Continuous delivery and DevOps anyone?
Branavan Ganesan 110000SGFR email@example.com Tags:  continuous-delivery devops vmworld agile 2 Comments 10,733 Visits
I am at VMWorld this week, in San Francisco CA where IBM is a platinum sponsor.
With the growing adoption of Cloud implementations, private, public and hybrid, there's clearly a desire in the clients exploring solutions here to optimize and exploit their environments rather than a maintenance and steady state approach. Therefore, it is timely that Bala Rajaraman and Pratik Gupta, two IBM Distinguished Engineers, are presenting a Collaborative DevOps session at VMWorld
The session is entitled: SPO 3304: Best Practices for Collaborative DevOps with Optimal Application Performance in VMware Environments
I sat with Pratik and Bala, and asked them what the impetus and motivation for developing this talk. The crux of the pitch, as Pratik explained to me, is that current conditions have created four drivers that a majority of customers are facing, that are making a DevOps approach an imperative.
At the heart is the desire in companies for agility. The desire in the Line of Business leaders to create value in their offerings is resulting in an urgent need for business agility. This in turn challenges the development organization to take an agile development approach. As more and more deployments move to a Cloud delivery model, it requires an operational discipline that is not always present. Add to this the human element. If you're in an enterprise shop, you know already that this is not purely solvable by software. Cultural gaps exist between the Line of Business sponsors, the developers and the Operations team. Notions of completion, priority and quality also are different.
Right now, companies are not getting this right. 50% of the applications released into production are rolled back. As much as 51% of projects are missing critical features. Quality and end user expectation delivery are clearly an issue.
Pratik and Bala will frame this problem space and then show how adopting a continuous delivery model can help address this.
Could we just fake the IT?

Today we trust computers – literally and unconsciously with our very lives. I was reflecting on this level of trust when I got £50 of cash out from my local ATM and declined the offer of a receipt. Seems I now have total faith the computer systems will 'get it right'. I've come a long way from keeping all my own cheque books to cross check against later bank statements.
Now, combining that faith with a little healthy British cynicism, and triggered by watching the Olympics tennis finals on TV, a mischievous but irresistible thought came to my mind.
It used to be that when a ball hit the ground near the line we relied on the human eye to say whether it was 'in' or 'out'. That caused disagreements and discussion – and - in tennis often - sulking, swearing and the full range of petulant behaviour.
Nowadays that is all replaced by referencing the technology. When there is doubt – or one of the players questions a call - then we simply ask the computers. What we get then is a neat little picture representing the appropriate lines on the court and a blob showing where the ball had hit. So, problem solved: disappointment still for one player but, so it seems, total acceptance that the computer is right. After all it is an expensive system working away inside a very expensive box – must be right, mustn't it. Or to put it another way 'computer says in', who would argue?
But what occurred to me is this. All we can actually see is some boxes around the court, and a stylised display with a blob on it. That could be delivered by one person with a tablet showing the court lines and them touching the screen where they think it landed. Very cheap and still solves all the arguments because – naturally – everyone trusts technology don't they!
Now – of course, and before anyone calls their lawyers – I am not suggesting for the merest moment that there is the slightest possibility of such a thing happening. But it's fun to think it might be possible. There is little public awareness of what accuracy the system – and here I presume it does really exist – works to. If you dig around on the web you can find out (the answer by the way for tennis is 3.6mm). You also find out there is some very minor grumbling and questioning going on. But that seem at geek level – in everyday use the audience stands instantly convinced.
So, thinking it through there are a couple of interesting consequences to real IT life:
I guess my big issue is to wonder how comfortable we are – as the deliverers of the technological solutions for our customers – and especially our users - to have such blind faith. Of course, people being the irrational things they undoubtedly are, that blind faith in the detail is often accompanied by a cynical disregard for overall competence – think faith in ATMs and on-line bank account figures with the apparent level of trust in the banking industry as a whole.
As a little codicil to the story, I registered with anew doctor yesterday – the nurse asked me questions, took blood pressure etc and loaded all the data she collected into a computer. The system was clearly ancient, with a display synthesising what you typically got on a DOS3.0 system. First thought: 'OMG why are they using such old software, that can't be good? Second thought: 'They've obviously been using it for years, so they really understand it, have ironed out all the bugs and it does what they need. It ain't broke so they aren't fixing it'. But my instinctive reaction of suspicion of it for not being pretty was there and I had to consciously correct myself.
Would you as a service provider prefer more questioning of what you package up and present to your customers and users, or are you happy to have that faith? My own view is that the more blind faith they have in you, the more the retribution will hurt if things do go wrong. Or perhaps that's just me being cynical again?

One of the coolest things about working at IBM is the global nature of our company.
Which is why the announcement of the new IBM Research - Africa (press release) is so cool. Of note is their focus on Smarter Cities. Specifically:
I'm looking forward to seeing the work that our African IBM team is going to do in this space and can't wait to work with them on future projects.
Why Is IT Agility Still So Darn Elusive?
Noah Kuttler 110000SVNJ firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  linked-data cloud tivoli service-management oslc-series oslc 4,670 Visits
The following article was written with significant contributions from Cameron Allen, Pierre Coyne and Beth Sarnie
Question of the day: why is IT agility so darn elusive?
Give up?
Follow up question: after spending multiple millions in technology to improve service delivery, quality, and productivity, why do so many line of business executives perceive that IT is still not moving "fast enough?"
Silo'd information presents a big speedbump to agility. According to the 2012 IBM study of CEOs, high performing organizations are able to access data 108% more, draw insights from that data 110% more, and act on that data 86% more, than their underperforming peers.
Which brings us back to the specific problem: Information exists, but it is not shared. Information remains trapped in silo'd tools and departmental applications. It's not only not moving "fast enough," it's not moving at all.
If you agree with ITIL and related methodologies, agility is directly linked to your IT processes. So while we can improve process methodology and connections across roles and functions, and within specific technology siloes with tools, if the data and resources can not be freely shared across process-enabling tools, then its all for not.
Going one level deeper, what is the cause of this 'information black hole', where data enters tools, and is never seen again? Your reality is that you probably rely on a mix of multi-vendor tools. Those vendor tools rely on proprietary APIs for integration and trying to make tools with different APIs communicate requires the IT equivalent of a team of United Nations translators, where each is an expert in their applications main language (API). Once successful, the herculean effort can create a constant maintenance cost, and might not work well in the end - things will be lost in translation. That said, even single vendor tool suites are notoriously difficult to integrate.
So what can be done?
Stop for a moment and consider the best example that demonstrates simplicity of integration on a massive scale. It's the Internet. With the Internet, you can get information from millions of different web sites and all you need is a browser.
So for argument's sake, if tools are the equivalent of web sites, then all we need are links to connect two tools. We can take that one step further, borrowing principles from social networks like LinkedIn or IBM Connections, where we can search for one person, and see relationships to other people (making searching for data across tools much easier).
That in essence is OSLC (Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration): A set of open, community agreed upon specifications for linking tools using web technology. (And before you ask, no. It's not a standard, because apparently standards alone have not done the job)
Data from any vendor tool is registered in a directory like a search engine, where other tools can find it, its relationship to other data, and access it via simple web link technology. Not similar to the Internet, but exactly like the Internet.
What that means is you can easily interconnect tools and processes. You can even replace tools with competitive tools - eliminating vendor lock in. It also means you can re-purpose one integration across a series of 'like' tools. "Write once, reuse-many" inherently applies here. All of this translates into simpler and faster access to information by people and tools, better analytics leading to better decisions, and better automation of workflow.
Now, IT will be seen as agile.
No longer elusive.

IBM Business Partners: Ready, Set, Execute
David Ojalvo 060001CNQC email@example.com Tags:  software execute tivoli partners to ready business ibm 3,850 Visits
I recently discovered ANOTHER great resource for IBM Business Partners. The IBM "Ready To Execute" initiative, which was originally launched internally to improve the quality of our marketing campaigns and drive higher quality leads, has been extended to Business Partners. In a nutshell, Ready to Execute is a web-based model that provides the foundation and all the elements for launching an effective marketing campaign, including multi-touch e-mails, telemarketing scripts, digital strategies, and compelling offers.
As I began researching all the specifics of the program for our Business Partners, I stumbled upon a blog post from one of my colleagues in Software Group, Jacqi Levy, who has done a fabulous job of summarizing the benefits of the program, as well as providing a great overview on how Business Partners can get started on launching a campaign. Nicely done, Jacqi!
And those who want to jump right in and start executing can go directly to the Ready to Execute campaigns that are specific to the Midmarket !

Festool "Drool"

You just have to love Festool!!
While showing off our Festool display to a local contractor recently, I could sense that he was getting very excited about the time he could save by using Festool products.
He was particularily excited about the C-12 portable drill kit, I know the feeling! I have one myself ! The right angle and offset attachments in themselves put the unit light years beyond any other drill on the market.
When we got to the TS55 rail saw he was blown away.
He left with a Festool Catalog and is going to mark it up for His Christmas "Wish List"
Do you have your Festool list made?

Prince George's County, Md. Board of Ed Member Holds Meet-and-Greet
Dr. Henry A. Wise Jr. High School in Upper Marlboro, Md. hosted a District 7 Meet and Greet and Parent Partnership Forum on Oct. 29 with Board of Education Member Lyn J. Mundey.
"The purpose of the event was twofold," Mundey told the AFRO. "One of them was to introduce myself to the citizens of District 7. I thought it was important to come out to the community to say who I was and say how I can support the principals in the school and I'm here and I'm ember of the team.
"Second, was to empower the parents," Mundey added. "It's a community wide effort that we come together on behalf of education and our students, whether you're a citizen, a 20-year-old that just came out of the system looking for a job, or a parent with a child in the system. I think this is one of those forums that will continue to make a difference in everyone's lives."
Prince George's County Executive Rushern L. Baker III announced Mundey's appointment to the board on Aug. 28, filling created by the resignation of former board member Carletta Fellows.
Mundey graduated from Bowie High School and the University of Maryland College Park. She is the parent of a Prince George's County public school student and is employed as a management analyst within the Government Accountability Office.
She is actively involved in her community, serving as a member of the Benjamin Foulois Academy PTA, Blacks in Government, and the National Forum for Black Public Administrators. Ms. Mundey has also served as director of her HOA board and is the former education co-chair to the Greater Marlboro Democratic Club.
Mundey is an active volunteer for Melwood and Habitat for Humanity, and she supports many other organizations, charitable causes, and non-profit organizations within the community.
The meet and greet included a guest speaker, Dr. Lonise Bias. Bias became a motivational speaker after she lost two of her sons died; Len Bias died due to cocaine intoxication two days after being drafted by the Boston Celtics on June 19, 1986 and Jay Bias was murdered in a drive by shooting at a local mall in 1990.
"Don't be afraid of your children," Bias told parents in the audience. "The brain is nothing but a computer collecting data at an alarming rate. With length of days come responsibility. Your child's greatest fear is the approval of their peers. Our children are teachable, reachable, keepable, lovable and savable."
Mundey will hold her next forum Nov. 19 at Bradbury Heights Elementary School in Capitol Heights, Md.

Use consumer video equipment to trace animal movement.
Zootracer is software developed at Microsoft Research, capable of accurately tracking multiple, unmarked, interacting individuals in arbitrary video footage. As the software is independent of recording devices, the user may provide recordings from any habitat type. With its intended ability to robustly cope with variations in lighting, camera movement and changes in object appearance, Zootracer represents a step forward in facilitating the collection and analysis of behaviour not just for laboratory experiments, but more importantly, for biologists in the field.

I'm gonna b in Idaho elk hunting last two weeks in September, and thinking of getting a lite weight solar panel to charge my phone so I can bivy out 2 or 3 times during that hunt, any feed back on the new solar market?
I'm gonna b in Idaho elk hunting last two weeks in September, and thinking of getting a lite weight solar panel to charge my phone so I can bivy out 2 or 3 times during that hunt, any feed back on the new solar market?
I use the Goal zero set up. The adventure kit works well for charging up a phone or batteries for other gear. I also use it for my iPad mini on long flights to extend its life. The battery pack that came with the solar kit is really nice for a lot of things.
I have the nomad 7 solar panel. The battery pack is the guide 10. It also sports a nice bright LED in the battery pack. As well the flex LED wand that connects to the USB power port on the battery pack was very nice for a tent light. It lite up my wall tent plenty when it was dark.
I got about two charges on my iPhone before the batteries needed topped off. It has loops all over the solar panels that help you connect it to a pack as well.
Very worth the money.
Keep in mind the solar panel alone often won't charge an iPhone, but the battery pack will. So having both is essential to providing the power for iPhones or iPads. Just an FYI.
One day in good sun I charged the phone in 40 minutes! The batteries in 2 hours!
I hunt because......
Thanks for that info . I have a small solar charger but it was not charging my phone, so the battery pack was a missing piece of the puzzle I didn't have, and I like the goal zero too will probably get that nice option to have strap it on our pack and charging on the go .
What did u like or dislike about the nomad 7?
I'm gonna get a wolf tag too and try to help the cause.
I have been doing this same research and i will be going with the goal zero Guide 10 Plus. I will get the AAA adapter, but I don't know if that very realistic for me. I will be hard pressed to be able to charge my Iphone and keep a set of AA's for my Garmin Rhino. People recommend that you save the big Rhino battery for emergencies so you can crank the transmit power up to 5W, and use the AA battery pack for navigating around on 2W. Look for another thread about this from a little while back. There was even more info about which models came with which add ons.
Very Cool on the Wolf Tag..... Hoping to see some Tags filled and Plenty of pictures......
First things in perspective. When I go out to hunt, I go to get away from life and be quiet and unplugged. I don't own the solar panel to keep me on facebook(not even a member) or twitter( oops got me there).
i got it for field work so my devices would have a back up if I was unable to get back on overnight work. It is also a great prepper item.
I like it a lot, it works, it's light, and offers a lot of options.
For those who can't let it go in the field while hunting? No help there from me. I don't use a GPS on the ground it's not that far when I am hiking to get lost. In the air, it is so having my foreflight app up is very helpful.
I see guys here hunting with their smart phones, GPS, cameras, computers. Etc. I can't knock that too hard, because I have been out with all that and more. Solar panels and products by goal zero are top notch and work!
For hunting and light electronics like smart phones for pic taking, light cameras, hand held GPS. Great option.
If you need more than that, leave it in camp or get a camera guy! Lol
I hunt because......
Me too! Gotta check the rules but I want to take a mouse squeeker .
I think the best solar charger out there in terms of performance, not weight, is the Orange JOOS. It can charge in the shade, charges up more quickly, and charges much more than any comparable device, and is virtually indestructible. Leave it in your tent rather than carrying it around all day. It will charge just fine there.
You may see a review of solar chargers in an upcoming Eastmans' journal.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Dow closed lower today, pulled down by a loss in Boeing stock following more problems with the company's new 787 aircraft. The Dow lost 24 points to close at 13,511. The broader indexes finishing with modest gains. The S&P 500 rose less than one point to 1,473, while the Nasdaq composite climbed seven points to 3,118.
TOKYO (AP) — U.S. air safety investigators are heading to Japan, as are representatives of Boeing. They plan to join Japanese investigators in a probe of problems plaguing Boeing's new 787. Japan's two biggest carriers, Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways, have grounded all of their 787s for safety checks, after one was forced to make an emergency landing. Battery fires and fuel leaks have been among the problems reported.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve's beige book survey finds holiday shopping, strong auto sales and a recovering housing market boosted the economy in most parts of the United States from the middle of November through December. The Fed says 12 of its regional banking districts reported "modest or moderate" growth in the final weeks of 2012. Only St. Louis said growth had slowed.
WASHINGTON (AP) — An influential group of business executives is pushing a plan to increase the full retirement age to 70 for both Social Security and Medicare. The Business Roundtable's plan also calls for the health insurance program for older Americans be partially privatized. It would protect those 55 and older from cuts, but younger workers would face significant changes.
DALLAS (AP) — Fare watchers say United Airlines is trying again to raise prices after a similar move failed earlier this month. JPMorgan analyst Jamie Baker and FareCompare.com CEO Rick Seaney say United raised prices today for travel within the U.S. by up to $20 per round trip. United tried a $10 bump on Jan. 3 but rolled it back when other airlines left fares unchanged.

Actor Neil Patrick Harris has landed a role in the new "American Horror Story" series after writing to creator Ryan Murphy and asking for a part.
The former "How I Met Your Mother" star, who is currently starring on Broadway in "Hedwig & the Angry Inch," recently told Entertainment Weekly that he had penned a request note to Murphy, suggesting himself for upcoming series, "Freak Show."
He said, "I wrote a letter to Ryan asking if I can be in it, even though I wasn't even available to be in it. To do one that involves any kind of freak, circus nonsense is going to be so unsettling to watch."
Murphy caught wind of the request and has since responded to Harris via Twitter, writing, "@ActuallyNPH of course you can be on 'Freak Show!' I have a role I think you'd love."
Harris previously worked with Murphy in an episode of "Glee," for which he won an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series in 2010.

I'm probably going to make myself sound really stupid over this! :p
I'm not even sure if it's an error with Zimbra or on my part and I can't really explain it easily.
Using CentOS 4.4, Zimbra NE 4.5.9 and Firefox 2.0.8.
We are changing our company name soon.
In preparation for this I am changing staff email user names from, for example, email@example.com to email@example.com (I'll use these two email formats to represent the old and new domains from now on)
So, I added the new 'domain.co.uk' domain in the Admin GUI. We now have four there, which I believe is OK, (I'm not sure if there is a limit on Domains). The first two were created at Server setup (4.5.6 I think) and the last two in the last two weeks,one before upgrading to 4.5.9 and one after.
Lets say they are called;
domain.biz (original two mentioned above)
domain.co.uk (two added in last two weeks)
If, whilst logged on as a User from the old domain firstname.lastname@example.com I click on 'New' to create a new email message and start typing in one of the new email addresses, say firstname.lastname@example.com, it doesn't auto-complete from the GAL!
If I try to send to a group in the new Domain, say, email@example.com, it still doesn't appear but it is definitely not ticked 'Hide in GAL'.
In fact I can only ever see names in my Contacts/Emailed Contacts or from our primary, oldest Domain, I'm sure it didn't use to be like this though!
So, if I type russ into the To: field it will only ever guess at outside email or my old firstname.lastname@example.com address.
Am I making any sense with this! Am I missing something simple? Is it something to do with Virtual Host or GAL settings? is this just the way it should work, that you only see your main Domain in the GAL?
All of the domains are set to 'Internal' in GAL. All of the domain are set to External Active Directory for authentication although I tried the new one as internal at first, neither made any difference.
Any help much appreciated! Please put me out of my misery ;)

ATLANTA -- The announcement came days ago, but students at Morehouse are still on cloud nine.
"Everybody has their chest out a little bit," senior Nathaniel Sinckler smiled. "You know we had to brag a little."
It happened during the school's Candle in the Dark anniversary celebration Saturday night: Morehouse President Dr. John Wilson, Jr. announced President Obama will be this year's commencement speaker.
This will be President Obama's first time speaking at a Morehouse Commencement, but it's not for lack of trying. Two years ago, the class of 2011 put together a video in hopes of luring the president to campus.
This time, Dr. Wilson said, it was the White House who called him.
Student Government Association president and Morehouse senior Anre Washington said the speech couldn't come at a more perfect time.
"The fact that he would come this year, 50 years since the 'I Have a Dream' speech, 100 years of Morehouse being named Morehouse, 150 years since the Emancipation Proclamation...it's just divine orchestration," he said.
Morehouse College is a school deeply rooted in tradition, and commencement is certainly no different. Each year, ten thousand chairs are arranged in the middle of Morehouse on Century Campus, where the ceremony takes place. Graduating seniors line up at King Chapel, walk down Brown Street and file into the graduation area, a picturesque open space surrounded by trees and brick buildings.
But senior class president Michael Daniels-Fleming said he's already heard talk that the location might change.
"I could understand that, with security and everything," he said. "But personally, as a student and a lover of Morehouse's tradition, I actually want it to stay on campus."
A Morehouse spokesperson said it is too early to say what, if anything, would change. Morehouse officials will meet with the White House in the coming weeks to discuss plans, she said.
But Daniels-Fleming said the most important thing is already a done deal:
"President Obama is still speaking at my graduation," he smiled. "Wherever it's at, I'm gonna be there!"
Morehouse College's spring commencement is Sunday, May 19.

Associated Press Release
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Consumer confidence is down slightly in Florida this month, but experts expect it to drop even more if Congress does nothing to stop massive federal budget cuts set to go into effect Friday.
The monthly University of Florida survey released Tuesday shows the state's consumer confidence dropped one point in February to 74. That's on a scale of 2 to 150 benchmarked to 1966 at a value of 100.
Chris McCarty, who directs the survey, attributed the reduction to the expiration of a temporary payroll tax cut that was part of a deal to avoid going off the so-called "fiscal cliff."
The agreement, though, only delayed across-the-board spending cuts until Friday.
McCarty said they would put a crimp in Florida's economy and likely further depressed consumer confidence in March.

Briefly discussed this in another thread. Decided to start a new thread in order to avoid taking over the other persons discussion.
Contemplating a custom rifle build on a post 64 Winchester model 70 short action.
Does anybody have a recommendation for a gunsmith that is familiar with model 70 work?
I don't believe the gentelman I had in mind is doing custom gun work anymore.
Thank you.

Tallahassee, FL - Meet Tom Longerbeam. He's been volunteering with Elder Care services in Tallahassee for 13 years.
Longerbeam is a substitute delivery driver for Meals on Wheels.
"On this particular route, a lot of the substitutes don't like to do it because it takes a lot of gas and it takes a lot of time," said Longerbeam as he loaded his car with the hot food.
The gas prices are a real concern for volunteers. They pay for their own fuel, and as the prices continue to soar, so does the price to provide needed food to clients.
The dedication is still there for Tom and many others.
"Even when it spiked to for dollars, we didn't lose a single volunteer," he said about the last fuel spike in 2012.
But things will continue to get tougher if gas continues on the current trend. Fuel has risen in cost every day for the past month.
Volunteers can claim the mileage on their federal tax returns, but only get 14 cents a mile.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmauAllahi wa barakatuh,
Carrying on from this thread, we'd like to announce that the hifdh subsection is now ready and to be in use very soon insha'Allah...
We just need to bring a few points to your attention before we begin on this blessed journey (and we ask Allah to make it a blessed and successul one) ameen.
What is the hifdh subsection?
Its a password protected section that can only be accessed/viewed by certain members.
Why do only certain members get to view/access the subsection?
Because we expect/hope for great results, and this can only be ensured if members are serious about it.
Why can't this be done in the main section?
The benefits of doing this privately are many, but the two main points are:
1. Riy'a (showing off)
Our beloved Prophet said,
"He who allows the people to hear of his good deeds intentionally to win their praise, Allah will allow the people to know his real intention (i.e. on the Day of Judgement) and he who does good things in public to show off and win the praise of people, Allah will disclose his real intention and humiliate him (i.e. on the Day of Judgement)." [Al-Bukharee & Muslim]
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah radiaAllahu anhu, who said i heard the Prophet say:
...."Next a man who had acquired and imparted knowledge and read the Qur'an will be brought forward, Allah will remind him of the favours He had bestowed upon him and the man will acknowledge them. Then He will ask him: `What did you do to express gratitude for it?' The man will reply: `I acquired knowledge and taught it, and read the Qur'an for Your sake.' Allah will say to him: `You have lied. You acquired knowledge so that people might call you a learned (man), and you read the Qur'an so that they might call you a reciter, and they have done so.' Command will then be issued about him, and he will be dragged on his face and thrown into Hell"....(Saheeh Muslim)
2. Dedication
As stated earlier we need members who are serious about this and this will ensure less derailing and more substance in threads insha'Allah.
What will be going on in the subsection?
Members will be sharing hifdh tips, giving advice, helping each other out and those who wish can give progress reports on the memorization of their listed suwar.
How can I gain access to the subsection?
Brothers PM Fazza
Sisters PM Rajiyat Al Firdaws
(NOTE: those who have contacted sister Rajiyat Al Firdaws via pm/comments do not need to do this, your names have been listed and you will be notified of the password via PM very soon insha'Allah)
We pray that this proves to be both beneficial and encouraging to everyone. Your contribution is very much appreciated, barakAllahu feekum.
واخر دعوانا ان الحمد لله رب العلمين
Wassalaamu alaikum,

Weight plates optional.
I spent about an hour reading about different head harnesses before trying this one. I have been using it for a few weeks, and I am very happy with it. It is well padded with foam rubber covered in cloth, and the padding is about 1/2 inch thick, so it does not hurt or damage my skin to use it. The hardware is sturdy, including the clips that connect the chain to the part that fits on your head. I use weight plates that have three holes around the sides of them to make it easy to pick up the plates with one hand. These holes are larger than the hole in the middle of the plates. The clips on the ends of the chain are so large that they would not go through the hole in the middle of the plates, but this is not a problem because of the larger holes. But if you are using the old-fashioned plates that have only a hole in the center (and I'm not talking about Olympic plates with a large center hole), you may not be able to thread the chain through the hole in the center of the plate.
A head harness like this makes it easy to work your neck muscles in a way that seems impossible using any other technique. Within a few weeks, my neck has become significantly stronger, and this has practical value because it is improving my posture and making it easier to look over my shoulder when I back out of the driveway. I do not expect to develop a large neck, and it's not my goal to do that. I just want to have a reasonable amount of fitness throughout my body, and this harness makes it easy to have a reasonable amount of strength in my neck.

12th Annual Brothers Show & ShineWritten by on March 7, 2011 The 12th Annual Was Their Best Yet
It's a subject that's hardly ever discussed in mixed company civilly, but there's almost as much rivalry between Chevrolet and GMC truck owners as there is Ford and Chevy. A good example to illustrate just how tough the competition is between the two brands is the annual show and shine held by the folks at Brothers Truck in Southern California. Since late in the 20th century when the Brothers show first began, the number of great GMC and Chevrolet trucks participating has grown to more than 300 with an attendance of nearly 2,500 people for the 12th Annual held in 2010. Everyone with a Chevy or GMC is invited, and they show up in droves. Such was the case for Central California's C10 Club that rolled in 22 trucks deep and took the award for Best Participation, in addition to receiving individual awards. When it comes to out-pointing the next guy's interior, it's pretty hard to stack up against a Suburban. C10 club member Ace from Clovis took the award for Best '67-'72 Suburban Interior with his laser red 'Burb, and Chris Markley won Best '60-'66 Interior with his '66.
Getting back to that GMC versus Chevy thing, you'll notice there's almost as many good looking GMCs as there are Chevys, and as one spectator was overheard to say, "Gosh, there's hardly any Fords here at all." For a more in-depth look at who won what, check out www.brotherstrucks.com.

A panel truck loaded down with factory options was not a common sight back when this '55 Chevy first hit the showroom floor. The chances are good owner Norman Carrera went to a lot of effort tracking down the extra GM goodies seen on his. Note the aforementioned obscured license plate.The hardworking gals at Brothers kept it all together while the guys judged trucks and ate donuts... lots of donuts.The hardworking gals at Brothers kept it all together while the guys judged trucks and ate donuts... lots of donuts.One has to get up real early in the morning to beat Guy Adame and his Fawn Mist with a white top '65 Chevy C10. His registration card showed he was entrant number one.The family whose trucks lay together stays together. Harold Davis and his wife parked their '55 Chevy 3100 with a hydraulic dump bed designed to ease changing the Pro Street-style tires next to their daughter Terrie's '66.Robert Bennecke went the damn near stock route with his '66 Chevy C10. It's hard to say if Robert kept his '66 exactly as it came from the factory or loaded it up with reproduction optional goodies available from the fine folks at Brothers.
Another good example of an old "Jimmy" still pulling its own weight is Michael Parra's purple '52 five-window.Because there's a '59 emblem on a '57 hood who knows what year this Tri-Five really is? It could be a '56; that would go with the '56 Ford V-8 emblem in the center of the custom grille. Other custom items include side pipes and a louvered chrome visor.Sure, it's not polite to point, but who could resist bringing attention to the magnificent headlights on this '39 Chevy?At left Robert Alaniz' Big-Window '57 GMC is slammed in the sticks next to Bob Miranda's silver Big-Window '55 Chevy at right.A good rule of thumb is the lower the truck, the younger the owner. This held true for Anthony Ibarra and his air-slammed '48 GMC. Unfortunately his mom has gotten a few more gray hairs since he finished the '48.

Dash Restoration: How To Restore Your Mopar DashWritten by Douglas Glad on April 25, 2012
There was a time when you'd hole-saw your muscle car's dash for a set of Sun Tune gauges, just to know how much gas you had in the tank. That was before the price of a rare Mopar convertible wiggled its way into the seven-figure price range. That tide floated your crusty B-body north of $25,000, and now could be the time to sell. To hook interested buyers, your heap has to look good and be right. That includes a properly functioning, stock-appearing dashboard. Time for a dash restoration!
To see the method for a proper dash restoration, we went to Redline Gauge Works in Santa Clarita, California, and met with Shannon Hudson. You might have seen his dash restoration work on more than a few high-end show-car builds. His hand graces the dashboards of many glossy-magazine trophy queens, and, luckily for you, the dash of virtually anyone that has $800 to $900 to spend restoring the most looked-at component on the entire vehicle.

The dash that he used to show us how it's done is from a '69 Charger. The tricks you will see here apply specifically to most '60s and '70s Chrysler passenger cars and even creepy old motorhomes. Hudson will work on nearly anything.All of the gauges are either stripped and repainted or replaced and recalibrated. Depending on your preference, you can use the factory senders and movement or upgrade all or some of the gauges to modern electronics.The stock Mopar clock is electro-mechanical. It has a set of points that open and close as the clock runs for four minutes then winds. "The problem with the design is the points only lasted for a year then would freeze up and stop the clock," says Hudson. "We replace the movement with modern quartz internals. The quartz is more accurate and eliminates the entire points mechanism."The speedometer is disassembled and greased, and any worn parts are replaced. The odometer is reset to zero or the original mileage depending on the customer's preference. It can also be converted to Auto Meter electronic internals to work with late-model speed sensors.The factory ammeter has two studs that are pressed into the back of the assembly. In the '80s, guys would add the larger police alternator to power the eight-track or CB radio and peg the ammeter. The studs would overheat and cook the fiberboard causing a short and/or a nice fire. Hudson solders the studs and rebuilds the ammeter or converts it to a voltmeter.If you have a factory tach, Hudson replaces the ancient internals with modern VDO components. On the left are the new tach internals that can be used with aftermarket or stock ignitions, including GM LS, Ford modular, or Chrysler new Hemi. In the center are the original tach internals, and on the right is the original meter movement.Hudson jumps the rheostat on the dimmer switch and applies full voltage to the dash lights when the headlights are on, while allowing you to operate the dome light. The other option is to replace the rheostat. Hudson says no one complains about how bright the dash lights are.All the switches are cleaned or replaced. New rocker switches and knobs can be purchased from BE&A Restoration Parts or through Redline.
The dashboard uses a mechanical points-style voltage regulator to control the fuel, temperature, and oil gauges. When it fails, the gauge pegs to full and can burn out. Hudson replaces it with a solid-state regulator that lasts longer and doesn't get hot.The plastic lens covers are replaced or wet-sanded to remove scratches, then buffed with Meguiar's PlastX and a Mothers Power Cone.The inside of the cluster is cleaned and repainted white. The blue diffusers, lamps, and sockets are also repaired (if the plastic isn't cooked) or replaced, as needed. The finished instrument panel is ready to install.Hudson restored these gauges using the factory colors and fonts, but that doesn't mean you have to. Many customers come up with their own schemes to match the paint or interior of the car. Hudson can add your shop logo or use any computer-generated design. If you send in a Photoshop file, he can create a gauge face for you.Here is an example of custom colors and fonts. You can run the numbers backward, or upside down, or even make them spell your name.This is a Dart insert with standard gauge faces. You can send this to Redline and it will change the faces, colors, and even the lighting. Or just call and buy the parts direct.This dash is from a Fox-body Mustang built by a company called Chicane. You can see Hudson's work on some Leno cars as well.

Dick Molpus spoke to members of the Meridian chapter of Parents for Public Schools Tuesday night.
Molpus, who served three terms as Mississippi Secretary of State, and his wife, Sally, founded Parents for Public Schools.
He told the local chapter that a thriving community comes from thriving public schools.
Molpus said didn't agree with an earlier version, but he believes the Mississippi Legislature has carved out a good bill expanding charter schools in the state. He says the key is sufficient funding.
"We've got to remember that we are $300 million underfunded from the Mississippi Adequate Education Act. So we can tinker around the edges, but until we make sure that we have enough financial resources, our students will always be left behind. We are 50th in financial resources; we're 50th in achievement. And it's not just a coincidence those numbers match up," Molpus said.

Your Seasonal Depression is Real and it's Easier to Deal with SAD Than You Think
I'm not afraid to admit I get a little bummed out as summer transitions to autumn, and then to winter. The perfectly named Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), is an affliction of which I've always suffered, but for the longest time I thought I was being an overly sensitive wimp. After a mild and jovial summer, the cool air that gusts melancholy over the Midwest in early September had me wondering if I was about to get SAD again, if it was a legitimate condition, and if so, what I could do fight it.
I shot our resident mental health expert, Brooke Randolph, LMHC an email asking her about SAD, and she revealed that after two decades of speculation, SAD had officially been classified as a common disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). In 2008—before SAD was an official diagnosis—Brooke wrote, "Our natural response to the seasonal changes only becomes a disorder when the distress is in excess of what would be expected from the stressor (seasonal change) and/or when it interferes with functioning in more than one key life area." For example, if seasonal change begins to negatively impact your responsibilities as an employee, student, or partner, you probably have SAD.

Working at KGON in the late 80's was a big part of my early broadcasting career. I have great memories from that time in Portland and at KGON. Playing timeless Rock Classic that were produced when budgets for recording were so high and the psycho acoustics and analog warmth made listening such an enjoyable experience. Mix that audio Phatness with today's HD and it is better sounding then ever! KGON Rocks with a perfect amount of cowbell!

Record Store Love
by Iris Harrison
posted Apr 15 2013 5:28PM
My first love affair with a record store was with Odyssey Records on Cannery Row in Monterey. It was right next door to Doc Ricketts place, the man made famous by the John Steinbeck novel about the legendary Row. I've always been a big Steinbeck fan, and I loved hanging out around Cannery Row. I had dancing classes at a studio that's now an expensive fish house called The Sardine Factory in the area for most of grade school. As a result, I knew Cannery Row pretty well. I also knew the studios of KMBY were in the Bear Flag Building where Flora's whorehouse really was. That's where my first love of radio started, but that's another story.
In my little hometown, you could walk from my house to Cannery Row in less than an hour, so that was a common destination for me. It was rich in history and smells. There was a coffee roaster sort of near Doc's place, a candy store, a tea house, an import place, and the Outrigger which was a fancy place that my folks would take me as a kid. The smell of the working canneries, which my mother described to me when Monterey Bay was full of sardines, was no longer there. There was just the smell of the ocean and the things that lived in it. Odyssey Records had a smell that I loved wafting out the door…incense.
I remember that I first noticed Odyssey when John and Yoko's "Two Virgins" album was released. The reason I remember it clearly was because they were both naked on the cover, and Odyssey had the poster with all their parts proudly displayed in the store window. I stepped into a world that I loved. The smell of incense, really great music on the big speakers, racks and racks of dreamy vinyl, and the walls covered with posters. There was a black light room for the special posters painted in Day-Glo and I bought The Endless Summer poster there.
I wish I still had that poster because when I met the artist, Jon Van Hamersveld, he told me that the original run of those were worth pretty good money. Plus, he could have signed it for me.
So, I spent many hours wrapped in the womb of Odyssey, discovering music, and buying what I could with my babysitting money.
When I moved to Portland in 1976, I found Music Millennium. The store had the same vibe as my beloved Odyssey, and the smell was pretty much the same. Incense, candles, paraphernalia, posters, t-shirts, stickers and lots of lovely vinyl. Odyssey is no longer on Cannery Row. The old location is now part of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, but Music Millennium is still around at the original location of SE 32
and Burnside.
Thank God for Terry Currier for keeping the banner flying high! Thank God Portland is weird and proud of it. Thank God we can actually celebrate National Record Store Day this Saturday, April 20
, at an actual independent record store that has been around since 1969 serving the needs of Portland's music fanatics.
Plan on making a visit to the store this week. You don't have to wait until Saturday, but if you do, you'll get in on some freebies, and coffee and muffins if you wait in line before the store opens at 8am. While you're there, register for the KGON prize pack: Doors CD's, John Densmore's new book, and a secured place at the front of the line to get the book signed in May when he visits the store!
In fact, I think I'll head there now. Just because I enjoy being there, and I know I'll find something I can't possibly live without.

Whenever I'm in the old hood of buena park, ca., I purposely patronize the only small record store there or anywhere down there that i'm aware of -as it is always a pleasant surprise to see the place still operating. I want them to succeed, as so many small time record stores are not making it.
Music Millennium my favorite record store
Ive been going there for years from back in the day when everything was on vinyl to now for CD's. Get them new or used for cheap. Great place, and its on the East side of Portland my side of town.
Good memories...records!
Afraid they're a thing of the past, searching through the 45's quickly for a song you just heard on the radio or maybe memorized by the 1000th time you heard it on the radio, paying up your hard earned 75cents-from babysitting for 50cents an hour. I never thought I'd live to hear myself sound like Grandma and Grandpa about how things changed, but this is one thats probably LOST on my Grandkids, what? Work for 50 cents an hour? record? whats that? Album, vinyl? what? The could use a computer before they were potty trained. Boy am I dumb.
Record stores
I discovered so many great albums and artist just from browsing at the record store. Once in a while you'd find a great collectable as well. It's just not the same with on-line retailers.
Record stores.
While growing up in Orange County, southern California, there was a not so well known but way-cool record store on the corner of Beach and Ball. Beggars Banquet. And if you slipped past the Tapestry curtain into the back room, you were greeted by hundreds of Bootleg albums. Yes, those were the days... Russ

Now that Helicobacter pylori has been identified as a major cause of peptic ulcers, the usefulness of making certain lifestyle changes has been called into question. Still, some lifestyle changes may decrease your production of stomach acid, decrease your susceptibility to peptic ulcers, and help you control your symptoms. Smoking cessation is considered essential in reducing the development and symptoms of peptic ulcers.
- Stop smoking
- Don't abuse alcohol
Some studies show that cigarette smokers have a higher risk of peptic ulcers. These studies have also shown that ulcers in cigarette smokers heal more slowly and have a greater chance of recurring. If you smoke, talk to your doctor about ways to help yourself stop.
Heavy alcohol use has been linked to an increased risk of peptic ulcers. Drinking alcohol while you are taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can greatly increase your risk of stomach irritation and peptic ulcer development. Alcohol may also worsen your symptoms if you already have a peptic ulcer.
Always call your doctor if:
- Symptoms don't improve or recur with treatment
- Symptoms get worse despite treatment
- You notice new symptoms.

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - The Cleveland Indians' bats made Terry
Francona's return to Fenway Park as an opposing manager a resounding success.
Mark Reynolds and Drew Stubbs each had three hits with three RBI in
Cleveland's 12-3 rout of the Boston Red Sox.
Francona led the Red Sox to two World Series titles during his eight-year
stint as the club's skipper. He was let go after Boston's late-season collapse
in 2011 left them out of the playoffs.
The Indians pounded out 16 hits in the opener of a four-game series. Michael
Bourn and Yan Gomes knocked in two runs apiece, while Carlos Santana drew a
career-high four walks and scored three times.
Cleveland starter Zach McAllister (4-3) held the Red Sox to five hits. The
only blemish over his five-inning outing was a three-run homer by David Ortiz.
Ryan Dempster (2-5) lasted just three innings in the start for Boston. He
allowed four runs on five hits and four walks.

Troubled pop star Justin Bieber has been named the most overexposed celebrity of 2014 in a new poll by editors at Forbes Magazine.
The "Baby" hitmaker tops the list of more than 6,600 celebrities, which has been put together using public opinion polling.
Bieber was cited as overexposed by 67 percent of the respondents, due in part to his recent legal troubles, including his DUI arrest in January.
PHOTOS: Justin Bieber through the years | Top 20 Bieber bad-boy moments | Miley Cyrus through the years
Bieber's inclusion on this year's list is unusual, as it is usually dominated by reality TV stars, including Kim Kardashian, who placed second with a 61 percent rating.
Her sisters Kourtney and Khloe rank ninth and 10th, respectively, with their mother/manager Kris Jenner tying for sixth place with former Jersey Shore star Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi at 55 percent.
Coming in third is actress Lindsay Lohan with 59 percent, controversial singer Miley Cyrus in fourth with 57 percent, and child TV star Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson rounds out the top five at 56 percent.

St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Russell Martin hit two of Pittsburgh's four
home runs to back a second straight solid outing from Jeff Locke.
The Pirates left-hander held St. Louis to three singles over seven scoreless
innings, as Pittsburgh beat the Cardinals, 9-0, in the rubber match of a
three-game set at Busch Stadium.
Locke (3-1) picked up from where he left off in his previous starting
assignment. He gave up only two hits in six frames of Tuesday's 2-0 win at
Jose Tabata and Garrett Jones each launched solo homers for the Pirates, who
improved to 14-5 in their last 19 games.
Shelby Miller (3-2) had seven strikeouts but surrendered three runs on seven
hits and three walks in 5 2/3 innings for St. Louis, which lost its first
series since dropping two of three to Arizona to begin the season.
Martin belted a solo shot to open the scoring in the second and his two-run
blast capped a five-run ninth that included a two-run single by Pedro Alvarez.
Tabata took Miller deep with two outs in the fifth, and John McDonald greeted
St. Louis reliever Fernando Salas in the next frame with a double that scored
Brandon Inge.
Jones homered off Salas with two gone in the seventh.
Game Notes
Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle picked up his 700th career win ... The Pirates
have won 15 games in the first month of the season for the first time since
1992 ... Martin and Jones each had three hits.

Texas Governor Rick Perry on why Obamacare will fail
Newscast Media AUSTIN, Texas—Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi had an assignment to accomplish in the first four years, which was to thrust Obamacare upon Americans. To accomplish the assignment, she did, but many states have no plans of implementing it, since most are run by Republican governors—the most vocal critic of Obamacare being Texas Governor Rick Perry.
The governor has already made it clear that Texas will not participate in the health care law, and in a defiant letter to U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, sent three weeks ago, Perry pretty much, euphemistically, told Sebelius where to shove Obamacare.
Perry ended the brief letter by saying: "Our state will not be party to helping facilitate the Taxation of millions of Texans, at an unknown cost, to implement bad public policy." Click here to read or download Rick Perry's letter.
Remember, the key to facilitating a log with private information of all Americans is through a centralized database. The insurance companies that wrote Obamacare, suggested a health care database. That is Obama's assignment for his second term by the globalists who financed his campaign.
The ultimate end game is to usher in a system containing everyone's private information, that can be stored on a card containing a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip.
In his USA Today article, Stephen T. Parente is a finance professor at the University of Minnesota writes: "Similar information is collected when you apply for a mortgage. But when the constantly updated information is combined in a central data hub, the potential for abuse is staggering. For one thing, the hub will have all the details needed to steal identities and fraudulently access credit."
In his most recent interview with Forbes, Gov. Perry said about Obamacare, "Well, I'm not sure Obamacare is going to be successful. And one of the reasons I'm not sure it's going to be successful is because the exchanges are not going to work. And the exchanges are not going to work because states are wise enough not to go into a relationship when you don't know what the rules are…so on its face, Obamacare may fail because they don't have the expertise nor the money."
As a hint that a second presidential bid in 2016 has not been ruled out, Rick Perry concluded the interview by saying, "So I think that the message in 2016 is going to be, "Look at what people who truly have the responsibility for delivering services, whether it's education or transportation infrastructure, or power, or health care. Who are the people that are really doing it? And who are the people that are being successful?" And the message in 2016 is going to be, "It's Republican governors that are truly making America work better, health care being in one of those areas."

"Bon-Bon," by P. Wadsworth, Biology Department, UMass Amherst.
Reminiscent of a wrapped piece of candy tied at each end, this image shows the mitotic spindle, a tiny cellular machine made of hundreds of very thin polymers, each ~1/1000 the diameter of a strand of hair. The spindle appears suspended in the center of this cell, the edges of which are filled with a cloud of filaments (blue). The mitotic spindle forms each time a cell divides into two. The spindle polymers attach themselves to the duplicated chromosomes and help move them into the two daughter cells. In a typical adult human, there are at least 10^6 divisions each minute!
This image was included in an exhibit titled "VISUAL: Ventures in Science Using Art Laboratory," shown at the National Science Foundation (NSF) headquarters in Arlington, Va., April 2006 through June 2007, as part of The Art of Science Project. The Art of Science Project was conceived and implemented by a cross-directorate committee of NSF staff. Its purpose is to bring to NSF, original works of art that visually explore the connections between artistic and scientific expression. (Date of Image: 2000-2006) [One of 13 related images. See Next Image.]
More about "VISUAL: Ventures in Science Using Art Laboratory"
Just as beauty lies in the natural world, it also lies in the natural phenomena that scientists capture every day in the experiments that bring them closer to proving scientific theory. VISUAL, an outreach effort of the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center on Polymers at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst (an NSF materials research center), attempts to bring the two worlds of art and science together, not only to allow people to discover the beauty of this scientific imagery, but to inspire a wider range of interest in science through the visual arts. This effort has resulted in programs that use visual arts to promote materials science research on polymers for students in grades K to 12, as well as to the general public. These captivating images, each a direct result from research conducted on the UMass Amherst campus, have been displayed throughout the community. From exhibitions at local museums to displays at the public library and the department of motor vehicles, VISUAL reaches many sectors of the community, exposing people to materials science and educating them about the research happening in their own backyard.
The core mission of the VISUAL program is expressed in the simple maxim, "the eye is not satisfied at seeing." The beauty of the imagery draws viewers to look more closely at the image, inspiring them to want to know more. Thus begins the inquiry-based journey of learning about the origin of the image and the means by which it was captured. This link between the image and scientific understanding distinguishes VISUAL from other image-based programs. Accompanying each image is a non-technical explanation about the science underlying the image and the methods used to obtain the result, as well as a potential application of the science. By conveying the science in common, understandable terms, the scientist imparts to the viewer an appreciation of the importance of the science, in addition to the beauty of the image.
