First, let us review what is the concept behind services, with particular mention of the web services themselves.
A service is a business functionality exposed by a simple interface. Note that it is not an object, nor a method, nor a module, not a procedure. It is pure business functionality.
Services are consumed, not called, nor executed nor invoked. We define the service consumption as the interaction between agents, a client and a provider, which will communicate using a messaging system, where the data unit is a document. Consumption may be local or remote (meaning a service may not require remote communication).
A service may live in the web, where they are modeled as resources, identified by a URI. If not living in web, as suitable endpoint implementation should be provided.
A service is described at business level with a contract, where a glossary of the terms is agreed upon, and the semantics of all business concepts and processes are clearly stated and known by interacting parts (this is important). The service implementation is defined by the service name, its contract, an endpoint (unique entry point/port) where to send messages, the operations the service offers, the message interaction flow, the message composition (including the document definition) and optionally a binding information.
Nice definition. What is wrong with it?. Not much, actually. Just that when Web Services Architecture group decided to make those concepts into a standard, they did a great job, but also committed a couple of fatal mistakes.
The first one was the actual selection of SOAP as the messaging protocol. Yes, SOAP is a big mistake, not because it is SOAP, but because of what it was created for. You can read here a very complete explanation of the SOAP origins by one of the people that worked on it, Don Box. There, we can understand the main problem to solve was creating a protocol to better support RPC (actually RMI) in a object distributed system.
Yes, SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) was not created to support services documents and messaging. It was created to provide a technology neutral data/class definition system, plus supporting remote method access (that actually meant Remote Method Invocation).
So, why is this a mistake? Well, unless your idea of services was, from the beginning, that of distributed objects and the exposition of their methods, SOAP was no fit for a Services architecture. Why is SOAP there, not sure, but my common sense tells me it was not its place. If the idea was to support document oriented messaging, an RPC protocol was the weirdest decision I can think of. You will need to tweak the protocol to support what it was not supporting before. The only reusable aspect is that it was meant for HTTP transportation, which by the way is not a constrain of the WSA (it is the only implementation though).
History tells that soon after, SOAP was modified to allow document style definition, relaxing the literal RPC format. The SOAP acronym meaning was actually changed! So it is not an object access oriented protocol anymore, but a service oriented one. That should prevent people using it for RPC, was the hope.
Ok, if that was fixed (SOAP adjusted), we may have no more problems with that, right?
What is the second mistake?
Well, a subtle one: they kept the RPC idea in SOAP. Backwards compatibility? Not sure, but the RPC literal was there, in SOAP. Worse, the WSDL included that option and WSA did not discouraged the practice! I may think it was because there were tools supporting this and the idea was not banning anyone from using them. So, people started (or continued) using RPC and calling them services!
Is that wrong? Well, a little:
a. The problem is RPC is not Services,
b. RPC does not share the service metaphor,
c, RPC has different implementation side effects,
d. RPC usually forces fine grain while Services try the contrary
e. RPC couples (per method name, parameters and interaction)
f. RPC is in the IT domain, while services should be in the business one (this is a big one).
g. RPC usually works in the distributed environment, but services not are always distributed.
h. RPC forces request-response flow, while services may have any combination of flows.
i. RPC is usually blocking, synchronous. Services are asynchronous per messaging basic concepts.
j. RPC parameters usually require serialization of objects (to be passed as parameters). Services do not even know what objects are nor the parameter concept, they deal with plain messages.
k. In HTTP, as a particular implementation, RPCs mapping of concepts adds overhead to the call, while Services uses HTTP just as a transport and should not add more overhead.
Ok but, what about that? In case the RPC was kept due to tools, the existing tools at that time may be kept as RPC tools, and new tools to work with services and their concepts should had been created. Easy solution.
But that didn't happen.
Actually, the tools took over and started to fight back! There was almost no support for document style. There was an RPC style non encoded. There was no standard way to represent a document (that you can feed the service call with). Yes, the tools claim they supported document style. But when I did some research projects to compare the tools, I found the services created using document styles didn't work at all! I created a service, then I created a client using the same tool, and the client failed talking to the service! I made it work by manually structuring the XML document to have the first element named as the method that implemented the service! It was RPC all along, and since nobody complained, I assume no one was expecting to work document style. Well, there were a few.
But the worst comes afterward, with the creation of the Wrapped and Bare modifiers. They are no were in the WSDL nor the WSA. The wrapped is a way to use document style, but doing what I did manually in the lines above: formatting the XML to reassemble an RPC format message! You know what, testing the BARE modifier yield what I suspected: didn't work.
That means the tools and server vendors are still selling RPC, creating RPC "services" and RPC clients. The ones that supported the document style, did a great job making people stay away from it, like Axis, whose example of RPC is a couple of lines long, but the same example using document style is gross and long, not even I could read.
Ok, granted, the web services implementation are just RPC in disguise. So what? We've been using RPC all our lives and we are happy with it, right?
Well, SOA is a style that looks forward to have its structure and components made out of business functionality. Under that assumption, we can build lots of additional features, like business composition (business processes), orchestration, governance, etc. But, for that we need services as business functionality, decoupled by an uniform interface. RPC adds coupling to the mix, since we are adding the object or library concepts (for many, those two are the same!) , the method invocation interaction, the data coupling in the arguments lists, and the stiffness of non-variable method definitions (just change one argument and all breaks!).
Point (f) above is important. All other features of SOA are built on top of the concept of a business functionality exposed as a service. Governance, composability, visualization, all those work with services, not with function calls. So, as mentioned in point f, what surfaces is IT, not business, and thus the features may not work as expected.
Add to the mix that, to actually create the services, you must be a programmer. Since they reflect the RMI concept, we assume distributions, method and parameter passing knowledge, etc. Even more, the actual code is converted into exposed services, bottom up approach. This will create services shaped as the actual legacy implementation, which may not match the actual business at hand. The top down approach, which should start with the definition of the service at the business domain level, is discouraged. Tools offer not help there (or very little), and only a few architects follow that path. So, the RPC influence is breaking the possibilities of actually taking advantage of the Services metaphor.
Can I say that the whole failure of SOA as a agent of change, an encourager of business over IT in systems, a provider of business valuable concepts like business processes, governance and product composing, is just the intrusion of RPC in the whole dance? May be, but there are other causes as well. Still, SOA may not raise from he tomb if no paradigm shift is achieved.
Wait a minute. REST is in the title, it is another problem in your list? Or is it just the enemy of SOA?
Well, not really. REST is another architectural Style. It was made for a very different problem and I can assure you it is not the replacement of SOA.
It is in the title because of two reasons:
1. People think the problem of SOA were the Web Services using SOAP,
2. and also people believe REST is a simple way of creating the next generation of services.
So, they are adding another point of failure to the new SOA by trying to construct SOA using what they call "RESTFull Services".
Why is it a fail point? I've heard REST services rock!
Well, first I own REST an apology. You see, actually REST has nothing to do with this. The problem is with the wrongly named REST services, which are no more than an API based on HTTP. Now, there could be REST services, but they are much more complex that the ones most people use. And bigger. So, let's simply call those "Not-So-REST Services" as Web API Services, (WAS? Nice acronym, a provider for one of those would be a WASP!).
Well, our WAS are, as usual, more oriented to functional calls (yes, RPC). There could be a way the WAS achieves a truly service meaning, when using HTTP as the messaging transport, and the Hypermedia as the documents. Yep, it is a nice match. But that requires people thinking on documents and interactions through messages, and they are not doing that. If you check, it is the same old RPC story again.
So, what to do then? Are we doomed, I mean, is SOA doomed?
Not really. We need to understand what a service is about, and provide a suitable implementation that allows developers to work with it without mapping. I mean, why does a service need to implemented as an object method call? It breaks the metaphor and thus breaks design and implementation, making it flawed.
I'm working on a DOSE (Document Oriented Service Engine) implementation in Java, WAS and WSA oriented (WSDL 2.0, that is), with no RPC. The programming model should be quite different that the proxy and RPC model, plus a set of articles to show how design using document orientation for services should be done.
So, stay tuned.

Coding vrs Development
Published on February 2nd, 2010 @ 08:40:37 pm , using 937 words, 21487 views
Agile taste for working code over documentation may be misleading to some. As seen in many posts and discussions, it seems that it means no documentation at all for some people. For another group, it means you just need to start coding, nothing else matters. This post is to differentiate plain coding from development, and to explain that working code is more that just executable sentences.
Let's start by saying that code is the description of a solution in some sort of language. I defend the position that the description of a solution may not be executable. That description is to be read sometimes by the machine, some others by humans, and some others by both. The description has to have an abstraction level. That is, based on the approach we use to describe and to whom, it may be machine language (assembler for instance) or a high level code like a DSL. And we don't just write ones and zeros because we will need later to revisit that code, and be able to read it and to make changes. Bear with that in mind for later.
Development is not just coding. It involves finding the why in the business needs and decisions, deciding the how we will solve that, actually describe the solution (to stakeholders and to the executers), and verify that solution meets the needs.
One point to clarify here is the executers concept. A solution is not a chunk of code. A solution may be a complex system, that is software intensive. That means it is not just code, it usually contains processes, people, and many other elements. All together are the solution. And that system is to be built in development, not just the code part.
There are several other tasks that should be performed during the development process. As we deal with humans, you need to have people management. A group has always issues, problems, questions. Also, humans need material to work with. Meetings, information, computers, and many other assets. During the development, several decisions should be made, and not just about code: deliverables, QA scheduling, assignments, feature modifications, priorities, etc.
People needs to communicate. Creation of communications channels, management of those, coordination, moderation, etc. Some voices say all that work should be done by developers themselves. Not so sure about that. Some other say that is not needed, we just need code writers to write code. Not sure that works either.
So, so far, I believe development is far more a complex process that just writing code. And coding is far more complex that just writing an executable set of instructions for a machine (Description of a solution, remember?) Thus, I proclaim that coding is not the same as developing. Let's continue.
Going back to the coding definition. Some people think that a non executable code is waste. Specifically, design is seen as useless documentation, wasted time. Here then I start to defend what we may call design.
Non executable code is that one that describes de solution, but may not be read be a machine and may not be executed by it. As we mentioned before, the executer may not be a machine, but let's assume the executable code is executed by a machine not to mess with concepts. Some of that code is the one generated as strategic and tactical description, aka, architectural description and design. If it is not executable, why do we need that kind of code? There are several reasons:
- The ones to design are the developers, why? Because it is a description of the solution, and thus code.
- Executable code is often done quicker when the ideas and major decisions are already made in the design.
- When code is done, it is usually reviewed and almost always changed to improve it. Describing at design level is quicker than writing low level code, and thus fixes and improvements can be made earlier, saving time and effort (changing executable code, large portions of it, may have a great cost and impact).
- Once done, the executable code should be verified. Checking against a high level description helps to verify. If it is different, then it means either the decision at high level or at low level need a review. It is important that both descriptions are kept in synch.
- Why doing the work twice? Because they are different works. Description at high level is used at some time, and the low level description later. But both are used. Missing one means there is something in development that may have more cost later. See next point.
- Development is never finished with complete code delivery. There are always enhancements, additions, changes. To decide why, how and what, it is always important to know what is done, how and why. Reading machine code means almost impossible changes. Reading executable code is possible, but at high cost. Reading a high level description, that was kept in synch, is great.
- Design is not a documentation process, it is a description process that should be used through the development. If design outcome is not used, the it is waste. Design that is done trying to be complete before operational coding, it will also be a waste of time. Design should be made in regular chunks, not to little ones that misses the tactical view, not so big so that you end up making decisions with not enough information.
So, given the ideas above, I want to proclaim that used design is actually working code, and thus, if well done, complies with Agile thinking.

REST Fans Categories
Published on December 12th, 2009 @ 02:53:57 pm , using 1019 words, 16765 views
First of all, let's clarify a couple of things.
1. This post is not intended to list "bad ways" of thinking about REST, but to list the actual way people really think about it. Some of them are perfectly correct per REST constrains.
2. From articles, presentations, discussions and the like, I extracted commons ways of thinking, and tried to categorize them. So, this is a totally subjective classification.
So, let's start.
People know about REST. Many are trying to get into the REST world for the first time, some other have more flight hours, still not so many had read Roy's dissertation. Even more, some of the ones that actually read the dissertation, may think about REST in different ways.
Usually, when in a discussion, the same concept may be understood differently by the participants, which yields in non-useful conclusions. This may be actually true about REST. That is why I composed the following list of "ways people understand REST". The list may help the reader to find out where he stands in understanding REST, and how may other people understand it. Also, it may show how some people is using REST.
First, an cautionary word: the names I use are not intended to make fun of people, but to be easy to remember.
The list is divided into three major groups: The API makers, the Mappers and the Fad Followers. This last one may seem a bad one, but it is actually a normal one, trust me many people fall in it.
Then, each group contains categories. Those categories may be present in more than one group, since the characteristics may fit both groups. Finally, people may fit in more than one category, since the work is complex in the world of REST to reduced to just one characteristic.
Here is the list.
Major Groups 1: API Makers.
People in this group I find them everywhere. Most of the time they have a system, usually not built thinking on REST at first (REST as an afterthought), and they want an API created to access that system. They usually think about REST like an API making technique or recipe, for the web.
- URI Jugglers. These are the ones that think REST is all about creating URIs, and nothing more. So their discussions are solely focused on URIs, and their presentations are about URIs definitions. One way of spotting this category is when the application API is documented as a URI construction process using templates
- RPCers. This group think REST is a way to map RPC in disguise using URIs in a web API. The most of them don't know they speak RPC at all. Easily spotted when you see the API defined as a set of calls using a URI construction. Most typical is a URI format that includes the actual method name or action, followed by several parameters. There are many of them coming from SOAP based web services (the RPC kind), that made the change believing is easier to define the RPC call in a simple URI than using the complex SOAP envelope.
- Exposers: This type is repeated below. Those are the guys that think you need to expose things in REST using resources. So REST is an API for exposing things on the web. They usually look for objects or domain entities, but mostly processes or methods, and expose them using a URI formatted call. The slight difference with the RPCers, is that the exposers may not use RPC, but still expose the processes and entities through an API.
- CRUDers: Another repeated group. They think REST is a web API for CRUD. The similarities of the HTTP operations and the CRUD ones, plus the reference of resources as Data elements, support this way of viewing REST.
Second Group: Mappers.
This other group may use the API idea, but they actually think REST is a way of representing things and thus the work to be done is to map everything using that new way. Interesting?
- CRUDers. Again, the idea is that CRUD operations can be mapped naturally to HTTP operations, and that makes it RESTful.
- HTTPers. They believe REST is HTTP. Deep enough. This category is hard to spot, since many people talking about REST implementation may talk much about HTTP, but think REST is far more than just the protocol.
- Exposers. Again too. They usually try to map all classes, data entities, elements into resources, and then call their systems RESTful. This category includes people that take into account REST constrains, and also people that just maps the domain to resources.
Third Group: FAD followers.
This is a group that is identified by themselves. That is, they expose what they think explicitly. Usually, they tend to follow a lead or the current business idea.
- Standard Haters: Here you have all those that think Standards are evil and that REST is an anarchy where you have the freedom to do whatever you like, so they follow REST doing whatever they want.
- KISS lovers. These are the ones that like things to be simple. And someone told them REST is easy, so they follow doing easy things with URIs. There are lots of URI jugglers in this group. People here may not follow all REST constrains when they get complex enough. The idea is to keep the API or system with not much complexity.
- Servicers. They think Services is good, and someone told them REST is a way to do services without SOAP. So they follow. There are several RESTFull service creation techniques. Many RPCers in this category too.
- BuzzWorders. This is a vast majority. They like buzz words, so they follow REST just because it is cool and all people talk about it.
Is there some one I'm missing? Well, yes, probably the group that knows REST as it actually is and understands it. That may be a one person group (yes Roy).
What do you think? Do you find yourself in any of those groups? Which other category may you add?

The Agile missing point and the Waterfall Illusion.
Published on November 25th, 2009 @ 09:43:26 pm , using 1324 words, 51020 views
What if everybody is wrong? Well, not everybody, but majority.
Reading Kelly Water's Post about "Agile Project Management: Avoiding The Waterfall" I came to think about this. Almost nobody claims today that they are following waterfall, because of the very bad connotation that word now has, but not actually because they understand what are they doing. Same thing for Agile followers.
From the post, I rescue that any process that has phases reassembles a waterfall. From actual presentations, blogs and discussions, Agile often means just following methodologies like Scrum, Lean or XP. Now I question: are we right about this? Let me see if we are, or not.
Waterfall is a term, it seems nobody knows who coined it, related to a phased methodology. Dr. Winston W. Royce wrote about it (without given that name), describing an ideal form that was not so good. The phases were the requirements gathering, analysis on those requirements, system design, coding, testing and operation. The ideal was each step may iteratively cycle with the next down and the next up, in little steps. The flaw was it was usually the case that testing will not just go back to coding, but it may go up till design, and from there, jump back to requirements gathering again. That flaw (the large back jump) was caused not because the phases, but because the testing phase is where the actual product is finally validated against design and requirements.
The problem is, there is no solution to this. We can dilute or minimize the impact of the testing findings, using several techniques, but we cannot avoid it. At any level, team or individual, the same steps are repeated: I see what it is needed, I analyze what is possible, I think on how to do it, I do it and finally I check if it works. That can describe the process of developer creating a simple three line method! That is, phased development is there, everywhere, and that is not the problem. The problem is when that phased process is done in a way that the impact of facing reality with needs is too big that multiplies the work and the cost of the back jump.
So, the waterfall illusion is when you think that rain is not a waterfall, simply because the raindrops are so tiny you don't see them fall individually. But they fall anyway. It means, people that think eliminating the analysis and design steps and jump into coding breaks the phased process, I'm sorry, it doesn't, it may avoid a large body of water fall into one place, but will make millions of little bodies fall everywhere. See the point?
Ok, there is another idea into this, and that is to make the water flow up. You start coding, with no idea of what you need, and then the phases are completed backwards. (Hey! If you want to start really backwards, then start by testing! Oh, yes, we have TDD). The code will make a design "emerge". The next logical steps if to create requirements that match the design. Well, I guess that does not work. In that case, the requirements are still presented before coding. So the new phases are: requirements, coding, design, testing. Or, requirements, testing, coding, design, testing, coding, design, etc. Anyway, we always have phases.

Willy's SOA Manifesto
Published on October 25th, 2009 @ 08:40:23 pm , using 491 words, 29940 views
Yep, my own. Although it may have some shared ideas, this is not a group agreement, nor the savior of what is now known as SOA (which is what is being done so far), nor something made for others to follow. It is just what I believe, what I follow, and what I teach each time I can.
So, here it is.
1. Commons.
a. SOA is an acronym composed of the words Service Oriented Architecture, which relates to an architectural style that is based on the rules of the service metaphor.
b. A Metaphor is an application of the figure of speech concept to the IT design discipline. Using metaphors in architectural design actually refers to observing the rules of behavior of a particular entity in the business domain, and mimic them with an architectural element.
c. A Service is conceived as a cohesive (and coherent) business functionality, technologically neutral, offered through a uniform interface. A Service is a plain, homonymous metaphor of a business service.
d. For an architecture, Orientation describes the guidelines, principles and decisions that are based on the rules that govern the metaphor behavior.
e. The Architecture refers to an actual style that defines the architectural constrains, suitability and consequences of using it.
From (a) to (e) :
SOA is an architectural style whose components, constrains and principles
are driven by the service metaphor.
2. Delta
By definition, and in contra-position from some usual implementation, SOA IS NOT:
a. An Indirection Layer for interoperability.
b. A Decoration Wrap for legacy code accessibility.
c. A Component from a whole that represents one architecture instance
d. A Service Group or container of services
e. A Business Process Container.
f. A Modernization Agent
g. An Object Distribution Technology
h. An Antagonist of REST
i. A ROI salvation
j. A Way of Life, A Philosophy of Doing or a Trend (It is an architecture style!)
Corollary of (j): SOA cannot be killed, it cannot just die.
It can be suitable for a problem or not.
By definition, and in contra-position from some usual implementation, Services ARE NOT:
a. Necessarily Web Services as defined in the WSA.
b. Ways to implement RPC nor RMI.
c. Exposed Methods or Objects.
d. Defined by the process they execute
e. Necessarily Stateless (YES, they should not necessarily be Stateless).
3. Principles.
Whenever there is the opportunity when working with SOA, people should
a. Favor Business Value exposed in the business domain OVER Business Value exposed with IT domain.
b. Favor Composability OVER Integration through Interoperability, AND favor Integration through Interoperability INSTEAD of Distribution.
c. Favor Metaphor rules INSTEAD of Tool rules
d. Favor Pure Document Style INSTEAD of RPC/RMI style. (NO WRAP TRICKS ALLOWED)
e. Favor Messaging OVER Other communication options.
f. Favor Business needs OVER specific IT practices (like optimization or flexibility)
g. Favor Entity documents OVER commanding documents
h. Favor Versionable documents OVER Structurally static documents.
So it is written.

Auburn staff update: Bisaccia, staff salaries & roles
Just a couple of weeks ago, it looked like new Auburn coach Gus Malzhan was done courting coaches and could focus on finishing out the Tigers' recruiting class.
Malzahn had put together what looked to be an outstanding staff, and the group was working hard to salvage a recruiting class filled with star-studded players that were wavering in the aftermath of the Gene Chizik debacle.
Along came the Dallas Cowboys to complicate things.
Jason Garrett is looking for a special teams coach, and Rich Bisaccia, who was recently hired by Malzhan as assistant head coach, running backs coach and special teams coordinator, is one of the best around. Bisaccia coached special teams for the San Diego Chargers from 2010-12, and with Tampa Bay from 2002-10, where he won a Super Bowl.
The Cowboys interviewed Alan Lowry and Bruce DeHaven, who both coached Dallas' special teams previously, but have focused on Bisaccia as their target. Bisaccia met with the Cowboys and is said to be strongly considering their offer.
Bisaccia was on the road recruiting for Auburn last night, and reportedly visited with Derrick Green, considered the nation's No. 1 running back prospect who is considering Auburn and Michigan, but thought to be leaning to the Wolverines.
Bisaccia is expected to make a decision regarding the Cowboys' offer quickly. Financial details of the Dallas offer are not known at this time. If he chooses to remain at Auburn, he is set to make $500,000 next year.
Below is a look at all of Malzahn's staff, their roles and salaries:
[colored_box color="blue"]Ellis Johnson, Defensive Coordinator: $800,000
Former Southern Miss head coach
Rodney Garner, Associate Head Coach, Recruiting Coordinator, Defensive Line: $500,000

Keep out of reach of children. As with all dietary supplements, consult your healthcare professional before use. See product label for more information.
This is best nail polish remover, it does a good job of removing any color nail polish quickly and cleanly. It moisturizes the skin around the nails.
Great product with great price. I was pleasantly surprised how fast this remover worked, is faster then any other that I have try..
It requires several coats and it is tricky to get it on without the streaking, took a little practice. Didn't last though. After only two days big BIG pieces started chipping off. Now I'm finding the bad part about putting all those coats on to make it not look streaky is it's really difficult to get it off. It chips off but is difficult to get all of it off even with using acetone polish remover and soaking which then makes the nail dry out! So now I have little pieces that will not come off on just about every toe! Chipping after just two days along with this much trouble getting it off makes it not worth the $9 purchase price!!
Smells and acts like super glue. Dreadful to apply. Streaky and extremely hard to remove. Threw it away after two uses.

The religious people are freaking out that they're going to have to violate their belief systems to accommodate something they feel is wrong. In America, we have, enshrined in our constitution, freedom of religious belief and practice. The government cannot enact a law that violates the freedom of religious people to believe and act as they see fit, so long as they are not inciting or engaging in violence. That's the way it should be. As Qwerty said, if you don't like something your religion does, get a different religion and go somewhere else. Forcing the issue that religious organizations condone behavior they do not with to condone makes gays, atheists, etc. look bad, and I think the fight should be dropped and let them have their exceptions. I think the exception is a good thing.
Seriously, I'm not playing devil's advocate or anything. I think it's wrong to require people to violate their own non-violent beliefs, even if those beliefs are stupid.

|Jessie Huff, coordinator for the area's Wear Red Day, works with volunteer Cathy Martinez. The event raised awareness of heart disease and stroke among women.
Southeastern Utah District Health Department joined other communities and companies across the nation wearing Feb. 4 to support the American Heart Association's Wear Red Day event and increase awareness of heart disease and stroke, the No. 1 and No. 3 killers of women.
In addition, Gold Medal School faculty, Castleview Hospital staff and CEU staff were supplied with Red Dress Pins as well as educational information regarding women and heart disease.
"We're trying to change the idea that heart disease and stroke are just men's diseases." said Dave Cunningham, local health department health officer. "Many women may think they just don't need to worry about the diseases, but the truth is, heart disease and stroke kill more women than men in Utah."
Being overweight or obese, having high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes and smoking can increase the risk for heart disease and stroke. Women also can have different risk factors and warning signs than men do:
High blood pressure is common in women taking oral contraceptives, especially in obese and older women, than in women not taking them.
Fifty-seven percent of Utah women are overweight or obese.
More than a third of Utah women age 50 and older have been diagnosed with high cholesterol.
Women with diabetes are two to four times more likely to have heart disease or stroke than women without diabetes.
Symptoms of heart attack for women are more likely to include pain or discomfort in other areas of the body besides the chest, such as one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach. Nausea is common too.
Southeastern Utah District Health Department is making efforts not only to educate women about changes they can make in their lifestyles, but also to make it easier for their families to include physical activity and nutrition in their daily routines. For example, SEUDHD's Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Program is in their third year of working with the Utah Department of Health through their Physical Activity Grant Awards. The program has been actively involved with supplemental funding to Helper City for the Western Mining and Railroad Project; Carbon County Recreation for improvement to Spring Canyon Trail; Moab City to improve the Trail Mix Project; and Price City for improvements and development of the Price City Detention Basin Park Walking Trail.
SEUDHD is also supportive to many schools in the district whom are involved in the Gold Medal School Initiative; the program encourages policy and environmental changes within the school atmosphere to create opportunities for students and faculty to make healthier choices, be more physically active and to be smoke free.

Simple to use, mix a little bit in with the provided bottle (great idea BRS) and squirt in your tank. Excellent Product By Todd on 9/6/2014 Todd would recommend this product to a friend I had been using another brand of coral food recommended by my LFS with ok results.

|Evaluation of a Harm Reduction Treatment for Methamphetamine-Using Men Who Have Sex With Men (MSM)
- stimulant use (measured via self-report and urine toxicology screening) [ Time Frame: 3 and 6 month follow-ups ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Participants will complete a self-report measure that assesses substance use during the past month. We will examine the total number of days that stimulants (cocaine, crack, or methamphetamine) were used during the past month. We will also conduct urine toxicology screening to determine whether participants test positive for cocaine or methamphetamine metabolites at each study visit. This is an objective measure of recent stimulant use (i.e., during the past 72 hours).
- sexual risk taking [ Time Frame: 3 and 6 month follow-ups ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Sexual risk taking will be assessed using a measure that allows our team to examine risk as a function of HIV status, partner type (i.e., insertive or receptive), and whether the participant was under the influence of methamphetamine. Sex risk for HIV-negative men will be defined as any unprotected anal intercourse, irrespective of the HIV serostatus of sex partners. Sex risk for HIV-positive men will be defined as unprotected anal intercourse with HIV-negative or unknown serostatus partners.

Financial Services
BVP has decades of experience investing in the financial-services industry. As far back as the 1970s Bessemer invested in bank services roll-ups. Since the 1980s and 1990s, Bessemer has been an active investor in banks. And in the last ten years, the firm has become increasingly active in areas as diverse as capital-markets technology, wealth management, specialty finance, proprietary trading and research. Bessemer invests in financial-services companies across stage and geography. Members of the team have each spent several years working in the financial- services industry prior to joining the firm. With our expertise, experience and an extensive network of contacts throughout the industry, we can understand and anticipate the changes occurring in this rapidly evolving sector.
Most of our financial-services focus is concentrated in three major areas: asset management and personal finance; trading technology; and research and information services. All three industries are in the midst of fundamental change driven by technology.
In the asset-management and personal-finance sector, we have watched a generation of investors lose their confidence in a financial system marked by volatile markets and, often, imprudent advice from so-called "experts". We believe small investors have been poorly served by the existing wealth-management industry and that a new generation of businesses, leveraging technology and transparency, will be built to provide best-in-class service to clients regardless of their level of wealth.
The trading technology space has evolved dramatically over the last decade. Spreads and commissions have narrowed, brining trading costs down. At the same time, market volume has increased, driven in part by the introduction of high-frequency trading. New securities of increasing complexity have entered the market. We believe there is an opportunity for new companies to provide a new class of infrastructure to address the rapidly evolving capital markets.
Research and information services have grown in importance as more information has become available to market participants. We believe investment returns increasingly depend on access to proprietary information and an investor's ability to parse that information quickly. Investors have begun to demand greater accountability from their information providers and more transparency to ensure freedom from conflicts. So we believe there are opportunities for innovative companies to enter the market by providing new types of information to investors or by providing research or information that is more accurate, transparent and reliable than existing products in the market.

My grandmother is Leona May Mallory, daughter of Rufus Mallory and Bertha Pearl Fitzgerald-Mallory. I would love to tell the story of our family to you, I think you will be amazed. I can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com
- Melodee Mallory RayAugust 3, 2010 at 3:23 PM
My grandmother was Lou Fitzgerald Mallory, wife of Omer Lee Mallory and my father was Bobby Lee Mallory. My mother was Mary Margaret Mallory. My daughter discovered this web site and was thrilled at the beautiful pictures of my parents and her grandparents and all the Mallory monuments. There are lots more of our family with older headstones on the other side of the cemetery opposite the ones you have pictured. The Mallory family has been in Brad for many years and is an awesome and amazing family!ReplyDelete
Melodee, thanks so much for writing. I met Shanda Livingston who also commented about her Mallory family here and on Facebook. We had the pleasure of meeting at my home several weeks later. She told me a lot about the Mallorys and showed me an actual schematic of the cemetery plots. It showed where the other members of your family are buried. It was fantastic. I am going to try to get there again one day when it is cooler. I am so glad you like my blog and the pictures. I tried to honor those whom the tombstones represent.ReplyDelete

Rated 2.5 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by dogman medicine for bad back, best maintenance workout This is my second one. Bought to keep in motor home for on the road back tune ups. Used in conjunction with Physical therapy for once broken back. Can't be comfortable without it . June 5, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Yann great idea but a poor execution The peanut shape is not symmetrical which makes using it difficult. The asymmetry is rather extreme making one side much larger and the whole product twists to one side along it's axis. I also own the small neck peanut and again; the idea is great but the item is asymmetrical. April 25, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by macspop Not as shown The fully inflated ball was about half of the size pictured. Works great if you're 4"10" or under. December 27, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Colie Ball size feedback After blowing up the ball I was shocked in the difference of the size they are showing in the pictures and dvd Vs. what you get. The dvd is a good workout, however the models are either using a larger size ball or may be short in height. . . I'm 5"8 and it barley comes up to my hip. On the dvd the instructor's ball is coming up to her belly bottom almost below her chest. So I was disappointed in that, just be aware. January 12, 2014

Why does the DVD not work?
3 years, 6 months ago
Number One Contributor
Answer:Thank you for your inquiry regarding Gaiam's line of media products. Unfortunately, due to the nature of computers and their operating systems, there are a variety of factors that can contribute to a DVD not responding in a computer's DVD drive. To determine if the DVD is defective, we suggest inputting it into a standard DVD player. If the DVD plays in a stand-alone DVD player, we advise you to contact a computer specialist to rectify any compatibility issues that might exist. If the DVD fails to operate in your stand-alone player, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-869-3446 and we can replace the disc for you.
3 years, 6 months ago
I can see that several people have already asked this question, however I don't think a direct answer was given.
I have inflated my fitness ball to the point where it can no longer be inflated and the height of the ball is greater than 55cm.

I have inflated my fitness ball to the point where it can no longer be inflated and the height of the ball is greater than 55cm. However, the ball looks considerably smaller than the one on the cover of the box and the one used in the DVD as several people have mentioned already. Was a larger ball used in the DVD to make it easier for people to follow or can my ball be inflated more?

Answer:The ball used in the video will be the same ball. Our balance balls do take some time to reach full capacity. It will take a few weeks for the ball to stretch. Continue to add air to the ball and measure the height until it reaches its full capacity. We apologize for any inconvenience.

I just purchased the easy balance ball and did the first segment of the workout DVD included in the box- the actual ball does measure 55 cm (I measured it at 29 inches, which, I think, is actually longer than 55 cm) but the easy balance ball used in the DVD and on the box cover is obviously much larger than 55 cm. The exercises did seem to work with the smaller easy balance ball, but it felt strange trying to follow the DVD with such a different-sized product. Is there a reason why the box cover and DVD product is so much larger than the actual product?

Answer:The height at the ends of the ball are what should be 55 cm not the length. Sometimes when they are coming out of the package the need a day to expand. The easiest way to make sure they are properly inflated is to take a measuring tape and measure out 55 cm away from a wall and place a book or object at that point. Then take the ball with the length running along the wall and pump until the ball is 55 cm wide. This should make the ball much larger if it doesn't please contact me at email@example.com so I can further investigate the rest of our inventory. We haven't had any other complaints along these lines so if your ball is defective we should be able to replace it.

I need to inflate my ball more because its not the size shown on the cover...what is the easiest way to remove the plug?
3 years, 11 months ago
Number One Contributor
Answer:I usually recommend using a coin, or the flat side of a butter knife to help lift the plug up. Take the flat edge of your choice and stick it between the plug and the ball. Then wiggle your flat edge until the plug comes up enough to grip it with your fingers to pull it out.

How big should this ball be?
I just purchased this ball from Target today. I filled it up as much as I could, and it looks downright tiny in comparison to the photos on the box, and especially compared to the ball used on the DVD. Mine is barely long enough to reach to my mid-thigh (I'm 5'4") and, well...it just doesn't seem big enough. Both my husband and I inflated it and inflated it...and it just won't get any bigger. When fully inflated, what should the dimensions be?

Number One Contributor
Answer:When the ball is laying on the ground like shown in the photo it should be 55 cm tall. The easiest way to insure it is properly inflated is to go to a wall and measure 55cm out and then place a book or object at that point. Then place the ball with the length running along the wall and between the object and inflate until the ball touches the wall and the object. Sometimes new balls need a while to relax so give it another try and you should find it inflates the rest of the way. If it doesn't please exchange the ball with Target as it is defective. If they are unable to assist you please let our customer service department know and they will have another one sent to you.

DEEP CREEK, Florida (WBBH) -- A Florida neighborhood is losing ground in a battle with wild boars.
For nearly two years the animals have been invading parts of the Deep Creek area leaving a path of destruction behind. Now, the pigs may pose a health hazard after leaders discovered the animals are carrying diseases.
"As soon as you spend the money to fix it, they come back and do it again the next day," explains Kim Jakubaitis, the Section 20 Property Owner's Association manager.
She's been fighting the problem for two years, with very few results. A trapper has even caught 200 pigs, but they keep coming back.
"It's frustrating for everybody," Jakubaitis says.
This month, the property owner's association got bad news: Some of the animals are infected with brucellosis and pseudo rabies which can be passed along to humans and pets.
"Now you're not only dealing with the damage that's being done, you're dealing with the possible health hazard to humans and their animals," Jakubaitis says.

Vale suspends Rio Colorado potash project (updated)
March 11, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
Vale said Monday that it had informed the Argentinean government that is suspending work on a potash project at Rio Colorado, Argentina. The company says that the project is not "in line with Vale's commitment to discipline in capital allocation and value creation" in the current macroeconomic environment. Vale says it is evaluating alternatives to improve the economics of the project, and could reevaluate the decision. A report from Brazilian newspaper Folha de S. Paulo said earlier Monday that Vale was considering abandoning the Rio...

Whether they're filming on location, jaunting between coasts, or just checking out the latest international hotspots, our favorite fashionable ladies are always packing their bags for trips galore. These seasoned travelers know exactly what to wear when embarking on an excursion, but for the rest of us, creating an outfit that's pragmatic and chic is about as easy as getting an unrequested upgrade to first class. The struggle is over, dear readers, because today we'll show you how to mark up your passport in style. From layovers marked with Louis Vuitton (à la Miranda Kerr) to transatlantic flights in a trench (per Kate Hudson), our picks for What They Wore: Airports are prime examples of how to look like a trendsetter-even in an airport terminal. Now, without further ado, we invite you to sit back, relax, and enjoy a little in-flight inspiration.
Miranda Kerr
Australian stunner Miranda Kerr is a knockout on several fronts: in addition to being outrageously beautiful, she's also mastered the high/low fashion mix. Seen here en route to her homeland, Kerr chose an easy black jersey dress for the foundation of her outfit, which she toughened up with a high-impact Doma Leather Bomber ($547) and a fail-safe pair of Chloe boots. Like many of our other spotlighted jetsetters, Kerr added a dash of personality to her outfit via well-chosen accessories, including a vintage scarf and a Del Moro chapeau. Delia's Sara Plaid Scarf ($20) and Manhattan's Panama Hat ($88) remind us of Kerr's selections.
The fusion of fluorescent lighting and airplane air can suck the style out of the best of us, but, despite these glaring odds, Rihanna manages to travel flawlessly. The popstar started with classic pair of J Brand Cigarette Leg Jeans ($159), then added Marley's Stripe Button Shoulder Sweater ($295) and some nineties-inspired Samantha Sunglasses ($310) by AM Eyewear. We love the one-two punch of the graphic accessory and top: it's casually cool and totally memorable.
Anne Hathaway
When it comes to glamorous globetrotting, Anne Hathaway is certainly one to watch. Like many of our other stylish-celebrity references, Hathaway knows that an on-the-go girl needs a great trench (in this case, the Degradé Heritage Trench ($2395) by Burberry Prorsum). In addition to picking the perfect outerwear piece, Hathaway also makes smart accessory choices. Her dark brown Frye Harness Boots ($208) and fringed scarf, similar to Sir Alistair Rai's Raj Karma Scarf ($122), transform a basic outfit into an interesting one. Last, but not least, she slicked on a fresh coat of bright lipstick: it's the perfect finishing touch for her fuss-free, polished look.
Kate Hudson
Kate Hudson is known for her bohemian style and always creates outfits that have a wonderfully global vibe. So it's no surprise that she turned up at Los Angeles International Airport looking worldly and chic in a classic Rag and Bone Great Trench, which is available in navy cotton ($598) or gray silk ($735). We love the way she rolled up her sleeves and added an oversized Native American-inspired bracelet: these two small tweaks modernize the timeless trench. You can find a cuff that's just as covetable on sites like eBay.com, where we found this deliciously lovely Navajo Turquoise Bracelet ($90). Hudson completed her travel ensemble with a bright white scarf and matching pair of sunglasses. We suggest combining Emporio Armani's Embossed Scarf ($195) and Ray-Ban's
Oversized Sunglasses ($139) to create your own version of Hudson's style.
Chloe Sevigny
Not even jet lag can curb Chloe Sevigny's cool! Seen here arriving at Miami International Airport, the high-class hipster hit just the right note in Levi's 522 Jeans ($98) in Kayo and a simple black cardigan. Though it's obscured in the image above, she's also carrying a timeless L.L. Bean Boat Tote ($24)-an excellent travel choice! Of course, Sevigny always turns up the volume on an otherwise casual look by incorporating an unexpected element. In this case, the mystery flair comes courtesy of a vintage Misfits concert t-shirt. Scout your local thrift stores for an exact match or swap in the Debbie Harry Tee ($20) from 2K by Gingham Janette Beckman.
Charlize Theron
When we were considering potential candidates for this travel attire story, Charlize Theron immediately came to mind. The actress repeatedly wowed us with her airport panache: no small feat for a transatlantic flier! Seen here at LAX, Theron looked neat and comfortable in an oversized, tailored jacket, similar to Acqua's Boyfriend Blazer ($108). Her dark blue scarf gives her outfit a little texture and wards off chill on an air-conditioned plane. (Try the Tonal Check Scarf ($295) by Burberry, we love its stormy hues.) Finally, she opted for a delightful pair of Converse Sequined Sneakers ($82), which give her otherwise low-key look a hint of sparkle.
Whitney Port
The City's Whitney Port is a WhoWhatWear.com reader favorite for her ability to translate trends into wonderfully wearable outfits and the way she looks fresh faced at all times-even in the airport. Recently, she was spotted in the baggage claim wearing an Opening Ceremony Cropped Cable Crewneck Sweater ($200) and pair of Current/Elliott Boyfriend Jeans ($224) in the Natural Denim Destroy wash, both wonderfully laidback selections. As much as we like these relaxed pieces, we were particularly intrigued by her footwear choice: Minnetonka's Kilty Unbeaded Moccasins ($39). The super-soft suede flats easily slip on and off, so they're an ideal choice for long-distance flights.
Scarlett Johansson
As Scarlett Johansson demonstrated at the London airport, when it comes to on-trend travel ensembles, layers are key. The silver screen siren paired an American Apparel Unisex Salt and Pepper Hoodie ($42) with a tan trench (DKNYC's Trench Coat ($199) has a similar shape), for a cozy, comfortable look. She enlivened her neutral ensemble with a bright scarf-we're fans of Love Quotes' Handknotted Fringe Scarf ($88) in sunny yellow-and added a bit of interest with a pair of cropped booties, like Miz Mooz's Felicity 80's Boot ($94).
Nicky Hilton
Spotted en route to Miami, Nicky Hilton showed that she isn't afraid to go for sporty comfort at the airport. In her Blue & Cream Lampton's Hoodie ($150) and classic Nike Dunk High Be True iD Shoes ($140), Hilton showcases the perfect alternative to the velour track suit-a traveling trend we wish we'd never see again! Her carry-on is a large monogrammed Goyard St. Louis Tote, which is the perfect size for storing all the essentials you need on a coast-to-coast flight. -Liza Kaplan

Based on an incredibly informal poll-a recent reading of Us Weekly with our beaux commenting over our shoulders-we've noticed that the fellows have affinity for certain celebs that we just don't get ("You like her? In that outfit? WHY???"). So naturally we thought that celebrity street style would make for a perfect A Guy's Opinion. Today's John Doe, Michael, 29, is a reality television producer. And before you can say BlindDateWhat? we must assure you that the fellow in question works on one of television's most stylish shows. Read on to find out if our Guy thinks the above outfits are in or out...1. If I saw a girl wearing this in high school, I would still dream about her to this day. The pants are well tailored and stay away from the skinny jean trend, the shirt has Kate MossÂ' iconic pout strewn across it, and the hat with the hair just says, Â"We can go to a movie, a poetry slam or your basement. Whatever.Â" But the clincher, the small touch that would leads to years of therapy (a la John Cusack in Grosse Pointe Blank), is the red lips.
2. Let me be completely honest here, those shoes, when not placed on a womanÂ's foot, are structurally and aesthetically sexy (maybe itÂ's the S&M and not the H&M in me). But when said shoe is placed on an actual foot, that woman begins to resemble a goat. A female goat, yes, but a goat none-the-less. The rest, you ask? The hat: ill fitting and played out (hence, why I wear one). The scarf: also played out and not working. The purse? Unless she is smuggling a severed head in it, it's just, for the lack of a better word, dumb. And IÂ'm sure it cost more than I make in a year.
3. This is how my brain worked on this picture after I got past that I'm looking at Natalie Portman: Is she trying to look like Victorian soldier who just traded her mink muff for one of the Â"nativesÂ" maize pouches while on her way to work as a junior exec at JP Morgan? If so, mission accomplished. I will say, however, her shoes and pants are undeniably classic and for Beautiful Girls and Leon: the Professional, I will always forgive something like this being worn by Ms. Portman.
4. "Hello? 911? You have to help me. I have no idea where I am, I think someone drugged me and put me in orthopedic clown shoes and for some reason my dress isn't working? I don't know why, it's a decent shape, though a bit muumuu-y, and a fairly safe print, though colored like Grey Poupon. Wait, it could be worse, I could have leggings on and not wearing cool shades. Thank you, 911." That said, I like spring dress, but when the dress you are wearing weighs as much as you do, the look isn't flattering.

The Evans Mills fire chief has been arrested on three felony charges accusing him of having a sexual relationship with a teenage girl.
Shawn R. Rutmanis, 42, town of Philadelphia, was charged Tuesday afternoon by the Jefferson County Sheriffs Department with first-degree criminal sexual act, third-degree criminal sexual act and third-degree sexual abuse.
According to a news release, Mr. Rutmanis is accused of having sex with the girl over a seven-month period when she was 15 and 16 years old.
The arrest was the culmination of a two-month investigation by the Sheriffs Department detective division after the girl made a complaint, Investigator Judy G. Goodman said.
The girl is not involved in the fire department, she said. The incidents allegedly occurred in an Eagle Avenue residence that Mr. Rutmanis owns.
Investigators used a controlled phone call between the victim and the fire chief to verify the relationship, Ms. Goodman said.
Fire Commissioner Thomas F. Newberry said Wednesday that the department has been unable to contact the fire chief and talk to him about the situation.
It will be up to the fire commissioners to decide what action will be taken against the chief, but they need to get all of the facts regarding the situation first, Mr. Newberry said.
It came as a total surprise to all of us on this end, he said. I dont know much and the fire commissioners are working diligently to get to the bottom of this. Action will be taken at some point.
Mr. Rutmanis was arraigned in Philadelphia Town Court by Judge Jessie M. Scheer, who set bail at $500. The Jefferson County district attorneys office had requested $30,000 bail.
Mr. Rutmanis posted bail and is awaiting grand jury action, the Sheriffs Department said.
Mr. Newberry said the same level of fire protection will be maintained for the community, with the departments fire assistants assuming more of a leadership role.
Mr. Rutmanis, a member of the fire department for about seven years, was appointed chief in January.

Welcome to my website.
I have been researching the Swing Riots of 1830-1831 for over 30 years. I am interested in the riots and the people involved, both the rioters and those whose machine were broken, and whose corn and hay ricks were burnt. During this time I have collected a lot of information, and I have been lucky enough to make contact with a number of people who are related to those involved, and they have been kind enough to share their research with me. As far as I am aware I do not have a Swing Rioter among my ancestors, the nearest I can come are ancestors who lived in Bibury, Gloucestershire, when machines were broken there.
I am now offering a Machine Breakers Search Service, which means if you are just interested in a particular person who was involved in the Swing Riots I can now provide a printout of all the information I have on that person. For more information on this service follow the News link on the Sitemap page.
Although I began researching the riots before 1980 it was not until 1990 that the first county volume, covering Hampshire was published. It was almost the size of a telephone directory and very heavy to post! The books published since then have been A5 in size but can still be rather heavy when it comes to posting them. So far I have published accounts of the riots and rioters for the following counties: -
Berkshire (still out of print I'm afraid), Buckingamshire, Dorset, Essex, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Kent, and Wiltshire.
Although not published yet I do have a lot of information for Huntingdon, and Oxfordshire, and quite a bit on the rioters from Sussex, Suffolk and Norfolk, and I hope to get round to publishing volumes covering all these couties eventually.
It was my research into the Swing Riots that led to an interest in the transportation of convicts to Australia, particularly juveniles. I started by transcribing the Hulk Register, held at The National Archives, for the Bellerophon and the Euryalus, where many of the boys were held prior to transportation. I have now completed this work and the results can now be found on www.findmypast.co.uk.
The Convict Hulk Registers have been available on www.ancestry.co.uk for some time now, and as a subscriber to Ancestry, I was delighted to see this addition to their collection, but disappointed when I discovered that many of the Swing Rioters who I knew had been held on board the York before being transported had been index on board the Hardy. I did report this mistake as soon as I noticed it, but to date it has not been corrected. It is because of this that I transcribed the Hulk Registers for the Hardy, which can now also be found on Findmypast. I have continued indexing the Prison Hulk Registers and the following were added recently: - The Bermuda Hulks (Antelope, Dromedary, Coromandel & Weymouth) in HO7/3, and Captivity & Discovery. I am now working on the Warrior.
I hope you are able to find something useful in the pages that follow. I would love to hear from you if you are connected in any way to one of the Swing Rioters, or someone whose property was attacked during the riots, or if one of the boys held on board the Bellerophon or Euryalus is among your ancestors, and look forward to hearing from you if I be of any help.
Not all of the pages available appear on the tabs above but if you click on the Sitemap tab this will list all the pages. You can also use the search box to find out if a particular name or place appears on any of the pages. Many of the pages are still under construction and I am in the process of updating others, so please call back again if you do not find what you are looking for on your fist visit.
Please check out my new website, I'd love to hear what you think of it. - http://www.black-sheep-search.co.uk
