You may be planning to research VDI-in-a-Box in more detail, or you may be tasked with researching how VDI-in-a-Box could improve the productivity of your organization. No prior knowledge of VDI-in-a-Box is required, just an understanding of Windows networks.
Virtual desktop solutions have been around for a number of years; however, they have been complex and costly to set up, limiting the technology to larger enterprise-sized organizations. With the release of Citrix VDI-in-a-Box, organizations of all sizes can now benefit from VDI. VDI-in-a-Box is often a new area for small to mid-sized businesses, and it is vital to gain a detailed understanding of the technology to ensure a successful project.
Getting Started with Citrix VDI-in-a-Box is a practical, hands-on guide that provides you with all the information that you need to understand the technology in detail. It provides comprehensive guidelines that will help you to design and implement a solution and it also helps you to build a case for VDI with the help of use cases and case studies.
Getting Started with Citrix VDI-in-a-Box starts with a detailed look at the architecture of Citrix VDI-in-a-Box before moving on to discuss the design tools and implementation methodologies. It then moves on to typical use cases, including a detailed case study to enable you to position where VDI could sit in your organization. This will help you to build a strong business case for VDI by referencing the significant advantages that the technology can bring. The book finishes with a chapter describing how you can run a successful proof of concept project using existing hardware and free evaluation software.
Getting Started with Citrix VDI-in-a-Box will enable you to introduce VDI into your organization and to utilize the incredible benefits within your management team.

90-93 points Robert Parker: "A blend of 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah, and 5% Mourvedre, the 2009 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Patricia shows perhaps the most intense, exuberant, and boisterous fruit and texture of the entire line-up. It is a rich, full-bodied, full-throttle Chateauneuf du Pape to drink over the next 10-15 years. Alain Corcia, the Burgundy negociant, ironically does most of his best work with his southern Cotes du Rhone selections. He has built a very nice portfolio of excellent values at the low end and some serious Chateauneuf du Papes (all named after his family members). The Chateauneuf du Papes are all aged in small traditional Burgundy barrels with no new oak, but the blends vary considerably. The wines, named after Alain Corcia's children, wife, and father, are all produced in lots of about 250 cases. (10/10) 14% abv.

E-retail growth rates are robust, considering the economy. Is a marked shift to more online shopping on tap this holiday season?
Online retailers may be nostalgic for the glory days of 20-plus percent annual growth. But if you look at the numbers, the growth we're seeing in online retail in 2010 is pretty remarkable. And it could foreshadow some important developments this holiday season.
It's true that online retail sales grew by 20% in 2007 compared with the year before, and nearly 24% in 2006, according to U.S. Commerce Department figures. But there were reasons for that spectacular growth. For one thing, many consumers were getting broadband access at home for the first time, which dramatically increased online shopping. Now that home broadband penetration is in the 90% range, there's not much room for growth.
But the biggest difference is the state of the economy. In 2006 U.S. per capita income grew by 6.4% and in 2007 by 4.7%. Unemployment was low and consumers were spending.
Obviously, we face a very different situation now, with unemployment just below 10% and personal income barely growing by 1% on an annual basis. Given that, the 9% growth in e-retail sales in the first 10 months of the year that comScore reports is pretty impressive. And more impressive are the forecasts for the holiday season: comScore is forecasting 11% year-over-year growth, eMarketer 14% and Forrester 16%.
With total holiday purchases likely to grow only in low single digits, double-digit growth would mean web retailers taking another good chunk of market share from bricks-and-mortar stores. In fact, e-commerce analyst Jeffrey Grau of eMarketer predicts that many consumers will avoid stores this Friday—the fabled Black Friday that's supposed to bring shopping malls to life—knowing they can get great deals online, without getting up at 3 a.m. or fighting for a parking space.
We'll know within a few days whether any dramatic shift occurs. I suspect Grau may be a bit over-optimistic. Analysts can fall in love with their industries. (Journalists, too.) And store retailers are taking novel steps to capture sales, including such big retail chains as Wal-Mart, Sears and Gap opening stores on Thanksgiving Day.
But it would not surprise me to see the web emerge from this holiday season as the one bright spot in retail, even more than it has been in recent years. 72% of consumers plan to do some shopping or researching online, according to a recent Lightspeed Research survey for Internet Retailer. The big retail chains, even as they try to lure shoppers into stores, have invested heavily in their e-commerce sites in recent years to cater to those consumers who do prefer to shop from home or the office. Consumers are increasingly comfortable shopping online, and, now, even on their smartphones. They know they have all the pricing information, the widest possible selection, and customer and expert reviews at their fingertips.
It does make you wonder why anyone would get up on a chilly Friday morning after Thanksgiving to go to a shopping mall. It will be interesting to see how many make that trip this weekend.
There is considerable growth potential, however, as online retail accounts for just 2% of Russia's ...

David West and his Indiana Pacers teammates have been around long enough to realize the best way to recover from a disappointing loss is with some rewarding wins.
West continues to have a sparkling season and had a fine effort against the Miami Heat in Sunday's 105-91 loss to the defending NBA champions. West was 7-of-10 from the floor and 10-of-11 from the free-throw line while grabbing five rebounds and dishing out three assists and recording four steals. He only had one turnover and totaled 24 points. His effort was worthy of a winning team's performance but some of his teammates were not able to get into the act.
All West can do it is what he's been doing all year: score, rebound and get his teammates involved in the game more effectively. It's the last factor with which West couldn't really help the Pacers since being a dominant force in the NBA means having a dominant team. With West, the Pacers definitely have a good start. He's having a magnificent season, averaging 17.5 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game and shooting 49.2 percent from the floor. His career mark is 16.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists and his career field goal shooting percentage is 49.2 in shooting.
By all standards, West is having a remarkable season. He would love going after an NBA title but the Pacers would have to get past Miami. As was demonstrated in Sunday's loss to the Heat, West just needs to have his other teammates join the fun in every game, with no exceptions.

Mizuuneko loves flowers. She's kept a garden in every one of her five homes. The gardens have all been very different, but she made it a tradition to plant violets and a miniature cherry blossom tree in each. Violets because they are her favourite flower, (she loves their colour) and cherry blossoms because they remind her of Shenkuu, the place she was born.
She has many interests besides flowers, including writing stories and sewing her own clothes. She also loves watching movies, but only cartoons, never "that boring live action stuff". She's learning how to cook, thanks to Zami, her best friend in her current home, Meridell.
An extra special thanks to mizumelodia for letting Mizuuneko come to live with me.

Dear HAEA Friends,
Those of us who live in the northern climates are just beginning to experience the warmth and energy that comes as spring begins to appear. This year, the anticipation of flowers beginning to bloom and foliage reappearing led me to realize that right now, in March 2015, we are experiencing a "springtime" for HAE. That is because as noted in this newsletter, 5 pharmaceutical companies are making significant investments in exciting next generation medicines that hold the promise of considerable improvement in our quality of life. This is a remarkably large number for such a rare disease. Clearly, the companies sponsoring this vitally important research are confident that members of the HAEA we will once again meet the call and volunteer to participate in clinical trials.
My dear friends, clinical trials pave the path to a better future for our community and nothing can happen until a sufficient number of HAEA friends enroll in one of the exciting research programs that are currently available. Please take advantage of the opportunity to help create a better quality of life for yourself, your children, your grandchildren, and future generations.
I encourage you to discuss trials available in your area with John Williamson, the HAEA's Patient Services Team Member who coordinates clinical trial participation. John can be reached at (972) 984-0621 or *protected email*.
Finally, we are excited about the events being planned to celebrate hae day :-) which takes place on May 16. It is not too late to plan an event in your community. Please contact HAEA Patient Services Team member Jenny Barnes (252-585-0763 or *protected email*) for information on how you can be part of hae day :-) .
Warm regards,
As part of our ongoing commitment to empowering patients by providing real-time information and updates related to HAE, the US HAEA has launched an official Facebook page for our Association.
This page is for our community to enjoy and make use of as a resource for on-going communication and outreach. Within just a few days of launching the official page, it had amassed nearly 400 "Likes" and it had a reach to over 2,000 people in under a week.
This new FB page will contain posts of all of the HAEA's advocacy efforts, including hae day news and events, public policy initiatives, industry news, research updates, etc. Take a moment to "Like" the page so that you can stay informed and feel free to SHARE! www.facebook.com/hereditaryangioedema
This App is a free tool for you to use as your personal HAE patient information diary. There are many apps out there for HAE, but only the myACT app allows you to keep information on multiple HAE medicines in one place along with an easy emailing feature
The myACT app also keeps your information private – what you record is yours and yours alone. It's an easy to use electronic resource to address any insurance challenges you might face as a patient and to help your physician develop the HAE management plan that helps you achieve lifelong health.
What can I do with the myACT app?
All of these options are customized on the app to your personal needs with just the click of a button!
This simple record keeping resource can be a powerful tool in advocating for your access to HAE therapies.
The myACT app is currently available for Android devices – Samsung phones, Kindles, some tablets, etc. and will soon be available for iOS (Apple products)!
You can download your myACT app by going to the Google Play Store and searching for the "HAEA's myACT App"!
HAE patients have the right to treatment that alleviates suffering and improves quality of life. This Declaration—which is based on HAE physician treatment recommendations published in a medical journal–outlines the basic concepts of a sound approac

The HAEA is dedicated to helping our young community achieve their lifelong goals and aspirations. The Scholarship Program provides financial support for young HAE patients seeking to improve their lives through academic achievement.
The HAEA Scholarship Program is available to US citizens with a confirmed HAE diagnosis (letter from a licensed physician) who will be enrolled in an undergraduate educational institution. All applications will be reviewed by the Scholarship Committee, an independent adjudicatory board with no HAEA affiliation. Scholarships will be awarded based on a combination of financial need, academic effort, and individual educational goals.

The US HAEA Angioedema Center at the University of California – San Diego celebrated its Grand Opening on January 31, 2015. But the doors have been open since September 2014 for this specialty care and research clinic with a primary focus on patients with HAE and chronic swelling disorders. The Center is staffed by caring expert Angioedema physicians dedicated to improving the lives of patients.
Who Should Consider Setting an Appointment with an Expert Physician at the Angioedema Center?
Book your appointment today!
Travel and other financial assistance available based on need. Please call your Patient Services Team member at 866-798-5598 to learn more. And be sure to visit www.angioedemacenter.com.
Clinical trial participation may seem like a small thing, but consider that everyone who has given their time, travel and an arm or two to a needle has not only advanced our understanding of HAE, but made it possible for everyone with HAE to have access to not one, but FIVE FDA-approved HAE medicines.
Clinical trials not only have helped bring HAE therapies to market it the past, but continue to do so today! There are MORE medicines being developed – ones to try to help us all achieve lifelong health!
Many of you have probably participated in the past not just for your own benefit, but for the future of your children and grandchildren. HAE is an inherited disease, so you recognized that future generations depend on clinical trials to help them live normal childhoods and young adulthoods.
This is the HAEA Year of the HAE Youth, so as you consider participating in a Clinical Trials going on today, please remember our younger generations.
When you volunteer, you not only gain access to medicine yourself (clinical trial participation is free!)
and help to refine the treatment options available now, but you also secure a brighter future for all of your fellow HAE community members.
As we look to May 16, 2015, it is never too early to start planning your own hae day :-) educational event or fundraiser!

Summer 2014
A Message from the President
Dear HAEA Friends,
The HAEA's longstanding dream of having a comprehensive care and research center devoted to HAE patients will become a reality in August of 2014!
The US HAEA Angioedema Center at the University of California at San Diego (Angioedema Center) is unique in that a patient advocacy organization was the driving force behind its establishment and has been deeply involved in all phases of pre-opening planning. Our objective is to provide patients who are seen at the Angioedema Center with a positive experience that features exceptional care by expert HAE physician/scientists in a friendly and supportive environment. We are confident that the Angioedema Center will establish a model, patient–friendly standard of care for the HAE community in the US and around the world.
See the article and associated links below to learn more about the Angioedema Center and stay tuned for more information coming soon about making an appointment.
I wish everyone a happy and healthy summer,
Warm regards to all,

Building A Better Future Together
Friends of the HAE community, Pam King, Chris Pike, Gaye Hill, Jeff Urbina and the crew of Bodacious IV joined forces recently to help raise awareness and funds in support of the HAEA Research Program and Patient Benevolent Fund. The monies collected will be dedicated to increasing HAE awareness, education, diagnosis and fostering research that includes finding a cure.
On Thursday, July 11th, 2013, the crew of Bodacious IV departed on a 2225 nautical mile sail, the Transpac race from California to Hawaii, proudly raising their custom made sail

A lot has changed for me in the last few months.
I was diagnosed with HAE when I was 24 years old, almost by accident, at an emergency walk-in in 1992. At first the doctors thought that I had a spider bite on my hand even though they could not find any bite marks. When I returned a month later with the exact same swelling, they ran a blood test which diagnosed me with HAE. At that time, there was little to be done – there was no Internet – difficult to do research on your own. It was virtually impossible to get connected with others with this rare disease. I was very dependent on the local health community doctors, most of whom had never heard of HAE and treated it as regular angioedema.
Over the next 20 years, and hundreds of HAE attacks later, my hands, feet, legs, arms, abdomen, and face were swelling. I stopped going to the ER early on, because I was tired of fighting with doctors about what I had and how to treat it. Narcotics do not work on me – my body hyper metabolizes them, so there was no point in going in my mind, even through unbearable frequent intestinal attacks. Several times I was forced to go to the ER – by paramedics, neighbors, or family – mostly just more negative experiences.
When the first real HAE treatment came to market, I was in denial. After all I had been through, some new drug was not going to change anything. I would continue to just muscle through my attacks.
In January of 2013, I had my first throat attack. I held off getting help, but after 18 hours, it started to get serious, and I got scared. This time, the doctors listened, found a pain med that worked, and brought in a viable HAE treatment. I learned that there were four treatment options now! At this time I was re-connected with the HAEA and was connected to Lois Perry, my own personal advocate. I had no idea how important this woman would become to me in the next few months.
A month later – throat swelling again. I called Lois from the ER and she worked with the hospital staff and doctors. My attack was resolved within an hour and I was released. 3 weeks later, I was about to board a plane and my throat started to swell. I called Lois again. I jumped in a cab and spoke with doctors while still in the cab. I was fast tracked at this very busy ER, treated, and released within hours. Unbelievable. Next visit, the pharmacist at the hospital knew who I was and met me in the ER with medicine… before the orders had even been written!
Meanwhile Lois connected me to a local doc well-acquainted with HAE – for the first time in 20 years. She also guided me through the insurance pathways. Most importantly, she took a stand for me, when I was unsure what to do, or if it was worth it. I have not had an attack since my therapy plan started. I have a qualified, very smart doctor who is now directing my care, a hospital 10 minutes away that stocks HAE medicine and they know me. I have Lois, a very strong advocate, that I can reach anytime. Most importantly, I have confidence that I will not be a victim to this disease ever again.
A lot has changed in the last few months.
Sorry for the delay on the below post. This is a message from the guys last night. Since then, they crossed they were the first to cross the finish line for their division at 4:15am this morning. A big Congratulations go out to the crew of Bodacious IV.
I will post again later today with the details of the finish, along with some photo's.
Day #11 arrives and it finds us in the Islands! 100 miles to go … and we are now into the final hours of the race!
We sighted Maui in a distant haze about 4:30 PM Sunday, and at this point, have passed along most of its length. We seem to be continuing to add miles to our lead, as our Division 6 cohorts all begin to converge on Oahu. Naturally, we're hoping the winds stay fair for us, and that our navigator extraordinaire John Hoskins and his grand strategy and navigation plan continue to pay dividends.
Fatigue and endurance are constant factors that arise at this point in a long distance event. Each crew member has a different level of endurance balanced by different sleep requirements. What makes a team like ours work so well is that some of us get by on less sleep, while others need more. At the same time, some sleep sporadically while others sleep at least a portion of every off-watch!
It would be a very interesting study for a sleep specialist to look at the nine of us in order to map and compare our various behaviors. What is most important to realize when considering the racing lifestyle is that though we have four hours on and four hours off, no one ever gets a full eight hours of sleep. So, unlike our lives on land, where most of us sleep seven or eight hours, and then are up for sixteen or seventeen, out here we are up for four hours and then down for four – assuming of course that you can actually sleep in the available window. Long distance sailing like this … and even more extreme events like the extended singlehanded sailing events that some of us compete in individually, can be among the most physically demanding of sporting events.
Here's the latest race standings from late Sunday night!
We'll post something as soon as we can …
Another big thank you to all who generously gave to our HAEA! It's never too late to help.
And lastly, a big shout out to *protected email* of Firm Solutions … for his adept handling of the shore-side communications – and for making sure that all of this groggy sailor's missives got out to you as intended!
Ok … more after we land, and after we pop a few cold somethings!
Once more, all of our gratitude for keeping up with us the way you have, and for all your welcome notes and comments.

Saturday was another day of fast downwind sailing! What incredible fun we are having … though at times I can't help recalling my Dad saying, "Too much of a good thing isn't such a good thing." Hopefully, Dad wasn't referring to open-ocean sailing when he said that!
We've been on this latest gybe all day now and we keep a constant vigil on the tracker to see how we are converging with Horizon, which is north of us and still slightly ahead. Perhaps, by the time you read this, that will have changed! It seems to us at least, that with each passing hour, we catch up a little bit more … but it will still be right down to the wire as we approach the Hawaiian Islands, where the Moloka'i Channel winds may whip up peaks of powerful waves. We are also heading now into a large area of lighter winds around the islands. This is where the race may very well be won or lost.
Reflecting a moment on this great expanse of water, a few thoughts for you expeditionary-minded followers. The Pacific Ocean makes up 46% of the water on the earth, and its total mass is near equal to all the Earth's land masses put together. That's a LOT of water obviously, but out here, you can feel that immensity all around you and at all times. We haven't seen a speck of land, since we lost sight of California. I think I said once, that a six-foot tall person standing on deck, can see approximately six miles before the curve of the earth falls away. If you view it from all sides of the boat, we can see in circles of about twelve miles in diameter … and we've sailed now about 2000 miles inside that small moving circle of perception. This means that so far, we've seen about 24,000 square miles of water! What we're rolling on top of here is big BIG! If you were to look at an ordinary student globe, that much water stretched the length of the Transpac route would be about the width of a string!
The water has grown steadily warmer the farther south and west towards Hawaii we go. In the change of temperature, we've seen a lot more flying fish, and a lot less seaweed and kelp of the sort that you find close to the California coast. Just today, we started to see some birds too. Imagine if you were an ancient navigator – no GPS, no cell phones, no computers and even a sextant or compass. As the water temperature warmed and the flying fish became more ubiquitous, you would take them as cues for your navigation. I also find myself looking out and imagining I'm one of those ancient navigators who has none of our modern instruments, and who is forced to ask how this voyage compared to any I had been on previously, or to accounts that might have been given to me by others who had sailed these same waters before me.
Though it's fun to dream of being an ancient navigator, we are who we are … and modern navigators and sailors use electronic instruments to help us navigate and sail our boats. On our mast we have three big displays that you can see from the cockpit. They show us the boat speed (we call that the "fun meter!") Presently, our top speed has been 21.4 knots … set last night! Under boat speed, you can see our compass heading and below that, our wind speed. These are all important readings that help us stay fast and on course.
We have six other instrument displays in the cockpit that show us other information that the navigator sends up to us, and that we consult in the course of our sailing. It's really pretty amazing all the technology that we are using at the moment to get the absolute peak of performance out of this incredible boat.
While sailing well is our primary goal here, there are always maintenance chores that have to happen each day as well. We must manage and prepare our meals, take care of personal hygiene, check steering cables for wear and tear (just like checking the tires on your car.) We must also check the boat for any worn equipment and frayed lines. We "roll" our halyards and lines … meaning we tighten or loosen them regularly so they don't rub or wear too much in the same place, which might lead to breakage. We had one line part earlier in the trip. Today we had to repair a large tear in our spinnaker with some special cloth tape that is made just for that job, and tonight, we found a short in the electrical system and had to rewire that. All is well though, but these are just some of the many things that need to be tended to daily, to keep a floating enterprise of nine people intact and safe for the duration of a long race such as this.
Well, that's enough to consider for one sailor's log, not to mention the fact that we are less than 250 miles from Honolulu and by the time you read this, we will be in our last 24 hours of sailing. Checking again this morning, the Race Tracker leaderboard (copied below)looks to have tipped back in our favor (yay!) … so, while we are not home yet, it indicates that the strategy decision of the past few days seems to be working out pretty well. So, ready or not Div 6 … we are b-aaack!!
Also, be sure to keep a lookout for our HAEA-logoed spinnaker as we approach Diamond Head and the Transpac finish line.
So, that's it … until later … thank you again for all your great support!

Looks like the team has a plan, see below:
Greetings from the middle of the bodaciously blue Pacific!
We're coming to the end of Thursday's daylight, sunset is an hour away, the winds have set us up nicely and we have been moving very fast all day. Wind speeds have been in the high-teens and boat speeds surf up to 18 knots from time to time … this is surely the experience that brought us here! We've got about 775 miles "as the crow flies" to Honolulu, but realistically, a hundred or so more given the gybes that will likely be necessary along the way.
We've heard from some people that they don't quite see or understand all the interesting strategy and navigation that is going on over here, and so they wonder why we are so far away from the rest of the boats in our section. Well, as I said in a previous update, sailboat racing is a meld of both the efficient physical operation of the vessel and the effective mental cognition required for navigation. Navigation is a very large part of the game being played here; just like strategy is in chess.
Navigator John Hoskins w/ computers, plotters & charts taped to the table top
John Hoskins is our navigator/tactician. John's been racing with us at Bodacious Racing from our beginnings 6 years ago now, and is a highly experienced solo and crew racer on the Great Lakes. John's primary job onboard BoIV involves balancing three elemental variables and so calculating our best course on an ever-changing game board of possiblities. The three variables are … 1) the weather, 2) the navigation from start to finish and 3) positioning and strategizing our moves when compared to our competitors.
So, while the other eight of us spend our time trimming sails, driving, grinding, changing sails and other jobs that keep the boat moving as fast as it can, John spends his time each day analyzing weather reports, speed reports, position reports and route data – all of this so we can find ourselves at the right spot at the right time and on the right course to have the best angles to the wind and seas, so that we can sail the course faster than our competitors! "Badda bing, badda boom!"
Crew Member John Ayres trimming the spinnaker at sunrise …
This race in particular is rather tricky as the typical course to Hawaii drops down into the trade winds, and then involves a gybe into Hawaii. This year, there is an interesting phenomenon called an "inverted trough" that is is happening a bit south of the rhumb line to Hawaii, but which we feel can provide us better wind from a better direction. And so, that right there is where the "game" has taken us.
You can see in the tracker screen shot above, how we've worked our way south of the pack of our competitors in order to catch up with this better wind and more angled direction into Hawaii. So, while it may look a little odd that we have taken such a different course, there IS a plan at work here. As we've been saying today, we're "all in!" Our bet has been made … and now it's a run to the finish! If theinverted trough stays with us and the winds lean our way, we'll make up some time. If other unplanned variables come into play … and there are ALWAYS unplanned variables when dealing with the wind and weather, then it could very well go a different way. For now though, we're all jazzed here and betting heavily on John's experience and talent.
Skipper Jeff Urbina at the helm …
We're hoping for a Honolulu arrival sometime on Monday … and with a bit of luck from the wind and waves, hopefully a good strong finishing position … but regardless of where and when we finish, this has been some just EXQUISITE sailing, and we are all very grateful to have been part of this wonderful race.
We also want to thank all of you who have contributed to our advocacy partner HAEA's fundraising drive. If you haven't done that yet, please check out the good work they are doing here, and consider making a contribution.
So, it's late night Wednesday, as we are still on California time, but we've obviously traversed far enough west now that we should be in another time zone … as it's clear the ritual panoramas of sunrise and sunset have changed during our fixed four hour on and off watches. A few hours ago, we crossed the 1000 miles left to Hawaii threshold. Now you might not have seen that on the Race Tracker at the same time as we did, because they installed a 6-hour delay on the tracker to keep competitors from knowing too much too soon about each other's strategies. Of course, if any of them are near enough for you to see, who needs the tracker, right? This kind of delay is fairly typical of many longer racing events.
Jim McLaren, changing the blocks for the staysail trim … w/ HAEA on the boom
Last night, in the Transpac's Daily Newsletter, they "leaked" a story about what we're up to out here strategy-wise in our Division …
"Division 6 is going to be a high-stakes gamble: Jeff Urbina's Santa Cruz 52 Bodacious IV seems to want to avoid his competitors, steadfastly staying to the south of everyone, perhaps in search of more wind in the dying breeze starting to creep across the course. In contrast, the current corrected time leader and past class winner, Jack Taylor's Santa Cruz 50 Horizon, is content to work the shifts near the rhumb line and keep covering the rest of the class. We'll see in the next day or two whether the Bodacious gamble will pay off as they all head more deeply into the Hawaiian trade winds ahead, with the finish being about 900 miles away."
Ah, what fun! Who knows if our strategy will work or not. After all … we ARE partnering here with the sea and the winds and the weather … so it's still anybody's game!
Jeff Urbina, John Hoskins and Christer Still review strategies
I hesitate to use the word "routine" to describe today … because nothing about standing "out here", sailing "on this" and sharing this experience with "who's here" suits that word … but nevertheless, today was not all that different from yesterday. The big difference today involved changes in both mileage and the weather. The winds have steadied some and the skies have cleared, so we are at the moment sailing under perfectly clear skies with a beautiful moon and sparkling cover of stars overhead. This is what we came for … amazing trade wind sailing … a most beautiful experience. And, along with this … is the glowing magic of phosphorescent plankton, which looks like streams of fireflies trailing out from alongside the boat in the wake of our path. I wish there was some way for me to show you this, to capture in a photo what I'm seeing right now … as I'm sure you'd fall under the spell of the magical sea much as all of us here have.
As far as the trash report goes, while on the one hand, we've seen fewer logs and big debris floating by in the last few days, sadly on the other hand; we've seen more small plastic articles, styrofoam and floats. While we sail out here far from land in the middle of the vastness, there is still no escape from these reminders of man's influence on even the world's wildest environments.
So, to sum 'er up … today we had a special sail and enjoyed taking part in the interesting and exciting strategies playing out on the race course. We're excited to be moving along quickly towards the amazing islands of Hawaii and though we'll sail fast towards them, I am sure as we get closer, we'll be wanting to drag our feet just a little to slow life down so that we can stay just a little bit longer in this magical bubble.

Check back tomorrow for more updates.
Well, our team is over halfway to Hawaii. Check out the latest update from Bodacious IV.
Tuesday, end of Day #5 (at least we're PRETTY sure it's #5) and we're moving along pretty well … still sailing on the spinnaker and making about 9-10 knots, even in today's lighter winds. We're learning too about the "squalls" of the Pacific. Squalls are small, localized rain showers that pop up and create stronger wind in front of them and to their left side. But if you make the mistake of getting behind them or to their right, they shut the winds down. We put some good moves on the first of last night's squalls, and so found ourselves topping out at 20 knots of speed in 25 knots of wind. And as arrogance will always beat you back, just when we thought we were self-proclaimed experts at squall riding, we found ourselves languishing in the next one. So it is, we keep on learning! Every new part of the ocean you visit, it's Sailing 101 all over again.
At present, we are less than 1100 miles away from Hawaii, and our hope is for a finish sometime on Sunday. Now that may be wishful thinking … but out here on Day #5 (You sure it's not #6?) your mind can't help play that game of time and distance and trying to predict when your first hot shower might be! We are lucky here though … make no mistake about that. I am sure that many or our competitors are dreaming of good food before showers, whereas we're worried that we won't find food as good when we arrive as we have out here. On that score, we are very well fed and happy … probably one of the few crews that will land with the same waist size as when we left California!
Otherwise, the days are fairly typical … though they never quite seem to begin or end, but for the slow revelation of a sunrise or a sunset. Today's sunrise was followed in short order by Capt. Tim's now-famous "BodEGGcious McMuffins" – Canadian bacon, French cheese on an English muffin. This is becoming quite the morning tradition onboard!
From there, we just sail … we take our watches with four hours on and four hours off. When you are on, you rotate through the jobs of sailing the boat, steering, trimming the sails, grinding the big winch and monitoring navigation. When you change, it might be your turn to clean dishes, cook, check equipment, take care of personal hygiene or even get a couple of hours of sleep! And then, you start over again. It's a routine, for sure, but time slips by quickly too. It's hard to believe we are at the halfway distance point … and maybe a bit more than halfway time-wise.
The one thing that interrupts the routine is the call from the navigator to "GYBE!!" This call sets in motion a number of things … first, the four crew on deck each take to a familiar job … one drives, one will be on the release of the spinnaker sheet (rope that trims,) another will be on the take up sheet (other side of the boat rope that trims) while the fourth will grind the big "coffee grinder" winch. This is the double handlebar configured winch that packs super powers and five gears!
Everyone in place … ok, here we go! We're GYBING! The driver turns the boat, the release lets the line go in a timed controlled flow, the trimmer takes up the new line as it comes around and the grinder spins the handles with all the energy he has, to help pull in the new line, at which point, that 2000 square foot monster spinnaker collapses, flutters and then floats around the front of the boat and shifts over to the OTHER side of the boat where it puffs right up again. And all the while, we are wishing we had a fifth set of hands to help with the other lines and such that get pulled and trimmed as necessary. When done right, a gybe is a beautiful maneuver. When done wrong, it's a bad McMuffin … bit of a hot mess. We'll probably repeat this same ritual of actions 50 to 70 times between California and Hawaii!!
So, our days continue one after another, mile after mile on to Hawaii. It's up to us to generate our own excitement and keep our minds keen. That's where old jokes, good friendly barbs and lots of laughs among great friends come in real handy. Wouldn't trade the experience for anything!
Until later … we remain … sailing over the "bounding main,"

James W. McDonald
unknown - August 5, 2013
James W. "Jim" McDonald, III, 68 died at his home in Fabius on Aug. 5, 2013. A native of Syracuse, Jim graduated from St. John the Evangelist High School, LeMoyne College (1967) and with an MBA from Syracuse University. He served in the U.S. Army and was a Vietnam veteran. His working career was in real estate development, beginning with Pyramid Company in Syracuse, followed by Edgewater Company in North Carolina, and Konover Company and Berkshire Development Company with offices in CT & MA. He and his wife returned recently to live in the Syracuse area after making their home for many years in Simsbury, CT.
Jim was the eighth of 11 children born to James W. McDonald, II and Eileen Sinnott McDonald. His parents and eldest sister, Mary Theresa (Ralph) Burbank have predeceased him. He is survived by his loving wife, companion and partner in life, Ann Harrington McDonald; four sons, James "Jake" William IV (Elizabeth) of Broomall, PA, Daniel (Lisa) of Edina, MN, Ryan and Jonathan of Simsbury, CT; his cherished grandchildren, Rose, Annabelle, Jack and Lauren; his sisters, Sally Seeley, Kate Cahill (Henry Sienkiewicz), Sheila (Gregory) Piraino, Pat Boyle, Maureen (Skip) Shigo, Coleen (Mark) Shaughnessy all of the Syracuse area, Sister Ellen McDonald of Maryknoll, N.Y., Sarah (Edward) Parent of Hamburg, PA and Arlene (Dennis) Costello of Atlanta, GA; and many niece and nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews.
As a parent Jim achieved an enviable closeness with his sons, a trait that extended to other young people who loved and respected him as a second father figure. His thoughtfulness of others is remembered by many, along with his integrity, quick wit and sense of humor, and his love, dedication and loyalty to his family and co-workers. His presence and personality were welcomed and enjoyed in any setting and he will be greatly missed.
Calling hours: 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 8, at Eaton-Tubbs Fayetteville Chapel, 7191 E. Genesee St., Fayetteville. Funeral services: 10 a.m. Friday, at Holy Cross Church, 4112 E. Genesee St., DeWitt. Burial will be at St. Mary's Cemetery, DeWitt.

Something i noticed, but havent really googled about.
Is momentum the derivative of kinetic energy; or is it just a coincidence that:
Dv [ 1/2 mv^2] = mv ??

After about an hour of looking for the best answer (googling), I realized that I had not found a crystal clear explanation for the problem at hand, not even close. But still, I want to share the only 2 pieces of info that remotely concentrated on the problem: The first one, i think, sorta confirms that its no coincidence: (read the last three paragraphs) http://van.physics.illinois.edu/qa/listing.php?id=1533 The second one is from a forum where this person says "It's important to realize that momentum is the derivative of K.E. only with respect to velocity. K.E = (1/2)mv^2 d(KE)/dv=mv Most people aren't good at visualizing things in the velocity domain - we usually use time or position. When you say, "the rate at which something is changing" most people interpret this as referring to time, which isn't the case here. In order to take the time-derivative, you have to express K.E. in terms of time, using v=dx/dt: KE = .5mv^2 = .5m(dx/dt)^2 then take the time derivative: d(KE)/dt = .5m[d(dx/dt)^2/dt] d(KE)/dt = .5m[2(dx/dt)(d^2x/dt^2)] replace dx/dt with v and d^2x/dt^2 with a (acceleration) d(KE)/dt = mva d(KE)/dt = pa The time-derivative of KE is momentum times acceleration. d(KE)/dv = p The velocity-derivative of KE is momentum. Because most people aren't good at thinking about things in the velocity domain, it is best to think of KE and P as two separate, but related properties. Different problems will be easier to solve in one or the other, so a person should be able to convert from one to the other - but don't concentrate on the relation between the two."

Everything Is Illuminated
Based on the critically-acclaimed novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, "Everything is Illuminated" tells the story of a young man's quest to find the woman who saved his grandfather in a small Ukrainian town that was wiped off the map by the Nazi invasion.
What starts out as a journey to piece together one family's story under the most absurd circumstances turns into a surprisingly meaningful journey with a powerful series of revelations -- the importance of remembrance, the perilous nature of secrets, the legacy of the Holocaust, the meaning of friendship and, most importantly, love.
"Everything is Illuminated" is adapted for the screen and directed by Liev Schreiber and stars Elijah Wood, Eugene Hutz, and Boris Leskin.
From http://wip.warnerbros.com/everythingisilluminated/
The trailer is pretty exciting, I think, especially the ending. If you do watch the trailer, go to site above and look for it.

it does look interesting. i saw the trailer. i didn't read the book.

Same here.
Never even heard of the book.
Sounds really interesting though.
- Lake LBJ Real Estate said...
It's risky material for a first-time director... But Schreiber's involving screenplay and his remarkably assured handling of the material somehow brings it all together into an effective, charmingly offbeat whole.

A partnership between the Community College of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania's South Asia Center to conduct a two-year Bridging Cultures faculty and curriculum development project on cultural divides and diversity in India.
A partnership between the Community College of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania's South Asia Center to conduct a two-year Bridging Cultures faculty and curriculum development project on cultural divides and diversity in India. The Community College of Philadelphia (CCP) collaborates with The South Asia Center, a Title VI National Resource Center at the University of Pennsylvania, to expand the CCP curriculum in selected periods in Indian history from the Vedic era to the Partition of 1947. Lakshmi Gudipati and David Prejsnar of CCP (English Department and History, Philosophy, and Religious Studies Department, respectively) direct the project for sixteen participants, all of whom are selected from humanities faculty hired by CCP in the last ten years. Each year a cohort of eight junior faculty participate in a series of seminars, in company with University of Pennsylvania scholars of South Asia such as Daud Ali, Deven Patel, Michael Meister, Jamal Elias, and Suvir Kaul, who bring rich knowledge about Indian art, history, religion, and literature. Topics explored in light of the theme of negotiating diversity show myriad permutations of accommodation or strife amongst different religious, social, or political groups in ancient, early modern, and colonial eras. Year one encompasses the classical to pre-colonial periods, drawing on poems, plays, moral tales, and selections from religious texts and epics such as the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. A tour of the Philadelphia Museum of Art's permanent collections, led by the Curator of Indian and Himalayan Art, offers direct experience with representative art. In year two, the early modern era and colonialism ending in the Partition of 1947 is examined using primary sources such as the writings of explorers, missionaries, travelers, and Victorian intellectuals; East India Company history; and twentieth-century literature and films. Mentoring by the South Asia Center scholars assists CCP faculty as they infuse content into modules for existing courses. In addition, the CCP directors create a new interdisciplinary course on South Asia to complement other area studies courses offered under the auspices of CCP's Center for International Understanding. The project supports expansion of the college's print and digital resources for teaching, as well as the creation of digital avenues for disseminating modules, bibliographies, and useful links.
A partnership between the Community College of Beaver County and the University of Pittsburgh's Center for Russian and East European Studies to conduct a multi-year Bridging Cultures faculty and curriculum development project on change and adaptation in East European culture and its impact on western Pennsylvania history.
The University of Pittsburgh's Center for Russian and East European Studies (REES) works with up to twenty regular and adjunct faculty members of the Community College of Beaver County (CCBC) on a project to incorporate East European history and literature into the community college curriculum. Two REES-affiliated scholars organize all aspects of the program: Joel Brady (history and religious studies), whose expertise is in the northern tier of countries including Poland, Slovakia, and Ukraine; and Ljiljana Duraskovic (Slavic languages and literatures), an expert on the Balkans region, including Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Herzegovina. These two scholars also team-teach with two CCBC faculty members a new Eastern Europe-focused section of CCBC's existing world literature survey course in Fall 2015, to be taught solely by CCBC instructors the following year. Eight workshops meet January through April in 2015 to explore texts in three areas: 1) general readings such as Tony Judt's The Past Is Another Country: Myth and Memory in Postwar Europe; 2) works that narrate histories of East European immigrant communities in the United States and especially in western Pennsylvania; and 3) country- or region-specific readings (list to be finalized). The latter could include Death in Danzig, a Polish novel by Stefan Chwin about forced population movements at the end of World War II); Burden of Dreams: History and Identity in Post-Soviet Ukraine (Catherine Wanner); and The Krajina Chronicle: A History of Serbs in Croatia, Slavonia, and Dalmatia (Srdja Trifkovic). From September 2015 to April 2016, the project cohort would attend monthly Saturday morning events involving presentations by Pittsburgh-area scholars and discussions with leaders of East European ethnic communities in the region. Saturday programs would be supported by the videoconferencing of U.S. State Department-sponsored "American Corners" events from East European nations. The products of two years of activities-the new literature course and the participants' course modules-would be presented by participating faculty at the annual professional development summit of the Western Pennsylvania Community College Resource Consortium in October 2016.
A partnership between Bunker Hill Community College and the University of Massachusetts, Boston, to conduct a three-year Bridging Cultures faculty and curriculum development project in Asian American studies.
A partnership between Bunker Hill Community College and the University of Massachusetts, Boston, to conduct a three-year Bridging Cultures faculty and curriculum development project in Asian American studies. Bunker Hill Community College (BHCC) builds on a relationship with the Asian American studies program at the University of Massachusetts, Boston (UMB), to integrate Asian American studies into the BHCC curriculum. Directed by Dean of Humanities Lori Catallozzi, the project engages twelve faculty members from BHCC's humanities departments in collaborative study at three summer institutes with faculty members from UMB's Asian American studies program to examine Asian American communities in Boston and in the nation as a whole. Each institute is devoted to a sub-topic: 1) Asian cultures of the Boston area, 2) intergenerational relationships, and 3) Asian Americans in civic life. Readings are drawn from studies of the history and cultures of specific communities, including Shirley Tang and James Bui on Boston's Vietnamese community, Rajini Srikanth and Esther Iwanaga on Asian American literature, and K. Scott Wong on the history of Boston's Chinatown, as well as from works in the broader field of Asian American studies. Participants also make use of oral histories, documentaries, digital storytelling, policy studies, and archival records, and visit Boston's Chinese, Khmer, and Vietnamese neighborhoods. In addition to taking part in the summer institutes, project participants engage in roundtable discussions and give public lectures during the fall and spring semesters. BHCC faculty members Henry Allen, Mizuho Arai, Aurora Bautista, Jessica Bethoney, Charles Pen Khek Chear, and Lee Santos Silva are participating, along with six additional participants chosen in the project's first year. UMB scholars include Peter Nien-chu Kiang, Shirley Tang, Loan Dao, Patricia Akemi Neilson, Rajini Srikanth, and Paul Watanabe. Faculty members from the two institutions work together to create materials and modules to enhance as many as twenty courses at BHCC. These materials are also disseminated to other institutions in the Massachusetts community college system through an online resource library.

Collar for 70-200 f2.8
Jan 24, 2010
Any idea where I might be able to purchase a tripod collar for a 70-200 f2.8 lens?
I busted mine when one leg on my tripod collapsed in and tipped the camera and lens on to the lens.. fortunately had the hood on.. the lens and the body survived, but the collar did not make it
I have been using the collar off my EF 100-400, but would like my 70-200 to have its own.. .

Fable 3 Co-op and Trading?Journal Entry: Thu Nov 18, 2010, 7:22 AM

Hey... any DA'ers playing Fable 3? The only thing I disliked about Fable 2 was you were forced to trade with other players via Xbox Live to unlock one achievement. Unfortunately, they took that concept to another level in Fable 3. You need to trade with other players to unlock at least 3 single player achievements. Which kind of destroys the entire concept and purpose of a single player campaign. Bastards!
Anyway... if you're playing Fable 3 and have a Xbox Live account, look me up!!!! My gamertag is cobain07642. If you're playing as a female hero, even better! To open the Mistpeak Demon Door you'll need to invite a co-op player into your game and... you'll need to kiss that player (in-game) to pass the test A bit creepy but what can you do. Plus female heros can't unlock the King outfit, they'll need to trade for it to unlock the Fashion Victim achievement. I'm pretty much done with the game so I can also gift you a crap load of gold too!
Over and out.

I really like Fable II tbh. The look and feel is an interesting idea and I love the way your weapons morph too, but I get what you're saying about the multiplayer though.
I tried joining random co-op games and couldn't find one person who would stand at that damn demon door with me! It remains unopened... sigh...
Oh lol. I am lucky in that respect that I have a few people I know who I can get to do that.
It's OK. I liked the last game much better, but Fable 3 is still better than many of the other "big" games released this year. BTW - Owning a 360 is like owning an old sports car. It is fun to own but high maintenance.
