Oh you made me realize that I missed a beautiful opportunity. I should have arranged them, videoed them all leaving, and then posted the video *running backwards!* It would have looked like they crawled from all over to join the meet up. I should post my pictures in reverse order.
Thanks for the ribbon.

[edit] Re:AC Graticule
My laptop just bailed on me and it's going to be a while before I can get a new one. I can't reliably get online in the morning, especially on weekends as a result. Maybe in a month or so if you still haven't got anyone.--220.127.116.11 16:29, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Airport Alert
I totally appreciate the alert, but no, I'm not working out there this week. Because I fly for work, I rarely have opportunity to choose where and when I will land somewhere, but someday I'm going to get an airport geohash.
And ferries: not all ferries are public transit, many are private ventures. Plus they would only count for a water hash if the point was in the water, on the ferry route. Not just if you were on the way.
[edit] Re: ribbons
! *Gasp* ! I love you! I wanted to make one for myself but was then too lazy and forgot about it and my laptop died. And you *also* gave me an honorable Cubicle Hash mention!! If I, being in Philadelphia next weekend, make it out to a geohash around you watch out for a nice box of chocolates coming your way :). Thanks!
[edit] Pirates.
I don't think your templates will work with all of the possible parameters name=User:X name=X and name=[[User:X]]. Also, if any extra requirements are mandatory for that parameter, it should be documented. As for me, I'd prefer the templates to show without any name parameter on my user page, and still be listed in the category Pirates. Happy hacking! :] -- relet 20:01, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, I don't mind generally if you change my user page. I just wanted to point out that the template does not work the way you'd want it. To further complicate things, I would suggest that the users are added to the category with the correct indexing. I.e. use [[Category:Pirates|Jevanyn]] instead of just [[Category:Pirates]] which sorts all User: pages under "U". And you might want to merge the Categories Category:Pirates and Category:Water geohash achievement which are largely identical. -- relet 10:57, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey Jevanyn, the 2 redirects you tagged for deletion are actually valid pages (ie, the grats are not in the sea) that are named correctly. Just that the named grat page hasn't been created yet. Please don't tag them for deletion. --joannac 20:09, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Either you're being prophetic (and I *will* hold you to making a 2009-09-05 hash, even if it's halfway down a cliff), or the date's wrong. I can't find the word "voices" anywhere on the wiki either, so not sure what the quote is from. --joannac 21:30, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

|Doris Burke on D&C: Expect Chris Bosh to play
|06.05.12 at 10:36 am ET
Appearing on the Dennis & Callahan show Tuesday morning, ESPN basketball analyst Doris Burke addressed the controversy stemming from her halftime interview with Rajon Rondo in which the Celtics point guard said Heat players were "complaining and crying to referees in transition" during Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals on Sunday.
"To me, it was first of all, shocking that he would say that. It's the kind of response you rarely get," Burke said.
Following the game, Burke asked Rondo if he expected any reprecussions from what he said at halftime, to which he said he didn't take back what he said. But after that interview was over, cameras revealed Burke and Rondo talking to each other, a conversation that appeared to be a misunderstanding between the two. Burke revealed the conversation on the air and what she thought was going on.
"If you recall how I ended the interview, I said – and this really wasn't my place, I wasn't in the analyst's role, but it just popped into my head – I said, 'Your play backed you up.' It was sort of a gratuitious comment, frankly, in the position I was in, but it just popped into my head," Burke recalled. "And I don't think he heard me. I think he heard me say, 'Back you up,' and whether he thought I was referencing his teammates maybe in the next game because of the kind of response that comment might illicit, I don't know.
"I think he turned around to ask me sort of, 'What did you say?' and there was a point at which I sort of just grabbed his arm and I said, 'This is what I said,' he said, 'What?' and I repeated it."
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on Monday dismissed Rajon Rondo's comments as nothing more than "normal playoff chatter" in regards to the Celtics point guard's controversial remarks about the Heat during halftime of Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals on Sunday.
Following the Celtics' 61-point first-half outburst, ESPN's Doris Burke asked Rondo what kinds of holes his team was exploiting against the Heat defense. Replied Rondo: "Them complaining and crying to referees in transition."
On Monday, when asked if there was any truth to Rondo's comments, Spoelstra wrote it off.
"I could really care less — couldn't care less about what another player has to say about our team," Spoelstra said. "The deeper you get into a competitive series, the more people [say], the more noise there tends to be."
Spoelstra instead chose to talk about how his players have improved with how they handle themselves when they don't get calls.
"I think we've managed that part of the game better than we have in the past," Spoelstra said. "I think, particularly in this playoff run, we've been able to focus on things that we can control. And that's not one of them. But if you have been around our team, I think you've seen a lot of progress, particularly from last year."
|Doc Rivers and Celtics: 'Last year was last year… We don't want a repeat of that'
|06.03.12 at 7:14 pm ET
Try as they might, the national and local media was unsuccessful in the 45 hours since the end of Friday's Boston's win over the Heat in Game 3 to draw the Celtics in to comparing last year to this year against LeBron James and company.
"I don't even remember last year, to be honest with you," said Paul Pierce when asked about the details of the 4-1 loss to the Heat in the Eastern semifinals last year.
"I don't, really," Doc Rivers said when asked if he recalled Boston winning Game 3 in 2011 before losing a heart-breaker in Game 4 in overtime. "I know we lost. I think that's the game Rondo got injured but I'm not even sure of that. Oh, it was Game 3. I don't even remember. That tells you what I remember."
Indeed, the inspired Celtics overcame the dislocation of Rajon Rondo's left elbow in a collision with Dwyane Wade in Game 3. They had a great chance to tie the series when Ray Allen drilled a three to put the Celtics up, 84-81, with 2:28 left. But James hit a three of his own 28 seconds later and James hit a jumper to put Miami up, 86-84. Pierce hit a jumper to tie it, 86-86, with 41 seconds left. After a James turnover, the Celtics had the last 19.5 seconds left to win it. They had to settle for a missed fadeaway from Pierce with 0.9 seconds remaining. '
In that game, Kevin Garnett had seven points and made just 1-of-10 from the field in 41 minutes. That cannot happen again for the Celtics to win Game 4, something they failed to do in 2011.
"We just want to be consistent in how we play," Pierce said. "Last year was last year. It's over with. We don't want a repeat of that so we just have to be consistent in everything we're trying to do. We're going to continue to try and get him the ball, get as many as touches out of him as possible. We know that's been working for us. So, when Kevin gets it going from the inside, it really opens up things for a lot of us on the perimeter."
The Celtics would be outscored 12-4 in overtime in the game that would essentially seal Boston's playoff fate in five games.
"We had opportunities," Rivers reflected. "Clearly, we had a couple of great shots. I think we had a terrible possession now that I think about it before overtime. Our last possession [of regulation]. Thanks for bringing that up."
|Celtics shootaround notes for Game 3: Extra time for KG and Ray
|06.01.12 at 1:08 pm ET
WALTHAM — Marquis Daniels is fully aware that the Celtics bench scored just seven of Boston's 111 points in Wednesday's Game 2 loss to the Heat.
Not that they are expected to carry the team but Daniels knows more will be expected in Game 3 at the Garden. And it's not necessarily the scoring but the energy level off the bench that has to be there. Daniels, Keyon Dooling and Mickael Pietrus are among those who could be vital in assuring Rajon Rondo doesn't have to play the entire game like he did in Game 2.
"We just have to do what's needed," Daniels said at Friday morning's shootaround. "Rondo obviously had a great game last game. If those guys [starters] continue to play well, we basically have to come in and do what we usually do, get some stops here and there, play good defense and knock down open shots.
"A little more here and there, and we'll be OK."
Pietrus led the bench in minutes with 28 on Wednesday, while Dooling added 15. Greg Stiemsma played just five minutes after picking up four quick fouls and Ryan Hollins, Daniels, Sasha Pavlovic and E'Twaun Moore all played under two minutes.
Daniels said the team's focus is right where it needs to be, down 0-2 in the series to the heavily-favored Heat.
"We're focused," he said. "We're going to go out and do what we need to do. We looked at film and got prepared so I think we'll be ready."
The focus was evident among most of the Celtics, who left after the shootaround to get their rest. However, Ray Allen stayed behind to work with assistants Ty Lue and Michael Longabardi while Kevin Garnett worked with assistant Jamie Young on mid-range and 3-point shooting, along with free throws.
Normally, both Allen and Garnett leave immediately after the shootaround, which focuses on half-court sets. Friday morning was different.
All Celtics were accounted for and present at Friday's shootaround.
The Celtics will also look to take advantage of home court, where they're 6-1 in the playoffs so far.
"It's going to help a lot," Daniels said. "Our crowd is going to be into it. It's going to be a lot more intense. We're going to come out focused and ready to play.
"Just stay consistent, come out and keep giving the energy where it's needed, keep giving those guys their breaks and make sure we don't fall off anywhere," Daniels said. "We're a veteran ball club so we don't let too much get to us. You hate losing, obviously, but we're going to come in focused and hopefully, we can get this one."
|National view: Officiating is center of debate again in Celtics' loss
|05.31.12 at 4:18 pm ET
One game after the officiating was a hot topic of debate for five questionable technical fouls called on the Celtics in their Game 1 loss to the Heat in the Eastern Conference finals, Wednesday's Game 2 was filled with controversy caused by missed calls and free throw disparities.
The biggest missed call in question occurred in overtime. With under two minutes remaining and the game tied at 105-105, Rajon Rondo drove the lane and went up for a layup, but was knocked in the head by Dwyane Wade.
The referees didn't blow their whistles and missed the call as Rondo sat on the floor holding his head. The Heat quickly took advantage, converted a dunk on the other end and never looked back as momentum completely swung to their side and they secured the win.
"I don't know how you miss that one," ESPN basketball analyst Tim Legler said. "There has to be an official on the baseline. You have a guy driving to the rim, you know that you're anticipating contact as an official. [When] you get raked across the eye on a layup, it has to be called. It's that simple. They missed it."
CBSSports.com NBA blogger Royce Young also chimed in on the play. While he agreed that it was a clear missed call, he was also defensive of the officials.
"Referees miss calls. It happens," Young wrote. "Nobody wants to hear that and it certainly doesn't give Boston two points, but in the flow of an NBA game, something that moves really, really fast, sometimes an official doesn't get it right.
"It's not like they don't want to. It's not like they were thinking, 'Eh, it's Wade. Let it go.' They want to do their job perfectly. It just doesn't happen."
Even Brian Windhorst, the Heat beat writer for ESPN.com, was critical of the missed call. He took to Twitter moments after Wade converted on a 3-point play to give the Heat a five-point lead.
"Great play by Wade but I'm feeling a little sick about that missed foul on Rondo. And I'm a staunch defender of officials as followers know," Windhorst tweeted.
|Irish Coffee: Celtics, Heat, fouls, free throws & facts
|at 9:43 am ET
Let's take a page out of Doc Rivers' book and tread lightly on this matter. Two nights after declaring his technical foul — one of five called on the Celtics as a team — "the worst I've ever had," the coach took umbrage with the officiating in their Eastern Conference semifinals series against the Heat once again.
"It is what it is," he said in the aftermath of a stomach-punch, 115-111 overtime loss. "LeBron James took 24 free throws tonight and our team took 29. Paul Pierce fouled out of a game where he was attacking the basket."
You can't get fined if you stick with the facts. You can't come across as blaming the referees if you shoot straight. At least that's the hope. Here are 15 more facts about the Game 2 officiating. Read the rest of this entry »
|Doc Rivers on Rajon Rondo: 'Phenomenal … tough for him to play that way and not win the game'
|at 1:55 am ET
It was almost as painful as the bulging disk in his back that caused him to wince at the opening of his press conference. Doc RIvers took to the podium after his Celtics lost a heart-breaker in overtime to try and put perspective on his point guard's record-setting night.
Rajon Rondo became the first player in the long, illustrious history of the Celtics to score at least 40 points and dish out at least 10 assists in a playoff game but his mood and the mood of the team was tempered after a 115-111 loss to the Heat Wednesday night that put the Celtics in a 2-0 hole in the Eastern Conference finals. Rondo finished with 44 points, 10 assists and was just two rebounds shy of his fourth triple-double of this playoff season.
"He was absolutely phenomenal," Rivers said. "He put the whole team — at times — on his shoulders. It's tough for him to play that way and not win the game, honestly, because he did basically everything right. We had a lot of opportunities to win the game."
"It's kind of irrelevant," Rondo said. "We lost. It's as simple as that."
Rondo had three steals and just three turnovers, remarkable considering the point guard played all 53 minutes of the epic playoff contest. He became just the eighth player in NBA history to play all 53 minutes of a playoff game. But Rondo maintained that he was not tired in the late stages of the game.
"I felt fine," Rondo said. "It was a mental grind for me, individually, and for us as a team. Kevin played extra minutes, we all did. There's no turning back. It's the conference finals so I wanted to play every minute. I thought I didn't hurt my team by me playing every minute so I wanted to go out there and continue to do the best for my team."
"It just happened during the game," Rivers said of Rondo's minutes. "You just read it. I don't start the game saying I'm going to play Rondo the whole game. I just kind of read the situation. He was playing at a pretty good pace so we just rode him."
Rondo said the Celtics are confident that the home crowd can help them get back in the series. The Celtics enter Friday's Game 3 with a 6-1 home mark at TD Garden in these playoffs and have lost just twice in their last 21 home games dating back to Feb. 13.
"We have the next two at home," Rondo said. "We had two tough losses on the road but it's a seven-game series. We're playing very well at home as of late. We're looking forward to it."

Date of Stay: May, 2013
Wi-fi was weak, but usable. Campground was outstanding. Lots of room, level site, shade, wildlife in the yard (deer). Restrooms smelly but clean. Friendly staff and host. We highly recommend this.
Date of Stay: May, 2013
Not enough toilets. 55 camping sites and only 3 men's toilets (no urinals). Wife says only 4 women's toilets. The RV sites are very, very small. They tell you that you are getting site that backs on to the river, but an 8 foot berm of dirt is what you back on to. Very close to Arches NP entry. Clean and well maintained.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
Very dark, dank campground. Poorly marked sites and roads. All sandy as if it had been flooded recently. Staff were OK, but not really interested in our business. Very poor wifi coverage and SLOW. very little grounds maintenance, trash disposal only at entrance. I will not go back here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
We stayed here four nights. Great hiking right from the camp or a short drive. Great view of the bay from a road up the hill within the camp. Friendly staff. The sites are not level, so bring lots of leveling blocks.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
We loved this place. Big and clean and not crowded. Lots of beach and riverfront area. Nice hiking nearby. very good value for the price.
Date of Stay: March, 2011
A very nice park inside a state park. Lots of activities for kids. We particularly liked the dog run area. A giant fenced in area on the lake with 50 dogs and lots of nice people when we were there. We enjoyed our stay and got our money's worth.
Date of Stay: March, 2011
A GEM!!! One of the best sites we have ever stayed at. Quiet, spacious, beautiful. It is off the beaten track. Very spotty cellphone coverage (mostly none), no TV or internet. If you don't mind that, go here. Cheap boat rentals and lots and lots of alligators in the swamp. I boated there 3 days and loved every minute. Very helpful staff. Bring all the food you need, it's 17 miles to nearest convenience store. No campfires allowed currently because it is VERY dry (lake is down 2 feet+).
Date of Stay: March, 2011
Very unhelpful staff, dirty facilities, small tight campsites. They advertise free internet, but they give you one hour free and then charge $5 per day. Intentionally misleading advertising. Very overpriced for the condition of the facilities and lack of space. This is the second or third worst camp we have stayed in.
Date of Stay: April, 2010
Camp opens mid April, we are here in first week this season. Only one bathroom open and heated, but the camp is very empty. Very nice facilities and a very helpful and friendly owner. Pull through spaces are fairly level gravel. Everything is well maintained. A beautiful public park just across the street makes it a short walk to lake Erie. We would come here again.
Date of Stay: April, 2010
This is a very nice park on the Great Smoky side of the town. Very little interaction with the office, but none was really needed. Our space was a little short, but all facilities were adequate and a very good value. This camp is near the main road but pretty quiet and isolated from traffic noise. Do not camp in this town (unintentionally) during any of their car shows. There are at least 7 this year, and we waited in traffic for an hour coming back from Great Smoky hiking on Saturday, a traffic jam of 2-3 miles outside of town.
Date of Stay: October, 2009
This was a treasure. We got a spot in the open (hot), but with an outstanding view of the dunes and the bay. It was a short walk to a beautiful stretch of beach that was always empty and clean. We would do this one again, even though it was more primitive than we normally like.

Samus on steroids.
Such a different take on Samus. And I can't say I hate it, as a matter of fact, quite the opposite!
i agree with u jamesCreations
I love this piece, Its a very nice paint with some real effects too it!
I enjoy Samus as a neat and amazing character too.
I enjoy Samus as a neat and amazing character too.
i cant imagine samus being in that suit!
I'd like to thank you for not making her all girly. Samus is a badass and should be portrayed as such
Yes, I am back. Thanks for noticing.
Dude. Love it. It's the kick-bottom machine-covered blaster-armed Samus that is my favourite, not the over-sexed annoying kind that demeans women everywhere...
The problems of our world can only be solved by being the solution and placing our focus there. Thank you, I agree. Though I do not oppose sexiness, nor put down those who choose that expression, I personally feel inclined to respect women, even revere. Just Be one with Love and the rest will take care of itself. Thanks again.
Nice, finally a non- revealing picture!
It captures just how badass she really is. It's also a great reference picture.

Paper cut project? What's that?
I know what you mean. I've never really got into the games, but the look is pretty iconic. Awesome job catching that epicness to it.
Woooow, very impressive *_* it's no wonder you get inspired when looking at this! Well done for making such a fantastic drawing ^_^
Thanks friend! I did use the angle from another artist shot when I made this. Liked the angle and made it realistic. Also altered it a bit. Thanks though!
i bet she's so hot in there.
thank you thank you!
dudeee master
Oh yeah!
Better than Other M Samus! Very good job on the details!

A Fractal design i created with Apophysis 7x15 and further manipulated with photoshop.
STUNNING!!! Thank You
nicely done
The Spirit! Love this!
The detail is impressive, as are the colours; warm, feathery reds, contrasting with chilly blue ice-patterns create great depth. The circular patterns suggest an even greater depth of space in both the background and foreground. I like this artwork, good job!
Wow that would have made a nice critique, thank you for your compliments. Although i had electric / lightning blue patterns in mind but chilly blue icy patterns works great too! thanks again!
A really fine and scary wizard.
Beautiful, and a great title too!
awesome design
I see him!
Well done!

Saving Seals on the Road With Alesana
Greetings from the cold North! The peta2 Road Warriors have been on tour for the past week with Alesana, urging concert-goers to speak out against the ever-cruel Canadian Seal Hunt. With the Olympics currently drawing the world's attention to Canada, and with the annual seal slaughter set to begin on the east coast of Canada in March, now is the prime time to tell Canada's government to halt the heinous activities that cause the deaths of an estimated 300,000 baby harp seals each year.
Of course, a most important part of being a peta2 Road Warrior is eating right. We don't let constant traveling hold us back from eating healthy vegan food. In fact, eating healthy is part of our mission to save animals. While in the vegan food mecca of New York City last week, we stopped to devour an incredibly tasty and healthy meal at Angelica Kitchen, one of Manhattan's longest running vegan establishments. We feasted on marinated tofu steaks with miso dip, sweet potatoes, kale and seaweed salad, and then we topped it off with a blueberry glazed banana bread pudding for dessert.
We left Angelica Kitchen feeling like a million bucks, ready to save some seals! Tell us, what's your favorite healthy vegan dish?

"Today, an artist's paint box must include the digital camera and the computer right along with paint tubes and bristle brushes," artist Steve Memering said.
What's in your paint box?
Placerville Arts Association is very pleased to have Memering sharing his many years of experience in acrylic painting, on Sunday, Nov. 18 at the El Dorado Senior Center, 935 Spring St. in Placerville.
It will be a meeting full of fresh insights and ideas, not only about painting in the medium of acrylics, but just how digital cameras and computers can enhance an artist's repertoire for creating art. The public is invited: young or old, artist or art enthusiast.
Creating art has been a refuge and great source of joy for Memering his entire life and he relishes sharing his insights and enthusiasm for art with others.
Retired after 30 years of teaching art at the middle school level, Memering devotes fulltime to painting and on teaching adult workshops.
For years, Memering developed a reputation as an accomplished watercolorist. Gradually, he discovered that each painting became a kind of journey. Opaque mediums, such as oil and acrylic gave him the freedom he needed to re-evaluate and explore his ideas along the way.
Uncomfortable with photographic realism, Memering prefers to "interpret" rather than "report" a subject.
"I paint what I remember, not what I see," he explained. "I try to edit out everything not essential and get to what is really there."
Over time, Memering's work has acquired its own unique look. The dramatic play of light and dark has become a persistent theme in his work along with bold, emotion-based color schemes.
Memering's work can be found in collections all over the world, and his work is always on sale and on display at the Smith Gallery in downtown Sacramento.
To learn more about him and his work visit stevememering.com or smithgallery.com.
The demonstration will follow a brief PAA business meeting at 1:30 p.m. Refreshments are served about 2 p.m. and the demonstration follows, concluding about 3:30 p.m. The event is free.

Review: We had a great lunch here on our one day in Vienna. We got the vegan lunch special, soup and soyburgers with potatoes for 7.70, which we thought was very reasonable. The place was relatively full with locals and tourists, with Leonard Cohen playing on the stereo. The food was very good, though it may been after a few days of traveling it was our first real meal. They had an English and German menu. The waitress was great. It's in a great location, and whole experience was lovely. We would definitely go back.

During some of my recent partner engagements, I had the opportunity to test deeply the Azure network performances and latency impact on SQL Server in Azure Virtual Machines (IaaS VM), now in this blog I'm going to unveil some interesting findings, testing methodology and comparison with other Cloud providers. Finally, I will show you an interesting finding on a pretty unknown and un-used SQL Server parameter that you can play with to reduce network latency effect. Regarding the VM configuration, for Azure I used two "LARGE" VMs inside the same Virtual Network (VNET) deployed in "West Europe" Azure datacenter (Amsterdam). I executed all tests on Monday afternoons (November 4, 11, 18 and 25), starting from 2:00pm until 6:00pm, local CET time, I used this day and hours to have good measures in normal workload conditions on Azure infrastructure.
Testing in the Cloud
I spent the last two years mainly testing performances in the Cloud, on AZURE and some others Cloud providers, and I have to say that is challenging due to the intrinsic "volatile" nature of this kind of platform, then I want to provide you my five "Don't assume…." rules in approaching this kind of activity:
Finally, an important recommendation if you want to run your network performance tests in Azure. In order to avoid blacklisting of your deployment, be sure to open a Support Case to the Azure Support otherwise you may be throttled by the infrastructure DDOS protection mechanisms. During my tests, I encountered problems crossing 10K packets per second on a specific connection, and when the aggregate number of packets to a VIP reached 100K packets per second.
Azure Network Configuration and Optimization
The first trivial recommendation in Azure network configuration, is to use the same "Affinity Group" (AG) used for Azure Virtual Network also for your VM and storage placement.
You may be wondered why I'm using Azure Virtual Network (VNET) since using AG should be enough to locate as close as possible all the VMs that need to communicate each other with the minimum latency, the reasons are simple if you consider the facts below:
What is really surprising is that testing latency across Azure Load Balancer (LB) using VIP (Virtual IP – external - Azure LB) originated almost the same results compared to internal network communications using DIP (Direct IP – Internal - No Azure LB). After internal investigations, I finally discovered that Azure recently introduced a very nice network optimization: once the connection is established between two VMs, Azure will recognize that the communication is between two internal resources and will allow direct communication as in the case of network connection using DIP. This is really a huge gain since you application will be able to connect to a SQL Server VM (and all other type of server side VMs) efficiently even if in a different Cloud Service!
SQL Server Network Latency Analysis
First of all, how to test and measure effectively network latency in a typical client-server application scenario using SQL Server as the backend database? As you probably know, there is no performance counter or trace log that will track network packet latency, but SQL Server is unique in providing a great but simple mechanism, inside the engine itself, it's called "Wait Types" and you can query details using a specific SQL Server Dynamic Management View (DMV) called "sys.dm_os_wait_stats". If you are not a DBA nor familiar with SQL Server world, you can read about this DMV and "Wait Types" at the link below, I also provided a sample query in this blog post attachment, but you can also find plenty of similar example over the Internet:
Dynamic Management Views and Functions
sys.dm_os_wait_stats (Transact-SQL)
Now, just to land the boots on the ground for everyone, using the DMV mentioned above, you can look for a very specific wait type logged by the SQL Server engine, called "ASYNC_NETWORK_IO", looking in the SQL Server BooksOnline, this is the official explanation:
Occurs on network writes when the task is blocked behind the network.
Verify that the client is processing data from the server.
Great! You may argue we have the perfect tool to measure network latency, unfortunately this is not 100% accurate for two reasons:
Anyway, also with these limitations, "ASYNC_NETWORK_IO" will provide a good indicator and the best (at my knowledge) tool to achieve this goal, then go on and use it! How? This is a simple step list:
DBCC SQLPERF (N'sys.dm_os_wait_stats', CLEAR);
What I described above is a SQL Server specific method to measure, with good approximation, the network latency, but in the next section I will show you an agnostic way to do that in general, without considering specific application scenarios and architectures.
General Network Latency Test
If you don't have SQL Server, or you need to run some more general network tests, for example to evaluate the goodness of a Cloud platform, there is a great tool from great Microsoft Technical Fellow Mark Russinovich called "PsPing" from SYSINTERNALS tool suite:
This tool is great for several reasons, but most importantly it can tests both network latency and bandwidth, for the context of this blog post, let's focus on the latency. Here is how to run your first network latency test:
psping -s 10.0.0.5:50000
psping -4 -l 1024 -n 1000000 -h 10 10.0.0.5:50000
Nice tool, isn't it? The major (and probably only one) drawback is that this tool is not application specific, then you may experience different results testing real workloads.
Guest OS Network Optimization
For my tests, I used Windows Server 2012 as the Guest Operating System, looking at the network settings; everything is expected as a normal on-premise installation regarding "TCP Task Offloading", "Chimney" and "Jumbo Frames" support.
Netshell command to show NIC capabilities: netsh interface tcp show chimneystats <<NIC ID>>
Unfortunately, the virtual network NIC used in the Azure VM is not capable to support TCP Task Offloading and Chimney, then there is nothing you can tweak here. Regarding Jumbo Frames, disabled by default, I tried to enable and test all the possibilities listed below, but nothing changes significantly on the latency test results.
SQL Server Optimization
Even if you are familiar with SQL Server, you may haven't ever heard about an instance wide parameter called "network packet size (B)" only accessible using SP_CONFIGURE system stored procedure with advanced options visualization turned on: this parameter, with default value of 4KB, will affect the TDS (Tabular Data Stream) protocol packet size that SQL Server will use for communications with applications. During my 15-years working experience on SQL Server, I had to change it only 2 times, and only for SAP that need a special value, additionally you may have heard many Microsoft SQL experts recommending to do not change it. Well, if you are using SQL Server in an Azure VM, probably this time you may consider tweaking this parameter since I found beneficial in Azure network infrastructure. To measure the impact of this parameter, I used "Wait Types" observation and specifically the "ASYNC_NETWORK_IO" type, here are the results I obtained testing a real application workload:
NOTE: The maximum value for "network packet size (B)" is (32767) byte on SQL Server 2012 (and many other SQL versions), not 32KB as reported for simplicity in the last row above.
Now, I need to warn you about raising the value for this parameter: don't assume it comes with no drawbacks, then change it using higher values only if you have serious network performance problems and high "ASYNC_NETWORK_IO" wait type. The biggest risk in raising this parameter may be an increase in SQL Server multi-page allocation in its VAS (Virtual Address Space) causing memory pressure and fragmentation, then it's recommended to test your application workload using the new configured value for "network packet size (B)". A safe value you can try to experiment is (8000) bytes. Details on how to change "network packet size (B)" and additional information can be found at the link below:
Configure the network packet size Server Configuration Option
Finally, if you want to check the parameter value for specific connections, you can run "select * from sys.dm_exec_connections" TSQL query, if you want to check the instance wide value, you can use "EXEC sp_configure 'network packet size'" TSQL query.
Final Test Results
In the following section, you can find the results of my tests, there are some very important conclusions we can obtain, let me summarize here and invite you to read the details later:
Based on a real application workload I used as a test case, over 20 minutes network activity, using VIP for application-to-SQL communication only introduced 1-2% overhead in the test completion time;
AZURE Network Latency Results using internal IP (DIP)
AZURE Network Latency Results using external IP (VIP)
I hope this information will be useful for you, please if you have experienced interesting facts or done other types of tests, send me a mail using email@example.com address and I will be happy to discuss the details with you and consolidate information in this blog.

The Battle Creek (Michigan) Schools Healthy Lifestyles Program
Williams, Paul, Kubik, Judy, Journal of School Health
In the early 1980s, superintendents of four public school districts in the Greater Battle Creek (Mich.) Area were faced with reducing the quantity of school health services provided by the Calhoun County Health Department. The number of school nurses was reduced, and the function of the school nurse was changed from being a primary health provider to becoming a facilitator, educator, and director. At that time, Michigan was slipping into a deep recession. The recession translated into fewer dollars for state, county, and local health departments, and budgets of school district programs and services were reduced accordingly.
School superintendents of the four districts submitted a proposal for funding school nurses to the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. After reviewing the proposal, Foundation staff asked the superintendents to dream and to broaden their perspective regarding school health services, programs, and opportunities. The Foundation also encouraged the project to include the four private school systems in the Battle Creek area. The Foundation discussed with the educators 13 health risk factors as possible options for concentration. Superintendents selected four risk factors -- physical fitness, nutrition, substance abuse, and stress management -- for targets in the second grant proposal. Educators also were strongly interested in including two additional risk factors -- sexually transmitted diseases and family planning. However, superintendents reluctantly decided not to include these two risk factors because of their political sensitivity at the outset of the project. The more comprehensive health promotion and education project currently in place, which began in October of 1984, include these aspects.
Battle Creek's greatest fame is as the "Cereal City of the World." With a population of 110,000, the city supports several federal facilities and international Fortune 500 industries. It is also the location of four public and four private school districts.
Public schools were and are the primary locus for the health promotion and education initiatives in this project. The four public school districts are Battle Creek City Schools, Lakeview Schools, Harper Creek Schools, and Pennfield Schools. The private school districts are St. Philip/St. Joseph Catholic Schools, Battle Creek Academy, Battle Creek Christian School, and the Family Altar Christian School. More than 17,000 students attend the public and private K-12 schools.
Coordination of the proposed health promotion activities was a concern of the Educator's Task Force, community health providers, staff of the Kellogg Foundation, and community leaders. As a result, project developers made a conscious effort to include interested parties in the governance and operation of the project, including the Calhoun County Health Dept., Kellogg Community College, area hospitals, area nutritionists, Battle Creek Y-Center, parents, physicians, school personnel, superintendents, family and child services, child guidance, psychological consultants, United Way, W.K. Kellogg Company, South Central Substance Abuse Commission, Urban League, Washington Heights Ministries, and Battle Creek Police Dept.
A Healthy Lifestyles Taks Force, consisting of representatives from the community groups, was formed. Next, administrators and teachers were surveyed to determined the current scope and sequence of health education/promotion programs as well as activities they wanted provided in their schools. Survey respondents and members of the Task Force indicated that sequential direction and long-range objectives for effective health education were missing.
Figure 1 contains the outline of the commitment of the community organizations and schools to improve the well-being of young people. Members of these organizations provide the project with programming ideas, policy recommendations, and directions. …

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
"TECTURA (PILIDIUM) COPPINGERI, sp. n. (Plate IV. figs. 12, 12a.)
Shell cap-shaped, thin, sculptured with numerous fine, thread-like, granulous liræ radiating from the apex to the margin, and with fine concentric lines of growth. The colour is dirty white, varied with two or three bands of a pale slate-colour which encircle the shell at irregular intervals, and are interrupted by the radiating liræ, which are white. This feature is more apparent within the shell, where the surface is very smooth and shining. Margin nearly simple, very faintly crenulated by the extremities of the ridges, roundly ovate in form. Apex rather acute, not greatly curved down, and very near the anterior end. Length 5 ⅓ millims., diam. 4⅓, height 2½.
Hab. Station 7.
This is the southern representative of the northern Tectura (Pilidium) fulva of Müller. It is rather more circular than the latter; and the colour of the single specimen at hand is different."
(Smith, 1881: 35)

I'm heading OS for a couple of months.
Others from West Oz will be meeting up with my wife and me at various points .
Regrettably I am the only cyclist in the lot and it is not a riding holiday. However, the wheel is still going with me and I reckon I have it sorted far better than you guys. Inside ten minutes I can break the unicycle down into three parts - the forks and the seat/seatpost that slide into the backpack. And the wheel that is tied, in it's own bag, onto the the back pack so it can go into the hold of the plane. And, unlike with a bike, the weight is just the 5kg of the actual unicycle. I can cart it around without a big box and so I can depart from a different airport than the one I landed at. Eat your hearts out.
We will be covering a wide geographical area around France, Switzerland and Italy. While I will not get to ride as much as I do at home, I will still, hopefully, use it a lot for getting out in the early mornings to explore a few back lanes and see the day at it's best. **
I'm particularly looking forward to fourteen of us sharing a pair of super-slow canal boats down the Bergundy Canal. Lotsa riding for me that week - I should be able to outpace the boats with time to make some side-trips. I'm also hoping to see Perth boy Daniel Ricciardo on the podium at Monza.
If the various data options I have in place work then I will try and post some pics of where I am in the hope of generating an unhealthy level of envy.
Thanks to all those that have responded with advice and suggestions.
** I have taken the uni away in the past - interstate and Mauritius - and it is about the best mode of exploring - faster than walking and it encourages strangers to engage with me.

4A: Let's imagine blood flowing through the aorta, one of the great vessels in our body. At peak velocity, blood may flow at 92 cm/sec (during contraction) or perhaps 60 cm/sec during relaxation. Going from 60 cm/sec to 92 cm/sec in 1 second is a lot different from going from 60 cm/sec to 92 cm/sec in 10 seconds. That difference is acceleration, that is, how quickly the car changes its velocity over time. (When you hear automobile enthusiasts compare the "0 to 60" capabilities of the latest sportscar, they are referring to the acceleration).

This is the backbone of my blood sugar control and has been for a number of years. I take two just before eating mi-day and evening meals and two hours later my readings is usually between 7.5 and 8.0 if i forget to take them my readings will be around 11.0.I find jarrow formulas products in general to be very effective and will use them when the price is anyway close to competitive brands.I do vary Glucose Optimizer with other products as i think this can be helpful with overall control but they will always be in my cabinet and used regularly now and in the future.
Great for Diabetics

Guide to No. 6 Poteau vs. No. 3 Douglass
When: 1:30 p.m., Saturday
Where: McAlester High School
Records: Poteau 11-1 (6-1 District 4A-4, first); Douglass 11-1 (7-0 District 4A-2, first)
Last week: Poteau 10, Clinton 7; Douglass 29, Oologah 25
Players to watch: Poteau — Jace Pitchford, QB. The senior has been great, throwing for 1,354 yards and 22 touchdowns, while rushing for 1,122 yards and 14 touchdowns. He'll present an interesting challenge for the Trojans' stout defense.
Douglass — Deondre Clark, DE/RB. The LSU commitment has been spectacular as expected on the defensive line, piling up 18 sacks before last week's game. What is still surprising is his ability as a running back. He's posted 21 touchdowns as a running back.
Storylines: Poteau — Find a way to slow down Clark, at least offensively. Few can slow him down when he is attacking the quarterback, so go after him on offense. Make the Trojans look elsewhere offensively.
Douglass — Find a way to play with the lead. Last week the Trojans had to rally in the fourth quarter for the victory. At some point, that could prove very troublesome as the playoffs progress.
The pick: Douglass 17, Poteau 14

why is bikes direct so cheap? like 50-60% off dealer prices for brand new bikes.
why is bikes direct so cheap? like 50-60% off dealer prices for brand new bikes.
Because it just is. The components are real and the frames are decent. It's a good deal if you don't mind having a no-name bike and can work on it/fit it yourself.
Pacific rim frames, high volume OEM components + low margins = low prices. You have no idea how much cheaper components like Dura Ace and Ultegra are at OEM prices compared to what you and I pay. When a friend of mine worked for Jamis in the 1990's their cost for Dura Ace was about 25-35% of retail, i.e. a D.A. part that was $400 at Colorado Cyclist was costing Jamis more like $100 - $150. Are the bikes there comparable to major manufacturer bikes from companies like Trek and Cannondale? Essentially. But limited options, zero bling factor, and big honkin' and cheesy 'Motobecane' and 'Bottechia' (defunct Euro names) decals.
I bought one. I've wanted a Ti hard tail MTB for a decade. I ordered one from BD for $1900. Couldn't find anything out there for less than double that. I think BD is for real and the members who have their bikes seem to agree. I'll find out soon enough and will report back here.
thats just the way mike does business. some like it and some hate it. the bottom line is that you get a good bike for a great price.
But I bought the BD Fly Ti because I liked the bike and the spec. I also like the Pedal Force frame. If I didn't like these products (I've seen the PF frame in person, the Fly Ti only in photos) the price wouldn't persuade me. But I do.
Let the games begin
"I knew the bride...."
Eight posts and no one has said it yet? Unbelievable.
pcad's endorsement means little if he'll only ride one in the woods, safe from the Eye of Road Nazi
Motobecane and the other brands sold primarily online (by bikesdirect) are good value for your $$. You can see that nearly all those who have bought from BD are satisfied with their decision. But there are some who would never buy online and justify their position through various arguements or putting down bikesdirect (and its clones).
I purchased my Moto IF last year and now 3,000 miles later it is still great. New tires, brake pads, and minor adjustments since then. From BD you will get the bike in the box you select for a decent price and quick enough. They are no frills, no customization, and minimal customer support. But after receiving your bike in 1 hour you can be riding and happy with your purchase.
If you ride for OCP or dependent on what others think this will add fuel to the the fire of others opinions. Or if you know who you are are want to spend you earings wisely You may continue this path.
I've bought two bikes from Mike at bikesdirect.com and couldn't be happier.... If I buy another bike, it will come from bikesdirect.
*I'm such a SHILL*
Ive bought from BD 3 times and every time there's been a problem of some sort. Bent derailer hangers, siezed up bottom brackets, etc. After this last group buy, I wont deal with them again.
Still, you can get a bike complete with Dura Ace and Ritchey stem/bars/WCS protocol wheels for $1500 when you spend almost $1500 for a dura ace set to begin with, nevermind the wheels. It's basically like getting a free frame and then some.

The wrap-up of How I Met Your Mother's ninth season came off more like a mercy killing—and one long overdue at that. But don't count the titular Mother out just yet—Cristin Milioti will return to NBC in a lead role for their coming sitcom, A To Z.
One of several projects recently sold by Parks and Rec's Rashida Jones, A To Z tells the story of a couple's relationship, from their first meeting to their breakup. Milioti will play "Zelda," the female lead whom Deadline describes as the "realist" to boyfriend Andrew's more pie-in-the-sky version of relationship building.
Consequently, Zelda also seems like somewhat of a stick in the mud. As per the AV Club's description:
"Alternately serious and hilarious, Zelda believes she controls her own destiny, loves being a grown-up, and doesn't understand why anyone over 20 would go see an animated movie or eat ice cream sundaes."
