I know there are hundreds of threads out there on adjusting STI rear derailleurs, but I haven't found exactly my (probably trivial) "problem" and so it might be easier to just ask again.
Please don't laugh at my 7-speed 105 setup. It's on my 12 year old Air Friday (which also has a 3-speed internal Sachs rear hub). but I took it out of it's case for it's annual check up and before I pack it away for another year, I would like to get it shifting correctly.
I know the basics of STI RD adjusting: drop to smallest rear, click up to 2nd smallest rear, barrel adjust til just making noise against the 3rd, roll it back half a turn.
But here's my result (and please excuse my nontechnical terminology).
* Drop it down into the smallest rear.
* One Click up to the 2nd-smallest.
* Barrel adjust to noise point, then back.
* It then shifts smoothly 3,4,5,6... up to the biggest rear (#7).
* BUT then it needs 2 clicks to drop down to the 2nd-largest rear (#6).
* then it clicks smoothly down to the 2nd smallest (#2) but won't drop back into the smallest rear (#1).
So, I seem to be one index point off at both the top and bottom, even though I think I started the adjusting process off correctly.
any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?
many thanks

Instant Impressions: Week 6

• Are there any other questions about why I refused to bite on Mike Sims-Walker this season? I was a big proponent of MSW's skills back in his early Jacksonville days, but unfortunately his head seems never to have caught up with his body, and by the time he signed with the Rams, I was done with him. And now the Rams may be done with him, too. MSW was by most accounts a healthy scratch Sunday, removed from the starting lineup and deactivated altogether, as Danario Alexander and Brandon Gibson ...

Alright, folks. Today marks the eve of the NFL Draft. Getting excited yet? I know I am. Well.. I think I've been at that point since the end of last year's draft. But anyways..
I've gotten a few messages requesting a new mock before the draft, and well.. I've decided to give in.
You pesky posters.
This mock will be based on projections from my Final Big 254 board found here: http://www.49erswebzone.com/forum/thread.php?num=154181
Per the numerous requests, here is my 49ers 2011 NFL Draft.
2011 NFL Draft:
1. (7) Prince Amukamara-CB-Nebraska, 6-0 206 4.38
What more can I say about Amukamara? He went into this season as my favorite CB, and he still is. Expectations have been high, and he's met them. A straight-up lockdown corner, Prince is incredibly fundamentally sound. He's a big, physical corner with the size and speed to match up with just about any receiver in the league, and he's a disciplined player which is something we direly need in our secondary. Quarterbacks have stayed away from him this year, which is why he lacks the INT numbers that other corners might have, but when QB's look his way, it's rarely a completion. Amukamara has 13 passes broken up this year and a sack as well. With Patrick Peterson likely off the board by the time we pick, Amukamara, the more polished player anyways, could fall right into our laps.
2. (45) Ricky Stanzi-QB-Iowa, 6-4 223 4.87
Stanzi has intrigued me for the longest time, and early in his career I saw the flashes of brilliance that many of the Hawkeye followers rave about these days. However, I can also say I saw -- especially last year -- a player whose season was riddled with poor decisions in several games. Last year, he had 17 TDs, 15 picks. This year, 25 TDs (at least one in every game) and only 4 INTs. He's got spunk, confidence, swagger and all the things synonymous with those words, to accompany his skill. His footwork this year is greatly improved compared to before and there's no question Stanzi has talent. The only question is this: Was his rebound this year a fluke, or just evidence of immense growth? Stanzi has the upside to star in the NFL, but his peak is really a high 3rd round grade. If the 49ers do not trade up to draft a QB in the 1st, I believe they will take Stanzi here (if he's the best remaining QB). Why? Because look who we have picking behind us -- Oakland, Jacksonville, Indy, KC, and Seattle. If you don't want to blow your chances, you don't dare trade down. Stanzi is going to need some time to get ready for the NFL, but time is what any QB we get this year will receive. I do not expect the 49ers to start a rookie QB, at least not early in the year.
3. (76) Sam Acho-OLB-Texas, 6-2 262 4.68
Obviously, at this point, the 49ers would have to consider drafting a pass-rusher and Acho I'd imagine should be high on the 49ers board. Sam is built much in the mold like Lamar Woodley, as an almost mirror image in size at 6-2 262. Acho surprised scouts with an incredible 3-cone time at the combine for a man his size. A 6.69 in the 3-cone showed Acho has some freakish agility for a 260+ pound guy, and he proved easily that he has the athleticism to play linebacker in the NFL. Acho, a consistent producer for Texas (back to back seasons with at least 13 TFL and 8 sacks) would be a nice fit in San Francisco. Other options we might consider would be local product Chris Carter of Fresno State or Justin Houston if he fell here due to the failed drug test.
4. (108) Denarius Moore-WR-Tennessee, 6-0 194 4.39
While there are a fair amount of other "West Coast Receiver" prospect out there like Pettis, Vincent Brown, and Greg Salas, I think the 49ers will pull the trigger on a guy with a skill set a little different than what we already have on our team -- someone with great speed and quickness. Moore brings a blend of blistering sub-4.4 speed with soft hands, excellent leaping ability to grab the ball at its highest point, and concentration to locate passes coming through traffic. With 47 catches for just under 1000 yards (that's a whopping 21 yard avg. per catch) and 9 TDs, I think Moore would be a good addition to this team.
4. (115) Shane Vereen-RB-Cal, 5-10 210 4.49
It is possible that Vereen does not make it to this spot, due to his great strength and speed measurables showcased at the Combine, but I think there's a good chance he does because of all the other top running backs in this class. Vereen is seen as more of a change-of-pace back who isn't quite as explosive on the field as his timed numbers would indicate. Still, he's an impressive prospect because of his great receiving ability and willingness as a blocker, and I think he will be a 49er target between the 3rd and 4th rounds.
5. (141) Richard Sherman-CB-Stanford, 6-3 195 4.53
Bill Walsh loved big, tall, physical corners and Sherman is just that. He had a terrific Pro-Day, clocking a much better than expected low 4.5 time, with a 37 inch vertical. He has a reputation as a bit of a gambler who can be fooled by receiver moves too easily and misdirection, but his physical tools and production at Stanford could convince teams he can be coached up into a solid starting player. Sherman, a converted WR, racked up 4 interceptions and 13 pass break-ups this season, along with 1 TFL and 2 forced fumbles.
6. (174) Anthony Sherman-FB-Connecticut, 5-10 242 4.74
Sherman is arguably the best fullback in this class. While not an elite pass-catching back, he certainly has skill in this area, he just wasn't used much in this way. It's his blocking that sticks out the most, and in a WCO it is imperative that we have an exceptional blocking FB. UConn runs a run-dominated offense, and we know this by their former prospects Donald Brown, Andre Dixon, and now Jordan Todman this year. Sherman helped pave the way for Todman to have an exceptional year this year, and at the combine blew all the other FB prospects away in the strength category, putting up 32 reps on the bench. Sherman would be a terrific fit for our team.
6. (190) Akeem Dent-ILB-Georgia, 6-1 242 4.76
It's very possible that Dent could see a late rise just before draft day, but if he's here, I think the 49ers would strongly consider him. With McKillop trying to come off multiple torn ligaments, I don't think we can depend on him as the TED of the future. Spikes has little time left and is FA who may not even return. Dent would bring us an explosive player who fits the TED bill very well. He played the ILB position in Georgia's 3-4 defense, after all. Dent is overshadowed by some of the other prospects from the Georgia defense, but he posted outstanding workout numbers in Indy at the combine -- a 37 1/2 inch vertical and 10'3" broad jump, along with impressive agility drill times -- showing he can be an explosive player at the next level. Some scouts even believe he could play OLB on some teams.
7. (211) Jake Kirkpatrick-C-TCU, 6-2 300 5.31
Kirkpatrick's experience could have him develop and play at both the center and guard positions on this team. We all should expect the team to look for a replacement for Rachal in case he still underwhelms this year, and one should expect that replacement would be a G/C type of player. Kirkpatrick was the 2010 Remington Award Winner, which goes to the Top D-I Center in all of college football.
7. (231) Mana Silva-S-Hawaii, 6-1 206 4.43
It's surprising that it took Silva's Pro Day for him to get more attention, where he lit it up with explosive numbers across the board, including a 40-inch vertical and 23 reps on the bench. Silva has posted a whopping FOURTEEN INTERCEPTIONS over the past two seasons, with 8 coming this year. We like to carry at least five safeties on the team, and those eye-popping totals and tremendous athleticism will get him drafted -- if not by us, then by someone else.
7. (239) Anthony Gray-NT-Southern Miss, 6-0 330 5.18
I don't think we can go out of this draft without taking someone to work in at nose tackle. He had a solid year this year with 6 TFL, and 1.5 sacks, and would be a strong developmental guy as a clogger in the middle.
7. (250) Lazarius Levingston-DE-LSU, 6-3 292 4.86
I think Levingston is one of the most under the radar players among late-round prospects. He's a very athletic kid for his near 300-pound size, and played well in his role at LSU. The 49ers landed former LSU DL Ricky Jean-Francois some time ago, and I think they look at another LSU lineman for depth here.
And if you don't wish to read my reports:
1. Prince Amukamara-CB-Nebraska, 6-0 206 4.38
2. Ricky Stanzi-QB-Iowa, 6-4 223 4.87
3. Sam Acho-OLB-Texas, 6-2 262 4.68
4. Denarius Moore-WR-Tennessee, 6-0 194 4.39
4. Shane Vereen-RB-Cal, 5-10 210 4.49
5. Richard Sherman-CB-Stanford, 6-3 195 4.53
6. Anthony Sherman-FB-Connecticut, 5-10 242 4.74
6. Akeem Dent-ILB-Georgia, 6-1 242 4.76
7. Jake Kirkpatrick-C-TCU, 6-2 300 5.31
7. Mana Silva-S-Hawaii, 6-1 206 4.43

Setting up notifications for email, IM, or command channels is almost identical to how this was configured in OpsMgr 2007 R2. This article will just serve as a walk through to the process, such as immediately after deploying OpsMgr 2012. The key difference here is that Notifications are now managed by a Resource Pool, instead of just depending on the RMS.
Notifications in OpsMgr are made of of three primary components – the Channel, Subscriber, and the Subscription. The Channel is the mechanism that we want to notify by, such as Email. The subscriber is the person or distribution list we want to send to, and the subscription is a definition of criteria around what should be sent.
The SMTP Channel:
We will first need to create the channel: Under Administration pane > Notifications > Channels. Right click and choose New channel > Email (SMTP)
Give your channel a name. We might have multiple email channels. Once for emails to our primary work mailboxes. Maybe another with different formatting for sending email to cell phones and pager devices. Lets just call this one our "Default SMTP Channel"
Click Add, and type in the FQDN of your SMTP server(s). This can be an actual SMTP enabled mail server, or a load balanced virtual name.
I am going to select "Windows Integrated" for my Authentication mechanism, since my mail server does not allow Anonymous connections.
For the Return Address – I have created an actual mail enabled user to send Email notifications through SCOM. This might not be a requirement to be a real mail address – mostly that depends on your mail server security policies.
Next up is the email format. We can customize this with very specific information that is relevant to how we want emails to look from SCOM. I will just accept the defaults for now. I can always come back and customize this one, or create additional channels with different formats later.
The Subscriber:
Next up – creating the subscriber. Right Click "Subscribers" and choose "New Subscriber"
This will default to show your domain account. You can change this to whatever you like:
Next – we need to choose when Kevin wants to receive email notifications. This is especially important for things like on call pager devices, or when people work shifts and only want to see emails during certain times.
Next – we need to add an email address to the subscriber. I will add my default work email:
Then select the Channel type, and the email address:
Additionally – you can configure a specific schedule for this specific address. The previous schedule was for the subscriber itself, but a subscriber can have multiple addresses with different schedules if needed. I will keep things simple and choose "Always send". Click Finish a couple times and your subscriber is set up.
The Subscription:
Now we create a new subscription – Right Click "Subscriptions" and choose New Subscription.
Give your subscription a descriptive name that describes what it is and who it is to. Like – "Messaging team – all critical email alerts" Here is mine:
On the criteria screen – we have some very granular capabilities to scope this subscription. My goal for this simple one is just to send me any new critical alert that comes into my environment:
Next we add the subscribers to the subscription:
We also need to choose which Channel we want to use for this subscription:
On this same screen – there is an option for delay aging:
What that does – is allow for you to have multiple alert subscriptions – and using delay – create an escalation path if an alert is not modified in a way that takes it out of the notification path for these subscriptions.
Click "Finish" and we are all set. Behind the scenes – what happened is that all this information was actually written to a special management pack – the Microsoft.SystemCenter.Notifications.Internal MP.
Let's test our work.
I have a test rule that generates a critical alert whenever a specific event is written to the event log. Since I subscribed to all critical alerts – this should trigger my subscription and deliver an email:
It worked!
Advanced configuration – setting up a Run As Account to authenticate to the SMTP server:
Note – there is a Run-As Profile that ships with SCOM called the "Notification Account". If this is not configured, SCOM will try to authenticate to the Exchange server using the Management Server Action Account. If this is not allowed to authenticate, you might need to configure this Run-As profile with a Run As Account.
For instance – I disabled the ability for mail relay on my Exchange server. When I do this – only mail enabled Exchange servers can connect to it. Subsequent notifications fail to go through – and I will see two possible alerts in the console:
Failed to send notification Notification subsystem failed to send notification over 'Smtp' protocol to 'email@example.com'. Rule id: Subscription02e8b6be_528d_407c_8edf_5f29dddaae6b Failed to send notification using server/device Notification subsystem failed to send notification using device/server 'ex10mb1.opsmgr.net' over 'Smtp' protocol to 'firstname.lastname@example.com'. Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.HealthService.Modules.Notification.SmtpNotificationException: Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.1 Client does not have permissions to send as this sender. Smtp status code 'MailboxUnavailable'. Rule id: Subscription02e8b6be_528d_407c_8edf_5f29dddaae6b
Failed to send notification
Notification subsystem failed to send notification over 'Smtp' protocol to 'email@example.com'. Rule id: Subscription02e8b6be_528d_407c_8edf_5f29dddaae6b
Failed to send notification using server/device
Notification subsystem failed to send notification using device/server 'ex10mb1.opsmgr.net' over 'Smtp' protocol to 'firstname.lastname@example.com'. Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.HealthService.Modules.Notification.SmtpNotificationException: Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.1 Client does not have permissions to send as this sender. Smtp status code 'MailboxUnavailable'. Rule id: Subscription02e8b6be_528d_407c_8edf_5f29dddaae6b
In this case – I must configure the Run-As account with a credential that is able to authenticate properly with my Mail Server. I already have a user account and mailbox set up: OPSMGR\scomnotify
Under Administration > Run As Configuration > Accounts – create a Run As Account.
The account type will be "Windows" and give it a name that makes sense:
Input the user account credentials:
Choose "More Secure" and click Next, then Close.
So – we have created our Run As Account – next we need to choose where to distribute it. Account credential distribution is part of the "More Secure" option – we need to choose which Health Services will be allowed to use this credential. In this case – we want to distribute the account to the management server pool in SCOM 2012 that handles notifications.
Open the properties of our newly created action account, and select the Distribution tab:
Click "Add", and in the Option field – change it to "Search by Resource Pool Name" and click Search:
Choose the Notifications Resource Pool, click Add, and OK:
Now we have created our Run As Account for notifications, and then distributed it to the Notifications Resource Pool (which contains all management servers dynamically)
Next – we need to configure the Run As Profile – which will associate this account credential with the actual Notification workflows.
Under Administration > Run As Configuration > Profiles, find the "Notification Account" profile. Open the properties of this Profile.
Under Run As Accounts – click Add:
Select our Notification Run As Account, and click OK
Then Save it. This will update the Microsoft.SystemCenter.SecureReferenceOverride MP with these credentials and configurations for notification workflows.
From this point forward – Whichever Management server in the Notifications Resource Pool that is currently responsible for handling notifications, will spawn a MonitoringHost.exe process under our credential that we configured:
This credential will be used to authenticate to the Exchange server to send SMTP notifications. Now my email notifications are flowing smoothly once again! If the current management server goes down, another management server in the Notifications Resource Pool will pick up this responsibility and spawn the process, and continue sending notifications.
High availability out of the box. One of the benefits of the improved SCOM 2012 architecture improvements.
Do internal connectors still run the same? What system actually runs the bits for an internal connector?
@Andy - My understanding is that the connector framework has not changed so your custom connectorsa should just work. You should test, however, to ensure that there is no back compat issue with your SDK commands custom to your connector.
Kevin, thanks for the info, how would one set up multi-level notifications?? I need my notifications to alert at different times based off different info..
@Rick - same as in SCOM 2007 - use groups, different subscriptions, different criteria, different subscribers, different schedules.
How to configure smtp.gmail.com for outbound alerts/notifications in SCOM 2012?
Hi Kevin,
We are trying to setup notifications for a client, we are running though issues. The client is using the below.
SMTP: externally hosted exchange
User name and password- need to be authenticated using SSL
Now when we configure the Alerts, the notification fail due to TLS not authenticating. I followed the steps you mentioned above. It does not seem to work. Can you please let me know to get around this.
Sorry forgot to mention, the Port bieng used is a custom port number. Not the regular SMTP.
Authentication: SSL
Exchange- Externally hosted.
Excellent post Kevin, you give excellent blogs.
I want to use a notification account that doesn't have a mailbox (Exchange 2010).
What are the minimal rights (where to find them) to allow the account to connect to the SMTP Exchange Server.
Samir FARHAT, Infrastructure Consultant
@Samir - I cannot say - it depends on how your SMTP server is configured. Best to get with your Exchange admins.
Can i send the output of the command as a notifications via email in SCOM?
e.e gpresult in command line
Hi Kevin!
I have been following your blogs and they are simply excellent!! :)
One of the issues w.r.t notifications I found was- I have 2 SCOM 2012 environments (PROD- with UR2 and DEV-RTM and both notifications setups are exact replica) I am getting alerts for DEV and not for PROD. All my mail server settings are fine. Do you think this could be an issue with UR2?
Thanks and regards,
System Center Consultant
Is there anything different that needs to be done to get SMS notifications via a modem working with OM2012? After we upgraded our sms's stopped sending.
Hi Kevin I'm configuring the notification for SCOM 2012 Sp1. The scenario is: a command channel and an SMTP channel... I also have configurated the Subscribers and the subscription one for command and one for SMTP. Where's the problem now? If I enable all the subscription everything work but if i set on my command subscription to use command and smtp channel, mail stop to arrive to my mailbox when new alert is generated. Do U know if is there some problem about this?
I am looking to implement a tiered notification, with escalation..so for example..
Initial alert hits Email Group
Unresolved after 30 mins text sent to on call engineer
Unresolved after a further 60 mins all engineers receive text
Is this possible to configure in scom 2012 sp1?

Jan 1 2014, 11:35pm CST | by Poch de la Rosa
Stan Van Gundy thinks the Brooklyn Nets are a "bush league organization."
This is what the former Orlando Magic head coach told Amani and Eytan during their radio program on NBC Sports Radio Dec. 30 as reported by ESPN New York's Mike Mazzeo. Van Gundy pulled no punches when he went on air.
"I think with all the injuries it's been hard to evaluate Jason Kidd. It's been easy to jump on him not just because of the record, but the things coming out of their locker room, the situation with Lawrence Frank, the incident of spilling the drink on the floor.
"I mean this has looked like a bush league organization much of the year, they don't play with much effort at all, a very uninspired team. But at the same time they had so many people hurt you just don't know. And now they are not going to be healthy all year.
"You can do whatever you want with the coaching situation but it is not going to change the situation with their roster. They just don't have a lot of options -- they don't have draft picks, they are way over the salary cap.
"They are probably in the worst situation of any team in the NBA right now."
The New York Daily News' Stefan Bondy agreed with Van Gundy's observation in his Jan. 1 article when he said,"The Nets have become the target of ridicule throughout the league, with their astronomical payroll, pitiful record, apathy and their coach on the hot seat just 31 games into his career."
On the other hand, Mazzeo was able to quote Kidd shortly before the Nets took on the San Antonio Spurs, who beat Brooklyn 113-92, to get his thoughts on what Van Gundy had to say.
"Well I think we have one of the best owners (Mikhail Prokhorov), and so I'm confident. We've got a group of guys in there that are fighting, and we can only take care of one thing and that's tonight's game.
"Everybody has a right to their opinion, but the guys in that locker room are fighting, and we look forward to tonight's game."
Bondy, who notes Prokhorov hasn't attended a Nets game since October, also interviewed Nets forward Paul Pierce after the loss. Pierce quipped,"It's embarrassing. I don't know if I've ever been part of this many blowouts in one season already."
Another person who agrees with Van Gundy's assessment is no other than Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich, who had a conversation with The New York Post's Tim Bontemps on New Year's Day.
"They've had everything hit them. They've had a gazillion new players. They've had injuries that are ridiculous. You can almost not even begin to deal with that. You have to have all your bodies there.
"And even if you had them all there, it takes time to put in a system and get used to each other. They haven't had an opportunity to do any of that."
The Nets are 10-21 (.323) and are fourth in the NBA's Atlantic Division as of Jan. 2.

The American Cancer Society has promoted the Great American Smokeout every third Thursday of November since 1977. As always, today's challenge is simple: Stop smoking for 24 hours. Their hope is that setting such an easily attainable goal will inspire at least some smokers to quit permanently.
We don't know how many Americans have stopped smoking as a result of the event. In fact, we don't know much about health in general -- after all, we eat a lot of movie theater popcorn and Goobers. However, we do know that the medical backlash against tobacco use has forced studios to diminish smoking in films. Ten years ago, viewers hardly noticed if a character smoked. Now it stands out like a sore thumb.
Not all directors and actors have gotten the message yet. The following recent movie characters -- all smokers -- should have taken a hint and butted out.

Just below the surface of Manassas National Battlefield lie the remnants of a history dating as far back as 200 Million years ago, a time when Pangea was breaking apart and dinosaurs were roaming the earth. Similar to how archaeologists use artifacts and written history to piece together the first and second battle of Manassas, geologists use rocks and fossils to try and understand the history of Earth. Each rock type (sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous) provides a different perspective on how the world around us came to be.
The geologic history of Manassas National Battlefield Park is a history of active plate tectonics, continental rifting, and depositional basins. Over 200 Million years ago all of the continents had collided and formed the super continent Pangea. At the dawn of the Jurassic period, though, rifting began to occur, tearing Africa and North America away from each other. As these continents pulled apart the continental crust of Eastern North America began to thin and eventually started to crack. These cracks in turn acted like fault planes causing the land to sink down and form basins.
Over time, the Blue Ridge Mountains to the east eroded into sedimentary clasts, some of which were carried by rainwater and streams to lower elevations. Once the sediment, and flowing water, reached the basins they both became trapped in a bowl-like depression creating lakes underlain by silt and clay sized sediment.
The early Triassic rift basin was thus filled with Triassic and Jurassic sediment, as well as Triassic and Jurassic fossils. Over time the loose silt and clay of the lake beds lithified into siltstones and shales containing a variety of evidence for a long lost habitat. Beyond fossils, the siltstones preserve ripple marks, root casts, mudcracks, and more. To learn more about fossils found within the park click here.
The thinned continental crust and cracks also provided easy access for rising magma to reach the surface, leading to the formation of diabase dikes like the one which underlies the western side of the park. As the hot magma rose through the crust, though, it had to push through the preexisting siltstones of the region, resulting in contact metamorphism. Evidence of this thermal metamorphism can be found in bands of shale, hornfels and altered siltstone which surround the dike (Lee1979).
There are various locations throughout the park where visitors can examine each segment of Manassas National Battlefield's geologic history starting with red siltstones and grey shales in the east, and ending with diabase and metasedimentary rocks in the West. For more information about the different rock types and where to find them click here.

All Year Around
If I could wear one type of material all year around…that would be TWEED! Joy Cioci makes tweed so lightweight, fresh, and even wearable in the summer! Tweed can often make you look "aged" or a bit "mature" so I like to look for tweed that is lightweight in material and lighter & more vibrant in colors. I also try to stick with tweed that has more of an edgy silhouette so it doesnt look like you grabbed it from your grandma's closet!
On another note these rings I actually designed with my girlfriend Jacqueline from JNB jewels. As you guys know jewelry has always played a HUGE role in my life , and I thought it would be nice to pick up a little hobby and start designing on the side just for fun Let me know what you guys think of the rings and if you would work these pieces into your wardrobe!

Warped Tour Kicks Out The Bucket
The best music festival of the summer just got even better. You will definitely find some kick-ass music on this year's Warped Tour, but along with beach chairs, weapons, and bad attitudes, the Warped Tour website also states that you can leave your "big bucket of KFC" at home. "KFC" is even linked to our get active against KFC page! With peta2 alumni on the bill such as Rise Against, Silverstein, and Joan Jett, no wonder why Warped organizers don't want the Colonel's special brand of cruelty anywhere near the bands that give a damn about the animals. Chickens tortured and boiled alive can really put a damper on the rock don't you think?
It might also have something to do with peta2 working the festival tent circuit yet again-bringing animal awareness to the masses and makin vegans on every stop on the tour. I mean-they don't want a full scale rebellion on their hands now do they? So bring some water, some sunscreen, and yourself to the peta2 tent, but you can leave the bloody bucket at home.
This news was so exciting that it caused this woman to spontaneously break into the "Chicken Dance".

"We may have to dump ice cubes in the river to cool things down — make them earn their brunch," Back Eddy owner Sal Liotta said after checking the Westport River temperature by the restaurant Friday.
"It's extremely mild — 46 degrees," he said, about 14 degrees warmer than during last year's frigid New Year's Day plunge there.
"Maybe I should institute the 39 degree or below rule" to qualify for the free brunch that the Back Eddy offers plungers every New Year's Day.
But he won't. "We're good to go — it will be fun."
The deal is the same as always. Those who jump off the dock — all the way in with no wetsuits allowed — earn free brunch. Everyone else pays $25.
The plunges take place starting promptly at 11 a.m. and continue to 2 p.m.
"With the balmy water we're expecting a good turnout." They've already heard from lots of people, among them the New England Vikings football team that jumped en-masse last year. "That group can really chow," Mr. Liotta said.
Attendance at the Back Eddy plunge set a record two years ago — a sunny mild day — when around 380 took the leap. Last year was bitterly cold though with water temperatures right at the freezing point. No surprise that attendance dropped to around 200.
"So come on down — brunch won't hurt quite so much this year," he added.

what to buy
Reviewers say for the price, the Fagor Duo 8-Quart Stainless-Steel Pressure Cooker is a safe, high-quality pressure cooker with above-average capacity. It's a good beginner's choice, as it's very easy to use according to both professional and owner reviewers. The pressure indicator is straightforward and it offers several additional safety features. There are a few scattered durability complaints and Fagor's customer service is frequently panned.
High marks from pros and owners, alike. Available in four different sizes (4-, 6-, 8- or 10-quart), the Fagor Duo is packed with features. It gets a lot of praise from experts after comparison testing on cooking performance, including soups, beans, rice and risotto dishes, and various cuts of meats -- excelling at all. Reviewers say that the generously sized stainless-steel base on the 8-quart model is great for caramelizing foods before cooking, and a steamer basket is included. The pressure cooker offers the standard high-pressure setting as well as a lower setting for cooking delicate foods.
Straightforward to operate. While one expert source says the lid of the Fagor 8-Quart Stainless-Steel Pressure Cooker doesn't lock quite as easily as a competitor's pressure cooker, most owners disagree. They say the unit is easy to lock and use and they like that the safety valves and pressure sensor are built into the handle, so the lid is free of busy buttons and knobs. Thanks to the visual pressure indicator, reviewers agree that the pressure is very easy to monitor. The Fagor Duo is also dishwasher-safe and relatively compact for easy storage. The included recipes and instructional DVDs are also helpful to most owners.
Sturdy, stainless steel construction. We saw very few complaints about breakage or other durability issues with the Fagor 8-Quart Stainless-Steel Pressure Cooker, although a few say the handle broke off over time, although usually when dropped. The handle is not covered in the 10-year warranty, either. There's a full range of safety features that lower the risks of cooking with a stovetop pressure cooker -- something that puts many people off from even trying one. Many owners who say they were nervous about trying a pressure cooker say that this Fagor is a great choice for the beginner, although experienced users like it as well.

It seems like so much that appears on social media is news and so many of the newspapers are providing information.

As a broadcast journalist, I would argue we (on the broadcast side) provide a lot of news and information, but very little journalism.

It would be a fascinating study to assess these three categories in a range of news outlets by market size, ownership.George L.

At least one newspaper I once worked for is lamentably struggling with that distinction and is seeming to cling onto an old business model out of the belief that it's what its audience still wants.

Meanwhile, a lower-quality competitor that still needs to hone its professional standards and practices is gaining attention (if not notoriety) on the "just journalism" side by focusing exclusively on the research, interpretation and analysis part of the equation.

This distinction among the three could throw an interesting twist into my dissertation as well. The Red Media/Blue Media study found that partisans even chose their ideologically favorite news organizations for "softer" topics such as travel, or entertainment news.

The VPN business and paid newspaper services receive a philip in such countries where people are hungry for any piece of information which can be considered as authentic or having international citations or even remote references. Paid news would continue to exist but would co-exist with what we can term as localization of international content and synthesis of packets of international information relevant to local audience.

I have a couple of questions: Large legacy organizations such as the NYT, Guardian, etc. seem to fall into the service production mode category, but they also spend a great deal of resources on content production. Do you see their emphasis on original content decreasing over time, or are they exceptions to the general categories?

Also, do you see a third possible category of independent journalists, freelancers, contract workers? Some might be expert journalists as you describe in another post, others might be cheap labor for the service providers, and everything inbetween. Taken as a whole, they might represent another mode of production outside of formal institutional employment.donicahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918364431977570513.post-51996707248895788062014-05-26T23:08:50.747-04:002014-05-26T23:08:50.747-04:00good information...thanksgood information...thanksBelajar Gitarhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918364431977570513.post-88335826043969477032014-05-26T23:07:56.727-04:002014-05-26T23:07:56.727-04:00good information,, thanksgood information,, thanksBelajar Gitarhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918364431977570513.post-89407039404557585852014-05-25T14:26:00.744-04:002014-05-25T14:26:00.744-04:00Home Business Empower Network Top Training and Emp...Home Business Empower Network Top Training and Empower Network en Espanol "Mision Fortuna" Experiences with Elena Fraga Extreme Team and Mision Fortuna.

I worked for a nonprofit journalism outfit — perhaps a "craft production" group — for a bit a few years back and the editor attempted to rally some experts to write posts to supplement the site's more traditional content. The post performed well (if not better) than the "journalism" produced by the professionals. That initiative was dropped.

Your last paragraph mentions the complexity of this transition/evolution, but I wonder if you have more thoughts on how the craft production outfits can facilitate the experts becoming more involved with publishing their perspectives.

The legacy news organizations would have a future role to play in synthesizing and sensitization of news. It is true that people get news feeds from various media and devices but at the same time the reader today is more confused about the type and the nature of the content. Moreover, the consumer of such news often does not know how she or he can put the information to use. Huge streams of news is being continuously fed to the consumers as the marketers would like to lead, be consumed or directed. I am sure the modern consumer seeks more value from the news and wishes to know whether the news is relevant and would make a difference (emotions, well being) to her or him in their lives. The modern news reader is also a pampered consumer who prefers to receive news feed in digest format, so that they can directly go the section they would like to read. However, this tendency is a short lived phenomenon and often decreases the intelligent quotient of a person. The joy of reading a wholesome newspaper and gathering holistic information is only possible by sifting through the pages of a daily newspaper over a morning cup of coffee. And no electronic media can snatch away that pleasure from the customer. Legacy news organizations would always be in business and the role would shift to more of educating the customer in the future and help them in planning, coordinating, monitoring and balancing their work life / personal life activities.

I have written numerous articles, books, and blogs about the kinds of things that add value to and subtract value from journalism.

Value adders primarily involves content that others are not providing, content presented in different ways than others, and content that is better than that of others.

It is no mystery. Filling newspaper, website, and app pages with news agency and syndicated copy creates little value. Filling them with the same types of entertainment and lifestyle news found on hundreds of websites and magazines adds little value.

News organizations creating the most value tend to be those who most produce original content and content that builds upon the commondified news by showing its implications, how it affects readers, and what will happen next.

Doing the same thing that everyone else does--and doing it in standardized and uninspired ways--is a value killer in an era where you are no longer the primary information source available to the public.Robert G.

It is precisely the stuff that people don't look for because they believe that is boring or of little value- but that is until they find out that the Government has cut their benefits and they cannot afford to pay their rent, or that the local schools are so full that you have to put down your child's name at birth to get into one. These are the stories that routine local journalism collates and puts together in a readable form so that ordinary people can find it. There is no evidence at all that people crawl over their local council websites looking for what they need to know. They expect someone to tell them. Those people used to be local journalists via local papers. We haven't stopped needing them - we have to find a way to pay for them. Routine coverage of local affairs IS the value added.

First, journalism remains stuck in the 5 W's. They certainly remain important, but news organizations must trust their editors and reporters to layer in the passion that provides authentic voice to the context and analysis. That can only happen when you expand the notion of what a journalist is to knowledgeable academics, authors, topic experts and business leaders -- formerly the sources used by journalists. The essential mission of journalism is to inform. If you are knowledgeable enough to be quoted, you are knowledgeable enough to write it yourself and build an audience around what you know. This can be accomplished by transparency -- identification and proper labeling provides the reader with an understanding of where the author is coming from. This then can become a scalable model for content creation with new ways of paying for it. It's exactly where we are doing at FORBES. Here's a post that explains more, and I believe is quited related to Robert's post.

The human factor is crucial indeed but maybe there are more devils in the details than you expect.
Let me share some experiences from a transformation I have been leading at my own newsroom.
One day we put 'value-added journalism' as a strategic goal and changed the workflow of the newsroom to let a significant group of journalists to focus on investigative stories, features, analytical pieces, critical commentary etc.
These journalists got more time, more resources and more editorial support -- something they had always dreamed about and asked for.
The first results were quite positive. Some great stories were produced. People were happy. The entrepreneurial spirit was spread around the newsroom.
But over time the quality of this journalism decreased -- the investigations happened to be pretty rare, features more mainstream, analysis more predictable and comments more repetitive. What happened?
Journalists seemed to be increasingly detached. The number of new stories, facts, ideas delivered daily started to decrease. One of the reasons was that their networks of sources eroded. Journalists had more time to interact with their sources but the stricter filtering of stories led to lower frequency of interactions. And this in turn decreased the sources' satisfaction from the interactions. How many 'big stories' per day or per week you have? Some sources simply turned to 'easier' collaborators.
One solution to this challenge could be to increase significantly the network of sources and interactions with them. The hope would be more shots could bring more hits.
The problem you face is an increase in cost and time needed to deal with much bigger networks than before: gather & process information, provide feedback & keep the relationship.
That's why you need to rethink the whole deal between sources and journalists.
Maybe modern journalists don't need more filtering but less? Maybe modern newsrooms need to open to these networks and embrace the expert sources as everyday correspondents?
In such newsrooms the role of many journalists would be different. Instead of gathering news they would rather moderate communities of correspondents or freelancers, select stories that should be promoted etc.
Any newsroom like this would still need a group of staff editors/reporters to do things no collaborators can provide -- like investigative reporting, independent analysis on the most sensitive topics, troubleshooting -- but this probably would be much smaller newsroom that today.gpiechotahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

Microsoft HoloLens release soon: spark for a platform
Detailing the inner bits of Microsoft HoloLens isn't going to be especially easy in the next few weeks. Not unless Microsoft makes a big showing during GDC 2015. But what we've found out since we first (officially) heard about Windows Holographic from Microsoft this week is that the final product may be closer than we originally suspected. While NASA's JPL Labs suggest they'll be using HoloLens by July of this year, we'd suspected there was no way they'd be bringing a consumer model to the public any time soon.

SPP color wheel cyan/magenta switched positions...
Jun 18, 2014
Kindly ignore if this has been pointed out before. I just noticed that the cyan and magenta positions on the color wheel are switched - the cyan area should be on the bottom and the magenta one on the upper left.
I was trying to reduce a green cast on recent pics from my DP2M by adding magenta, which should be opposite the normal lower right position for green, i.e the upper left, but magenta is found on the bottom where cyan should be!! It still works, but it's a bit counter intuitive.
Anyone else found this?

The CDC suggests five efforts to continue the reduction in CLABSI:
1. Providers should be on the lookout to be aware of and make sure healthcare providers follow infection control guidelines when a central line is inserted and used.
2. Hospital and other staff in healthcare settings to "speak up when guidelines aren't followed."
3. Track infection rates and germ types with the CDC's National Healthcare Safety Network to learn where and why infections are happening, target actions to stop them and track progress.
4. Recognize staff members or units that work hard to prevent these infections or that solve infection control issues.
5. Join state-based prevention programs such as the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's expansion of "On the CUSP: Stop BSIs."
A major effort is in preventing infections in people who receive kidney dialysis, which about 350,000 people in the U.S. undergo at any given time. About eight in 10 receive treatment through a central line. Infections are one of the major reasons for the high death and hospitalization rates for patients undergoing hemodialysis, with 37,000 infections in this population alone in 2008. Compounding the problem is that these infections are more likely to be resistant to the most effective and common types of antibiotics.
President and CEO of the American Hospital Association Rich Umbdenstock said patients and hospitals "welcome news that confirms that hospitals are making tremendous progress in reducing certain infections."
He adds, however, that "We will not rest until healthcare associated infections are totally eliminated, and we applaud the work of hospitals, doctors, nurses and other staff in making hospitals safer than ever before."
But he blasted proposed recently passed federal regulations that would "penalize 25% of all hospitals each year—those that report the highest proportion of hospital-associated condition, no mater how small that number may be—regardless of improvement."
Rather, he said, "we've learned that success comes from collaboration and promotion of best practices rather than through counterproductive policies."
