1. Put the potatoes into a saucepan of boiling water and boil until they are just cooked when pierced with a sharp knife. Drain well and leave to cool.2. Either roughly chop the salmon or process it briefly in a food processor to make a coarse mince. Using a fork or the back of a wooden spoon, roughly mash the potatoes with salt and pepper. Add the minced salmon and mix together.
3. With floured hands, divide the mixture into 4 pieces and press firmly into 4 plump fish cakes. Coat each fish cake in flour and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
4. Put the oil in a large frying pan and heat until hot. Add the fish cakes to the hot oil and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side.
5. Shake the washed spinach leaves dry, pack them into a saucepan and cover with a lid. Heat gently for 2-3 minutes or until the spinach has just begun to wilt. Drain the spinach thoroughly and season with a little salt and pepper.
6. Poach the eggs until just cooked. Remove the fish cakes from the oil. Divide half of the spinach leaves between 4 individual plates and place a fishcake on each one. Top with the remaining spinach and finish with a hot poached egg. Serve with lemon wedges.

I need an off brand, off camera flash I can fire wireless for my T3
Jul 12, 2014
I've read good things about the Yongnuo YN568 EX II but I'm not sure how to fire the flash remotely with my T3. I want to keep ETTL and HSS capabilities off camera. Is this the best flash for me, and how would I trigger it?

I use the ID in my URL, so it's important to me that the IDs be at least somewhat sequential. When moving from Blogger to WordPress, I imported about 50 posts and the ID for the last one was in the 50's. However, since doing that a couple of months ago, I've only made maybe four more posts, yet my IDs have shot up to around 115.
I did some research and it appears that every revision creates a new entry in the database. I disabled revisions in WordPress based on a post I found, so this should stop happening from this point forward, but I would now like to go into the database and 1) delete all of the revisions, and 2) resequence the IDs so that my post numbers are in the 60's rather than in the 110's. Essentially I want to fill in all of the gaps.
Is there a SQL script I can use to accomplish this quickly?
I don't have anyone else linking to specific posts right now since my WordPress site is brand new, so I am not concerned about the permalink URLs changing. I just want to make sure to get this done ASAP because it will be much harder to change a few months from now. I also want to make sure this won't break anything that's already there. (I have no comments yet on the WordPress posts, and I don't use metadata, so wp_comments and wp_meta aren't of much concern to me - I will only be correcting the IDs of posts made on WordPress, not the ones imported from Blogger.)

27 year old man | Miami, FL, USA | Seeking women 21-30 within 50 miles
When God gave the angels wings, he gave us bacon.
I'm currently the executive sous chef at an Italian restaurant in the downtown Miami area and my job goes hand in hand with what I'm passionate about. I love food and wine and how it plays a daily part in every persons life. I'm very passionate about what I do and in the future I will have a restaurant of my own, but in the meantime I'm learning all I can. The hours of the restaurant industry aren't ideal, but are manageable. In my free time I love to spend time outside being active and I run at least a few miles on a daily basis. I also love to dance and although I'm relatively new to Miami I thoroughly enjoy the Latin culture here, which I think is important to embrace if you want to live here for an extended period of time. So I'm working on my Spanish... I understand a lot, just can't always form a complete sentence just yet, but I do alright. My biological father was 100% hispanic and although I have never met him my friends tell me I have a good accent, so I attribute that to nature, as opposed to nurture. My lifelong goal is to cook on every continent (Yes even Antarctica, I want to roast a marshmallow if nothing else). So far Asia and North America are taken care of. I love making others laugh and lots of ridiculous verbal vomit will come out of my mouth. I'm not afraid to make fun of myself at all, I'm very secure with who I am so not very much bothers me(in regards to making fun of myselfme). Bottom line I enjoy making others smile. 99% of the time I have a smile on my face and the other 1% of the time I'm probably sleeping. I'm sometimes sarcastic all the time and I might enjoy telling ridiculous stories because it's fun to exaggerate... However, I'm honest so in the end I'll tell the uneventful truth, but I'll make you laugh getting to the actual point due to my slight, sometimes extravagant exaggerations... I like just about all kinds of music, it just depends on what mood I'm in... rainy day is Tyrone Wells, Adele, Michael Buble, going out is Latin, House, Hip Hop, relaxing with that special someone, RB old school love songs... I'd say my three favorite categories right now are (happy, not sad song) Vocals, Hip Hop and Latin... in no particular order I'm honestly looking for someone that's understanding, easygoing, and fun to be around
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Basketball, Football, Hockey, Running, Skiing, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish, Horses
Middle of the Road
In Miami-Blackbird Ordinary, Zuma, Segafredo, Pubbelly, Haven, Foxhole Bar, Chowdown, The Wood =P In General- NYC, the Hudson Valley (north of NYC), Northern Michigan, Colorado, Lake Tahoe, Atlanta, Chengdu-China, the northeast, including Maine!
The Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park, NY
I love food, which is good because it's my job. I also enjoy the Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, and How I Met Your Mother although I don't watch TV that often, traveling and learning about other cultures also entices me
Any outdoor activity, sports, exploring this diverse cities eateries, dancing well, singing off key, honestly enjoying life =)

Originally written on Sox and Dawgs | Last updated 12/9/11
By Brian Ring Hartford, CT, December 9, 2011 – Ryan Potulny scored two goals and added an assist, and Chris Bourque added a goal and an assist, to lead the Hershey Bears to a 5-3 victory over Connecticut Whale Friday night at the XL Center in Hartford. Keith Aucoin recorded three assists for Hershey, which had to hold off a furious third-period rally by the Whale, who received a goal and an assist from Mats Zuccarello. "We hit some (goal) posts, we had some good chances early," said Whale head coach Ken Gernander. "Of course we made a mistake or two that led to goals...but they stayed with it until the end of the game." The Whale and the Bears had played a scoreless first period, despite Connecticut being afforded three power-play opportunities. The Whale allowed the Bears' league-leading power-play one chance, in a frame that saw Hershey outshoot the Whale by an 8-4 margin. Former Whale Tomas Kundratek opened the scoring, giving the Bears a 1-0 lead at 13:52 of the second period...

From Ken Rosenthal:
http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/6595514The Rangers, continuing their pursuit of a right-handed hitter who could spell Kenny Lofton in center field, are targeting the Reds' Chris Denorfia and Giants' Jason Ellison, among others.
The Reds might prefer to keep Denorfia, who at the moment is one of their few healthy outfielders; Ryan Freel, Norris Hopper, Josh Hamilton and Ken Griffey Jr. all are less than 100 percent.
Ellison, like Denorfia, plays all three outfield positions, and the Giants would benefit from his speed and defense. However, Ellison is out of minor-league options, and the Giants might prefer to keep veteran Mark Sweeney for their final roster spot.

Actually this is directly applicable to the original post.
In the first case a three year old was in a floatie about a foot away from her mum.The mum was distracted for a minute and the floatie arbitrarily snapped and the kid slipped to the bottom.In the second case a 6 year old jumped in the pool a foot away from his dad and went straight down.
I am super paranoid about pool safety and on both occasions I noticed and the kid didn't drown but it was close. Basically in one case it was a mechanical issue and in the second case it was parental stupidity in not insuring his kid was wearing a vest. The issue is that a little screw up has such dire result. Really the same as motorcycling. A small error can cause death easily.There aren't many things you can say that about.
I still ride daily and will continue to do so but don't want to kid myself on the dangers involved.
In terms of the pool I bought a high quality fence to replace the crappy one and bought a very safe pool cover (same as good bike gear ) It mitigated some risk but wouldn't have prevented either incident.

Symmetricom's smarter clock for a smarter grid
By: SGN Staff
By Doug Peeples
SGN News Editor
Equipped with new technologies to enhance their capabilities, today's smart grid substations have much more demanding requirements for their operations than their predecessors. Symmetricom, a well-established precision timing and synchronization company, has just launched its SyncServer SGC-1500 Smart Grid Clock to meet the needs of those advanced substations for real-time network operations.
Symmetricom VP for marketing and business development Manish Gupta told Smart Grid News the point of the smart grid clock is to offer utilities accurate, reliable and secure timing and synchronization in their critical operations.
He referred to San Francisco-based Pacific Gas & Electric, which is participating with Symmetricom in the launch, and the multi-faceted benefits they will gain from its adoption of the SyncServer. Here is a quick summary of the key benefits.
· The clock's capabilities give the utility the tools to mitigate outages in a matter of hours or minutes rather than days or weeks.
· Operational efficiency can be boosted from a typical 85% to close to 100%, a plus considering the constant need to balance supply and demand and the uncertainty of renewable power and other similar concerns like EVs.
· A one microsecond time stamp on the thousands of messages moving across networks provides the accuracy to make it faster and easier to make sense of all that data. It's a real-time view. And phasor measurement units (PMUs) don't have a lot of value without time stamps at that level of accuracy.
· While GPS will still be a part of networks, the smart grid clock reduces the need for numerous and expensive GPS installations at every substation and PMU. That alone is a significant plus for return on investment considerations.
· The SyncServer meets primary requirements for smart grid substations, including IEC 61850, the International Electrotechnical Commission's standards for substation automation design which, again, requires microsecond timing to find and fix potential faults - and the standard's electrical hardening requirements.
· It also meets the requirements of the North American Reliability Corporation's reliability and security standards for Critical Infrastructure Protection (NERC CIP), which mandates very strong security protocols.
· A rubidium atomic clock option provides holdover capacity if GPS is interrupted. Another option is built-in IEEE 1588 v2 Telecom Profile input.
· It can be deployed at a substation or a central location.
There is more of course, but you get the idea.
SyncServer® SGC-1500 Smart Grid Clock
provides microsecond timing accuracy in
Smart Grid substations for real-time network operations
Symmetricom®, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYMM), a worldwide leader in precision time and frequency technologies, today announced a new timing solution that meets the stringent microsecond accuracy requirements of Smart Grid substations. Specifically designed for substation operations, such as wide area measurement systems, traveling wave fault locators and sampled values, the Symmetricom SyncServer SGC-1500 Smart Grid Clock offers power utility companies accurate, secure and reliable timing and synchronization for their mission-critical operations. This means companies like Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) will be able to mitigate outages with real-time monitoring for grid stress, frequency instability, voltage instability and reliability margins.
The Smart Grid has brought about power technology advancements that fundamentally change substation operations. Power equipment and their data networks are shifting from simple, reactive control and reporting to proactive, real-time management and operations control. Thus, advanced synchronization and timing are now more critical than ever, and it's precisely what the SGC-1500 Smart Grid Clock is designed to address; enabling power equipment to operate more efficiently and closer to its operational limits. For example, one microsecond accuracy is required by the phasor measurement unit (PMU) for real-time network situational awareness and overall operational efficiency. Without accurate time stamps, PMU data has limited value. For power utility companies, that translates into enhanced network utilization rates as well as smarter management and mixing of renewable and traditional power sources.
"Power and utility companies are increasingly looking to source the latest technology innovations in order to modernize their infrastructure," said Greg Neichin, executive vice president, Cleantech "Over the past three years, we have tracked more than $700m in venture investment committed to companies developing smart grid products. These are all data-intensive applications that will rely heavily on precise timing and synchronization, as well as more advanced analytics to process these vast streams of new information."
"The Smart Grid architecture and related standards require a new approach to timing distribution across the overall network," said Manish Gupta, vice president of marketing and business development for Symmetricom. "Symmetricom brings extensive experience in delivering precise time to the communications, government, and enterprise markets. Serving the power utility telecom network over the past 10 years, Symmetricom is ideally positioned to meet the emerging timing requirements of the Smart Grid."
The SyncServer SGC-1500 meets key requirements of Smart Grid substations, including:
· Microsecond accuracy and resiliency â€" referencing GPS satellite signals, the Symmetricom Smart Grid Clock distributes timing with microsecond accuracy over the local area network (LAN) using the IEEE 1588 v2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Power Profile or IRIG-B time code.
· IEC 61850 â€" the International Electrotechnical Commission's (IEC) standards for the design of electrical substation automation, which requires microsecond timing to identify and mitigate a potential fault condition in real time. This standard also identifies important electrical hardening requirements for substation environments.
· NERC CIP ― the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) reliability and security standards for Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP), which calls for high strength security protocols.
The SyncServer SGC-1500 comes with additional industry leading capabilities such as a built-in IEEE 1588 v2 Telecom Profile input option. This enables the Smart Grid Clock to derive time from the communications wide area network (WAN), thus eliminating the need to have GPS at every substation and PMU. The Rubidium atomic clock option offers holdover capability in the event of GPS disruption. These options result in a highly cost effective and resilient solution for power utilities.

In brief: Southaven police charge 2 for meth chemicals
Southaven police have charged two people with possession of the chemicals used to make meth.
Jeffrey W. Hatley, 26, of Walls and Danielle Henson, 30, of Southaven were charged with possession of methamphetamine precursor chemicals after an investigation led officers to the chemicals inside the house Tuesday evening.
The couple, who police said are dating, were arrested at a home in the 1400 block of Ticonderoga shortly after 8 p.m. The home, in the western section of the city, is not far from City Hall and the Police Department.
"It was not a full-blown meth lab, but they were in possession of the precursor chemicals," Lt. Mark Little said.
Little said a company the department hires to do meth cleanup was brought to the scene and was there through the night.
Hatley and Henson were in the DeSoto County jail Wednesday. Hatley's bond was set at $33,500 and Henson was being held on a $30,000 bond.

Appeals court upholds decision
JACKSON -- The state Court of Appeals has upheld the dismissal of the post-conviction petition of a man convicted in the 2003 death of an Olive Branch woman.
Mario Dockery pleaded guilty to murder in 2007. He was sentenced to life in prison.
Dockery was one of three men charged in the death of Anna "Maxine" Andrews. Prosecutors say duct tape was wrapped around her face and head, causing her to suffocate. She was killed at her home in Olive Branch.
Dockery wanted to attack the validity of his sentence and the performance of his attorney. Both claims were denied by a DeSoto County judge last year.

ATM Safety Tips
As with all financial transactions, please exercise discretion when using an Automatic Teller Machine. For your own safety, be careful. The following suggestions may be helpful.
Card Safety Tips
- Protect the secrecy of your Personal Identification Number (PIN). Do not tell anyone your PIN. Do not use birth dates or part of your social security number. Memorize your code. Do not keep a note of your PIN in your wallet or purse.
- Have your ATM card ready when you approach the ATM.
- Do not lend your ATM card to anyone.
- If your ATM card is lost or stolen, contact us immediately. During banking hours call (228) 934-1229 or after hours call (800) 528-2273. You will be issued a new card.
ATM Safety
- Do not accept assistance from anyone you do not know when using an ATM. If someone approaches you and demands your money, do not resist. Try to remember everything you can about the incident and call the police immediately.
- Prepare for ATM transactions at home (for instance, by filling out a deposit slip) to minimize your time at the ATM.
- Wait until you are at home or in other secure surroundings to count your money. At a drive-up ATM, make sure all the car doors are locked, windows up and keep the engine running and remain alert to your surroundings.
- Be aware of your surroundings. If you see suspicious people in the area, cancel your transaction and go to another ATM.
- If an ATM is hidden from view or poorly lit, go to another ATM.

A lot of attention has been paid in the Portland media recently to Nicolas Batum's aching right wrist. The focus has been on his lack of shot attempts — over the first 44 games of the season he averaged 16.2 points per game on 12.7 shots per game; in his four games since injuring the wrist, he's averaging 7.5 points on 6.5 shots a night. Basically half the production on half the attempts. Despite the injury, Batum is still playing the big minutes he's played all season long. He's averaged nearly 39 minutes per game this season and that hasn't changed. In the last four games, he's "nursed" his wrist by logging 38 minutes, 38 minutes, 35 minutes and 40 minutes. The reason coach Terry Stotts has kept him on the floor is because Batum is such a complete player. He is still doling out the assists, still hauling in the rebounds, still disrupting opposing offenses with his versatility on defense. But because it pains Batum so much to shoot, he has lost a key weapon in his arsenal...

Purple clay: The purple clay (Zi Sha) has the characteristics of fast heat transmission and good heat preservation. Teapots made by this material are specifically designed to retain the aroma and flavors of the tea. It is better to use a certain Zi Sha Teapot only for one kind of tea.
This clay is porous when fired and is ideal for the making of teapots. Over time, the clay absorbs the flavors from the tea and releases them later. The teapots have become popular in China since the North Song Dynasty and were traded to many countries.
Xi Shi Yixing Zi Sha Teapot with element shape, natural beauty as Xi Shi (西施 the name of one of the four great beauties of ancient China) is a classic style which is the first choice for Zi Sha Teapot lovers.
Elegant and fluent line, the proportion coordination, all show the beauty of the full state.
The body of teapot like the pure full round face of a beautiful girl.
The spout like beauty cherry mouth of a girl, gentle and graceful. It is not only beautiful, but also practical.
The pearl on the lid just symbolizes the tuinga of the noble person in Chinese ancient times.
The handle of the teapot like a woman's elegant bun which naturally reveal woman's lovely figure.
The inside and bottom of the teapot is carefully crafted.
Tea liquor flowing easy and smooth.
Excellent air tightness
Press the tiny hole on the lid, downward the spout and no water will leak.
Pour water full of the teapot and press the spout, downward the lid it will still tightly stick with teapot.
A common Chinese saying goes "In the eyes of a lover, Xi Shi appears". This phrase means that everyone thinks his/her own partner is as beautiful as Xi Shi, regardless of how they may appear to other people. It is believable that every tea lover and Yixing Clay (Zi Sha) teapot lover will has his "Xi Shi" in his heart.

This is a very nice teapot made of good clay. It looks small but does hold a little more than half a cup of liquid. The lid has a good fit and the water flow can be stopped, as shown. I've used it twice, so far it isn't picking up much aroma, but the patina is building up. It arrived 10 business days after being shipped to the US. It arrived 2 days to Chicago, but was stuck in customs for a while. Overall a great starter pot.

Beautiful! The only caveat is that the pot is a little bit on the large side for me. However, it is wonderfully made, has nice thick walls, and pours like a dream.

I've had this teapot for a few months now and I am completely satisfied.
Like others have said, it's very well made and was carefully packaged (mine came in a pretty beat-up package, but the teapot itself and the box it comes in were intact). The pour is very nice, and the lid fits perfectly.
I'm also quite fascinated with the craftsmanship. It's beautifully designed and made with great skill.

This little pot is absolutely beautiful, and I would recommend it to anyone without a second thought. You can feel that it's well made just by running your hands over it. The photos don't lie, the lid really is a tight enough fit that covering the hole on the top makes the pour stop, and when I cover the spout and hold it upside down the lid stays on. The pour is smooth and the filter holes are a good size for stopping the leaves without becoming blocked up.
I've been disappointed by clay pots purchased from other web sites before when they turned out to be slip cast and low quality, but not this one! I'll definitely be buying another some day when it's time to find a pot for my greener oolongs.

My friend surprised me with this little teapot this weekend! It is the most adorable little thing and super well made! Just like the pictures, mine passed the water pressure test and the lid fits very well while pouring. Seasoning went well also, we did a boil and steep, no issues in cracking or weird smells. Very happy with this gift/purchase!

Lovely little teapot. Pours great, no weird smells. Good quality. The lid fits well. And it was packaged carefully, you don't have to worry about things breaking while shipping.

This teapot acquits itself of its task honourably. I ordered it for Wu Longs specifically, though it may be a better fit for Gong Fu Hong teas or Pu Erhs. The pouring process is tricky and likely to incur spilling at first, but some practice allows to circumvent this. For the price, I highly recommend this product.

Commonly asked questions
- Q: Is it best to warm up the pot with warm water before filling it with boiling water? Is there a risk of cracking if I put boiling water in the pot, while the pot is at room temperature? Posted on 1/22/15 by Wes
Reply: Dear Wes,
Thank you very much for writing to us.
Yes, usually we say that when the temperature of the pot is too low, then we can warm up the pot with warm water first, especially for Zhu Ni (red clay) teapot. And it has the risk of cracking if you put boiling water in the pot, while the pot is at room temperature. Hope this is helpful for you.
- Q: Hello,Is this teapot crafted to absorb the flavours of the ta over tme? I've been using this teapot regularly for about a year, brewng the same types of tea and I haven't really noticed anything. Posted on 12/7/14 by P.A.
Reply: Dear Pierre,
Thank you very much for writing to us.
Yes, the Zi Sha teapot will absorb the flavours. The purple clay is a kind of dual porosity structure of porous material. The stoma is very tiny and the density of stomas is high. So it can keep the flavors of teas.
Meanwhile, with the using, the teapot will become more and more smooth.
Hope this is helpful for your concern.
- Q: Is this teapot good for Tieguanyin or is it too light of a tea? Posted on 8/11/14 by Ryan Mirsky
Reply: Dear Ryan,
This teapot is good for Tieguanyin. You can click this link to know more how to brew Tieguanyin with the teapot: http://www.teavivre.com/info/brewing-tie-guan-yin/.
- Q: This teapot is a recent purchase of mine. All is well, only I have noticed what looks like clay sediments at the bottom of the second teapot I use to pour the brew in. This is minimal, but is it normal? Does it stop over time? Posted on 4/19/14 by A.Z.
Reply: The sediments are normal to be found in newly made Yixing teapots. That's why it is suggested to season the teapot before its first use, aiming to prepare the teapot for brewing, as well as to remove the dirts and dusts away. If it is not convenient for you to season the teapot, a basic careful clean would also be helpful.
So you may not worry. The clay sediments will be gone after washing the teapot.
- Q: I got the teapot and everything was in order. The only thing I noticed about it was that it smelled a bit odd like straw or hay. Is that normal? Posted on 9/19/13 by Brendon Braun
Reply: It is the normal flavor of new Yixing teapot, which actually is the flavor of purple clay. Usually it smells like earth. This flavor can be removed by seasoning the teapot.

You've been mocked. You've been humiliated. You've been insulted.
If it's any comfort, lots of other people are trying to sell their homes, too.
But real estate mutual funds are faring surprisingly well in the worst real estate market in decades. One reason: Real estate funds invest in commercial properties, which march to a different drummer than the residential market. Will the commercial real estate rally continue? Probably — but it wouldn't hurt to move in slowly.
Real estate funds invest primarily in real estate investment trusts, or REITs — which, in turn, invest in apartments, offices, storage facilities and other commercial real estate. Real estate funds have gained an average 6% this year, vs. a 5.3% loss for the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index with dividends reinvested.
REITs have high dividend yields, which make them popular in uncertain markets — like, say, this one. The average REIT yields 5.17%, according to the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, a trade organization. In contrast, 10-year Treasury notes yield 4.04%, and the S&P 500 yields just 2.01%.
Dividends help cushion your portfolio in market downturns. And REITs, by nature, are dividend machines. REITs must pay out at least 90% of their taxable income to investors through dividends.
Inflation fears help REITs, too. The consumer price index, the government's main gauge of inflation, has gained 3.9% for the 12 months through April. Food and energy prices have soared far more, raising fears of a burst of persistent inflation.
People tend to buy real estate, gold and other tangible assets when the value of paper money declines. "In the long term, physical property has offered a hedge against inflation," says Joe Rodriguez, lead manager of the AIM Global Real Estate fund.
Finally, REITs are also doing well because Wall Street hit them with a wrecking ball last year. The average REIT fund fell 14.7% in 2007, according to Morningstar, the mutual fund tracker. "The REITs' elastic band got stretched so far in one direction last year that there was nowhere to go but up," says Alec Young, strategist for S&P.
Apartment REITs have fared best this year. As banks have tightened their lending standards, more people have had to rent instead of buying their own home — and that helps apartment REITs. Continually falling home prices also spur rentals: People figure they can buy later at a lower price. And, with foreclosures going up, former homeowners have to rent. "They have to live somewhere," Rodriguez says.
Associated Estates Realty Corp. (ticker: AEC), is one of the top-performing REITs this year. The apartment REIT has soared 46% this year, including reinvested dividends. AEC's net rent rose 3.1% in the 12 months ended March, and 4.1% for its Midwest holdings.
The biggest problem with REITs is that they're economically sensitive — that is, they fare best when the economy is roaring, office buildings are filled, and shopping centers hum. Unfortunately, the economy is barely meowing at the moment, which is why Rodriguez likes health care REITs. "Whether the economy is anemic or boring, you still have to go to the doctor or the dentist," he says.

You might think that the ParallelActivity in Windows Workflow Foundation is misnamed. At the very least, the ParallelActivity within Windows Workflow Foundation is deceptive. It would seem that you can just place any activity within its branches and each branch will be executed, well, in parallel to each other. However, that's not necessarily the case. Consider a workflow that looks like this:
The code behind each of these is very simple.
private void oncode1(object sender, EventArgs e)
Console.WriteLine("Code 1");
private void oncode2(object sender, EventArgs e)
Console.WriteLine("Code 2");
Even though each CodeActivity is contained within a branch of the ParallelActivity, the total time to process this workflow is 8 seconds (3 seconds for the left, then 5 seconds for the right) instead of the expected 5 seconds. From experience, this behavior throws a lot of people off.
The reason why the total processing time is 8 seconds instead of 5 seconds is because the CodeActivity executes synchronously. To be more precise, the CodeActivity does all of its work in its Execute method and then returns an ActivityExecutionStatus value of Closed. The ActivityExectuionStatus state machine is described in the article Simplify Development With The Declarative Model Of Windows Workflow Foundation:
Had the CodeActivity returned ActivityExecutionStatus.Executing and continued doing its work, we would see very different behavior. In fact, you can read more about how to create an activity that returns ActivityExecutionStatus.Exeucting in my blog post, Use Workflow to Invoke Web Services in Parallel.
Windows Workflow Foundation is a scheduled environment. WF will schedule the ParallelActivity to execute, which in turn schedules its left branch to execute. The right branch is not scheduled to execute until the left branch completes or yields. That point is hard to digest, so let's look at a different example.
In this workflow, the left DelayActivity has a TimeoutDuration of 3 seconds, while the right DelayActivity has a TimeoutDuration of 5 seconds. In other words, we have 2 activities that perform their work asynchronously. The left branch is scheduled, which immediately yields its execution, then the right branch is scheduled.
The InvokeWebServiceActivity is similar to the CodeActivity because it also performs its work synchronously. What happens if we put an InvokeWebServiceActivity in the left branch that calls a web service that does some work for 3 seconds?
Just like we saw previously, the total processing time is 8 seconds. The reason is because the activity in the left branch does not yield its execution to the workflow scheduler until it is complete. Once the branch on the left either yields or completes, the branch on the right is scheduled. Which brings up an interesting scenario... what if we switch the order of the activities within the ParallelActivity?
Here, the DelayActivity has a TimeoutDuration of 3 seconds and the InvokeWebServiceActivity does some work that takes 5 seconds. The total time to process this workflow is only 5 seconds! The reason why is because the left branch is scheduled first, and the DelayActivity performs its work asynchronously. That means it yields execution status to the workflow scheduler so that it can, in turn, schedule the right branch of the ParallelActivity. Internally, the DelayActivity returns ActivityExecutionStatus.Executing in its Execute method and completes its work later.
OK, easy enough to wrap your head around. So long as the activity on the left does its work asynchronously, you get the perception of parallelism. But what if the activities that you are using do not perform their work asynchronously? It turns out that the designers of WF had this in mind when they created an activity called InvokeWorkflowActivity. InvokeWorkflowActivity performs its work asynchronously.
The InvokeWorkflowActivity calls another workflow where its CodeActivity does some work for 3 seconds. The DelayActivity has a TimeoutDuration of 5 seconds. The total processing time is 5 seconds, because the left branch performs its work asynchronously and yields to the right branch.
I say this with a word of caution... InvokeWorkflowActivity is a potential solution because that activity is invoked asynchronously, but the InvokeWorkflowActivity does not return ActivityExecutionStatus.Executing... it returns ActivityExecutionStatus.Closed. In other words, you have no idea if the workflow that you invoke is still running or has completed. Some folks want this to act differently, enabling you to execute another workflow synchronously. Jon Flanders has an excellent example of invoking workflows synchronously on his blog.

2013 Ram Sport Plasti Dipped grille inserts
First, let me say 90% of this went pretty well and smooth. The 10% that didn't...well...that was a pain in the ass. From start to finish it took about 3 hours or so. Reassembly was a breeze and only took about 15 minutes total from putting in the grille inserts to installing the grille back on the truck. Here is the process in a nutshell:
Step 1 - Open hood and pop up plastic rivets on radiator shroud. I used a Christmas tree fastener removal tool to get them up. Using both hands pull up on either side of the shroud where the rivets are. The shroud was so flimsy I couldn't get the tool to pull the rivets out all the way.
Step 2 - Using a 10mm socket undo the bolts on the top of the grille. Tip: There are two different lengths of bolts so keep track where they go. The grille can now tilt forward a little bit. It is still fastened with four of the plastic rivets towards the sides and close to the bumper. Slide your hand in between the grille and radiator and push out on the grille from the inside. DO NOT pull on the grille from the outside. This may bend the grille and crack your paint...or vice versa.
Step 3 - I brought mine in the house since I do not have a garage for this type of stuff. Place a clean towel on a table. Place the grille emblem side down on the towel. Be very careful from here on in NOT to put pressure on the grille and by extension the Ram emblem. The top of the grille has a small saddle bolted to it that holds the mounting brackets. This part has to be removed to get to the insert tabs. This is where I used a drill with a socket adapter since there seemed to a lot of these 5/16 bolts. Tip: Resist the urge to clean the tabs that the bolts go through that attach to the front of the truck. You can use the clean/dirty contrast of the bolt holes as a guide to centering the grille on the truck once you are done.
Step 4 - I don't know if all the 2013s or just the Sports have two pieces of air ducting bolted to the grille but the removal of these was the worst part of this job. They were not meant to come off very easy. There job seems to be to funnel the air from the width of the grille to the center. I tried everything I could think of to pry these off. I used a screw driver to try and pry the tabs back but they didn't want to budge. They are made of a flimsy plastic that just bent the tabs instead of moving them out of the way. Finally, after 30 minutes I just pulled really hard. I DO NOT recommend doing this. I didn't damage anything but I am sure this isn't the correct way to do this but I am stumped.
Step 5 - Finally, you can get to the inserts. I used a large screwdriver to slip behind the tabs and pry them back while I lifted the insert in that area up. That seemed to be the easiest way.
Step 6 - Clean the chrome with Windex. Let it dry completely. Mask and Plasti Dip. I used 3/4 of a can on these two inserts. I waited 5 minutes after the final coat and then pulled the masking tape off. I waited another hour with a ceiling fan going over the inserts before I put them back in the grill.
Step 7 - Reverse the process. This went fast and is pretty easy. Just make sure you are not resting the inserts Plasti Dipped side against anything. I held the grille in the same orientation it is on the truck with one hand and put the parts back on with the other. Start in one corner with the tabs and make your way around pushing them in until they click. Re attach Satan's air ducts. Bolt the saddle back on. Homestretch now!
Step 8 - Carefully align the bottom of the grille with the holes the fasteners go in to. Push gently on the bottom fasteners until you hear them click/pop. Repeat with the other three fasteners. Using the clean/dirty contrasts of the saddle holes line them up and hand thread the bolts back in. Make sure you put the different sizes in the correct holes. Tighten with socket but not all the way. Check alignment of grille again. Tighten all bolts down.
Step 9 - Post to ramforumz with pictures immediately.

American Paintings in the Brooklyn Museum: Artists Born by 1876 is the recipient of the Association of Art Museum Curators Award for Excellence as the "Outstanding Catalogue Based on a Permanent Collection" published during 2006. "We seek to recognize great achievement in curatorial practice nationwide," stated George T. M. Shackelford, AAMC President, who is also Chair, Art of Europe, and Solomon Curator of Modern Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; "The AAMC Awards for Excellence are the only cross-disciplinary awards in which curators honor their colleagues. This year saw an unprecedented number of nominations from across North America." The award was formally announced at the AAMC Sixth Annual Meeting, held on May 14, 2007, at The Morgan Library & Museum, New York.
The 1,152-page two-volume set authored by Teresa A. Carbone, Andrew W. Mellon Curator of American Art at the Brooklyn Museum, with contributions by Barbara Dayer Gallati and Linda S. Ferber, surveys works from the colonial period to the early twentieth century. It was published in May 2006 by the London-based firm D Giles Ltd in association with the Brooklyn Museum.
American Paintings in the Brooklyn Museum received the Alfred H. Barr, Jr., Award from the College Art Association. Established in 1980 and named after the founding director of the Museum of Modern Art, the Alfred H. Barr, Jr., Award is given each year to an especially distinguished catalogue in the history of art published in any language under the auspices of a museum, library, or collection. The award was presented to Dr. Carbone on Wednesday, February 14, 2007, at the Convocation of the annual meeting of the College Art Association at the Hilton New York hotel in Manhattan. Members of the Barr Award committee this year included Alan Wallach, The College of William and Mary; Elizabeth Childs, Washington University; Beth Holman, Bard Graduate Center; and Susan Huntington, Ohio State University. In announcing the award, the College Art Association said that "this beautifully produced two-volume set" is "destined to become a classic reference work.... At a time when museums are increasingly putting resources into splashy blockbuster exhibitions, American Paintings in the Brooklyn Museum serves as a powerful reminder of the centrality of the permanent collection to the museum's mission and of the need for rigorous and necessarily time-consuming research to deepen public and scholarly understanding of its collections."
Fifteen years in preparation, American Paintings in the Brooklyn Museum documents one of the world's premier collections of American paintings, remarkable for its scope, depth, and quality. Nearly 700 paintings by 340 artists are included, with 160 of the paintings reproduced in color on full pages. The catalogue also provides a two-part critical history of the growth and development of the Brooklyn Museum's American painting collection and detailed biographical information on each artist. Each painting is accompanied by an interpretive entry with provenance, exhibition history, and technical information based on firsthand analysis by a conservator.

Child flown to trauma center after hit by vehicle in Port St. Lucie
PORT ST. LUCIE — An 8-year-old girl was flown to an area trauma center Tuesday afternoon after being struck by a vehicle while crossing Southwest Bayshore Boulevard after being dropped off by a school bus, a Port St. Lucie police spokesman said.
The girl, a fourth-grade student at Morningside Elementary, had been dropped off by a school bus at Southwest Airview Avenue and Southwest Bayshore Boulevard, said Master Sgt. Frank Sabol, police spokesman.
The bus left.
The girl was crossing Bayshore Boulevard about 3:35 p.m., and was struck by a southbound 1999 Honda Passport driven by a 45-year-old woman.
The girl fell and sustained head trauma and abrasions, but Sabol said her injuries were not thought to be life-threatening. She was flown to an area trauma center.
Monday was the first day of school in St. Lucie County.
Police are continuing to investigate the incident.

Baghdatis is night owl at Australian Open
MELBOURNE, Australia -- Marcos Baghdatis is getting tired of burning the midnight oil at the Australian Open.
The 2006 runner-up finished his third-round match at 1:14 a.m. Saturday against American Mardy Fish.
But that was an early finish compared with his record from last year, when he lost to Lleyton Hewitt in a five-set match that didn't begin until after 11:30 p.m. and finished at 4:34 a.m.
Baghdatis, who beat Fish 6-2, 6-4, 6-4, said he wanted to play some earlier matches, maybe even in his fourth-rounder when he takes on defending champion Novak Djokovic.
"I cannot say it's not a problem," Baghdatis said. "It's a bit of a pain ... for me because the last two years I'm here I'm finishing matches after midnight ..."
Baghdatis said it would be impossible for him to catch up on his sleep before taking on Djokovic on Sunday.
"I will wake up normal because my eyes will be open at seven or eight o'clock like always with all the adrenaline and all the pressure," Baghdatis said. "So I don't think I'll get a lot of sleep.
"I'm just saying it's tough for the players. It happens that it's me second time in a row."
Tournament schedulers must not have been listening, although perhaps they were planning to allow him a Sunday sleep-in.
He's scheduled to play Djokovic in the second match at Rod Laver Arena on Sunday night, following a women's singles match that begins at 7:30 p.m. If that goes to three sets, it could be another late start for Baghdatis.
A former No. 8 after his strong play in 2006 that started with his finals loss to Roger Federer at Melbourne Park, Baghdatis has been hit by injuries and is now ranked 97.

How Smartphones are Improving the Cable Customer Service Experience
June 30, 2015
In his recent LinkedIn column, "State of the Cable Industry: How We're Changing the Stereotype of the Cable Guy," NCTA President & CEO Michael Powell said that turning around the industry's customer service reputation is a huge priority and one that companies are committed to, and investing in. We've all seen the stories and surveys which underline the challenges – certainly not something we enjoy reading – but it's also important to highlight the improvements that are being made and the new techniques are being implemented. After all, the number of hours that American consumers watch TV and use the Internet is only increasing. When services have glitches, customers are looking for quick, helpful solutions.
Many cable companies, for example, are leveraging smartphones and tablets to not only provide better products that can be used far from the home, but to prevent technology problems before they even begin.
If you are a Time Warner Cable customer, you can now check on the status of the equipment in your home with a few swipes on a smartphone or tablet. Time Warner Cable in 2014 re-launched its mobile app for iOS and Android to, among other things, let customers troubleshoot their cable and Internet equipment.
"If your modem is off-kilter or your set-top box is acting up, the app lets you go in and look at diagnostics on your phone in real-time," says Eric Burton, a Group VP at Time Warner Cable. From there, "You can determine whether it's something you can fix yourself by initiating a re-set, which you can do with the mobile app, or if you need to talk to us."
Time Warner Cable isn't the only company using smartphones to make customer service better. When Suddenlink technicians are on a job in a customer's home, their iPhones are tied into the company's workforce automation system, which automatically checks the health of that customer's equipment. The system helps Suddenlink techs know everything inside and outside of the house is working properly before they leave a customer's home.
And take a look at Sjoberg's, a small Minnesotan cable system, who's field technicians use their iPhones to check an app that helps them to locate issues in the field. After it's been determined that there's a problem, the app can establish, for example, that the issue is about 700 feet from a modem or some 1600 feet from a cable modem termination system, a piece of equipment usually located in a cable system's headend.
"The phone app is like radar," says Richard Sjoberg, the ISP's CEO. "Instead of being in an area that's one-mile square, you have it nailed down to a much smaller area, so you know where to start looking. That cuts down outage time and makes our crews more productive." And with more and more customers relying on their home Internet for business, quicker resolution of system issues is paramount.
Using smartphones to improve the customer experience is just one way in which cable companies are working to fix this problem, but there are more.
Come back to platform, where every other Tuesday we'll be publishing another story on how cable is working to fix the customer experience so you can get back to working, watching, chatting, and everything else you love doing with cable.

Such is the nature of justice in the U.S. District of Massachusetts.
According to the International Union for Conservation of nature, the animal is "teetering on the brink of extinction."
The first loop of the introductory video concluded with a series of nature scenes.
late 13c., "restorative powers of the body, bodily processes; powers of growth;" from Old French nature "nature, being, principle of life; character, essence," from Latin natura "course of things; natural character, constitution, quality; the universe," literally "birth," from natus "born," past participle of nasci "to be born," from PIE *gene- "to give birth, beget" (see genus).
From late 14c. as "creation, the universe;" also "heredity, birth, hereditary circumstance; essential qualities, innate disposition" (e.g. human nature); "nature personified, Mother Nature." Specifically as "material world beyond human civilization or society" from 1660s. Nature and nurture have been contrasted since 1874.
Nature should be avoided in such vague expressions as 'a lover of nature,' 'poems about nature.' Unless more specific statements follow, the reader cannot tell whether the poems have to do with natural scenery, rural life, the sunset, the untouched wilderness, or the habits of squirrels." [Strunk & White, "The Elements of Style," 3rd ed., 1979]
