I am not familiar with Solaris. But I always dedicate limited amount of memory to Linux Dom0 since Linux will allocate memory for "memory metadata" and some of the network configuration is based on the memory amount:

We have experience that sshd crashes when balloning Dom0's memory out.

Just remember, that's "on" your bike, not "with" your bike. If you don't make it, we expect you to die in the saddle, not next to the bike.

Best wishes. ;-)

But what about a Solaris domU that
 was configured with memory="512",
 and later on, when the domU is already
 booted, you notice that the domU
 could use more memory?

While you can try this in dom0...
 xm mem-max solaris 1024
 xm mem-set solaris 1024

... the solaris domU just refuses to use
 the extra memory and complains with
 something like

unix: WARNING: New balloon target (0x138800 pages) is larger than original memory size (0x100000 pages). Ballooning beyond original memory size is not allowed.

It seems that with a linux domU, you can
 - specify "memory" & and "maxmem"
 in the domU's config file
 - pass a parameter "mem=xxxxM" to
 the domU kernel (where the amount
 xxxx of memory corresponds to the
 maxmem config parameter)

The linux domU starts with "memory"
 abount of memory, but that can be
 increased later on up to "maxmem".

I'm not sure if I fully understand the question, but setting the amount of memory in a .py file is as easy as specifying a memory line:
 # cat guest.py name = "example1" vcpus = 2 memory = "512" #extra = "-kd" root = "/dev/dsk/c0d0s0" disk = ['file:/export/guests/solaris/0/disk.img,0,w'] vif = [''] on_shutdown = "destroy" on_reboot = "restart" on_crash = "destroy"

Since memory is 512, this domain will have 512 MB of memory. https://blogs.oracle.com/rscott/entry/changing_a_domain_s_memory#comment-1185429816000 Re: Changing a Domain's Memory Size Under Xen jimmiinguyen 2007-07-26T06:03:36+00:00 2007-07-26T06:03:36+00:00 Hi, Thanks for your post, is there a solution to let the memory of domain pass the amount of memory in the configuration file? https://blogs.oracle.com/rscott/entry/balloon_thread_code#comment-1185276370000 Re: Balloon Thread Code Ryan Scott 2007-07-24T11:26:10+00:00 2007-07-24T11:26:10+00:00 Because sparc has a 10+ year head start on us :) The process will be similar to the sparc DR code in usr/src/uts/common/os/mem_config.c, but there are enough subtle differences that we just can't copy that code and paste it into balloon.c https://blogs.oracle.com/rscott/entry/balloon_thread_code#comment-1185265127000 Re: Balloon Thread Code Me 2007-07-24T08:18:47+00:00 2007-07-24T08:18:47+00:00 So why is it that I can drop a CPU/memory board into a E2900 and Solaris will dynamically use those resources, but it's not possible to virtually do the same to a Xen domU? https://blogs.oracle.com/rscott/entry/building_and_deploying_opensolaris#comment-1184848389000 Re: Building and Deploying OpenSolaris Nigel Smith 2007-07-19T12:33:09+00:00 2007-07-19T12:33:09+00:00 Ryan, I hope the presentation went ok!

Reigning C-USA Hitter-of-the-Week Corey Thompson
March 5, 2010
Final Stats | Photo Gallery I | Photo Gallery II
GREENVILLE, N.C. -Corey Thompson's two-RBI double to right center highlighted a four-run seventh inning that propelled No. 11 East Carolina a 7-5 win over Illinois in game two of the Seventh Annual Keith LeClair Classic Friday afternoon at Lewis Field inside Clark-LeClair Stadium.
Trailing 4-3 going into the bottom of the seventh Dustin Harrington started the four-run rally for the Pirates (5-3) with a leadoff double to left center. Kyle Roller followed with a walk before John Wooten put runners on the corner with a fielder's choice. Austin Homan knotted the game at four with a RBI single down the left field line plating Harrington. Thompson, who has driven in at least one run in six-straight games, laced a double right center clearing the bases to put ECU up 6-4. Cam Freeman added an additional run on a sac fly that scored Thompson, who advanced earlier on a wild pitch.
Patrick Somers (1-0) got the win despite facing one batter to close out the seventh inning. Starter Kevin Brandt had another superb outing tossing six strong innings allowing one run on five hits with a season-best seven strikeouts. Mike Wright was touched for three runs on four hits in 0.2 of a inning, while Zach Woods made his second relief appearance of the year striking out the side in the eighth. Junior Seth Simmons (1.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 3 Ks) closed the game recording his second save on the season and 13th of his career.
Bryan Roberts dropped to 0-1 for the Illini (1-3) after giving up the go-ahead run in the seventh before being pulled for Mike Sterk. In all, Roberts allowed two runs on two hits with a strikeout. Will Strack got the nod on the bump lasting five innings where the Pirates plated three runs (all earned) on five hits.
The Pirates jumped out to a 3-0 lead scoring runs in the third, fourth and fifth frames. Jared Avchen drove in the game's first run on a fielder's choice that scored Cam Freeman from third. Freeman, who was 2-for-3 on the day, singled to left to start the inning then stole second and advanced to third on an errant throw catcher Aaron Jackson.
Freeman smacked his second career home run in the fourth and John Wooten drove home Harrington to give ECU a 3-0 advantage.
The Illini pulled ahead 4-3 in the seventh erasing a three-run lead. Craig Lutes laced a one-out double down the left field line then took third on Josh Parr's single to right. Willie Argo singled home Lutes to pull within one, 3-2. After a Wright wild pitch moved the runners up 90 feet, Johnson ripped a double to left center clearing the bases and giving Illinois its only lead of the game.
The Pirates will be back on the diamond Saturday afternoon when they square off against West Virginia with a 3 p.m. first pitch scheduled.

Perhaps no field is more fluid these days than the discipline most people refer to as customer service.
Yes, there are a few of those radio talkshow types that refer to it as "customer disservice," but with advances in technology and the "I want it now" world we live in, businesses have been forced to "put up" or "shut up" when it comes to interacting with their customers.
Twilio, a cloud communications company is here to help, and the roadshow is a day-long introduction to where the industry is headed.
Where it's headed:
- Businesses are will use messaging and voice to engage and communicate with customers. This no longer costs hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. Cloud communications makes all this possible by offering workable and scalable services with pay-as-you-go pricing. Businesses can afford this and it's becoming a "must have."
- Customers will be empowered thanks to companies like Twilio.
- The time between seeing a business need and delivering the required IT solution to solve or address that need will become hours and days rather than months and years. Along with this, the technology used will change rapidly.
- Customers expect more. They expect that any needed information, service, or possible product is available on any device, in context, and asap.
- Time is of the essence now and moving into the future. Customers want what they need, now!
Per Twilio, here is what they have going on:
(It is expected that) developers and businesses can innovate, prototype, build, deploy and change their communications systems easily — keeping pace with customer needs and bringing ideas to market faster than ever before.
The Twilio software and cloud-based platform powers a range of communications solutions. Everything from complete call centers to work scheduling applications, from mobile marketing and lead management to tools that improve security.
Twilio provides advantages over old world communications approaches:
It's Flexible - Build communication solutions that fit your specific needs.
It's Agile - Get the ability to respond quickly to changing business needs.
It's Adaptable - Develop new capabilities that fit with your current infrastructure.
It's Economical - Realize solutions that are simple and cost effective to maintain.
It's Innovative - Enjoy the freedom to rapidly prototype and rollout new things.
Innovative start-ups, including Uber, Box and Airbnb, use Twilio to create great customer experiences—so do enterprises like local Atlanta based Home Depot and Coca-Cola Enterprises.
Companies like Coca-Cola and Home Depot are two large companies on board with Twilio.
Home Depot leveraged Twilio to stand up a call center in 8 weeks.
Coca-Cola Enterprises uses Twilio to help manage over 600,000 coolers and vending machines and about 600 technicians to keep those machines stocked and up and running.
See all that Twilio has going on at www.twilio.com.

Hi guys!
I hope everyone is doing well and actually enjoyed watching football yesterday for the first time in a long time! :)
I wanted to reach out to you and see if you'd be interested in helping us spread the word about a charity event taking place in South Florida. It's being hosted by Anthony Fasano to raise money and awareness for an organization called Rebuilding Together, which helps to provide safe and accessible housing for all low-income veterans.
Anthony has partnered with Tracy Morgan to put on a great night of comedy on Saturday, November 26th. Since many of your readers are in South Florida, or may be there for Thanksgiving, I thought they might be interested in hearing about this.
Here's the link with all the info:
Thanks in advance for anything you can do to help spread the word.

Hi everyone. I was hoping you could give me some advice on a sensitive topic. DS was diagnosed with PDD-NOS at 18 mos. He has been in therapy (OT, ST) ever since and by the grace of God, most of his issues have resolved. His only real issue now is a mild, yet persistent delay in speech. When he began kindergarten, they placed him in the all day program, where the first half of the day was spent in a general ed kindergarten classroom, and the second half of the day was spent in the cross-cat classroom, where he received OT, ST, etc. This has been wonderful, and his progress has been so rapid, and so significant, that they initially wanted to remove him from the cross-cat program entirely. But he was doing so well there, we thought it prudent to keep him in the program for at least another year, and after a year in the program, they agreed that it would be best if he stayed. He is now in first grade and doing excellent as always. But. There is a little girl in his cross-cat classroom that is quite the handful. Basically, she's violent. Very violent. And I'm starting to get concerned for my child's safety. DS coming home with bruises, and scratches on his face has become a regular occurrence. Look, I know there are parents out there that have to deal with these types of behaviors in their own children, and my heart breaks for them, but this is my child and he is being hurt. What do I do? I don't want to cause trouble for this other child, or her parents, and I understand that she has just as much of a right to be in that classroom as my child does. But she's HURTING my son. Again, what do I do? DS's teachers have never even notified us about the injuries he has received. They've never mentioned this other child at any of the meetings. It's like they simply aren't acknowledging the issue. But although DS is speech delayed, he's perfectly verbal and he tells us very clearly what goes on in the classroom, and if he has been hurt. He doesn't lie either. But the evidence is scratched clearly across his face. So why aren't they at least acknowledging that he has been hurt? Maybe it's because my husband is an attorney and perhaps they are afraid that we would take some sort of legal action? Not that we would (unless DS was severely hurt), but it seriously bothers me that they are seemingly ignoring these attacks on my son. Any advice before I confront the school?
*Update* Thank you very much for all the responses. We have called a meeting to discuss our concerns. I will update with more info once that meeting has been held. Thanks again!

"Einstein Was A Refugee But Could Still Do Great Things"

Paul Cummins
April 6, 2010
By Liz Murray, Patriot League Intern
Paul Cummins spends each day balancing class, basketball practice, weightlifting sessions and extra shooting practice. He and his teammates travel to Dave Matthews Band concerts in their time off. And while this may all sound like completely normal activity for a basketball player, Cummins' story is anything but.
Cummins happens to be playing while getting his MBA in one year. And the Lafayette graduate and native of Kildare, Ireland is doing it all in his home country.
This year, Cummins is a member of a joint venture between the Patriot League and USNI Sport Graduate Development program that allows Patriot League athletes to continue both their education and athletic career on a sport scholarship in Northern Ireland. Paul is getting his MBA from the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland. He graduated with honors from Lafayette College in 2008 as a major in both psychology and music.
Cummins stepped in to his new team as a leader, following the advice of friend and former Lafayette teammate Matt Betley, who also went through the program. "He said when you come in here, you need to be a leader; the team needs a leader," Cummins said. "I think that's probably the best advice I received."
Despite a slow start for the team, Cummins led the Elks to a strong finish with a 5-12 record and fourth place in the North Conference of the Nivea for Men's SuperLeague, just one spot out of a playoff berth. Cummins finished in the top 10 in the league in assists, and second in three-pointers made.
"It wasn't a great record," he admitted. "But we made a great run in the second half of the season. We're a good, solid team, but it's still a young program,"
In his opinion, the program can significantly improve if more Patriot League athletes make the cross-Atlantic journey. "The program is such a great opportunity because it needs more players to come over, get their masters and contribute to the team."
The influx of American talent can also serve to strengthen the bond between Irish and U.S. basketball, which turned into somewhat of a personal mission for Cummins ever since he was a freshman at Lafayette.
From 2005-2008, Paul spent each school year as a member of the Lafayette men's basketball team and his summers running Hoops Clinic, a basketball camp for children in Ireland.
"I love to facilitate young, talented payers in Ireland," Cummins says. His goal is to help Irish basketball players be seen by American coaches and to help them gain similar opportunities to that which he received at Lafayette.
This year, besides earning his MBA and playing at Ulster, Cummins is expanding his camps to increase awareness abroad about basketball in Ireland. In addition to the two younger age-divided groups within the camp, he is working to bring on an advanced group that will have the opportunity to be seen by American coaches, even putting highlights on the camp's Web site to further enable scouting of Irish players.
Bridging the gap is no small task given the different basketball regulations in the U.S. and Europe. In Ireland, a shorter shot clock forces Cummins to change his game, and transition to a more offensive mindset. He says he dedicated the year to working on his offensive skills and transitions.
"The one thing that players need to realize when they come over to a league like the Irish League is that they need to be more versatile; they have to be more than one-dimensional," he said. "You're going to have to take it to the basket. You have to shoot from inside. You have to rebound."
Cummins enjoys the opportunity to play in his home country. "Personally, I prefer the game over here because there's more freedom to play," he said. "I think my game is more suited to fast-paced transitions and looking for that early shot."
Still, the time that he spent playing for Lafayette and in the Patriot League will always resonate.
"I think playing for Lafayette and the Patriot League prepared me for playing anywhere in the world," Cummins said. "Being a student-athlete at Lafayette really taught me how to balance my time more effectively so now it's sort of second nature," he said.
In March, Cummins rooted for his alma mater in the postseason, watching the Patriot League Championship game from across the Atlantic. "It's too bad they couldn't win the whole thing," he said. "But it was shown on national TV here, which was pretty cool because I got to see all the guys and give a shout out to the team."
"Overall playing for Lafayette and the Patriot League was the biggest dream of mine since I was a child and it is still one of my proudest accomplishments," Cummins said. "It has prepared me excellently for wherever I go afterward."
And with an MBA in hand through the graduate program and a year of playing in Ireland, Cummins is sure to be a success wherever he goes next.

text: Aug 8, 2014 23:37 Prosecutors oppose leniency for cop who burned body Prosecutors oppose leniency for cop who burned body Associated Press file photo by Cheryl Gerber -- Gregory McRae as he entered federal court in New Orleans in December 2010. Jim Mustian| firstname.lastname@example.com Aug. 4, 2014; 7:18 p.m. Comments Federal prosecutors are vigorously opposing Gregory McRae's plea for leniency ahead of his resentencing next week, saying the former New Orleans police officer deserves a lengthy prison term for incinerating Henry Glover's remains four days after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. The "barbaric" burning, they maintain, marked the centerpiece of a police cover-up that "significantly shielded the misconduct of others" and stymied a civil rights investigation into Glover's shooting death at the hands of then-Officer David Warren. In new court filings, prosecutors said McRae's punishment should not be diminished by Warren's acquittal at a retrial, and they scoffed at McRae's attempt to attribute his torching of Glover's body to the trauma and sleep deprivation he experienced while helping to police New Orleans in its most chaotic hour. A "completely appropriate" sentence, they said, would be the same 17-year term he received before an appeals court reversed part of his conviction in late 2012. "There is no dispute that the days following Hurricane Katrina presented an unprecedentedly horrific and challenging period for the city of New Orleans," prosecutors wrote. "However, as this case makes clear, the horrors that followed Katrina were exacerbated by the conduct of police officers like defendant McRae, who boldly and brazenly violated his oath to protect the people of New Orleans." The prosecution's remarks came in rebuttal to a motion filed last month by McRae seeking a sentence of 10 years and a day, a term defense attorney Mike Fawer described as "unwarranted" but that is the minimum punishment allowed under the law. McRae maintains he had no inkling that Glover, an unarmed Algiers man, was the victim of a police shooting. "There is no need for imprisonment to protect the public or for deterrence," Fawer wrote in his motion, describing McRae's actions as "an act of desperation" and urging U.S. District Judge Lance Africk to depart from the federal sentencing guidelines in the case. Prosecutors contend there is "simply no other motive" than a police cover-up to explain McRae's decision to set Glover's body alight in a car on the Algiers levee. They cite "strong circumstantial evidence (that) demonstrates that McRae knew of Warren's shooting and acted to help cover it up." "This conclusion is compounded by the fact that of the approximately 1,900 people who perished during and after Katrina, only one human body was burned," they wrote. While friends and former colleagues have written letters to Africk on McRae's behalf, suggesting he's been unfairly maligned, prosecutors have painted an unflattering picture of the 26-year New Orleans Police Department veteran. "To this day," they wrote, "defendant McRae has never fully taken responsibility for his conduct." Prosecutors note that Glover, too, had to endure the "fear, chaos and uncertainty" that followed the storm. "He survived days without water or electricity, and he spent sleepless nights worrying that armed assailants would break into his home and harm his family. Henry Glover was only trying to leave New Orleans on the day that he was shot dead by NOPD Officer David Warren." McRae, 53, admitted he believed Glover was a homicide victim, but he has denied burning the body as part of a cover-up. He testified he had seen other corpses decomposing after the storm and did not want that to happen to Glover. Glover, 31, was shot by Warren, a rookie cop, outside an Algiers strip mall on Sept. 2, 2005. Warren, who was on the mall's second-story balcony guarding a 4th District detective office, told jurors he feared for his life when Glover ran toward the mall to retrieve some looted items. Warren initially was sentenced to 25 years in prison, but the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the jury was unduly prejudiced against him because he stood trial with several co-defendants. Prosecutors say Warren's acquittal during his December retrial "should have no impact on the calculation of McRae's sentence," objecting to a pre-sentence investigation report prepared for Africk's consideration. As opposed to the first time McRae was sentenced, the probation officer who prepared the new presentence report decided not to treat Glover's death as manslaughter in light of the "not guilty" verdict in Warren's retrial. But assistant U.S. attorneys said the second Warren verdict is of no consequence to the McRae case because the same jury that convicted him of "obstructing a federal criminal investigation determined that the underlying shooting by Warren constituted manslaughter." Another of the three NOPD officers convicted in the Glover case had his conviction set aside after evidence emerged that appeared to contradict the government's claim that a police report was doctored to make Glover's shooting death seem justifiable. Two other officers were acquitted of their alleged roles in the case. While McRae is the only one of the five officers charged in the case who remains behind bars, prosecutors said his own "obstructive conduct is substantially responsible for" that fact. "Because of McRae's conduct," they said, "some of the most vital evidence that could have established Warren's guilt was unavailable." McRae is scheduled to be resentenced by Africk on Aug. 15.

For all those who still haven't heard of the White Card Online, here is a short explanation: this great company is a specialised training company that provides a whole spectrum of online and offline courses, and that also includes the special construction induction training – for major corporations and individuals who complete an online course rather than a "face to face" course in their own state.
In Australia, this is one of the major Registered Training Organisations that has provided to Australian and international customers more than 69,000 White Cards.
At this point, you're probably asking yourself why should you get your White Card Online? There are a lot of reasons, but we will explain to you the most important benefits of applying for a white card online.
- The White Card Online has a great card system and it is national wide. That basically means that you have a card that is valid in every state, so there is no need to do the training again if you decide to change the state.
- You have the opportunity to work in every state with owning this card, so you save your time and energy and the whole work applying process is easier.
- Everyone in Australia is qualified for a white card – it applies to every state. For example QLD accepts all white cards, so by owning it, you make your life much simpler and also you can develop your work over the country which means that you will get more work opportunity.
- It is nationally recognised and all you need is a PC, printer and Internet Also, it is very easy to follow online multimedia training and you can complete courses anytime – 24/7 or in time small pieces.
- It is compatible for iPhone and iPad so it ensures more available, suitable and economical training to a large number of Australians, in all regional areas.
- The online programs are being frequently upgraded, to provide the highest level of service quality. For example, White Card Online's short answer assessments are made in a way that checks the trainee's ability to use the knowledge as well as the skills that he gained in real life scenarios and situations, instead of just testing the trainee's knowledge without actually checking if he has the ability to apply really it.
- These regular upgrades, improved White Card Online, as well as confirmed trainers, have an insight into each trainee's personal response, and are usually required to even more discuss the answers they provided, so that the assessor can be sure that the trainee is fully competent.
- There are no hidden expenses and you get the remarkable value for the money you pay.
- If you want to apply for more than one card, you will get a discount.
- It is very simple to follow the instructions, and the content is very informative and interesting, to complement your learning experience.

Therefore, behold! I will again do marvelous things with this people, marvelous and astonishing things; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their discerning men will vanish or be hidden. (Isaiah 29:14 AMP)
It would at first glance at this Scripture appear that the Israelites had been serving God with their whole hearts and He was rewarding them. But the verse directly before this says they were honoring with their words but their hearts were far away. God wasn't happy with divided souls.
Instead of coming up with a punishment for Israel to force their hearts to love Him (Love isn't love when pressured.) He came up with a plan to show them, the common ones, miracles. Miracles, signs and wonders are to show God's love for them. They're not for fanfare. God was wooing Israel back to Him. He was doing signs and wonders to bring their attention to Him.
The mouths of the "wise men" He would hush. They were teaching false information.
God was giving the Israelites time to be away from lies and surrounded by His love in the wonders he would show them. He was giving them time for their hearts to warm and their words to flow from a love for Him.

corniest corn muffins
I have to admit, no matter what you call this stuff — corn muffins, cornbread, pone, Johnnycakes — how you cook it — skillet fried, deep fried, on a griddle or in tiny muffin liners — or what a cinch they are to make — think "Jiffy" — the stuff kind of stresses me out, and it's because there are a thousand different ways to make it and all of them are the "right" or "only" way to someone. When people tell you they like cornbread, they have something very specific in mind and it's up to you to figure out what it is. I'm no different. Alongside barbeque or crumbled over my chili, anything less that that which is made in a bacon-greased cast iron pan with or without the jalapenos and cheddar just doesn't seem authentic. But when it comes to breakfast muffins, I want the cakier, sweeter, oh I'll say it, Northern version, but with just enough grit in them that I don't feel like I'm eating dessert for my first meal of the day.
Dorie gets this. Truth be told, I'd probably two-thirds the sugar next time, but in every other way, this recipe is a keeper. Not too dessert-like, just the right crumb and a super-cinch to make, this is the most glowing success I've had getting corn muffins to meet my corn muffin expectations in a while. The fresh corn is an extra reminder that this is breakfast, not dessert. Toasted with a pat of salted butter even two days later, I find it impossible not to like.
What? You just want to talk about Cinco De Mayo? It seems that my trip to Mexico and the flavor-fiending that has followed couldn't be better timed, as my favorite excuse for margaritas–besides it being a day that ends in a 'y'–falls this year on a Saturday, making it all the more fabulous excuse for a big party. If you're still looking for some inspiration, here are some ideas from the archives:
- Chicken Empanadas with Chorizo and Olives
- Chicken Tacos
- Tequila Lime Chicken
- Black Bean Confetti Salad
- Fish Tacos
- Deb's Three-Bean Chili
- Corn Bread with Cheddar, Jalapeno and Green Onions
- Green Onion Slaw
- Salsa Fresca
- Blood Orange Margaritas
- The Tart Marg
- Margarita Cookies
- Key Lime Tartlets
Dorie Greenspan's Corniest Corn Muffins
Baking from My Home to Yours
Yield: 12 regular-sized muffins or 48 miniature ones
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
1 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 tablespoons corn oil (I used olive oil since it was handy)
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 cup corn kernels (add up to 1/3 cup more if you'd like) – fresh, frozen or canned (in which case they should be drained and patted dry)
Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter or spray the 12 molds in a regular-size muffin pan or fit the molds with paper muffin cups. Alternatively, use a silicone muffin pan, which needs neither greasing nor paper cups. Place the muffin pan on a baking sheet.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg, if you're using it. In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, oil, egg and yolk together until well blended. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and, with the whisk or a rubber spatula, gently but quickly stir to blend. Don't worry about being thorough – the batter will be lumpy, and that's just the way it should be. Stir in the corn kernels. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes (12 minutes for minis), or until the tops are golden and a thin knife inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack and cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing each muffin from its mold.

Clay Jenkins is in his first season as Head Baseball Coach at Plymouth State, and his fifth season with the Plymouth State University baseball team. An Easton, N.H native, Jenkins was a standout pitcher at both nearby Profile High School and then Franklin Pierce University.
Jenkins worked primarily with the Panther pitchers and catchers during the past five seasons. From 2011-2014, Jenkins helped lead the pitching staff from a 6.56 team era, to a 3.63 team era. During this time, the Panther's record improved from 12-24 to 22-14 in regular seasons. The team qualified for multiple LEC Tournament appearances, including a conference tournament championship game for the first time in school history.
During his collegiate playing career (2004-2007), Jenkins was a versatile pitcher used in a variety of situations. As a captain and academic All-American his senior year, Jenkins helped lead Franklin Pierce University to the Division II College World Series for the second consecutive year by accumulating a 6-1 record and one save with a 1.88 ERA in 22 appearances. Among the all-time leaders in both single season and career appearances, Jenkins brings not only experience, but a strategic mind-set to the Panther baseball program.
After playing at Franklin Pierce University, Jenkins played professionally for a short stint in the Frontier League with the Kalamazoo Kings in Kalamazoo, Mich. In addition to his Bachelor's degree in Finance/Management from Franklin Pierce, Jenkins earned his Master's degree in Global Business and Project Management from Southern New Hampshire University in 2012. Jenkins also serves as Project Manager for Portland Construction Services, Inc. out of Saco, Maine.

What's Driving Intense Volatility in the Bond Market? Three Possible Explanations
Vince Foster
Forget Dow 14,000. What's happening in the bond market is significantly more important.
Equity investors went home this past weekend feeling pretty proud of themselves. For many who recently (and finally) gained net exposure to the market and after a blistering January, stocks started February with a robust 1% gain. The sentiment has improved not because economic conditions are better but rather because prices are higher.
Last week we saw the first estimate of Q4 2012 GDP and it was a stinker. The number that matters, YOY nominal GDP, grew at a paltry 3.3%. This was one of the lowest prints since coming out of the recession and a sharp deceleration from Q4 2011 at 4.0% and Q4 2010 at 4.3%. Even in Q4 2007 as the wheels were coming off, the growth rate was 4.9%.
In dollar terms Q4 2012 nominal GDP came in at $15.829 trillion, only $500 billion above last year. Pundits and strategists were quick to explain away the weakness with a sharp drop in defense spending which I guess is notable. However that doesn't alleviate the ballooning debt/GDP ratio, now at 104%, nor does it help the ever elusive output gap.
The non-farm payroll data was also weaker than expected, coming in at 157k v. the estimate of 175k. The numbers that matter were also weak with private payrolls adding 166k v. the 185k estimate, and manufacturers only added 4k. As a comparison, last month private payrolls were up a revised 202k with manufacturing at 8k. In January 2012 private payrolls added 323k with manufacturers adding 44k.
The ISM manufacturing number was the highlight of the day, coming in at 53.1 versus the estimate of 50.7. Perhaps manufacturers were upbeat because they didn't have to hire anyone. The January number tends to run hot, but 2013 was still weaker than 2012's ISM at 53.7, 2011's at 59.2, and 2010's at 58.2.
I put these numbers in historic context because as you will recall, sentiment was much more bearish on the prospects for the economy and equity prices back then with stronger data. Only now, with the indices at new highs, is data justified to warrant the recent parabolic price action.
While all the headlines and attention is going to the equity market, it was the bond market that saw the real action last week as the 143-00 objective I have been monitoring was finally tested. This is significantly more important than
On December 28, 2012 I wrote the following in
A 2008 Bond Market Prognostication
If the Fed is successful in reflating the economy in 2013, the Pyrrhic victory could be a real scenario and if it gets traction the market could be under significant pressure and the lower objectives would be in play.
Because of the technical nature of the rising channel and important 143-00 level I think on balance there is less margin for error and thus more risk on the downside.
The bond market has been consolidating a relatively tight range for six months and has lulled many participants to sleep.
I think this thing is wound up and ready to break out. It's unlikely that we will be sitting in this same spot next year; which way we go and where we end up is going to have wide-ranging ramifications for the asset markets and implications for the economy
Last week I wrote the following in
The Great Rotation? The Market Is a Bit More Complicated Than That
If the market needs to test 143-00, next week could be a great opportunity
. You can see on the chart there is enormous support in the area between 143-00 and the rising channel.
The fate of the bull market will bet settled at these crossroads
. Expect this area to get vibrated and the reflexivity of the MBS market to play a key role in how this gets reconciled.
US Bond Futures Five-Day Tick
Click to enlarge
You can see that out of the gate on Monday volatility continued and the pressure was on the downside. On Wednesday bonds took out 143-00 and in an intense session that saw huge volume of 615k contracts turning over the entire open interest in a relatively tight one-point range. The 10-year (TY) futures contract traded 1.86mm contracts and settled basically unchanged. It was a wild day and I commented on
that when you see that kind of volume turn over in an unchanged market, that typically is a sign of a bottoming process as the supply has been adequately absorbed.
However as you could see on Friday (February 1), Wednesday's price action was only a sign of more volatility to come. After successfully testing 143-00 on Thursday, bonds were right back there on Friday before the NFP release. With the weaker NFP print bonds caught an immediate bid and rocketed back to the highest levels on the week and it looked like 143-00 was going to be made support. The bid quickly faded though. And when ISM beat expectations, the bottom fell out, taking out 143-00 like warm butter and eventually closing at the lowest level on the week in another wild session. This time both US and TY turned over the open interest with bonds trading 693k contracts and tens trading 2.2 million which together equates to nearly $290 billion notional traded on the day. When it was all said and done the week saw the highest volume traded in notes and bonds since the massive flight to quality in the August 2011 stock market crash.
I knew 143-00 would be a critical level but I didn't expect this kind of intense volatility. What was behind this record level of volume? This was not economic data related, stocks breaking out, or the great rotation nonsense. This was big money whipping around.
There are a few possible explanations as to what is causing this bond market intensity and today I want to go through three ideas -- one new thought that could be having an influence, and two that I have discussed over the past few weeks which seem to be gaining momentum. They are all probably contributing in some form or fashion and the key issue going forward is whether they will continue to put pressure on bond prices.
On Thursday I was rapping with Minyanville's own
Michael Sedacca
about why the Fed's QE US Treasury open market purchase bid to cover ratio has been tracking higher. The bid/cover shows how many bonds were offered in the tender versus how may the Fed bought.
SOMA Bid to Cover Vs. 10-Year
Click to enlarge
You can see that clearly that the ratio of bonds offered to the Fed has been rising since the beginning of the year, and this excess supply is correlated with the rising yield on the 10-year. Sedacca and I were trying to figure out what was driving this supply.
I said one possible explanation is the expiration of TAG (Temporary Liquidity Guarantee). TAG insures non-interest-bearing deposits in banks for unlimited amounts and was implemented during the credit crisis so that large cash deposits for corporations used for things such as payroll wouldn't flee for fear of bank failures. Presumably when TAG expired at the end of the year those deposits would seek other government-guaranteed short term liquid assets outside bank deposits. Why would that affect the long end of the curve?
Banks invested some of these deposits in liquid Treasury, Agency, and MBS duration to earn a spread or carry. According to the Fed's
weekly report on bank assets and liabilities, during the last six months of 2012 deposits trended higher rising by over $400 billion while holdings of Treasury and Agency securities rose by $100 billion maintaining the recent trend of investing roughly 25% of deposits in securities. Between December 26, 2012 and January 16, 2013, non-time deposits deviated from the general rising trend falling by $88.4 billion, and over the same time their holdings in these securities fell by $20 billion, which is 23% of the reduction in deposits.
According to
, in the same four-week period institutional money market funds have increased by $22 billion, which also explains the above-average buying by direct bidders at recent two-year and three-year Treasury auctions. Corporate treasurers aren't investing liquidity in the stock market so presumably the expiration of TAG can explain some of the selling in the longer duration assets and purchasing of shorter more liquid securities. The great rotation might just be out of cash deposits and into two-year notes. The curve steepening in as yields rise also corroborates this assertion as the two-year/10-year spread has widened 25bps year to date.
As I noted last week, the reflexivity of MBS convexity selling could also explain some of the bond market volume and volatility. As I have mentioned before, due to negative convexity MBS investors hedge their duration risk with Treasuries, buying duration when yields fall and selling duration as yields rise which in extreme markets can exacerbate the move. The 2.00% level on the 10-year is a key psychological level but is also represents a significant pivot point for MBS investors. Last week BAML strategist Satish Mansukhani wrote in client note that
10-year yield rising to 2.15% will increase convexity risk while further 10bps-25bps rise would generate "significantly higher" hedging needs.
To give you an idea of the magnitude of the extension risk, the analyst noted that the previous week's move extended outstanding agency MBS duration by $177 billion 10-year equivalents. This interplay between MBS and Treasury hedging of extension risk was evident during last week's volatility but seemed to subside a bit on Friday as MBS outperformed on the day.
The third market element that is behind this intense volatility in the bond market is the continued weakening of the Japanese yen amid further dovish rhetoric. On Friday you may recall
(INDEXSP:.INX) futures were already bid up six points before the employment data was released. This was perhaps on the back of comments made by BOJ Deputy Governor Yamaguchi who said that the central bank was making a stronger pledge this time that previously.
According to
Yamaguchi said in his speech that the BOJ will pursue "aggressive monetary easing" as long as it deems appropriate, adding that the bank's price target is the same as the "flexible inflation targeting" adopted by many central banks.
The EURJPY rally has no doubt been a green light for risk at the expense of US interest rates and Friday was no exception. When the ISM number hit EURJPY rallied nearly 1.5% in an hour. Year to date the EURJPY is up 11% while the THBJPY is up 10%, both outpacing the S&P 500 which is up 6.1% and high beta
Russell 2000
(INDEXRUSSELL:RUT), up 7.3%. Currencies shouldn't be moving like stock indices, and when they do, the reverberations can be felt in credit markets. We first pointed to the correlation between the JPY and US interest rates and the risk of the BOJ's new inflation target in
Is US Growth Blowing Out or the Carry Trade Blowing Up?
The further JPY weakens the more US interest rates could rise.

As you will recall, since the end of 2012 I have been working off the thesis that the biggest risk in the markets is that they lose confidence that the Fed can control interest rates in the long end of the curve, and the critical 143-00 pivot was an area where this thesis could play out. Last week was a frightening testament that when this market is ready to move there is little the Fed can do about it. At this point either this level holds and bond prices continue to rally back to old highs or it gives and the QE trade unravels in their face. If bonds are topping, what kind of world would that look like? Despite the current optimism about stock prices that's a question you don't want answered.

It consists of SD card slot up to 32 GB with HDMI and AV jack as well. And the most exciting feature of them all is definitely the underwater mode. All these features are offered at a relatively affordable price which makes the ZX3 worth being owned. The battery life of the playsport is up to around 2.5 hours. Which is just one factor that concerns me but with the help of additional Li-Ion Rechargeable battery which can be easily purchased this problem is also taken care of. The New Kodak comes in Black, Blue & Purple. The whole bundle package consists of the tripod stand, Kodak remote control along with the 4GB SD Memory card. The Kodak ZX3 also has a TV output which makes it easier to connect and share videos and images. It also has a 4X optical Zoom which is pretty well as the images are not blur if you take still images with the full zoom.

The newest limited edition flavor from See's Candies has just been released in stores this past Friday, the 16th! I would have gotten this post out sooner if I had been home to receive my free samples of the new flavor: Coffee Walnut Caramel. I had gone out of town for a long weekend and thankfully the chocolates were waiting for me upon my return! These are not available by phone or online ordering, so if you have a See's Candy Store nearby, you're in luck!
These chocolate sound like a tasty mouthful, don't they?. Coffee, walnuts and caramel? That's a lot of stuff right there! I opened up my sample box and was greeted by rows of lovely, square, chocolates with beautiful rippled tops from the milk chocolate enrobing. Picking one up, it's much heavier than I expected, and much taller too. Usually these sort of chocolates are about 1/2 inch tall of so, these are more like 3/4 of an inch. Impressive to say the least. The smell is sweet, creamy and very inviting.
Picking up a piece in my had, the chocolates are well formed. I take a bite and find that the texture is dense, like a thick and chewy fresh fudge. The caramel isn't watery or flowing but more solid, again, like fresh fudge.
The caramel is wonderful thick and chewy, and not the least bit sticky. it has nice toasted sugar notes with a well rounded buttery taste. the coffee flavor is seamlessly blended in, and you get a good roasted, nutty, coffee taste mixing in with the buttery sweetness.
The walnuts are large chunks sprinkled in the caramel. they are extremely fresh with a nice, meaty chewy to them. They have that buttery, nutty, slightly tannic flavor and it's awesome. The milk chocolate coating proves a flavor that binds all the elements while adding a nice sweetness to it.
A really awesome and flavorful chocolate bonbon here. These are going to be really popular when I share them with friends.
CONTEST: Ok, I have a gift certificate from See's to give away! It's for one pound of these chocolate, and can be used in their stores or by phone at (800-895-7337). So how do you enter? Please comment on this post by Friday at noon, EST and share your favorite See's flavor if you have one. I'll choose a winner randomly from those who enter. Best of luck!

First I have to say that you write very well- the detailed imagery usage gives the reader a better picture of what the chocolates are like. The Coffee walnut Caramel chocolates look extremely good, especially since I am hungry right now. Unfortunately I am not in a location anywhere close to a See's shop, but I have had some of their chocolates at the Candy Expo a couple years back. I like their milk chocolate butter creams as well as their peanut brittle. Good Chocolates.Posted by Ben on 07/21 at 03:09 PM

With the defending silver- and bronze-medalists, along with a dark-horse medal favorite, Group B of the 2014 IIHF World Junior Championship is a difficult one to handicap.
Sweden, Russia and Finland all bring loads of talent, including a number of players with NHL experience.
Sweden already boasted a talented group of forwards that will be bolstered by the arrivals of Elias Lindholm from the Carolina Hurricanes and Filip Forsberg from the Nashville Predators.
The Buffalo Sabres are allowing center Mikhail Grigorenko to play for Russia, and the lanky, talented forward likely will center the top line.

No one called because he lookings like a kid in a sheet with a fake rocket launcher. Even in the heart of Jihad land they don't walk around with rocket launchers.
Who are these guys? What are they doin'?
Attachment 63281Attachment 63282
Many more on google...
Lets examine this a little closer. These guys have been watching too much Reality TV. It isnt really very real when a camera crew is in tow. You are of course only seeing through the lenses of a camera that is being held and operated by another person.
The costume that he was wearing isnt very convincing either. Im sure his mother was upset that he snagged the sheet off of his bed to make a video.
My point is this, to the people actually witnessing this it looked more like two clowns making a video. It was a sad attempt to illustrate a threat and how quickly people respond to it. And yet
The alarming scene, filmed this summer, prompted nearly a dozen calls to 911 from scared motorists.
WATCH: Arizona man busted in grenade launcher hoax to
Obviously people did see this stunt as a threat and called it in to the police. Their attempt was to point out police response time. The police claimed they were there in one minute. The video shows it took them fifteen minutes. There was a study (not clowns in the street with launchers) done that leads me to think it probably was fifteen minutes.
Response times- city to city
Police normally respond to incidents that have already occurred. This is why I carry a gun to defend myself. Would I have shot this guy if he was aiming a launcher at me? Witnesses and even a reporter described this as a threat. They were amazed that someone didnt run him over with their car!
Since I carry a gun for self defense it would have to be a threat to my life for me to shoot him. I am not the police or the National Guard. I would have called it in as the other citizens did.
I absolutely would have shot this guy. Here is the logic (aside from the fact that it's my policy to kill them all, it's the only way to be sure). If he is real, he needs to die. If he is not real he is too stupid to live and therefore needs to die. Either way, I shoot him. As for the camera man? Better shoot him too. If it's a real terrorist, the camera man is an assistant to terror. If it's a fake, the cameraman is as stupid as the idiot in the bed sheet and should not be allowed to live.
There! All settled. See how easy to remove the stress of decision making from your life? In this case there is a bonus! The sheet can cover both bodies and you can cop a free camera.
I don't think I would have shot the idiot but a good old fashioned asa whooping might have been in order..be kinds hard to make another vision with that fake rpg up his butt. .... I would like to see him try that with an ak47 and see how long it took to get shot then.. he chose a weapon that most everyone would know is fake and lets not even go there with the bed sheets....
As far as I'm concerned if he had been shot he would have gotten what he deserved. Just like the ole saying, "The tree of life is self pruning."

Many "Supernatural" fans have been struggling to get through what they call 'hellatus' not hiatus. The 10th season is set to premiere on October 7, 2014. Jensen Ackles just finished directing the first shot episode of the season that will air as the third episode. The TCA's took place on Friday and some tidbits of information came out there in regard to the fifth episode which will also be a huge milestone, as it will be episode 200. Now, Jeremy Carver isn't a big spoiler-giver but he does drop tidbits and teases, so as the season develops I'm sure we'll all get some more information. Of course, if you are keeping spolier-free, you will want to stop reading any further.
First, let's tackle what the CW Press Release stated about Season 10:
"Season 10 begins with Sam's frantic search for his missing brother, who is gone without a trace. The road to recovering the wayward Dean takes Sam down dark paths, with consequences that will shake the boys to their core. Meanwhile, Castiel has to pick up the pieces in the aftermath of Metatron's campaign. With his grace failing and rogue angels still on the loose, Cass will face the ticking clock of his own mortality as all-new threats emerge to once again push all of our heroes to their limits."
"Dark paths" and "consequences that will shake the boys to their core", has me both excited and worried. I understand that things can't be sunshine and rainbows, but I'm hoping that for the most part these "consequences" are dealt with by the brothers being at the others side and there isn't another great divide to traverse. Yes, familial tension has in the past moved the story forward in previous seasons, but at some point it will become a schtick and not a useful tool. However, after ten seasons of sticking with "Supernatural" this viewer isn't going anywhere and is riding this train to the end of the line with the Winchester boys.
So, the TCA event held on Friday, July 18, 2014 dropped the bit of news via showrunner, Jeremy Carver for episode 200. He said that the 200th episode will be a meta-episode giving a nod to fans. Now, what gives me pause, is that he said it will be a "musical-ish" episode. Of course, this isn't a new concept, as we've seen this before with shows like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and even "Grey's Anatomy". Yes, Jensen has some great singing chops, but even a "musical-ish" episode sounds so far from "Supernatural" that it feels like a slap in the face rather a nod to fans. Plus, why waste the 200th episode on a meta episode that is "musical-like"? Shouldn't that kind of mile marker for a show be an epic dramatic episode? I'm open-minded and will hold final opinion until the episode airs. But, I will put this on the books, this "musical-ish" episode should not be the 200th episode, fine air it in the season but not for the big 200.
Other spoiler tidbits that have come out by writers and/or actors, etc:
Demon Dean has a woman in his life and from what I gather she's human, not a demon (how long she lasts or how significant, I guess we'll find out as the season pans out)
Crowley has his hands full with Demon Dean and their relationship develops tensions very early. According to Jensen Ackles (Dean) Crowley will even seek some help in that matter.
From what has come out there will be more than a couple episodes of Demon Dean (how long Demon Dean will be driving the bus is unclear)
Castiel's grace is slipping away, so he is dealing with his impending death if a solution isn't found (I say go find the vial with your grace in it Cas. Metatron probably put it up somewhere or is he wearing it on a necklace like Uriel did with Anna's?)
At any rate, there is a lot to be eager about and getting to October 7, 2014 seems to be creeping at three-toed sloth pace, so "Supernatural" season 10 ... hurry up and get here!
