Explosive growth in connected devices. Enormous amounts of data for collection and analysis. Critical use of data for split-second decision making and actionable information. All three are factors in making the Internet of Things a reality. Yet, any one factor would have an IT organization pondering its infrastructure strategy. How should your organization enhance its IT framework to enable an Internet of Things implementation? In his session at @ThingsExpo, James Kirkland, Red Hat's Chief Arch...

Containers have changed the mind of IT in DevOps. They enable developers to work with dev, test, stage and production environments identically. Containers provide the right abstraction for microservices and many cloud platforms have integrated them into deployment pipelines. DevOps and Containers together help companies to achieve their business goals faster and more effectively. In his session at DevOps Summit, Ruslan Synytsky, CEO and Co-founder of Jelastic, reviewed the current landscape of...

Overgrown applications have given way to modular applications, driven by the need to break larger problems into smaller problems. Similarly large monolithic development processes have been forced to be broken into smaller agile development cycles. Looking at trends in software development, microservices architectures meet the same demands. Additional benefits of microservices architectures are compartmentalization and a limited impact of service failure versus a complete software malfunction. ...

Manufacturing has widely adopted standardized and automated processes to create designs, build them, and maintain them through their life cycle. However, many modern manufacturing systems go beyond mechanized workflows to introduce empowered workers, flexible collaboration, and rapid iteration. Such behaviors also characterize open source software development and are at the heart of DevOps culture, processes, and tooling.

Conferences agendas. Event navigation. Specific tasks, like buying a house or getting a car loan. If you've installed an app for any of these things you've installed what's known as a "disposable mobile app" or DMA. Apps designed for a single use-case and with the expectation they'll be "thrown away" like brochures. Deleted until needed again. These apps are necessarily small, agile and highly volatile. Sometimes existing only for a short time - say to support an event like an election, the Wor...

The cloud has transformed how we think about software quality. Instead of preventing failures, we must focus on automatic recovery from failure. In other words, resilience trumps traditional quality measures. Continuous delivery models further squeeze traditional notions of quality. Remember the venerable project management Iron Triangle? Among time, scope, and cost, you can only fix two or quality will suffer. Only in today's DevOps world, continuous testing, integration, and deployment upend...

Sharding has become a popular means of achieving scalability in application architectures in which read/write data separation is not only possible, but desirable to achieve new heights of concurrency. The premise is that by splitting up read and write duties, it is possible to get better overall performance at the cost of a slight delay in consistency. That is, it takes a bit of time to replicate changes initiated by a "write" to the read-only master database. It's eventually consistent, and it'...

The most often asked question post-DevOps introduction is: "How do I get started?" There's plenty of information on why DevOps is valid and important, but many managers still struggle with simple basics for how to initiate a DevOps program in their business. They struggle with issues related to current organizational inertia, the lack of experience on Continuous Integration/Delivery, understanding where DevOps will affect revenue and budget, etc. In their session at DevOps Summit, JP Morgenthal...

Data center models are changing. A variety of technical trends and business demands are forcing that change, most of them centered on the explosive growth of applications. That means, in turn, that the requirements for application delivery are changing. Certainly application delivery needs to be agile, not waterfall. It needs to deliver services in hours, not weeks or months. It needs to be more cost efficient. And more than anything else, it needs to be really, dc infra axisreally, super focus...

DevOps tends to focus on the relationship between Dev and Ops, putting an emphasis on the ops and application infrastructure. But that's changing with microservices architectures. In her session at DevOps Summit, Lori MacVittie, Evangelist for F5 Networks, will focus on how microservices are changing the underlying architectures needed to scale, secure and deliver applications based on highly distributed (micro) services and why that means an expansion into "the network" for DevOps.

Many people recognize DevOps as an enormous benefit – faster application deployment, automated toolchains, support of more granular updates, better cooperation across groups. However, less appreciated is the journey enterprise IT groups need to make to achieve this outcome. The plain fact is that established IT processes reflect a very different set of goals: stability, infrequent change, hands-on administration, and alignment with ITIL. So how does an enterprise IT organization implement change...

While DevOps most critically and famously fosters collaboration, communication, and integration through cultural change, culture is more of an output than an input.

Good thing the Reds are not re-negotiating their TV contract this year...
Good thing the Reds are not re-negotiating their TV contract this year...
Mat latos is not very good! Ace? Nope.
Epic fail
How bad are the Reds right now? Thom is discussing the Bengals released last night schedule.
Must be Dusty's fault.
Wow. Beltran is crushing the Reds. Down 5-0 in the 2nd.
Can we please start playing the Pirates or something?
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
There are so many glaring problems with this squad it almost seems white flag time.
48 pitches to get six outs for Latos. And a 5-run deficit.
Beltran...3 for 3 lifetime versus Latos. 3 bombs. *shudders*
94 and winning the division and the NLCS but falling in the WS to Toronto in 6
94 Reds / 86 Cards / 85 Pirates / 76 Cubs / 72 Brewers
Not Walt's fault.
Not Dusty's fault.
Not the players' fault.
Not BobC's fault.
I guess its hot dog vendor #3's fault. That guy needs to go.

Anne Hathaway To Donate Proceeds From Wedding Pics For Marriage Equality
It looks like we'll finally get to see all the details from Anne Hathaway's September wedding to hubby Adam Schulman, and it's for a good cause! The marriage equality organization Freedom To Marry recently reported that Anne plans to donate a part of the proceeds from the sale of her wedding photos to the organization.
Hathaway joins the ranks of other A List celebs who have used their own wedding as a forum for promoting marriage equality like Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Brad Pitt who famously told Esquire in 2006, "Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able" (so far they've stood by that!).
Anne has been an advocate for the LGBT community and has spoken publicly about her gay brother. In 2008 Anne was awarded the Human Rights Campaign's Ally Award.
It's great to see celebs like Anne Hathaway using their popularity and influence to make a change, and you can too!

When we first spotted David Daniels' '72 F-body, we almost dismissed it as simply a mild street machine. After taking a closer look at the giant meats and 700hp small-block, we reconsidered. After all, the Super Chevy Shows are a haven for early muscle.
Dave's '72 represents what we think is the gray area for a street sleeper. No wild green paint, no pink interior, but one heck of a loud motor. If the thumpy cam isn't a tip off, go ahead and run with Dave, but you'll probably lose.
Dave's F-body began as most projects do, as a work in progress. As his work in progress turned into a full-blown restoration so did his attention to performance. With the '72 stripped into pieces the only prerequisite was that his machine had to have the Pro Street influence while still maintaining the stock exterior look. Pro Street machines in general often lack the comforts of a nice plush interior, stereo and A/C. Dave wanted something different, a Pro Street look with the conveniences of a modern-day Camaro or Vette. His transformation was made that much easier purely by his line of work as a custom interior fabricator.
With the engine, tranny, and rearend out of the car, Dave tore the entire suspension into pieces in preparation for the Chassisworks rearend and modified stock front end. In the front the bushings, tie-rod ends and control arms were reinstalled to OE specs. To make launching a bit more fun, Dave installed Koni drag shocks and SSBC 10-inch disc brakes. In the back, a similar set of shocks and brakes were also utilized. In order to take the abuse of a big-inch small-block a Moser 12-bolt rearend was installed with 3.55 gears and Posi. In the engine department a built 406 was assembled and topped with 200 hp of squeeze for Friday night drags. With this kind of power there was only one tranny choice, the trusty GM Turbo 400. With a bulletproof driveline such as this, burnouts, Friday night drags and the occasional jaunt to the grocery store pose little threat to Dave's '72 street machine.
With the mechanicals out of the way it was time to go to Dave's real forte, aesthetics. The body was stripped down to bare metal and straightened. After numerous blockings the '72 was blown apart, sprayed, sanded, polished and awaiting its new Classic Industries trim.
Having serviced the hot rod business for many years as an interior fabricator, Dave finally had the opportunity to let his own ideas run rampant. With comfort as a primary issue Fourth-Gen Camaro buckets covered with custom leather made their was into the cockpit of the '72. The late-model buckets were accented by Cyberdine gauges and Kenwood audio equipment.
While we have no solid proof that Dave's lil' street machine is a sub 12-second machine the burnout seen on this month's cover is a good hint to its potential.

For 49p in a charity shop today I got the 1997 SFX Discworld Special.
It's just over 70 pages of Pratchetty goodness, mainly focussing, though on the cartoons and a large interview with PTerry.
Only thing missing from it is the double-sided poster of A'Tuin and the Maskarade cover art.
Can't wait to get stuck in to it, it talks about the proposed Mort film that was in the pipeline at the time and shows some concept art from the abandoned Reaper Man cartoon.
*I wonder if Mad has this in his arsenal.*

Product Information
Cat's In the Cradle by Harry Chapin - Digital Sheet Music (Easy Piano)
At a Glance
Harry Chapin's career as a popular singer/songwriter was cut short by an auto accident in 1981, yet he left behind a series of recordings that his fans continue to treasure decades after his death. Chapin was never a critically acclaimed singer/songwriter. Chapin earned a devoted audience during the '70s, through his music and his charity work as a social activist. Cat's In the Cradle is perhaps his most famous, endearing and enduring chestnut.

I was asked by my pastor to actually perform this song in church. It was used as part of the message. I had always enjoyed this song. The message of this song is try to take time for your family and the important things and everything else will fall into place. So secular songs can really be used to get a meassage accross in chuerch. I grew up in the same era as the artist of this song Harry Chapin. He had many great songs, too. I enjoyed doing this song. I played my ovation 12 string acoustic guitar on this song.

My middle school guitar class loves this song and arrangement. It works very well for beginners and intermediate groups.

My Favorite Mindstorms NXT robot (so far...)
Because it looks like it can be fun to chase the cat or dog with... look at those front claws... it might even be fun to put under the bed and let it rush at my wife's ankles when she gets up in the morning (of course, I'll be sleeping on the sofa the next night).
The thing just looks mischievous. I can't wait to program it for various attack scenarios.
And then, of course, there's programming it for sound - barking when chasing the cat, maybe?

I hope you get into the NXT developer program. I quite enjoy reading your blog. If you dont receive it, it wont be much of an incentive to continue. Likewise, many potential developers will be discouraged if they were not selected to part of the development.
Hope to have many great reading ahead.

you know something .. ever since I was young, I was fancinated with lego building... anything ..from building streets... to lego mindstorm building robots... Today... technology advances...and it no longer just buidling blocks. it has labview... CMU is helping it with software... I only love building lego... still I am fancinated with the NXT launch...
But seriously, I cant explain why I am so enthusastic with Lego... is it becos I can act out my fantasy, buiding spaceships....
Jum being a lego advocate, can you help explain what made lego mindstorm a success? What is it that make us go ga-ga over it?
What keep my children saying.. yes this is the toy of today, not a antique of my father's.

I appreciate the kind comments and thank you for the support. I started this blog for different reasons, but mainly I just wanted a place to keep everything in one place, easy to find again. I'm glad others are finding it useful.
I email Filip (bnxt.com) frequently and we exchange suggestions and news and such... we both enjoy looking for NXT items of interest and have a lot of plans for when we get our hands on the system.
Now, to answer a question here: What has made mindstorms such a success?
I can't speak from the LEGO side, because I'm not affiliated with the company. There are probably financial reasons for its success (being one of the lower-cost robot kits on the market) and ease-of-use reasons (come on, it's LEGO blocks!). I think the support from LEGo for the 3rd-party developers to create and sell add-ons has helped. Software developers have created numerous programming environments for the RCX brick - this has helped keep the advanced users happy by adding even more functionality.
Competitions such as FLL (FIRST Lego League) let kids see how technology can be used to solve problems - plus its just plain FUN!
All in all, I see Mindstorms NXT being extremely popular for these reasons, too. LEGO has the history of the RCX to build on - 3rd party dev's, FLL, fan clubs, blogs, software options, easy-to-use, and still very fun.
Thank you all for your comments. If you have any ideas for the blog, let me know.

ROCKFORD, Ill.---The Chicago Wolves scored three times in the second period to build a 3-2 lead but the Rockford IceHogs notched two third-period goals and skated away with a 4-3 Illinois Lottery Cup victory Friday night at the Rockford MetroCentre.
Forwards Nicklas Jensen, Andrew Gordon, and Darren Archibald potted tallies for the Wolves, who fell for the fourth time in their last five outings.
Chicago (29-20-5-4) took a 3-2 lead into the second intermission but relinquished its advantage 5:45 into the third period. IceHogs defenseman Adam Clendening's shot hit off the back-boards, bounced to center Brandon Pirri who's shot slid through the crease but bounced off center Brad Mills who was laying in the blue paint and past Wolves goaltender Joe Cannata.
Rockford (31-27-1-1) grabbed the short-handed game-winner when Pirri and left wing Jeremy Morin entered the Wolves zone on a two-on-one rush and Morin tapped home a Pirri pass with 2:36 remaining in regulation.
The IceHogs opened scoring at the 15:16 mark of the first period when left wing Terry Broadhurst scooped up a loose puck in the slot and snapped a shot over the blocker of Cannata.
The Wolves knotted the score at one with a power-play strike 34 seconds into the second period. Left wing Bill Sweatt found Jensen in the near circle and Jensen buried a shot past the outstretch glove of Rockford goaltender Henrik Karlsson.
Gordon put Chicago up 2-1 when he banked a shot from behind the goal line off the back of Karlsson and into the net at 8:39 of the middle frame.
Rockford drew even with Chicago at two just over four minutes later when it moved the puck from high to low and center Martin St. Pierre sent a quick pass through the slot and where Morin was waiting and Cannata had no chance to stop the puck before it entered the six-by-four frame.
Cannata (6-4-0) recorded 25 saves.
The Wolves would inch ahead 3-2 with 1:02 remaining in the second when Archibald banged home a rebound past Karlsson.
Karlsson (5-3-0) posted 26 saves on 29 shots.

Earth was hit by gamma ray burst from space in eighth century, say scientists
Earth was blasted by a high-energy burst of radiation from space in the eighth century, scientists believe.
Luckily for the human race, the source of the gamma ray burst (GRB) was at least 3,000 light years away.
At closer range the radiation could have stripped away the Earth's ozone layer, leading to the extinction of terrestrial life.
Gamma ray bursts are the most powerful explosions known in the universe. Each one corresponds to around a thousand Earths being vaporised into pure energy in seconds.
Most occur billions of light years away, and until the last decade their origin remained a cosmological mystery.
The GRB that struck the Earth towards the end of the eighth century may have been triggered by the cataclysmic collision of two black holes or neutron stars.
Both are dead star remnants. A neutron star is the super-dense core of a burned out star, and a black hole is a region of space where matter has collapsed to the point where even light is trapped by gravity.
Scientists found a chemical signature of the GRB in tree rings and Antarctic ice cores dating back to the year 775.
High levels of particular isotopes, or atomic strains, of carbon and beryllium were detected that form when high-intensity radiation bombards nitrogen in the atmosphere.
A solar flare would not have produced a strong enough blast of radiation to account for the excess levels of one isotope, carbon-14, found in Japanese cedar trees.
Large flares would also have produced dramatic displays of the northern and southern lights, but there is no evidence of such phenomena in historical records.
Nor is there any record of another possible source of the radiation - a nearby supernova, or exploding star. This would have created a bright light in the sky that at the time would almost certainly have been seen as an omen or religious sign.
Dr Ralph Neuhauser, from the University of Jena in Germany, whose theory about the GRB is reported in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, said: "If the gamma ray burst had been much closer to the Earth it would have caused significant harm to the biosphere. But even thousands of light years away, a similar event today could cause havoc with the sensitive electronic systems that advanced societies have come to depend on.
"The challenge now is to establish how rare such carbon-14 spikes are - ie, how often such radiation bursts hit the Earth."
The evidence suggests that the gamma ray burst occurred somewhere in our galaxy, the Milky Way, between 3,000 and 12,000 light years from the Sun.
A relatively nearby GRB would have emitted some visible light that could have been seen for a few days.
It may have easily been missed, but the scientists suggest looking through historical texts in case any reference to the short-lived event can be found.

Not only am I experiencing the problem, but I have a secondary problem...
If I go into that link, it sends me to the main blogger page and somehow logs me out of google. At that point I have to re-log into blogger, gmail, etc if I have multiple tabs open.
I noticed this the other day but don't think I got to write to you about it. Also it has happened to me on different computers in different locations. Maybe just delete the gadget and re-set it again?

|Glory Bee wearing her stylish "calf weaner"
This month, Suzanne is back in the cheese making saddle again. She's getting serious about her cheese and Glory Bee is getting seriously weaned. (She's over 1 year old, for crying out load! It's hard on her mother's udder.) More about this at the chickens in the road website in the Barn section.
As usual, Suzanne is having a giveaway and this month it is one of our Deluxe Basic Cheesemaking Sets (which includes our Basic Hard Cheese Kit, a pound of red wax and a wax brush) so, click here for details.
The Joy of Lactic Cheese
By Suzanne McMinn
My top 10 ways to use lactic cheese:
1. In place of ricotta in lasagna.
2. Spread on pizza in place of mozzarella.
3. On bagels or toast.
4. In place of cream cheese in cheesecake.
5. In dressings and dips of all kinds.
6. In burritos or enchiladas (in place of or in addition to other cheeses).
7. In veggie roll-ups.
8. Dolloped on top of green salads.
9. Mixed into potato salads or egg salads.
10. Slathered on top of burgers.
In fact, it's hard to think of a way you can't use lactic cheese. It's the cheese of cheeses! I also use lactic cheese as the base for homemade Velveeta. Lactic cheese is even delicious simply served on a plate drizzled with olive oil and an herb garnish. Dig in with some good crackers!
Lactic cheese is one of the easiest, and most versatile, of the soft cheeses, and it delivers an incredible yield on just one gallon of milk. "Lactic" means milk, and that's what it is, an ingeniously simple milk cheese. It looks and acts like cream cheese, but without any cream, leaving the cream for butter, whipped cream, coffee cream, and other delectable purposes. It's also one of the most forgiving recipes I've ever used, which has made it a big favorite here. I can neglect it mercilessly while it's in the making, which suits my schedule just fine. For my cheese challenge for New England Cheesemaking this month, I'm bringing you lactic cheese and a few of my favorite lactic cheese-inspired recipes and ideas. This is a perfect cheese for beginning cheesemakers. If you haven't given it a try yet, you must!
Lactic cheese can be stored in the fridge for a couple of weeks, but for long-term storage I freeze it. I press the cheese into 8-ounce Ziploc containers.
After it freezes, I remove the cheese from the container and slip it into a sandwich baggie. I can then store about eight 8-ounce lactic cheese blocks in one 1-gallon freezer baggie. When I need some cheese, I remove one (or more) blocks of lactic cheese, defrost, and use. It freezes wonderfully.
This recipe comes from Ricki Carroll at New England Cheesemaking.
*A note about the diluted rennet: It sometimes feels wasteful to use but 1 teaspoon of the diluted rennet. Often when I am on a lactic cheese binge, making it several times in a row to store for later use, I will save over the diluted rennet to re-use multiple times. I've found I can store it in the fridge (in a 1-ounce container with a lid) for one to two weeks and it is fine. The diluted rennet will lose its strength after a while, so just beware if you do that. It's okay to save it over to continue to use, but you can't save it over forever.
(Note: This only applies for this cheese. You can't expect it to work for any others, so we don't want you to be disappointed! We recommend using rennet within 15 minutes of diluting it.)
How to make Lactic Cheese:
1 gallon whole or skimmed milk
1 packet direct-set mesophilic starter
3 drops liquid rennet diluted in 1/3 cup cool unchlorinated water
cheese salt (optional)
1. Heat the milk to 86 degrees (F). Add the starter and mix thoroughly.
2. Add 1 teaspoon of the diluted rennet and stir gently with an up-and-down motion. Cover and let set, undisturbed, for 12 hours, or until a solid curd forms.
Sometimes I let it sit in the pot for 18 hours. Or 24 hours. Because I'm busy. Or I don't feel like it. Or I'm just plain lazy. Lactic cheese WAITS. Lactic cheese is patient, lactic cheese is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Lactic cheese does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres!
And when you are ready, it is ready! Patient lactic cheese curd pulling away from the sides of the pot:
The curd will look like yogurt.
3. Gently ladle the curd into a colander lined with butter muslin. I also use disposable cheesecloth for lactic cheese with no problem.
Tie the corners of the muslin into a knot and hang the bag to drain for 6-12 hours, or until the cheese reaches the desired consistency. A room temperature of at least 72 degrees will encourage proper drainage. If you hang it on the low side, 4-6 hours, the consistency is lighter and creamier, and the yield is higher.
When I'm preparing soft cheeses to hang, I set up the bowl with the cheese to one side of my sink. I set the colander in the sink in the middle and to the right, I set my hanging bucket. I have a small (3-gallon) bucket now that I use just for hanging soft cheeses. It's a handy size, and if my kitchen isn't busy, I just leave it sitting in the sink while the cheese is draining.
Usually, I'm about to have something else going on in my sink, so I move it off to the counter, or sometimes I even set it on the floor out of the way.
A bucket with a handle is very handy. It also has a pour spout so I can easily pour whey off as needed.
4. Place the curds in a bowl and add the salt to taste, if desired.
I usually don't add salt at this point because I'll go on to use the cheese in other recipes. Lactic cheese is creamy yet light, almost "fluffy" in consistency.
5. Store in a covered bowl in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. (As I described above, if I don't use it right away, I freeze it in 8-ounce blocks.)
Yield: About 2 pounds (or slightly more).
And here are some of my recipes using lactic cheese–I can make all of these recipes from just one setting of lactic cheese.
Fresh Cheese & Chervil Dressing or Dip:
1 cup milk
1 cup lactic cheese
1 tablespoon fresh or 1 teaspoon dried chervil
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
Combine all ingredients; mix well. Makes approximately 2 cups dressing. Serve over salads or use as a dip for fresh vegetables. Keep refrigerated. Parsley can be substituted for the chervil.
This is a simple but addictive dressing!
Grandmother Bread with Fresh Cheese:
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 teaspoon yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup lactic cheese
3 1/2 cups flour
In a large bowl, combine water, yeast, sugar, and salt. Let sit five minutes. Mix in the lactic cheese. Stir in the first cup of flour with a heavy spoon. Add more flour, a little at a time as needed, stirring until dough becomes too stiff to continue stirring easily. Add a little more flour and begin kneading. The amount of flour is approximate–-your mileage may vary! Continue adding flour and kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic. Let dough rise in a greased, covered bowl until doubled. (Usually, about an hour.) Uncover bowl; sprinkle in a little more flour and knead again. With floured hands, shape dough and place in a greased loaf pan. Cover, and let rise for 30-60 minutes. Bake for 25 minutes in a preheated 350-degree oven. Can also be made as dinner rolls–divide into 12-15 rolls, place on greased pan, let rise and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until browned.
This makes a rich but light bread.
Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie:
2 cups lactic cheese
2 cups pumpkin (or butternut or cushaw) puree
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
3 eggs
2 tablespoons bourbon (optional)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
pastry for single-crust pie
crushed graham crackers
Pumpkin (and other winter squash) puree, especially homemade, has a lot of water in it. I measure and press until I have 2 cups pressed puree. Too much water in your puree will interfere with setting your cheesecake.
Combine first 8 ingredients in a medium-size bowl; beat with electric mixer. Spoon into prepared pie crust. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the top. (It just takes a couple of graham crackers to crush enough.) Bake on lower rack of oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 350 and bake another 30-35 minutes until filling is firm and knife or toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Chill before serving.
A deliciously different pumpkin recipe for the holidays, or any time!

Two Killington department budgets up double digitsBy Cristina Kumka
STAFF WRITER | November 26,2012KILLINGTON The three-man Select Board will hear from Second Constable Whit Montgomery Tuesday on his requested 21 percent budget increase for town police services in 2013, as well as fire officials, who also have a budget increase in the double digits for the volunteer department.
Employee health benefits, which are expected to cost the town 4 percent less, and projected 2 percent cost of living increases for town employees, will also be discussed.
The total 2013 town budget is up 2 percent, or $87,639, for a total spending plan of $3,846,128.
The presentations by department heads have been a growing tradition of the board over the last three budget seasons as they attempt to decide what needs to stay and what needs to go in specific spending plans.
The board has not revealed specific budget goals.
But all three members have agreed that special events and marketing are more of a town function than a designated department and those costs have been spread to other town departments.
Town Manager Seth Webb is proposing to reconfigure the health care plan for town employees which would also curb the costs to the town.
At a recent meeting, Webb said employees didnt see much of their 2.2 percent average increase in base pay for cost of living adjustments in 2011 because they had to start paying 25 percent of their deductible health insurance costs.
Webb is now weighing Social Security and new municipal health care mandates in the plan he will present Tuesday at the boards regular meeting at 7:30 p.m. in the town offices.
Members of the Killington Fire & Rescue are also expected to ask for a 33 percent increase in their budget compared to this year, with the largest reported increases in insurance, new equipment and an additional $75,000 in capital reserve funds.
The increase amounts to $91,800 more than in 2012, for a total fire budget of $368,437.
Selectman Jim Haff recently proposed contracting with the department for their services for the first time, to lay out specific duties and cost.
Haff told the board last week that he would check with the Vermont League of Cities & Towns for the legality behind it.
The constable budget is up 21 percent, or $14,050, for a total of $79,500.
The largest increase is in salaries and wages, up more than $8,000, and a new $9,000 capital expense for police cruisers.

|Passover Chremslach
from Jewish Cooking in America by Joan Nathan
My father was from a Reform Jewish family from Germany. My mother was from a more traditional Jewish family. Early on he said, "I will make a Seder if you will make chremslach." Every year, there was a Seder. And every year, there were chremslach. Now, it's the last thing I do, but I always do it. My father has died and it gives me time to think about him. This is an updated version of the chremslach passed down in my family. I have never had a Seder without it and I always make extras to serve for breakfast the next morning.
3 matzahs, soaked and squeezed very dry
Mix together the matzahs, currants, almonds, apricots, egg yolks, matzah meal, sugar, lemon rind, and lemon juice.
Beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold into the matzah mixture, adding matzah meal to make the mixture hold together.
Using an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat about 2 inches of oil to 375 degrees. Drop the mixture by tablespoons and brown a few minutes on each side until they are crisp. Cook only about three at a time. Drain well on paper. Serve at room temperature or crisped up in the oven. The fritters are especially delicious with stewed prunes with orange juice as an accompaniment, if desired.
Note: You can make these in the morning, drain on paper, leave out all day, and crisp in the oven just before serving.
Yield: about 2 dozen

If "MythBusters" ever finds itself running low on ideas, it can always trek down to San Diego.
America's Finest City? Perhaps. But it's been one of America's fussiest lately, too.
The story goes that the 619 is home to the most laid-back populace in the country — people whose pulse rates never rise above the temperature.
It's all lies, though. San Diegans may seldom see triple-degree weather, but they have no trouble getting hot.
Take, for example, the town's principal professional sports teams — the Padres and the Chargers. We are one game into one season, five months away from the other, and the cries are still louder than airplanes over Little Italy.
"They can't draft and don't spend any money on free agents. People need to stop going to games," squawked one commenter online about the Friars.
"Nothing like taking it slow and letting top free agents sign with other teams … looks like another long year ahead," screeched another about the Bolts.
Hey, we all know that Rome wasn't built in a day — but that would have been far less ambitious than fixing the Chargers or Padres. So some folks need to amble down to PB, grab a margarita and relax. These things take time.
This message, of course, is not directed at you. You are the logical, rational one of the group. It's your boss, landlord and cat-collecting neighbor that need to have their anger anesthetized.
Don't worry, though. Here's what you say to calm them down.
You tell them that teams that rush to sign big names one year generally have a ton of time to think about it the next. Why? Because they're not in the playoffs.
Instead, they are the Raiders, who relinquished two key draft picks in 2011 for Carson Palmer, who ended up 8-15 while under center in Oakland. Instead, they are the Redskins, who gave Albert Haynesworth $100 million, Donovan McNabb $78 million, and wondered if each was about six zeros too many. Instead, they are the team full of familiar faces who can buy anything they want in life.
Except, of course, a win.
Charles Barkley may have put it most humorously when he said he was going to fire his mother for having him too early. After all, he never made more than $5 million in a season during his prime, but has since watched Rashard Lewis — mediocrity's finest — ink a six-year, $118 million deal.
Sure, Lewis can thank the players' union for such an exorbitant sum, but he can also thank panic. Good organizations rebuild. Bad ones find shiny objects to distract from the mess.
What was the flashiest thing about the 2012 San Francisco Giants, who lost their best hitter (Melky Cabrera), watched their former ace (Tim Lincecum) become a four of clubs, and still went on to win the World Series? When have the New England Patriots — the NFL's most successful franchise this millennium — ever put stars above system?
When, in sports, did patience morph from virtue to vice?

Has anyone seen The Soloist yet? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_Spu2nO0jw
I've just seen it yesterday, and I was shocked. Not only is it a great movie (I think Jamie Foxx does great here), but It's also a true story. So true that the people who it is about (Nathaniel Ayers and Steve Lopez) are still alive and well, and even assisted by the making of the movie.
The story is about a journalist (Steve Lopez - Robert Downey Jr.) who's looking for a good story, and finds a homeless guy, who is playing violin with only two strings and it turns out that the guy (Nathaniel Ayers - Jamie Foxx) was a Juiliard student, but quitted, because he suffers of scizofrenia.
It's not a happy-ending story (don't like the pink-clowd-hollywood-mass-movies), but it's real... it gives you a good view of the life of 90 000 homeless people living in L.A.
It's one of the best movies I've seen... well, lately...
All I wanted to say is: I liked it very much, so when you have the opportunity to watch it, it's worth it, really!
Ps: you can find a lot of video's concerning Natheniel on youtube, just type his name... if you're interested...

Vector Borne Illness Prevention Program: Mosquito Information & Prevention
The Asian Tiger Mosquito (Aedes albopictus) is the number one nuisance species found in the city. It is a black mosquito with striking white markings on its body and legs. The Asian Tiger Mosquito is a very aggressive day biting mosquito. They prefer to bite humans and breed in artificial containers, such as tires, buckets, flowerpots, and corrugated drainpipes, that hold water for five days or more. They do not travel far from their breeding site and rest anywhere it is cool, humid and shady. Ivy and azaleas or other bushes are among their favorite resting places. The Asian Tiger Mosquito can transmit West Nile virus, but they are not very good at it. (photo courtesy of Sean McCann. © 2006)
Culex mosquitoes (Culex pipiens and Culex restuans) are the most important mosquitoes in the West Nile virus transmission cycle. Even though they prefer to feed on birds, they will bite humans and other mammals, which can get sick if they become infected. Small brown mosquitoes, they are not aggressive feeders, preferring to feed during dusk and dawn. Because they are not as aggressive as other mosquitoes, you may not notice when one is biting you – another good reason to wear insect repellent. Culex mosquitoes breed in stagnant, organic, nutrient-rich water. Places like catch basins (storm drains), clogged rain gutters and sites where water stands for a longer period of time (a few weeks).
There are four stages in the life of a mosquito: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Mosquitoes MUST have standing water to complete their life cycle.
West Nile virus (WNV) is a virus that is transmitted to people by the bite of an infected mosquito. Symptoms generally appear three to 15 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. While everyone is equally susceptible to WNV, immunocompromised individuals and people over the age of 50 are at greatest risk for developing more severe forms of the disease. Currently, no vaccine against WNV is available for people.
WNV in Alexandria
Each year, the Health Department traps and tests mosquitoes for WNV. These traps are located at numerous sites around the City in areas where mosquitoes have been observed. Typically, the Health Department will identify infected mosquitoes in July or very early August. In 2014, the first infected mosquitoes were collected on July 8.
Transmission Cycle
The natural transmission cycle of WNV is between a few species of mosquitoes and birds. Very few mosquitoes actually transmit the virus.
Signs and Symptoms
Approximately, 80% of people who are infected with WNV will not have any symptoms of illness at all. Symptoms usually appear three to fifteen days after a person is bitten by an infected mosquito.
Mild symptoms: Up to 20% of the people infected with WNV develop WNV fever. Symptoms may include fever, headache, body aches, nausea, vomiting, and sometimes swollen lymph glands or a skin rash on the chest, stomach, and/or back. Symptoms may last for a few days to several weeks.
Serious symptoms: About one in 150 people develop severe illness. This may include high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness, or paralysis. These symptoms may last several weeks and neurological effects may be permanent. West Nile virus infection can be fatal.

Graduate School of Education News
School of Education (SOE) becomes Graduate School of Education (GSE)
The Board of Trustees took action at its February meeting to grant independent status within the university to the newly-renamed Graduate School of Education (GSE), officially separating the School of Education from the College of Liberal Arts (CLA). The transition places the Willamette education program in the stratum of professional graduate schools alongside the College of Law and Atkinson Graduate School of Management.
As an independent college, the Graduate School of Education is better positioned to serve teachers and the teaching profession by having the ability to:
- Respond to marketplace needs for programs and professional development
- Create visibility for GSE offerings distinct from CLA, and
- Enable faculty and administrators to gain recognition as leaders in the field of teacher preparation.
Anticipated this spring are the approval of the GSE's application for national accreditation through the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education and the deployment of a new Masters in Education degree program in Salem and Portland.
For more, visit the (newly redesigned) Graduate School of Education website.
GSE teams with Willamette Academy for relationship-building event
All MAT students (including full-time and Aspire) will have the chance to participate in a collaborative program with Willamette Academy beginning mid-April.
The goal of the program, which will use small group sessions among MAT candidates and the parents of current Willamette Academy students, is to help the future teachers develop skills for fostering relationships with their students' parents.
Small groups of MAT students will begin to meet with parents beginning Tuesday, April 13.

Friedrich Schuening, M.D. Named Director of Hematology and Oncology
ST. LOUIS --Friedrich Schuening, M.D., has been named director of the division of hematology and oncology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine.
|Friedrich Schuening, M.D.
"We were very pleased to be able to attract Dr. Schuening to Saint Louis University because of his international reputation as an expert in hematologic malignancies and his experience in successfully building bone marrow transplant programs at two other institutions, most recently at Vanderbilt University," said Adrian Di Bisceglie, M.D., chair of the department of internal medicine at Saint Louis University and holder of the Bander Chair in Internal Medicine.
As director of hematology and oncology, Schuening will lead the existing faculty and recruit additional faculty to SLU to grow a variety of cancer treatment and research programs
"Dr. Schuening has a clear vision and plan for taking the entire division of hematology and oncology to a new level. As director of the Cancer Center, I look forward to working with a member of our faculty with his level of experience and perspective. I feel his arrival will be a game changer for our cancer program," said Mark Varvares, M.D., director of the Saint Louis University Cancer Center and the Donald and Marlene Jerome Endowed Chair in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.
That challenge, according to Schuening, attracted him to SLU.
"I chose to come to Saint Louis University for the opportunity to grow the division and further develop the bone marrow transplant program. My immediate goals include recruiting a significant number of faculty, adding programs to offer more comprehensive service, and developing multidisciplinary cancer clinics," Schuening said.
Schuening also plans to establish an outpatient bone marrow transplant facility.
"A great deal of transplant treatment can be done on an outpatient base, which is more cost effective and allows us to do more with the same number of patient beds. Most importantly, patients prefer to stay in the comforts of their home."
Schuening received his M.S. in theology from the University of Mainz in Germany and his M.D. from the University of Hamburg, Germany. He recalls turning on the news after a long shift as a resident and learning about the first bone marrow transplant in Germany. Fascinated by the procedure, he switched career paths and ultimately went to Seattle, where the method was developed, for in-depth training.
During his more than 30-year career, Schuening has conducted extensive research on bone marrow transplant, gene therapy and, more recently, regenerative medicine. He has served as principal investigator of several large preclinical and clinical studies and has authored numerous scholarly articles.
Like bone marrow transplant, which drastically improved the prognosis for patients with diseases such as leukemia, aplastic anemia and lymphoma, Schuening says regenerative medicine holds great potential for treating genetic diseases, as well as organ dysfunctions like spinal cord injuries or heart failure.
"Regenerative medicine is an exciting and important area of study. It offers the opportunity to treat diseases that we could not treat until now. Using our expertise in transferring genes with retroviral vectors, we are able to reprogram skin cells to pluripotent stem cells, which then can be differentiated into the cells of interest: neural cells, blood or muscle cells. This is something that even a few years ago one would not have thought possible," Schuening said.
At Vanderbilt, Schuening worked with neurologists who were interested in treating spinal cord injuries with regenerative medicine. He also worked with cardiologists to study how bone marrow cells could be used to repair damaged heart muscle. Schuening hopes to continue his multidisciplinary research at SLU.
Prior to Vanderbilt, Schuening was a professor of medicine at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where he also built a thriving bone marrow program.
Established in 1836, Saint Louis University School of Medicine has the distinction of awarding the first medical degree west of the Mississippi River. The school educates physicians and biomedical scientists, conducts medical research, and provides health care on a local, national and international level. Research at the school seeks new cures and treatments in five key areas: cancer, infectious disease, liver disease, aging and brain disease and heart/lung disease.

How to train a dog refers to selecting dog training techniques that are effective for both you and your pet. The way you react to his behaviour, the tone and pitch of your voice when you address him, your body language – all these are part of training your dog, sometimes without you even realizing it.
It is important that you are consistent in your ways so you get your message across. This is the only way for your dog to understand that you mean what you say. Your dog can be hard-headed when he does not want to conform to how you want him to behave. He may whine, bark, bite, and tug at you without stop, hoping that you will let him have his way. If you are certain that the way he is behaving is not appropriate, you have to be firm about it, no shilly-shallying about it; otherwise, his behaviour is not likely to change at all.
For example, if your dog barks incessantly because he wants you to do something which you are not prepared to do, do not give in simply to make her stop barking. This reaction will simply reinforce his thinking that he can get his way with you simply by barking non-stop.
This kind of behaviour just does not cut it. You have to stand up to your dog to show him who is boss. Such situations warrant that you instil some discipline and teach him to control such heavy-handed and unreasonable behaviour. How do you train your dog effectively?
There are some important things to keep in mind in how to train your dog.
First, persevere. Your dog will not automatically take to what you are training him to do. You have to be patient and push on determinedly even when there are times when your dog just does not behave the way you expect him to. Your patience will pay off in the long run.
Second, make training a happy occasion for both of you. Refrain from punishing your dog if he is slow on the uptake. Instead, during the times when he does as expected, reward or praise him extensively. This will motivate him to behave exactly the same way next time, knowing that this pleases you.
Third, be sensitive to your dog's body language. Because he cannot TELL you what he feels or wants, be attentive to other cues he provides –the way his ears stand up, the way he moves his tail, and the manner by which he looks or does NOT look at you, his general carriage. This will help you assess how he is doing vis-a-vis your training style.
You will learn how to train your dog by using your common sense. And if you have had your dog for quite some time now, you will know him enough to know exactly how to handle him. Otherwise, trial and error will tell you what works and what does not when it comes to training your dog. You will also learn from experience, fine-tuning the techniques on how to train your dog as you deem fit.
You can also opt to get help." Secrets to Dog Training" is one such program that many dog-owners are finding very useful. The dog training suggestions provided are a compilation of learning from long years of dealing with dogs of a variety of breed and disposition. It will help you transform your pet, be he a puppy or advanced in years, into a valuable, well-behaved, well-trained member of your family.

That depends on the state. In NY, it's 17, so if this story is true Clash committed statutory rape whether it was consensual or not. It's probably a civil, rather than criminal, case because the statute of limitations may have run out.

Trust No Program!
I just thought I'd write a little review to spread the word about a free, small (250kb) and very useful sandbox utility called "Sandboxie".
Depending on the person I explain it to, I usually get two completely different responses. When I explain what this program does, (which I'll get to in a second) I've found that people who are tech oriented think the idea of this program is fantastic, while the average user responds with "cool" which pretty much means "whatever".
How it works
The program lets you sandbox applications or the install of applications, so it does not have contract with the rest of your system. It does this by getting between the application and your computer and making it think its installing to c:\program files when in fact its installing to C:\Documents and Settings\(your username)\Application Data\Sandbox\DefaultBox\drive\C\Program Files, this goes for any directory on your hard drive. It also fakes the registry and it stores the registry entries for the application in a file called RegHive located in C:\Documents and Settings\(your user name)\Application Data\Sandbox\DefaultBox instead of the actual windows registry. An example of this would be to download an application that you are not quite sure about or just want to install without worrying about it damaging your system. You can right click the EXE and then choose "Run Sandboxed" It then proceeds to install the application to the sandboxed location. Because it installs everything in the sanbox its very easy to remove every trace of the application from the hard drive. You simply have to tell Sandboxie to delete the sandbox (function menu / contents of sandbox / delete contents) and the application you just installed is now gone from your computer.
While using sandboxie to install and test applications is nice, where Sandboxie really shines is while browsing the internet. When you sandbox your web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, ect…) it makes a shadow copy of your web browser and all the files it requires and copies them to the sandbox as it does with any sandboxed application, this happens faster than you might expect, you really don't notice it much at all. The benefits of this are many but I'll mention a few. One is privacy, you could install this on someone's computer or use it on your own,and at the end of your browsing session, delete the sandbox and all traces of your activates are gone and I mean ALL traces. The other benefit is virus and spyware protection / prevention. Any file that you download and open from within the sandboxed web browser willalso be contained in the sandbox. If you download a virus it will affect the sandbox and not your computer, so to remove it just delete the sandbox. Same goes for spyware. Now I'm not saying this is fool proof, there has been mention of some spyware which are sandbox aware and can escape the sandbox. Nothing is perfect but this is the closest thing to it.
I thought I would test it to see just how well this program really works. I started by installing Sandboxie inside a virtual XP install inside virtualbox (just in case it didn't work), then I proceeded to install Kazaa while sandboxed. During the install it threw a few errors at me but after it installed it ran just fine. After exploring the program files folder located in the sandbox directory, you could see all the crap it installed. You could also see the famous p2p networking running under processes in the task manager. Sense the p2p networking.exe got installed along side kazaa it was also sandboxed. Getting rid of kazaa was so easy it was almost fun. First I Told sandbox to kill all sandboxed processes, this included all the exe's which were running after the kazaa install. This was done very easily by clicking the function menu and choosing terminates sandboxed processes. Once all the kazaa processes vanished I told it to delete the sandbox and *Poof* no more kazaa.
That was too easy, I mean had a normal computer gotten infected with the wrath of kazaa, it could have been uninstalled and spyware removers could have taken care of the rest, it was nothing that would have required a reformat. So I thought I needed a better test. I needed to find what I call "Pandora's Box" I'm referring to one of those crack.exe files that are included in warez or program cracks, the kind of file that when you run it, it appears to have done nothing, but if you look at your process list, the CPU is spiked and you see so many random.exe files being loaded onto your system you just want to put your head between your legs and cry. I got a hold of one such file and downloaded it within a sandboxed Firefox and launched it. The only words to describe the activity that file produced is OMG. Because the file was opened with a sandboxed Firefox all the activity I saw on screen was also sandboxed. It took my running processes from 20 to 30. I then told it to Terminate all sandboxed processes, the processes list then dropped from 30 down to 20 instantly, I then told it to delete the sandbox and presto!, an event which had it occurred outside a sandbox would have required without a doubt a clean install of windows and a bleach bath. I preformed a boot time system scan with avast and current definition files. It found 27 infected files and all were located in the system restore directory, I'm not sure if that was from this test or a previous test I did before new about Sandboxie, in either case after an event like that its best to turn off system restore and turn it back on to delete all restore points. I was more than pleased with the results.
As you can tell I really love Sandboxie, I just wanted an opportunity to let otherwise know about this wonderful free little program. They do sell a version that does a few more things for $40/90 which is a life time of free upgrades (which I bought) but the free one does plenty. Included at the bottom is some screenshots of the interface, enjoy!
*Update 11/25/2011
I've been using sandboxie for the past 5 years (even before i wrote this review). Since writing the review Sandboxie now has a 64bit Version which runs great on Vista and Windows 7 64bit operating systems. Every machine in my home that is used to browse the internet has sandboxie installed.
Question - what happens if you get a malware infection?
Answer - If you get a malware infection from the internet, while your browser was being sandboxied, it's easy to remove. You simply tell Sandboxie to terminate all sandboxed processes. Then you tell sandboxie to delete the sandbox. That's it! The infection has been removed from your computer. It's not removed as it would be with a removal tools. With removal tools, while it might be removed you can never be sure you got it all.
Because the infection was sandboxed and contained you can be sure the entire infection was contained in the sandboxie and that you don't have anything left behind. It's as if the infection never happened.

Measurements & Ordering The Right Size
Shoe sizes vary by style—they run long, short, wide or narrow. We test fit size 8.5 shoes, and sometimes recommend ordering a larger or smaller size. Look for this information on any product page. (e.g. Fit: Runs long, buy a half size down.)
If one foot is larger than the other, always fit the larger foot.
The letters "4A", "3A", "2A", "B", or "C" below the sizes refer to the width of the shoe. The following chart explains the various widths Arthur Beren carries:
|4A or SS
|= Extra Narrow
|2A or N
|= Narrow
|B or M
|= Medium (Standard)
|C or W
|= Wide

Burger King has taken a little break from slavishly copying McDonald's McCafe beverages to introduce several new BBQ specialties, one of which is the Memphis BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich. I stopped in to the local BK yesterday to give it a try.
Here's what it looks like in the advertising:

And here's what it looks like in real life:
Now, I've acknowledged before that comparing real fast food to advertising-agency-styled fast food is a cheap shot, but trust me - this sandwich is so completely disgusting that the way it looks is only the beginning of how shitty it is.
There was no meaty pile of pulled pork on a crusty split-top bun. It was a small - significantly smaller than the diameter of the bread - knot of crappy, low-quality meat on a squishy oversized burger bun. Even though I actually looked at the contents of the sandwich when I took this picture, I still mustered up the courage to take a bite.
The pork was drenched in cheap, sticky BBQ sauce that tasted mostly of corn syrup and artificial smoke and it was the texture of shredded flannel. And worst of all, the entire interior was completely smothered in mayonnaise. So not only did the sandwich look like someone took a dump on a hamburger bun, it tasted like an overly-sweetened old washcloth sopped in slime.
For the first time in the history of Dave's Cupboard, I was unable to stomach so much as a single bite of a review subject. This heinous wet lump of filth was so horrendous that my first and only bite was instantly interrupted by my gag reflex and I spit the gnarly bolus back at the cardboard clamshell in which it was served.
On the other hand, the sweet potato shoestring fries that I got as a side were pretty good. So the visit wasn't a total loss.
