Thanks for the quick reply. There is also a proprietary plugin

 Just an idea for a feature... In the art business it's very normal to make items limited issue. That makes items much more collectible. Perhaps it's an idea for shapeways to support that concept? I think that it could really add value to certain items.]]> macouno 2012-09-24T12:45:59-00:00 Re: Limited issue http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=54452&th=10952#msg_54452 <![CDATA[I've had the idea before as well.

It could be a commemorative thing. I have a pendant styled after the TriForce from Legend of Zelda in my shop - I initially modelled it for my girlfriend, changed the model slightly and printed her copy, and made the regular one public - so she has the only TriForce pendant like that, anywhere.

 I was considering doing something similar - for example, the first... I don't know... 20 (or whatever) prints of a particular product line are made special or different, just to commemorate the beginning of a new item. Or the 100th print is made different to commemorate the milestone.

 Not limited for limited's sake -- limited to commemorate an achievement, milestone, or other such event.]]> PeregrineStudios 2012-09-27T03:38:43-00:00

By the time I got the bike out of the shop the price tag had more than doubled!! However, I made the decision to make quality upgrades and start out with a bike that'd not have to be refitted after a bunch of cheap stuff broke or wore out in the first thousand miles. I'm look'n for feedback from others who ride the LHT with suggestions for what to do and not do on this bike.

How to Scare Off Geese
Do you have pesky geese running all around your yard and "depositing" their dropping everywhere? Need a way to scare them away? Well this is for you.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1When you see geese in your yard, quietly walk towards them.
2Stay a safe distance from them at first before charging at them.
3When you feel the moment is right charge at the geese while yelling, clapping, or both.
4When the geese have gone, pick up their droppings and dispose of them in a sanitary way. You might even consider adding them to your compost pile if you have one.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Fake foxes or other predators of the geese are good keep the geese away too.
- If you're the type, you can get the geese off your landing by shooting them. If you obtain a hunting license, and it's the season, it's perfectly legal to do this.
- If you have an able dog, you can let them free to chase away the geese as well.
- Another good way to scare the geese away is to blow an air horn or fire a cap gun at the geese. The loud will startle them and they will most likely fly away.
- Spraying something with a foul odor on your grass also keeps the geese away if you don't mind the smell yourself.
- If you plan on hunting the geese, make sure that you have a license and that you are careful not to harm any people in the act.
- If angered, geese can sometimes attack. Be careful not to aggravate the geese too much and back off when they start to get mad.

Army Family Housing:
Additional Dwelling Units Not Justified at Fort Campbell
NSIAD-91-101: Published: Jun 19, 1991. Publicly Released: Jun 19, 1991.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO evaluated: (1) the Army's justification for the construction of 300 additional family housing units at Fort Campbell, Kentucky; and (2) a 1990 Army Corps of Engineers survey of rental housing in the Fort Campbell area.
GAO found that the: (1) Army did not justify the construction of 300 additional family housing units at Fort Campbell; (2) Army incorrectly estimated the number of married soldiers to arrive as the number of families requiring housing, since its estimates were based on a combination of 2 databases that yielded inconsistent results; (3) Army understated the number of existing and projected private rental units and underestimated the rate of growth in rental units; (4) Army's model for determining housing needs did not allow price to equate the quantity of housing demanded to the quality supplied, possibly indicating a need for housing where none existed; and (5) Corps identified 12,497 rental units in the Fort Campbell area in February 1990, while the 1980 U.S. Census identified at least 17,189 units in the same area, resulting in a 38-percent differential between the 2 surveys.

WENATCHEE — A 24-year-old man has died following an exchange of gunfire with police in Wenatchee.
Chelan County Undersheriff John Wisemore says the man fired at two officers when they tried to take him into custody on an outstanding felony warrant Saturday. He says the officers returned fire, hitting the man. He died at the scene. Neither officer was injured.
KPQ reports that the officers were at the home earlier that day on a medical call. They had returned to the home about 2 p.m. to arrest the man on the outstanding warrant.
The Chelan County Sheriff's Office and the Washington State Patrol are investigating the shooting.

Review: 'Mad Love' - 'Friends and Other Obstacles': First date, worst date
Boy, not a very good second episode for "Mad Love," was it? Still no laughs from Biggs or Chalke - or, for that matter, from Labine and Greer, whose chemistry is less of the "thin line between love and hate" variety than the "their interactions are unpleasant" variety. And while I'm always glad to see Martin Starr getting a paycheck, "Hawaii Five-0" actually made better use of him than this episode did. Sigh...
On yesterday's podcast, Dan and I were asked about the notion of whether we'd rather see a show with good actors and weak writing or a well-written show that's poorly cast. And I said that while I think writing is the more important part of the equation, writing can sometimes improve over time, whereas a bad actor almost always remains a bad actor (or a miscast actor). So I'll check back in at some point, but until/unless this show gets its act together, no point in covering it week-to-week.
What did everybody else think?

Perfect Execution
Abolitionism and the Paradox of Lethal Injection
Timothy V. Kaufman-Osborn
The U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Baze v. Rees, which affirmed the constitutionality of Kentucky's lethal injection protocol, represented a setback, if not an outright defeat, for foes of the death penalty in the United States. Most obviously, the plurality opinion rejected the petitioners' proposed standard, which contended that the Eighth Amendment prohibits execution methods that pose an "unnecessary risk of pain" in light of available alternatives.1 Instead, Chief Justice John Roberts declared that, in order to constitute cruel and unusual punishment, a protocol must create "a demonstrated risk of severe pain," and there must exist "feasible" and "readily available" alternatives whose use will "significantly reduce a substantial" measure of such harm.2 While this more stringent standard does not preclude challenges to the procedures employed by other states, it renders their success less likely, especially given Roberts's express declaration that any protocol that is "substantially similar"3 to that employed in Kentucky will pass constitutional muster.
In addition, for many members of the public, headlines such as "Justices Uphold Lethal Injection Procedure"4 are likely to alleviate if not eliminate worries that may have arisen in recent years about the alleged humanity of what is now effectively the sole method of execution employed in the United States. Moreover, the effort to challenge Kentucky's protocol required an enormous expenditure of time, labor, and money on the part of various segments of the abolitionist community; and, with the benefit of hindsight, those scarce resources might have been more profitably deployed to contest other problematic aspects of the death penalty. Last, and perhaps most important, with the lifting of the national stay

Hermanus Travel Guide: 79 reviews and 139 photos
Hermanus our whale watching mecca is along the East Coast and 120km from Cape Town. It was founded by a teacher and shepard called Hermanus Pieters and the area became known as Hermanus Pietersfontein. In the early 1900 the name was shortened to just Hermanus. This coastal village has a spectacular coast line and is great for Whale watching. The two most important beaches are Grotto and Voelklip. This is a water sport enthusiast's dream come true. Sporting two large lagoons which can be utilised for sailing, kayaking and motorised water sport. You can also dive here for abalone and crayfish (rock lobster), however a permit is required and check the seasons when you are allowed to do it.
Shopping hours:-
Generally between 8h30 and 17h00 on weekdays and 8h00 and 13h00 on Saturdays. Some stores are also open on a Sunday.
You can expect a mild climate and although winter time could be quite cold, you will find the occasional sunny, hot day. Summer is dry and sunny.
220/230 volts AC
Situated approx 30 minutes drive from Hermanus on the coastal road you will find Bettiesbay with it's penguin colony, botanical garden and lots more on offer. This is a lovely quiet little coastal town where the homes are mostly holiday homes with the odd B&B thrown in for good measure and to assist in accommodation during the whaling season.

Nice page on Hermanus with lots of info. Seems like there is a lot to do if you go there for a week and visit all the neighboring towns
My first sighting of a whale was at Hermanus - a great experience, just sitting in a bar, with a glass of Savannah watching the Southern Right breach and dolphins porpoising in the sea......ah, such memories!

Although the alleged incident occurred on June 4, it wasn't reported to police until last Thursday when the girl filed a complaint.
The Seattle School District is investigating whether Rainier Beach High School officials violated district protocol by not immediately reporting the alleged sexual assault of a student to police.
Although the alleged campus incident occurred on June 4, it wasn't reported to police until last Thursday when the girl filed a complaint, according to a police report. The girl said she was sexually assaulted in a school restroom by a male student while a second boy stood watch at the door.
The district is working with police as it looks into the matter, said district spokeswoman Patti Spencer.
"Seattle Police Department is a lead agency. We are deferring to them," she said. "We are conducting an administrative review, gathering reports [from the school]. We'll take those reports to determine whether procedures and protocol were followed."

Most Read Stories
On Monday, the two boys accused of participating in the assault were "emergency expelled" for nine days, which coincided with the last day of the school year, said Spencer.
Initially, the district had suspended the two boys for three days. But Spencer said the district decided to expel them once it began reviewing the situation.
"It was something we do as a matter of routine. It just put these students on notice," Spencer said.
Asked whether the initial discipline was too light for the situation, Spencer said: "When the school's administration took disciplinary measures, they took action they believed to be appropriate based on the information they had."
It's unclear when — or if — the district notified police of the alleged assault. Rainier Beach principal Robert Gary Jr. on Monday would not comment on whether the school separately had contacted police.
"Pretty much the whole situation, since we're dealing with students, we want to just make sure that we're handling it as agents of the district," he said. "When we're ready to present our statement, we will do that."
Class intrusion
According to the police report, the girl was in a history class supervised by a teacher on June 4 when two boys walked in, "began badgering and pestering her" and made sexual comments. One of the boys put his hands on her chest, the report said.
When class ended, the girl walked out into the hallway and one or both boys followed. She asked to be left alone, and then one boy cornered her and began unzipping her shirt, the report said.
The girl told police she protested and then hit the boy on the head, and said he responded by pulling her into a nearby boys' restroom. Once inside, she said, another boy also harassed her and then stood guard at the door while the first boy pushed her into a stall and sexually assaulted her, according to the report.
The girl told police she forced her way out of the restroom and told a teacher that afternoon. The next morning, she said, she spoke with two other school employees. The names of the employees were redacted from the report.
When school officials investigated, the boys initially denied participating, the report said. Then they acknowledged some involvement but said the girl's claims were exaggerated, the report said. The boys were then suspended for three days, according to the report.
The girl told her grandmother, and then went to the police with an unnamed adult.
Reporting incidents
At the time she went to police, the girl said, she believed school officials had never called police about the alleged incident, according to the report.
According to Seattle Public Schools' Discipline for Exceptional Misconduct rules, a high-school student who sexually assaults a peer is subject to discipline, including long-term suspension and counseling for the first two offenses, and expulsion for the third offense.
"A lesser or greater discipline may used if appropriate," the rules add.
Tomas Gahan, a deputy prosecuting attorney and the School Violence Program coordinator, said there are many situations in which schools should handle disciplinary issues on their own — like bullying, or two students deciding to trade punches behind the cafeteria after class.
But a violent crime, including allegations of sexual assault, should always be reported, he said.
"A lot of times schools think they can handle these issues on their own, but when it's a criminal issue it affects the wider community," he said. "The school is looking out for themselves by suspending the kids. If there's criminal activity they have to report it."

Hi all,
I have been on and off the boards lately- we recently made settlement and with moving and lots of Doctors appointments, I haven't been able to write much. It has been nice to check this board every so often through all the craziness though...such a warm and peaceful group!
I am now at a little over 24 weeks, and have found out since last I wrote that our baby does have an AVSD--we had one fetal echocardiogram and our next is on Friday. We are so lucky to live so close to CHOP, our experience there has been wonderful. I feel like they are immediately welcoming and supportive, and our baby's life is already important and appreciated there. Although heart surgery at approximately 3 months is very scary, the cardiologist even said." I am not trying to downplay the seriousness of the defect and your baby, but we treat babies here that are born with half a heart, or even worse." We just feel so safe there. Oh-and at our last appointment there we wanted some good news, so we decided to find out the sex of our baby and we found out it's a BOY! We are thrilled!
I do have a couple of questions for anyone out there who can help. I have been reading more and more about chances of early delivery with babies who have down syndrome. We still have no confirmation that our baby has ds, however we feel pretty sure with the positive quad screen, multiple soft markers on the ultrasounds, and now the AVSD diagnosis, that is what we are preparing for. I wanted to know if there are any ways or anything I should try to keep from going into early labor? I want to carry this little guy for as long as possible and I will do anything I can to avoid premature labor. Any ideas from those experienced mama's?

I replace the master switch on the crv since the button got broke and now the driver side works but not the other 3 windows and even the moon roof doesn't even work. Even the keys are out you can still put the driver side up or down and I know that shouldn't happen.

The Clark College men's basketball team lost to visiting Snow College (Utah) 77-59 in the championship game of the Clark Holiday Invitational on Thursday night at the O'Connell Center.
"They were able to hit their shots when we weren't," Clark guard Derek Owens said. "After winning so many games in a row you feel like you can't lose at times, but a loss at this point isn't bad at all. It can only make us stronger"
The Penguins were out-rebounded 47-29.
"It was tough down in the boards tonight," Clark center Blake Bowen said. "This team is very physical, but on the other hand we will be able to learn from this."
Clark was able to maintain a lead over the Badgers during the first minutes of the game.
"We haven't played a lot of teams that matched up well with us," Clark head coach Mike Arnold said. "This team was able to consistently match our moves as well as bring a great physical presence throughout the whole game."
Bowen, a Skyview High grad, and Owens lead the Penguins scoring with 15 points a piece. Lucas Swanson, a Mountain View grad, added 14 points off the bench.
Clark had six of its 10 players score in this game while Snow College had 10 of its 11 players get involved in the scoring.
"It was a difficult game on both sides of the court for us tonight," Arnold said. "But with the way we are playing during this early part of the season I'm really excited for the rest of the year."
The Penguins head into NWAACC West Division play on Wednesday at South Puget Sound with a 10-1 overall record.
"It's an exciting time right now," Bowen said. "We are showing up on other conference team's radar. We are looking forward to the regular season and get the chance to take it to our rival teams."

Hi, I am planning to have a interne connection for my residence from BSNL, and when I seen other carriers plans I came to know that almost they all are providing the same thing, but the thing that made them dissimilar is the connection speed and bit cost. Thus when I was searching about the same I came to know about the BSNL plans as I have mentioned in the title.
But I dont know which one would be best for me, any recommendation is surely appreciated.

I'm really hoping the right person out there in the WP community reads this:
I've spent 2 weeks migrating our blog with over 5,000 posts from MT to WP 2.5 only to find out that I can't batch publish posts? In fact there's not batching of any kind. I have to publish each one individually. Please tell me this isn't true as there must be a hack for this. The posts are technically published, but IE 6 and 7 doesn't see the permalinks until I publish the post again.

"Check Please!"/Lettuce Entertain You Wine Queen
We've seen little old Mexican dudes who have eaten a lot more chicken livers than foie gras stop dead in their tracks in a Pilsen grocery store and stare in awe like a 12-year-old girl spying Justin Bieber at a shopping mall when they've spotted Singh. She is the culinary darling for foodies and the McDonald's-loving set alike. Despite her celebrity, she's wicked smart on wine and one of the nicest people we know.
Gilded Boy: Overnight sensation Brendan Sodikoff's recipe for successNews etc., River North, West Loop No Comments »
By Michael Nagrant
Brendan Sodikoff could be Liberace's son. He's got the same round cheekbones, the unmistakable wincing smile, and a pair of deeper-set eyes that draw you into a maelstrom of mischief, brooding and delight. Which is funny, because Sodikoff, owner of Gilt Bar, Maude's Liquor Bar and the forthcoming Doughnut Vault and Ox Diner, is quite possibly the anti-Liberace. In this era of frenzied battles for food-blog scoops, Sodikoff launched his first project in February 2010, Gilt Bar, by saying almost nothing.
This wasn't some wily move by a cunning impresario to generate buzz. It was a defense mechanism. The first-time restaurateur wanted to make sure things were ironed out before the throngs descended. Sodikoff says, "One of the worst days of my life was when I signed the deal. It was only me and this restaurant [Gilt Bar] filled with stuff. I couldn't imagine where to start." Add in the fact that he'd just acquired one of Chicago's most snake-bitten spaces, home to excellent but short-lived gems like Havana, Aigre Doux and Pili Pili, during a crippling recession, and keeping quiet seemed like career suicide.
Months before he'd almost resigned his dreams. He says, "I'd been looking at spaces for six or seven years. I'd kind of given up on the possibility of finding something that would work because it was cost-prohibitive." He lived across the street from River North's Aigre Doux and noticed their clientele dwindling. He adds, "So, in my frustration I asked them if they'd consider selling their business. They couldn't move fast enough."
And the crowds, they came. Sodikoff is the fastest-rising local restaurateur I've ever seen. Thirteen months ago, no one had heard of him, and now he has four projects on the table. His second restaurant, Maude's Liquor Bar, has three-hour-plus waits on weekends. Read the rest of this entry »
A Taco Tale: La Lagartija Taqueria brings a Bayless alum to the West LoopMexican, West Loop No Comments »
Few people ignore Rick Bayless. Those who do usually get their ass handed to them—see Chef Ludovic Lefebvre on the first season of Top Chef Masters. For Laura Cid-Perea, the Mexico City-born Le Cordon Bleu Paris-trained pastry chef, things turned out a little differently.
In 2000, the former Frontera Grill cook asked her old boss what he thought about her dream to open a Mexican-style bakery. Though Bayless believed in his protégé, he told her he wasn't sure Chicagoans were ready for a concept like that. He was probably right, for at that point if any non-Latino Chicagoan had stepped foot in one of the Near South panaderias, they'd be rewarded with leaden churros and stale industrial-shortening larded cookies. It would be tough to get past that reputation.
The weight of Bayless' recommendation was heavy, for he knew something about launching a concept before its time. Back in 1987, when Clark Street was still a semi-seedy district, he opened a little regional Mexican joint, with his mother and mother-in-law's retirement savings, called Frontera Grill. His first customer, expecting Tex-Mex style fare, warily scanned the menu, then got up and said, "This is not Mexican food. You're going to fail." Read the rest of this entry »
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels going round and round. I really love to watch them roll. —John Lennon
It's finally "watching the wheels" time here in Chicago. We've been granted a full string of sunny warm days, almost a full three months earlier than last year. Of course, this is the Midwest. It may snow yet, so grab it while you can.
I'd recommend some al fresco eats to enjoy the weather, but that would just be a critical disservice, for everyone knows, al fresco in the Windy city means choking on the curbside dust kicked up by street sweepers running as a function of still relatively inefficient aldermanic prerogative.
Better instead to head over and grab and go from M Burger, the new shake shack from Lettuce Entertain You, and spread out in some off-street plaza in the Loop.
I know. I'm sick of the burger thing too. Read the rest of this entry »

You can run Laurent Gras over, but you can't stop him. Though Gras, the chef of L20 in Lincoln Park, was hit by a car while cycling earlier this year, he's already resumed a nineteen-hour work day and kicks out four-hour bike rides on his days off. In the last two months he also picked up best new restaurant honors from Esquire magazine and Newcity. I checked in with Gras to see how he was doing post-recovery and to see what was afoot at Chicago's high-end seafood emporium.
Tell me about the cycling accident.
I was on my road bike and after four or five hours of cycling, I was coming back to the city and…when I got to the middle of the intersection I got [hit] by a car at about forty [miles per hour]. I had seven broken ribs, one of my lungs collapsed, [I had a] fractured pelvis, a big cut in my back. I [had] to go to [the emergency room] and have surgery. It was a horrible accident. I'm still recovering. Read the rest of this entry »

Pour my beer in a Solo cup and give me a spit-roasted pork taco and I'm a happy man. It's not that I don't appreciate luxury dining, but the balance between food and other details at the high end has increasingly tipped toward silly. Given the current climate, it's probably only a matter of time before someone offers high colonics in lieu of a post-meal digestif.
Couple this kind of silliness with $4 gas prices, disappearing rice and wheat, increased prices on European wines, and top it all with $20-plus pizzas, and it's enough to make a food lover grab a leg of prosciutto and a wheel of Parmigiano-Reggiano and head for a cave.

Batman eats at Ben Pao. Rather, according to last month's tabloids, his alter-ego Christian Bale does. As I recently wrote of Katie Holmes' order of Gino's East pizza, you figure folks who have millions of dollars could find themselves a first-rate food concierge to point them to better fare. Bale is after all an extremist who almost starved himself to death for his role in "The Machinist." Comparatively, a stop in Chinatown for spicy Lao Szechuan stylings or the Yunnan delicacies at Spring World is like a Sunday cruise in the Batmobile.
Truth be told, while the Ben Pao menu contains crab rangoon, it's always walked that Lettuce Entertain You line of being chain-like, but with creativity. It's actually pretty good. But with so many independently run blood, sweat and soul-drenched restaurants in Chicago, it feels dirty to devote a thought to corporate spots, many who don't buy locally or consciously.

Mohammad Islam would make a first-rate drug pusher. The executive chef and co-owner of the new River North hot spot Aigre Doux (which means sweet and sour in French) is standing next to his wife, pastry chef and co-owner Malika Ameen, and Oriana Kruszewski, aka "The Walnut Lady" in the basement pastry kitchen. Islam repeatedly dips his hand in Kruszewski's zip-locked stash, and gives me handfuls of her black walnuts (they taste like extraordinary dried apples). Kruszewski's also brought along some homemade preserves, frozen cornelian cherries and raspberries. Islam is handing spoons of the stuff to me as if he were a countercultural shaman bestowing a particularly robust strain of Humboldt County pot. As Islam chews on a cherry, there's a child-waking-up-on-Christmas-day-like glint in his eyes as he tells Kruszewski he'd like to see her at the back door of Aigre Doux every two weeks. Kruszewski looks at him and tells him he's crazy, and that if he buys her high-quality-but-pricey products that frequently, he'll go out of business. Read the rest of this entry »

May 29, 2016
Tuesday is the first day of school for most districts around the state. For mid-Michigan's largest school district there will be some changes, but the biggest may come the following year.
In her own words, in Sunday's Lansing State Journal, Dr. E. Sharon Banks wrote an article "setting the record straight" she says about potential changes.
She wrote, "While no schedule changes will be implemented for the current school year, 2006-07 is likely to be the last in which high school begins at roughly 8 a.m., ends at approximately 3 p.m. and includes a 55-minute open lunch period."
Parent Kelly Proper was disappointed when she read the article. Proper says she's been openly supported closed campus lunches for years, and the change, while maybe not perfect, should be made now.
This will be Dr. Banks' last year with the district and Proper worries the new superintendent may not be willing to make the change.

Survey Says: Garages lit with LED seem safer
It's a scene we've seen hundreds of times in movies – predators emerging from the shadows in a dimly lit parking garage. It used to be that you could look for the cigarrette ember so you could meet up with Deep Throat, but Raleigh, North Carolina has beat back the shadows as it became the first LED City. Parking garages in Raleigh have seen their standing with the public improve since LED lighting systems replaced the old high pressure sodium lighting. The whiter, brighter illumination led to a 76 percent increase in "very safe" replies to a survey on how the security of the garage was perceived. Whether the change has precipitated an actual drop in parking garage crime, or if it was even a problem in Raleigh to begin with, we can't say; but changing perception's not a bad thing, either. It's another feather in the cap of LED lighting technology, along with reducing energy consumption and the aforementioned lighting quality.

In preparation for Pulse 2010 in Vegas, I interviewed John Connor, the Pulse track lead for Storage and Information Infrastructure, to help you generate good ideas for submitting your call for speaker abstracts for Pulse. John will actually be reviewing the submissions with a team of other folks, so here is some advice that you can leverage to increase your chances of being accepted to speak at Pulse.
Me: What are the hot topics in the area of storage and information infrastructure today?
John: The hot topics in the area of storage and information infrastructure today are how, in today's tight economy, customers are leveraging storage in their information infrastructure to improve scalability, addressing the performance of their storage management assets, cutting capital expenditures by reducing duplicate data to lower storage capacity needs and simplifying the overall management of their storage infrastructure.
Me: Which topics would you like to see presented at pulse are
John: Ideally I would like to see sessions at Pulse that highlight customer success stories, how Tivoli storage management and/or IBM storage solutions helped customers address the challenges we discussed above.
Me: Who are good candidates for submitting abstracts and why?
John: The best candidates to talk about these successes are the folks who implemented them, which would be our customers. Customers are able to discuss their return on investment and how the IBM storage solutions are benefiting them in their everyday business operations. Another good candidate would be our business partners, accompanying and co-presenting with their clients on the IBM storage solutions they've implemented.
Me: What are you looking for in a good proposal?
John: As I mentioned earlier about the topics I would like to see presented, a good proposal is a customer success story around IBM storage solutions, including Tivoli storage management software, and/or storage hardware and storage services. This proposal should describe the initial pain points or problems that existed, how our solutions helped and the lessons learned that could be applied to other customer situations. This type of proposal and session at Pulse will help others learn from each other.
Me: What are the benefits of submitting an abstract for Pulse?
John: Submitting your abstract is a great way to gain visibility for your work, and your particular solution. Customers that submit abstracts and that are selected will receive a complimentary pass to attend Pulse at no charge ($1,995 value) and admission to on site VIP client lounge. Attending Pulse is not only a great way to share your companys success by implementing IBM storage solutions, but it is also a great education and networking opportunity.
Me: What is the deadline for submitting call for speaker abstracts?
John: The deadline to submit your abstract is Nov. 20th. Dont delay, submit your proposal today.
With such great guidance from John, youre sure to write a perfect proposal. If you have any questions on submitting abstracts for Pulse or want feedback on an idea, just leave a blog comment. Also, be sure to check out this justification letter if you need that extra edge to convince your boss of the value of attending Pulse. I hope to see you there!

In response to: The BIG Questions at PulseThose are great questions.
Additionally, you should consider asking yourself these questions that relate to, "What's the Value of this Data to the organization?"
1. Do you have a plan for recovery of that data if lost or corrupted?
2. How fast is that data growing and how are you dealing with the growth?
3. How are you providing increasing service levels with lower cost?
By attending the Storage and Information Infrastructure track at Pulse 2010, you'll find the answers to the questions I've added along with answers to any additional questions you may have concerning your storage, data, and information management.

High Availability Storage Cloud
John Foley 12000084U0 email@example.com Tags:  storage-management tivoli ibm storage-blog patel milan cloud ibmstorage video storage-cloud 2,754 Visits
Cloud storage technologies made impressive strides in 2009, and the trend looks to build on that momentum in 2010. IBM is expecting steady growth in cloud storage deployments, especially in the areas of test environments, Web serving, and other non-mission-critical scale-out storage needs.
Standards in this area are just beginning to be discussed and will also be evolving in 2010. Standard file protocols such as CIFS and NFS are obvious starting points for cloud storage access, but other approaches utilizing object storage techniques have also been proposed.
To prepare for cloud storage within the data centers, IT managers will need to determine a small number of focused areas to use as starting points. In the short term, cloud storage is a technology that will be deployed to address specific and unique requirements across the enterprise. Therefore, it is recommended to carefully choose areas to pilot the technology where managers can gain insight into where they can extend usage into other areas and build skills for when it becomes more widely deployable.
Watch this video to gain important insight into what it takes to deploy and manage high available Cloud Storage environments.

The end of last year was pretty hectic for a lot of us and you might not have attended IBM's "Information on Demand Gala" but as a refresher, we introduced our Smart Archive Strategy. Several of my customers have been asking for a refresher on the topic and we've just posted a short video describing this comprehensive approach that combines IBM software, systems and service capabilities designed to help you extract value and gain new intelligence from information by collecting, organizing, analyzing and leveraging that information. For more information, watch this video, visit the IBM Smart Archive Strategy Website and meet me at Pulse 2010 by attending the Storage Track sessions to discuss your specific archiving needs.

The Legend
The Blow Fly Inn was started as a happenstance operation (originally nicknamed Hickory's BBQ) in 1961 by Albert & Mary Malone.
As the story goes, Al's good friend Mac (who had a restaurant in the vicinity) was constantly being asked "Where's Al's Place?" Well, one day after too many inquiries, Mac gave in to his frustrations and replied , "Yeah, I'll tell you—Go to Pass Rd., take a right and follow the string of blow flies." Before long Hickory's was better known as the "Blow Fly Inn". For years, Al tried unsuccessfully to list his "Blow Fly Inn'' with the phone company but was always told the name was inappropriate. After several years and many inquiries, the phone company reconsidered and it was finally listed. Finally the Blow Fly Inn found it's niche among the restaurants of Mississippi. Mr. Al & Ms. Bert have since passed on and are deeply missed by the entire Blow Fly family. Ms. Mable, whose warm smile and charming personality graced the Blow Fly for over 30 years is missed by all who knew and loved her.
The Blow Fly Inn was destroyed by 28 feet of water during Hurricane Katrina. We will miss the old building.
But, our new home offers some of the most beautiful views on the entire Gulf Coast. We are committed to maintaining our longstanding traditions of serving great food with a beautiful view and outstanding service!

How to Best Approach an Autistic Child
As more and more children are diagnosed with autism and a lot of autistic children are joining the mainstream classroom, it is important that we are equipped with a general know-how of how to interact with an autistic child.
If you find yourself in a situation where you need to interact with an autistic child, the first thing you need to remember is that autism does not define the child. Do not label the child and categorize him in a box as this is not who he is. He is a special child with his own unique traits and character. Interact with him based on what you know of him as a child and not based on your perceptions of what you think autism is.
You can approach the child's parents and try to talk to them regarding their child. Let them know that you want to interact with their child and would like to know how you can best approach their child. Some autistic child are uncomfortable with strangers and a direct approach may not always work. Sometimes what you need to do is to get him to be familiar with you first. You may need to give him some distance first before you can actually play beside him and interact with him. As parents would know how to best approach their child, discussing this with them will help you have a good interaction with their child.
Also find out what their child is interested in. What does their child like to do and what does he like to talk about? Since most autistic children have a particular interest, you can use this to encourage him to interact with you. For example, if you know that he is interested in cars, you may want to offer him to play with cars or to talk to him about cars.
Do not give up if your first encounter with him was not successful. Be patient and try again another day. You need to be willing to give him some time to get familiar with you. Allow him to warm up to you and to get comfortable. Once he gets comfortable with you, you will be able to interact with him more effectively.
