on that forecast, Agromet will be issuing advisory to the farmers. We are taking help of mobile service providers that will give update the farmers regarding the weather changes."
Agromet department is giving advisories depending on the changes in weather, right from the sowing period of farming. If there is a delay in rainfall they will inform farmers about delay and accordingly they can cut short the durations of crops. They'll suggest alternate crops in case there is lesser rain.

Con Ed Workers and Allies Rally in Union Square to End Lockout
Batman and Robin, where are you?
…Gotham City, a k a the Big Apple, is rotting away. The great People are in dire straits and need your help. Mayor Mike Doomberg & the Dumb Governor Andy Slomo are out to get the masses. They are placing this Great Metropolis in grave danger for their greed & control.
They are allowing the Corporate Evil Giant Conn-Ed total control over the electrical supply system to this Great City. The Board of Dictators lead by Mr. Kevin the Jerk Burke & his evil kick-in-the-side Mr. Poison (Craig) Ivey have locked out & demoralized the rank & file workers. Along with the other evil members of the Board of Dictators, they are threatening the security of the power system to the metropolitan area for their greed & control.
These evil moguls are placing the good people in the Greater Metropolitan Area in a time warp. A power failure will place us somewhere in the early nineteenth century. No cellphones, TVs, security systems, A/C, elevators, mass transit (no trains, street lights or signals), hospital services, the list goes on and on.
Is this fair, to hold this great city in fear?
So Conn-Ed, you have the masses under your evil threat. Maybe a complete system outage wouldn't happen, but the news is reporting various outages in this region.
Is this how you plan to rule the Metro Area?
Shame on you all. What rock will you hide under then? If a failure occurs?
Does this Board of Dictators have any conscience?
What happens to the sick & infirm-ed? The people who placed you in office? Total disrespect and arrogance for these fine citizens. Remember, what goes up must come down. Get ready when election time comes, Mr. Slomo & all you crooked politicians. Fail the people, they will not forget.
Good stockholders of Consolidated Edison, beware—you have a bunch of baboons running your company. Mr. Kevin the Jerk should be eliminated from power. An investigation by the PSC should be performed.
Con Ed made record earnings last year, $1 billion, and didn't pay federal taxes three years in a row. The Board of Dictators got a 20 percent raise across the board. Mr. Jerk made $11 million in cash, with an $18 million guaranteed pension bailout.
They, the "corporate gangsters," want to abolish the defined pension plan for the union workers that has been in existence for seventy years. A pension plan that has $8 billion in capital. The interest earned pays for all the retirees' benefits. These Corporate Moguls want to gain access to this $8 billion for their greed & control—liquidate the assets & possibly sell the company to some foreign conglomerate.
Lockout: no wages & limited medical coverage for 8,500 families. How disgraceful. All for corporate greed & control.
Where is the justice? Wake up, Gotham, your great city is going down.
Batman & Robin, where the heck are you?

Flash Photolysis

Pulsed-laser transient spectroscopy; Time-resolved light-induced reactions
Flash photolysis is "a technique of transient spectroscopy and transient kinetic studies in which a light pulse is used to produce transient species. Commonly, an intense pulse of short duration is used to produce a sufficient concentration of a transient species suitable for spectroscopic observation" (IUPAC 1997).
In 1967 Ronald Norrish, George Porter, and Manfred Eigen were awarded the Nobel Prize for studies of extremely fast chemical reaction, effected by disturbing the equilibrium by means of very short impulses of energy. The flash photolysis method is one those famous relaxation techniques which were developed by laureates and many other scientists in the last half of twentieth century. As it happens quite often in history of science, a technique developed in wartime has been applied in unexpected way. In 1948, George Porter realized that high int ...

He is now part of the latest incarnation of Hellfire Club, having been recruited by Kade Kilgore.Alongside the Hellfire Club, they attacked the Museum of Mutant History which brought them into conflict with the X-Men. He managed to stop Namor with a gun that fires intense blasts of heat.He was responsible of taking one of the original Krakoa´s grandchildren and manipulating it into becoming a creature of hate and rage. He used this new version of Krakoa to attack Jean Grey School.Maximilian leaves the Hellfire ClubWhen Kade Kilgore enlisted the help of Frankenstein to attack the Jean Grey School, Frankenstein attacked Max, having swore revenge on all members of the Frankenstein Family. He is saved by Idie Okonkwo, and in return decides to turn his back on the Hellfire Club and reclaim his name as a Frankenstein.

Food Party Hostess Thu Tran at Everything Is Festival Tomorrow
Food Party
Tomorrow kicks off five days of found footage feting known as the Everything is Festival at Cinefamily. It's a celebration of diggers, curators, and collectors as much as the weird, funny, campy, boogerfaced footage they unearth. Along with Joe Dante's four-hour legend The Movie Orgy (1969), a Q & A with the writing staff from "Conan," and a motivational speech by Andrew W.K., the Cinefamily welcomes Thu Tran, hostess of IFC's Food Party, to the Silent Movie Theater stage for questions and cooking demos. But what is Food Party you ask? We're glad you did.
Food Party is a cooking show in the vein of Pee Wee's Playhouse. The show your kids made out of macaroni then gained a cult following. A lo-fi DIY home cooking show that teaches the secrets of a serious kitchen. We mean a seriously technicolor kitchen: How to make everyone think you have a food budget that rivals Scarface's coke budget, and how to plate cheese puffs to impress your guests. The answer is imagination. And food glue (Easy Cheese). A sock puppet sous chef also helps, but not terribly because they don't have hands.
Tran has cooked for celebrities like Jay-Z, Beyonce, and LeBron James' cardboard cutouts. She has given birth to a galactic vampire kitten. Sows quiver before her cleaver. Tomorrow she'll be playing clips from her favorite moments on Food Party as well as some of her never-before-seen food-related video shorts. All this in addition to her on-stage cooking demo which we hope will go something like this...
Everything Is Festival passes are available on Brown Paper Tickets. For more information or to buy tickets for Food Party at Cinefamily ($12), visit the Cinefamily website. Event starts at 9:45.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
THE BETA BAND could be Portishead's bratty little acid-dropping brothers. The spacey quartet of Scottish banditos are as likely to make papier-mâché-palm-tree art installations as they are to record off-the-cuff acoustic ditties over beatbox beats and daydream vocal stylings. And even though the Band flirted with the mainstream when John Cusack played their song "Dry the Rain" and immediately sold their album to circling indie rockers in the film High Fidelity, their commercial viability still remains safely dubious.
The recent Hot Shots II, while easily the band's best album, is shockingly introspective for the art-school pranksters. Stylistically, we're talking dreadlocks and Krautrock, and between here and there, almost anything goes. A strong Jamaican dub mentality characterizes each tune: The downbeats and basslines are the most memorable contributions. Elsewhere, the Band builds proggy folk excursions off of a sample, and lets singer/multi-instrumentalist Steve Mason's sci-fi ramblings launch the listener into the outer limits. There's a spare, slightly sinister quality to the cinematic opener, "Squares." Sputtering rhythms and swelling keyboards and choirs characterize "Al Sharp." And a shambling piano and harmonica end in chaotic punk jamming on "Human Being."
Unfortunately, Mason is silly rather than cleverly inspired on the upbeat "Eclipsed," but that's easily forgiven considering the strength of the rest of the album. At his best, Mason is in acoustic-vagabond mode, creating scenarios in which the lyrical "Power Ranger robots in disguise" and the sampled opening of Harry Nilsson's "One" come together. The Beta Band's stir-it-up mentality isn't unique in rock, but their knack for making organic mutations engaging and otherworldly is definitely distinctive, rendering Hot Shots II a space-case masterpiece.

Service-Oriented Context-Aware Framework
Date Added: Jun 2009
Format: PDF
Location- and context-aware services are emerging technologies in mobile and desktop environments, however, most of them are difficult to use and do not seem to be beneficial enough. The research focuses on designing and creating a service-oriented framework that helps location- and context-aware, client-service type application development and use. Location information is combined with other contexts such as the users' history, preferences and disabilities. The framework also handles the spatial model of the environment (e.g. map of a room or a building) as a context. The framework is built on a semantic backend where the ontologies are represented using the OWL description language. The use of ontologies enables the framework to run inference tasks and to easily adapt to new context types.

- It may be too late to pick up the "free desert" of higher returns from small caps and value stocks, suggests Larry Swedroe, as their historical outperformance is now common knowledge. In the past few years, markets have quickly bid up the share prices of these names alongside numerous publications and studies proving their superiority as investments. "One of the characteristics of an efficient market is that once an anomaly is discovered, the very act of exploiting it will cause it to rapidly shrink and eventually disappear."

- Particularly apt reading tonight as stocks head south on worry about a partial U.S. government shutdown, The Brooklyn Investor makes the case for trying to ignore whatever the latest macro-boogeyman happens to be, and instead focus on buying and holding reasonably valued stocks. Paraphrasing Seth Klarman: "You just have to figure out what a business can earn in five or ten years on a normalized basis and see what it's worth; if you can buy it for lower than that, then it doesn't matter what the headlines say."
- The Shiller cyclically adjusted P/E ratio does raise TBI's eyebrow as it shows the market to be 47% overvalued, but it was similarly so in 1966. While the averages did nothing over the next 16 years, the "Superinvestors of Graham and Doddsville" (Walter Schloss, Tweedy Brown, Sequoia Fund) racked up ridiculous returns (this, of course, may be of little comfort to index investors).
- Buffett's classic "Superinvestors" article from 1984.
- Can the market go down? A lot? No doubt, says TBI, but the odds against being able to exploit a bear market are far too long - better to spend time looking for stocks trading at 1.1x book that should be selling for 1.5x book.

- What George Soros' The Alchemy of Finance was to global macro investors, Michael Burry's journal of trades in 2000/2001 may be to value fans. "My strategy isn't very complex. I try to buy shares of unpopular companies when they look like road kill, and sell them when they've been polished up a bit ... I care little about the level of the general market and put few restrictions on potential investments."
- Plucked out of message-board obscurity and staked by Joel Greenblatt, Burry posted returns at his Scion Capital hedge fund of 8.2% in 2000 (partial year), 44.7% in 2001, and 13.1% in 2002, as the S&P lost 7.5%, 11.9%, and 22.1% during the same periods. When the S&P bounced 28.7% in 2003, Scion gained 50.7%.
- This journal shows Burry willing to venture into just about any industry or situation as long as he sees value there. One place he definitely didn't spot value was in the previously-favored big cap tech names as their stock prices imploded. "Now that the bubble is pricked, tech stocks will face scrutiny they never faced before. It is a good time to start picking prices based on a solid understanding of the fundamentals ... greater bargains are sure to come."
- Burry went on make an even bigger fortune for himself and his investors by shorting MBS from 2005 on (though his investors, including Greenblatt, never forgave him for straying from stockpicking).

RFV vs. ETF Alternatives
RFV Description
The S&P MidCap 400/Citigroup Pure Value Index is narrow in focus and consists of those S&P MidCap 400 companies that exhibit only strong value characteristics. It contains approximately one-third of the equities of the S&P MidCap 400™ Index. Rydex S&P Pure Style exchange traded funds (ETFs) are benchmarked to the S&P/Citigroup Pure Style indices. Unlike traditional style indices, these pure style indices seek to remove overlap between growth and value. Each index is weighted by style scores, as opposed to market cap. Only pure growth and pure value stocks are included and the stocks with similar growth and value characteristics are eliminated. Therefore, these products deliver pure style based only on stocks with the strongest style attributes.

SSL Certificate Renewal
My existing SSL certificate has expired, and needed to be renewed. I've received my new cert, and imported to my server. I've tried a few different ways to replace my existing cert:
- Import into local machine store, update IIS bindings. Update RD Gateway cert. Update SSTP binding.
- Run Domain Config wizard, use existing cert, supply newly received cert PFX. Run repair on access anywhere.
No matter which method used, while the new cert works for a day or 2, it eventually reverts to the machines self signed cert resulting in errors. I can't find an event that correlates to reverting certificates, so I'm at a real loss as to what's taking place.
Any guidance on how to complete this scenario properly?
All replies
I would run the Anywhere Access wizard and turn off RWA.
Run it again and import the new certificate from PFX.

Guidance is few and far between right now.
Best thing to remember is that the 'renewal' is essentially a term for the process, but not what you're doing.
Im paraphrasing slightly, but the process is identical to purchasing a new SSL, it just happens to have the same name.
So, you can go through the process here:

Hello Robert,
I am exactly in the same situation as "tsull360". I have to renew my existing certificate from GoDaddy and I don't find any instructions how to do it. What is the exact procedure on how to renew an existing certificate using Anywhere Access wizards? Meanwhile, I have looked at your "RWA & SSL Configuration Decision-o-Matic" chart from your site (http://titlerequired.com/2013/02/06/manually-creating-a-certificate-request-windows-server-essentials-sbs/) and figured that my newly issued certificate has to be imported as a PFX file into W2k12srve. Is this correct? If so, how do I manage to get this PFX file from GoDaddy?
Yves Leduc
Tried to get an answer to this earlier, with no success. I just ended up creating a new cert request and going through the wizard again :(
Here's what worked for me for 2012 Essentials:
Start the Essentials dashboard. In the upper right corner, click on Settings. In the Settings dialog, in the left column, click on Anywhere Access. Under Domain name, click "Set up" to start the wizard.
Getting Started: (No settings)
Configure your domain name: Import a new trusted SSL certificate
Set up a trusted SSL certificate: "remote" is already there. Choose I want to purchase a trusted SSL certificate for the domain name.
Generate a certificate request: Copy
[get the cert from your provider]
A trusted SSL certificate reqeust is in progress...: I have the trusted SSL certificate information from my certificate provider
Import the trusted certificate: Copy and paste...
Repair as suggested in last pane
It's not clear to me if this is creating a new private key or reusing the old one. I guess it doesn't matter. Regardless, start Certificate Manager for the Computer and export the new cert to PFX with the private key. Also, I delete the previous year's certificate while in Certificate Manager. At least with SBS 08, if you didn't do that, it would keep putting warnings in the event log.

Renewals are essentially new certificates - you don't need to get hung up on the term 'renewal'
As long as the issuing authority is trusted - then it will be ok.

Lobster Risotto 2 Apr 2015, 9:32 am
|Lobster risotto
This recipe was presented by Lynn Archer from Archer's in Rockland.
Ingredients: serves 4-6 (possibly only 2 if you really like it)
2 lbs fresh Maine lobster (cooked and shelled)
1/2 stick butter
4 c cooked risotto (use whatever recipe you like but leave out the onions)
1 c shaved Parmesan
3 c half n half
2 c fresh spinach
1/2 c parsley
salt & pepper
Prepare the risotto the day before if you can. Melt 1/2 stick of butter (or olive oil, if you prefer) in a large, flat bottomed skillet. Add the already cooked risotto and stir over medium heat. Add half n half and parmesan, stirring continuously. When cheese is melted and risotto is warm, add lobster, parsley and salt & pepper to taste. Stir to warm lobster, then remove from heat.
Plate on bed of spinach.
It's easier for me to get lobster here than it may be for you where you are. This recipe also works well with scallops or shrimp.
Just stepping up on a little soapbox for a minute. Most (85+%) of our seafood in the US comes from other countries. Some of those countries do not follow best practices for harvesting and shipping their products or caring for the waters from which they are harvested. Please ask for seafood as locally harvested as is possible. Don't be shy about asking where the seafood in the display case was obtained (country of origin). And don't be shy about asking for your grocery store to buy local when they can.

Chocolate Pudding 11 Mar 2015, 11:57 am
|Chocolate pudding with puff pastry hearts
It doesn't have to be Valentine's Day to have chocolate pudding or puff pastry hearts! This is a simple recipe that takes a little longer than instant pudding, but not much. It does require a little patience as you have to watch and stir so the pudding doesn't burn.
Puff pastry (one sheet makes about 12 -16 hearts, depending on the size you cut them)
beaten egg for pastry wash
1 pint heavy cream (or 2 cups of any % of milk you like)
3 tbsp cornstarch
5 tbsp sugar
pinch salt
4 oz semi- or bittersweet chocolate chips
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
If you're organized you can start with the puff pastry hearts and then do the pudding while they're baking. If you're easily distracted, don't do them simultaneously. ;-)
Puff pastry hearts:
Take puff pastry out of freezer about an hour before you need it. Unwrap and let sit on counter to thaw out a bit. Preheat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the thawed pastry out and cut the hearts (or any shape) with a cookie cutter or knife. Place on parchment paper, brush with beaten egg and put in freezer for 5 minutes. Bake 10 -12 minutes until puffed and golden. Let cool. (Once cooled I popped them in a freezer bag to store until morning. They don't last long so don't make them days in advance.)
In a medium, flat-bottomed saucepan, combine cornstarch, sugar and salt. Slowly whisk in the milk/cream. Once the lumps are worked out you can pour faster. Over medium heat cook milk, stirring with a whisk to keep milk from burning on bottom. In 10 minutes or so the milk will be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add chocolate, keep stirring until pudding *suddenly* thickens up. (Seriously, it goes from liquid to pudding pretty quickly.) Remove from heat, stir in vanilla.
Pour quickly into a single bowl (if you can eat it all before anyone else gets home) or 4-6 pudding bowls (if you're planning to share).
If you don't like the pudding 'skin' that may form when you don't eat it right away (standing in front of the stove), press plastic wrap right down on the surface of the pudding. Put in fridge to cool.
We added a bit of whipped cream (gilding the lily) and some raspberries for color.

Crêpes 3 Feb 2015, 7:23 am
|crêpe with salsa
We're trying to master the art of the crêpe. They have to be thin enough to fold but not so thin they fall apart.
We have a crêpe machine now as the pan wasn't working out quite right. Couldn't get the wrist twist down.
|crêpe machine
Ingredients: Makes 8 sweet crêpes
2 eggs
1/2 c water
3 tbsp melted unsalted butter
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp sugar
1 c flour
3/4 c milk
Mix together first 6 ingredients. Then alternate adding flour and milk, mixing well. The batter will be thin. It should pour easily, not as thick as pancake batter.
If you are using a crêpe machine, follow their directions for temperature settings and cooking times.
For this recipe we are filling the crêpes with chunky cooked apples.
2 c diced tart apples
1 c water
1/2 c sugar
5 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tsp lemon juice
Cook apples and water over med heat for 10 minutes. Combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg together and add to cooking apples. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, add lemon juice. Keep warm until crêpes are made.
For multiple servings at a time, hot hold prepared crêpes in oven at 170 degrees, separated and stacked with baking paper between each set of crêpes. When ready to serve, place warm crêpe on plate, adding hot apple mixture quickly. Fold and continue until all crêpes are prepared.
Top with whipped cream, powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, etc. Whatever you like.
Apple mixture and crêpes can be made in advance and warmed in the morning.

Corn Bread Pudding Cake 7 Jan 2015, 10:29 amOK, strange name for what is essentially a very moist corn bread. It's not pudding. It's not cake. It is good! We first had this at Azure Cafe. This is not their recipe.
2 eggs
1 c sour cream or yogurt (use the full fat version)
1 can (15 or so oz) whole kernel corn, drained
1 can (14 or so oz) creamed corn
1/2 cup melted butter
1 tsp chili powder (optional)
1 8 oz pkg of corn muffin mix (this is the shortcut version, you can also start from scratch)
1/4 tsp paprika
Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in corn bread mix until wet, don't overmix. Pour into a greased 3 qt baking dish. Sprinkle with paprika.
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out dry.
Serves 12. We served it with the Tuscan Scrambled Eggs. Goes well with almost any egg dish, bbq, etc.
Sorry, no photos, Rock ate all the leftovers before I had a chance to get the camera!

Day Trip - Bustins Island 30 Aug 2014, 2:48 pm
Right off the coast of South Freeport lie several small, imaginatively named islands like Pound of Tea and Sow and Pigs. The largest inhabited island, Bustins, is completely seasonal. Residents and guests arrive during May and depart again in October. That's not to say the island isn't a happening place during those brief months! With its own Post Office (zip code 04013), store, library, community hall, golf course and sailing farmers market Bustins is a thriving summer community. (FMI and to find summer rentals or houses for sale, see the Bustins Island Community website.)
I hopped aboard the Lilly B, the island's ferry, with my friend Sue and we headed out to meet up with another friend for our weekly writing group. Always fun to combine work and pleasure!
The best time to head to the island is on the weekend when the Nature Center is open. As you can see in the map above, there is a road that goes around the island. It's an easy 2 miles walk along a dirt road. Stop along the way to take in the stunning views. It's best to bring along your own water bottles and snacks. Although this is not the wilderness, it's courteous to haul your trash away with you.
Enjoy the day in pictures...

Maine Solar System Model 27 Aug 2014, 11:46 am"To infinity and beyond!" we exclaimed as we drove south on Rt 1 in Presque Isle. Winter is long up in Aroostook County so folks have time to come up with some interesting ideas. Vodka made from potatoes. The Phantom snowmobile. A scale model solar system.
The vodka we can find right here in Freeport at Cold River Distillery. The Phantom snowmobile is a great idea but it's not for me. But a scale model solar system? OK, I'll give it a try.
We decided not to stop at UMPI (University of Maine Presque Isle) to see the sun. Finding the Science Building would not be difficult but we still had a long drive ahead of us to get back to Freeport from Edmundston, NB. Then, oops, we drove right by Mercury, but quickly pulled in at the Budget Traveler Motor Inn to view Venus. (We found the distances on the website to be a little off, but most of the planets are easy to find anyway.)
Next up was Earth - located at Percy's Auto Sales. Rock kept yelling out the car window at me to make sure I got the moon in the photos. Sorry, the moon is just too small and Rt 1 was just too busy for me to keep backing up to get the shot.
You'll notice that all the planets are tilted properly as well as being sized appropriately in comparison with each other. The entire drive from UMPI to Houlton is 40 miles. It's fun to be on the lookout for the next planet and realize it's that GIANT ball at the side of the road!
Driving along, this ditty popped into my head: Bend and stretch, reach for the stars. There goes Jupiter, there goes Mars. (OK, if you remember that, you are ancient like me! Romper Room. 50's TV show. They once called out my name for my birthday. I was in heaven. Thanks Mom.)
Along that line, we missed Mars. Drove right by it. We did, however, see the wind turbines at Mars Hill. Not quite the same thing but impressive nonetheless.
Saturn was very nicely taken care of. Lovely garden, benches to sit on, gorgeous view all around. Again, getting the moon in the photo was out of the question. Every model has a place to pull off the road. Don't park in traffic.
Uranus was so sad I'm going to skip the photo. It's located outside the unused old town hall in Bridgewater.
Next up, Neptune. Neptune was completely missing its sign. Still, it's hard to miss the planet by the side of the road.
The final stop on our solar system trek was at the Houlton Information Center. (You need travel info about Aroostook County? These folks have it! They also have limited info for NB as well.)
Although certain people no longer recognize Pluto as a planet, the folks at the info center proudly display their model in the entryway. Go inside for a brochure that gives you mileage and signposts for where to find all the planets and the sun. It's a fun way to explore with your kids and some of the model locations are a great place for a picnic.
Coming across the border from Canada, we asked the customs guy where to find the Four Corners Park in Madawaska, Maine. You can see it from the crossing, it's that close. If you do the Solar System Drive on a motorcycle, might as well keep going and stop at this park.
And, of course, we stopped to take a picture of Rock in front of the place his family started out. If you've heard the story you know his family were Acadians who were pushed off their lands and forced to settle in New Brunswick or New Orleans. (That's what the colorful sign is about - the recognition of the Acadian families.)

Monte Cristo Breakfast Sandwich 27 Aug 2014, 9:40 am
|Monte Cristo Breakfast Sandwich
Thin sliced ham (about 2 pieces per sandwich)
Thin sliced turkey (about 2 pieces per sandwich)
Thin sliced cheese, you want something with a kick that will melt nicely (2 pieces per sandwich)
Dijon mustard
Good toasting bread
2 large eggs per 2 sandwiches
Splash of heavy cream
Powdered sugar for garnish
Currant jelly (don't skip this, the jelly adds a nice tang)
Make the sandwiches:
Lay your bottom slice of bread on your clean work surface and spread on the mustard to taste. Add one slice of cheese, 2 slices of ham, 2 slices of turkey, another slice of cheese. Spread mustard on the top slice of bread and place that on top of your sandwich. Repeat until all the sandwiches are made.
Whisk your egg batter together.
Heat the griddle to about 325. Add butter to griddle. Dip just the top and bottom surface of the sandwiches in the egg batter, don't dredge! Place on hot griddle and cook until bread is browned on both sides and cheese is melted, about 4 minutes per side.
Cut, plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with currant jelly on the side. Would make interesting hors d'oeuvres as well. Cut off crusts after cooking, cut into 4 squares, skewer some dried cranberries on a toothpick and push thru layers.

We Be Jammin'! 31 Jul 2014, 1:00 pm
|Ripe strawberries fresh from the field
We can't always eat all of that bounty at once, try tho we might, so today we be jammin'. As in making jam. From scratch. Yup, me.
Not only making jam but picking the berries, too. Drove out to the farm in the morning and scored 13 lbs of berries in about 20 minutes with help from some kids who were having a lot of fun but who filled up their moms' baskets way too fast.
Before you even get the berries, tho, get your supplies in order! Jars (these are pint size), lids and rings, jar gripper, funnel, ladle, spoon, bowl, tongs, clean dish towel and your canning pot. You can reuse jars but make sure there are NO chips or cracks in them. Buy new lids and rings. The first time you try to pry one of these open you'll understand why.
Next you're going to want some time. This is not something you squeeze in between soccer and band practice.
2 quarts (8 cups) crushed strawberries (crush, then measure)
5-6 c sugar depending on how ripe the strawberries are. Back off on the sugar if the strawberries are really ripe.
You can add a tbsp of lemon juice to cut the sugar, if you want.
Do NOT double up the recipe. You'll come to grief.
Directions: You'll want to do this as soon as possible after picking. Local berries are built for taste, not longevity.
Prep the strawberries. Wash berries and take the tops off. Discard any beat up berries; you only want the best for your jam. (Eat the ugly ones.) Crush the berries with a potato masher. Repeat until you have 8 cups.
Start your water boiling in your water bath. You'll end up turning this off but it won't take that long to heat up later on when you need it right away. If you have a pot like the one I used, fill to the line closest to the top. The water has to cover the tops of the jars.
Set your berry pan on the stove and pour in the berries and the sugar.
Turn the heat up to medium and start cooking! Within the first 10 minutes the mixture may boil over if the heat is too high. Once you've stirred it down a few times you can raise the heat to get a good rolling boil.
You will need to skim off the foam that forms. I'd use this on vanilla ice cream later on! The more foam you skim the fewer air bubbles you'll have in the finished product.
While this is cooking away (about 40 minutes) use the time to sterilize the jars, lids and funnel by putting them in the boiling water in your water bath. (Use the tongs!) Remove the jars and lids and place upright on a clean towel. DO NOT TOUCH THE INSIDES OF THE JARS OR LIDS. Keep those germs away!
First time you do this you will wonder how you know the strawberries have cooked enough. This is where old movies come in handy. Really old movies. Your boiling jam will start to sound like the noises from old swamp thing movies. Bloop, bloop, bloop. The next thing that happens is a bubble will burst and splatter jam all over the stove. You be jammin'! (OK, you want more scientific than old swamp thing movies? You can put a small plate in the freezer. When you think the jam is done, take the plate out. Pour a little jam on the plate. Turn the plate so the jam runs off. If it doesn't run, the jam is done. I like the bloop, bloop, bloop better, but that's me.)
|Bubbles start to look like this right before it's ready to can.
Using the jar gripper, move a hot jar close to the pan. (Remember: hot foods into hot jars.) Pop in the funnel and ladle in the jam until it is about 1/4" below the rim of the jar. Remove funnel and move to the next jar, working quickly. Your water bath should be boiling at this point.
When your jars are full (8 cups filled 4 pint jars), make sure the top edges of the jars are clean before you put the caps on (wipe with a damp paper towel if there are jammy bits)then screw on the rings (not tightly). Pick the jars up with the jar grippers and place in the basket in the water bath. (Alternate sides when putting the jars in. If you load up on one side, the whole thing tips into the water bath. No, I did not actually do that myself, but I came close!)
When all the jars are in the basket, lower gently into the bath, cover and boil for 15 minutes. With grippers, remove jars immediately and place on towel. Listen for popping noises. That's the sound of the vacuum forming and sealing the jars. You can tighten the rings after that happens. If you can push down on the lid and it flexes, you did not get a good seal. This jam cannot be stored for later use.
Cool and then label the jars and store in a cool location. They don't have to be refrigerated until opened.
Want to make more? The best book out there is the Ball Blue Book. Try to get the old one. The newer ones use 'products' instead of just fresh produce, spices and sugar.
(Do I have to say: Caution, contents are hot? I hope not. You're a smart cookie!)

Gay marriage debate complicates SF mayor's future
SACRAMENTO, Calif. San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom has been linked to gay marriage ever since he directed city clerks to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples in 2004. Now he's running for governor and trying to broaden his appeal, but fate appears to be working against him.
The state Supreme Court's decision to uphold California's constitutional ban on gay marriage – and the prospect that an impassioned initiative to overturn it could share the ballot with next year's governor's race – holds consequences for candidates from both parties, but especially for the one most deeply associated with the issue.
The intensity of a statewide vote on same-sex marriage could make it difficult for Newsom to connect with centrist voters, millions of whom voted no on the issue last year.
"It certainly underlines Gavin Newsom's previous advocacy for same-sex marriage. I think that might be a two-edged sword for him," said Mark DiCamillo, director of the San Francisco-based Field Poll.
Other possible Democratic contenders including Attorney General Jerry Brown, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Lt. Gov. John Garamendi also support same-sex marriage. So does one of the three leading Republican hopefuls, former U.S. Rep. Tom Campbell, but former eBay chief executive Meg Whitman and state Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner oppose it.
GOP Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger cannot run for re-election next year because of term limits.
Despite their liberal image, California voters have told pollsters repeatedly that they are divided over gay marriage. Even as they handed Democrat Barack Obama a 24-point win last November over Republican John McCain, they voted 52 percent in favor of Proposition 8, which overturned a state Supreme Court ruling earlier in the year that made same-sex weddings legal.
"If (Newsom) were to be the nominee, it would dominate the mainstream, the thinking of most voters, especially those outside the party who may not hold as sympathetic a perception of gay marriage," DiCamillo said.
Two groups, Equality California and the Courage Campaign, are beginning to coalesce behind a 2010 initiative rather than waiting until 2012. They are targeting the same demographics Newsom will have to win, starting with voters in the Central Valley, one of California's most conservative regions.
The area was largely ignored during the failed 2008 campaign against Proposition 8 and is among the regions where Newsom has the least support. Nearly 69 percent of Fresno County voters favored Proposition 8.
Newsom already has been touring the valley and stopping in other moderate to conservative areas, such as San Diego, in a bid to expand his appeal outside the San Francisco Bay area.
During an April town-hall-style event in Fresno, Newsom joked about newspaper editorials that questioned his bid for governor.
"They all said, 'Good luck when you go to Fresno.' The issue of marriage equality ... you can't win. The state rejects it," Newsom said. "I didn't do it because I waited for a public opinion poll to decide what my values were. I said I'm open to argument, always, but I believe in equality."
