I need more performance out of my VMware environment
Article ID: 25
Last updated: 29 Mar, 2011
Step 1, 2 & 6 only applies to hosted products, but not ESX Server. The other steps are regarding hw or guest environment and will also apply to ESX Server.
Hosted products = VMware Workstation, Server, Player, Ace, Fusion
ESX = ESX, ESXi, vSphere Hypervisor (in the context of this page)
Step 2 will give each VM more memory, so don't assign more memory to your guests than is available on the host. Overcommitting memory is possible, but is normally only recommended on ESX. Swapping will make things go very slow.
1. Disable any power saving functions of the host OS, and BIOS. <- More important on hosted products than on ESX
2. A few settings should be done in the global config file or individual VM's (.vmx) config file to bring better performance. <- not needed on ESX
prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100"
3. A fast physical disk subsystem is important.<- All products
4. Many linux kernels are not tuned for acting as a guest (details here) <- All products
9. Use a cpu that supports MMU virtualization <- All products
10. Remove limits <- ESX
VMware have released an excellent paper on performance troubleshooting here: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-14905
VMware also has a very good paper on performance tuning for Workstation 6 here.
Would you please tell us how we can improve it?

Tanis Gray has gathered together a collection of 50 fast and easy projects from top designers "Cozy Knits". The patterns are 'cozy, quick and cute' for every person in your family and your home. All the patterns are knit using Cascade Pacific, a superwash merino yarn.
The projects cover all skill levels, though the patterns are not labeled as such. There is a glossary that contains step by step line drawings showing how to knit techniques used in the book. Helpful notes are included.
'Diamond Jubilee' is a slip-stitch beanie in black and white diamonds. Taina Goberstein's unique colorwork pattern is a simple project with great results. Worked in the round, it is sure to be a show stopper for guys or gals. Debbie O'Neill has designed textured-cuff gauntlets 'Fisherman's Friend'. These mittens are easy to complete and far from plain. The cuff is made up of knit and purl, while the mitten itself is knit. A little pattern goes a long way. There are three sizes to make...so you will want to knit them for everyone.
'Slip-Switch' by Lynn Wilson is another black and white slip-stitch that will catch your eye. This is a gaitor. The colorwork of this cowl reverses midway. Slipping stitches is easy. Add this technique to your repertoire and see if you don't agree. For those of you who enjoy knitting afghans, 'Tilt-a-Whirl' was designed by Therese Chynoweth. It has the look of being complex but requires only YO's and K2 together. Newbies, you can feel comfortable trying this.
If you are looking for a book on a variety of hats, mitts, scarves... in colorwork, cables, brioche and lace techniques, Tanis has filled the bill. She suggests, 'Pick a project that you determine to be above your skill level – something challenging that perhaps you've admired and thought "I could never knit that."

Todd grew up in the Dakotas, but he came to Bemidji in 1975 to attend Bemidji State University, where he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Geography…of all things.
His involvement in music and theatre led him to Paul Bunyan Broadcasting where he began working in January of 1980. Todd worked part time on KBUN and KB101 until beginning a full-time afternoon show on KBUN Country in April 1980. He moved to mornings in 1984.
In 1985, Todd left Bemidji and Paul Bunyan Broadcasting to work in major market radio at KEBC-FM in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, but he returned to become Program Director of KBUN and KB101 and resumed doing The Morning Show later that year.
Todd is co-host of the KB101 Morning Show with Heidi Boyd and the daily talk show, "Chat-About" with news director Rob Mills. He also serves as Program Director for KB101 and Operations Director for Paul Bunyan Broadcasting.
He shares his life with his three loves: his wife Danelle, and daughters Savannah and Giselle.
Program Director, producer of "Fishin' Paul Bunyan Country" and former play-by-play announcer of Bemidji High School sports.
Kev was born in San Bernadino, CA. A future as a surfer dude was dashed when his Dad decided to move back to Minnesota, where the family settled in to the tiny hamlet of Red Lake Falls.
After high school, it became apparent that he had no future in the two things he loved: athletic competition and musical performance. He thought about becoming a monk, but remembered he wasn't Catholic.
Then as he listened to the hits on WLS (at night of course), KKKL in Grand Forks, and KQWB in Fargo, he realized he could play music and talk sports for a living. So a passion for radio was born. Of course, once into broadcasting, he realized that the making a living part was dicey at best. But, we digress.
Kev attended Bemidji State University for four years, graduating in 1985 with a degree in Mass Communications. He then did some part time radio work before getting his first full time job in Roseau at KRWB, where he did sports, news on-air "deejaying" and even sales.
While in Roseau, he met the love of his life, Nicole, and brainwashed her into marrying him. Shortly after that, Kev got the opportunity to move back to Bemidji and become the play-by-play voice of the Lumberjacks. He's been back for 23 years.
After a dozen years of following many Lumberjack teams to exotic locales all over our great state, Kev became (and still is) the Program Director and Morning Show co-host with the legendary Tom Lucas on 95.5 KZY when it signed on in 1999. He also roams the hallways and does sports updates on all of the Paul Bunyan Broadcasting stations. He continues to serve as Program Director of The Bun (as well as 104.5 The True Oldies Channel) but turned the play-by-play chores over to Moose Richards in the fall of 1999.
Kev and Nicole have three children (Jake 22; Kaila, 20; and Mollie 19). All three are out of the house (for the moment) but the two dachshunds (Jack and Max) have taken over their duties of being loud and making messes.
FAVORITE MOVIE(S) OF ALL TIME: Casablanca, Groundhog Day, The Truman Show, National Treasure (if they are on…I watch 'em).
FAVORITE SPORTS MOVIE: So many great ones .…. Miracle, Field of Dreams, The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh….but I gotta go with Hoosiers (Hey, I'm from Red Lake Falls – it resonates).
FAVORITE TV SHOW(S) OF ALL TIME: Andy Griffith Show, Twilight Zone (still watch the reruns)
WHAT YOU'RE WATCHING ON TV NOW: Right now? Probably a Sponge Bob rerun. Actually, anything on DIY, Psych, Burn Notice, The Office.
FAVORITE SPORTS MEMORY/MOMENT: Again so many! Miracle on Ice, BSU's 1984 31-0 year, last year's Frozen Four….however, as a Twins fan since age seven, I've got to go with Games 6 and 7, 1991 World Series (the two greatest back-to-back games in World Series history!!)
KB101 Morning Show co-host
Heidi was born and raised in Shakopee back when it was still a "small town." The youngest of five, she always got in trouble for talking too much and now she makes it her living!
Heidi studied cosmetology out of high school – another good career for a "professional talker." She owned a salon in Burnsville for a few years before joining her husband, Pizza Man Dan, in their pizza business. They lived in the town of Lakeville since 1994, were married in 1997 and eventually migrated to the Bemidji area after "visiting" for several years.
Heidi has a stepson, Andrew, and a grandson, Jacob; two kitties, Stinker and Tommi, and a 69 pound Labradoodle, Jesse.
A fan of ANYTHING outdoors, she'd rather be lost in the woods than found at home! When not out hunting or "getting lost", any season of fishing warms her heart! (Not that she'd brag, but her biggest walleye so far: 28'5"). As far as sports, what's not to like? Her preferences: baseball, hockey, football, but not necessarily in that order! And, don't even mention playing games – cards, board games – doesn't matter….she loves 'em all!
Favorite quotes: You've got two lives. One you're given, the other one you make. Make it a GREAT day, or not. Remember the choice is up to you.
Heidi's personal comment: This community is truly amazing and very dear to my heart. I can see why it draws so many people, and why people stay once they are here! I am SO proud to be part of the Paul Bunyan Broadcasting team. I feel like I am "home" again! Thanks to all of our listeners! KEEP SMILING AND ENJOY LIFE!
Afternoon drive
Born and raised in Minnesota, Dave got his start at Bemidji State University where he graduated with a communications degree and was featured on the campus station, KBSB. He then moseyed across town where he began work at Paul Bunyan Broadcasting, eventually working his way into afternoon drive on KB101.
The man faces sleep deprivation when he anchors the overnight portion of the annual "Radiothon to End Child Abuse." He can also be heard on KZY, especially beneath a fully-lit and rotating disco ball during 70's weekends.
Dave also spends some time helping the Lakeland Television team with their nightly newscasts behind and occasionally in front of the camera. He has even been known to pick up a spatula in the Lakeland kitchen from time-to-time when he hosts "Lakeland Cooks".
Mr. Brooks is active in community service with his involvement in the Bemidji Jaycees and other agencies over the years. He visits the Brainerd lakes area regularly to spend time with family and friends. He loves his sports, Halloween and keeping a ninja death-grip on his inner kid. Honestly….we think there is something wrong with him….
(Known as "Marvelous" Mark Andersons to everyone at Paul Bunyan Broadcasting). Mark is heard on all of Paul Bunyan Broadcasting's four FM's and capably fills in everywhere!
Mark was born and raised in Effie, MN. After attending Bemidji State University, Mark took a "temporary" job with Paul Bunyan Broadcasting in 1984 that has yet to end.
Mark lives out in the woods with his wife, two children and a menagerie of animals.
Sam can be heard on KB101 on Saturdays, noon to six PM.
Sam "Sarge," "High Steppin' Daddy" Sargent has been with Paul Bunyan Broadcasting for 24 years. Sam graduated from Bemidji High School and attended Bemdiji State University.
He likes everyone to know he comes from "sports royalty" (ha ha). His cousin Gary Sargent played in the NHL for the Los Angeles Kings and the Minnesota North Stars. His cousin, T.J. Oshie, currently plays in the NHL for the St. Louis Blues.
Sam is a father of three and in his spare time likes to play darts, shoot pool and catch up with friends on Facebook. He is currently the public address announcer for Bemidji State University Women's Hockey and is known as "Sarge in the Stands" for in-house entertainment during Men's Hockey games at Bemdiji State.
Listen to Sam weekday afternoons from 2:00-7:00PM on 95.5 KZY and Saturdays from noon to six PM on Continuous Country KB101.
Jane can be heard on KB101 weekends.
She was born here in Bemidji, grew up in Grand Rapids, MN. She moved back to Bemidji in 1983 and graduated from Bemidji High School in 1985. Jane has family and friends in the area and is proud to call Bemidji home.
She began her radio career after weeks of lying on the couch in her apartment in St. Cloud while attending SCSU, wondering "what should I do with my life?" So she drove down to the local rock radio station and asked for a job. She was hired as an unpaid intern. After working 20+ hours a week doing odd jobs, helping with remote broadcasts and recording some ads (for free), she was offered a Sunday night show after "Metal Shop" and accepted.
On the air, Jane would lose her voice due to nerves and wild weekend indulgences. She decided she would go on to radio school in an attempt to at least cure the nerves. She graduated from Brown Institute in Minneapolis in 1993.
Her first gig after graduation was working weekends at Z103.3, the Powerloon, out of St. Cloud. Then Rockin' 101 asked her to come back as their full-time afternoon drive personality. After a summer at Rockin' 101, Jane went back to college in Bemidji and worked part-time at various Bemidji stations.
In July of 1998, she accepted a full-time afternoon position with Paul Bunyan Broadcasting on KB101. In 1999, Jane became the very first announcer on the brand new station 95.5 KZY, and continued middays for the better part of eight years.
In 2007, Jane figured she better finish what she had started many years ago, and went back to college. She graduated from BSU in 2008 with a bachelor degree in Psychology and a certificate in Chemical Dependency. She currently works as a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor at an area program, and as noted above, can be heard on KB101 weekends.

College Hockey:No. 2 BU turns tables on No. 7 UNH, 4-2
Four second period goals key to split
BOSTON — One night after their first loss of the season—and an ugly one at that—No. 2 Boston University turned the tables on New Hampshire.
Tonight it was the Wildcats who imploded with a series of second-period turnovers.
The upshot was four BU goals en route to a 4-2 win in front of 6,063 at Agganis Arena. One night after Kieran Millan had a career high in saves in a losing effort up at UNH, junior Grant Rollheiser equaled the feat with a personal best of 41 saves for the Terriers. Alex Chiasson's shorthanded goal was the key tally of the game.
The Terriers also notched their fifth come-from-behind victory, matching last season's total just two months into the season. They are also now 10-1-3 in their last 14 home games.
"That was a nice turnaround for us after last night," Terriers head coach Jack Parker said, referring to a 5-2 loss that could've been much worse if not for the play of Millan. "After we got back to Agganis last night, I put the shot charts up.
"We got one grade 'A' shot last night. It was like the grade 'A' area was radioactive to us; we weren't in there at all. Tonight we got at them and got at them a lot better. We gave them a lot of shots outside, and they can generate a lot of offense, but we did a good job of bending and not breaking."
In contrast, Wildcats Dick Umile was obviously unhappy. Few of the Wildcats' 43 shots came from close quarters, and the team's defensive lapses were brutal in the second period.
"I'm just disappointed we lost the game," Umile said. "We came down here ready to play, and we played well in the first period. I told my team after the second period that we just assisted on four goals that they scored.
"I thought we played well except we mismanaged the puck on our own zone. We gave them the goals. They had some good shots, but we gave them the puck."
The teams traded chances early. In an omen of things to come, a turnover by Wildcats defenseman Conor Hardowa led to a great bid by BU freshman Charlie Coyle at 4:30 of the first period. Less than two minutes later with UNH on their first power play, Phil DeSimone got the puck on the doorstep with three-fourths of the net open but somehow shot wide.
As the period wore on, the Wildcats gradually gained the upper hand and finally struck with just 49.4 seconds remaining before the first intermission. On a power play in the left-wing circle, Paul Thompson set up freshman defenseman Brett Kostolansky in the slot for his first collegiate goal.
The Terriers got that one back just 28 seconds into period two. After David Warsofsky threw the puck behind the net, linemates Corey Trivino and Alex Chiasson repeatedly whacked at the puck before freshman left wing Matt Nieto finally knocked it home.
Both teams had their share of turnovers in the period, but UNH paid for theirs while BU generally didn't. at 7:06, Terriers defenseman Max Nicastro coughed up the puck, and speedy Steve Moses raced in before a linemate knocked the puck in—only to have a video review that the net was off its moorings.
Still, UNH regained the lead less than two minutes later. Chiasson's clearing attempt went off of a skate, and the BU defense flailed around like the Keystone Cops as Thompson and DeSimone's worked the puck back and forth through the zone until Thompson buried it.
BU tied it within another two minutes. Looking more like a right wing, freshman defenseman Adam Clendening took a nudged pass from Ryan Santana in the neutral zone and raced in on the right side before firing a wrist shot that grazed the post on the way in.
Then the Terriers finally obtained the lead at 16:22 on a shorthanded goal, starting with Trivino digging a puck loose off the right-wing boards. "Corey did a pretty good job on the forecheck, gave me a good pass," Chiasson said. "I didn't really look where I was going to shoot; I just let it go, and it happened to be a pretty good shot. I'll take it, I guess."
Freshman Sahir Gill rounded out the second-period outburst with just 17.8 seconds remaining before the intermission.
"Gill's goal was a fabulous goal," Parker said. "That kid has a knack for the net. When he picked that up, not that we can bet in the NCAA, but I would've bet my mortgage that he was going to score that goal because he's that type of goal scorer."
After intercepting a pass in the neutral zone, Gill raced in and made a great move in tight quarters as a defender desperately attempted to catch up. After a nifty move, he slipped the puck in—barely over the goal line.
After getting away with all sorts of miscues in the second period, BU tightened things up in the final period, allowing almost no great scoring chances. With a few minutes to go, Rollheiser topped his previous career high of 39 saves. The junior said that the game was a career highlight.
"I think it's up there pretty high," Rollheiser said. "I think it was one of the best games I've played since I've been here, and it was a big win for the team to come back after what happened last night."
The only bad news for the home team was a key injury suffered in the first period. "The only down was we lost our captain Chris Connolly for four to six weeks with a broken finger," Parker said. "Losing your captain is one thing, losing your top left wing is another, but it's really tough to lose a junior from our lineup because we don't have a lot of them."
At best, Connolly would miss only five games due to Christmas break.
BU (7-1-4) hosts Brown on Saturday night, five days after UNH (6-2-3) does the same.

AKI- KWAMA-JIGA-ING (Looking After All Resources)
The Anishinabek/Ontario Resource Management Council, also known as "RMC" was established within the Union of Ontario Indians in the fall of 2000 and currently is staffed with a RMC Coordinator. The goal of the Resource Management Council is to improve communication, dialogue and relations between the Anishinabek Nation, and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR). The Resource Management Council working area encompasses the traditional territory of the 40 member communities of the Anishinabek Nation. The Resource Management Council does not interfere with or replace the authority of local First Nations governments nor does it absolve the Ontario government of its responsibility to consult directly with First Nations.
The purpose of the Resource Management Council is to provide an opportunity for Anishinabek First Nations and the MNR to discuss resource management issues, exchange information, facilitate a common understanding, and collaborate on the resolution issues.
The intention of the parties in creating the Resource Management Council is to provide First Nations with a formal, common table through which priority matters within the following broad themes may be negotiated:
· Communication
· Policy and Intergovernmental Affairs
· Forestry
· Hunting/Fishing/Trapping
· Land Use Planning
· Other issues as brought forward by First Nations
The parties agree to the sharing of information and discussion of issues, and collaborate on the resolution of issues of regional concern that are specific to UOI First Nations.
Revitalizing the AORMC
For over ten years the AORMC has been the model in how First Nations and government do business. Its open dialogue and sharing of information only touch the surface of establishing a relationship that built trust and respect. The work done by the supporting working groups highlighted the true value of what the AORMC can do.
In the past year, the AORMC process was relooked at by leadership and it was determined that in order to be effective, the AORMC will need to make some subtle changes in order to meet the needs of the Anishinabek citizens. With a goal of advancing the AORMC and extending to meet the needs and concerns of the Anishinabek Nation member communities, the Anishinabek Nation and Ministry will need to align its priorities to the diverseness of the regions within the Anishinabek Nation.
The AORMC process is in its 10th year, and fourth renewal. This speaks to the effective working relationships between Anishinabek Nation and government.On April 28th, 2010, the AORMC has successfully signed another multi-year agreement and is looking to further strengthen and support the rights based ageneda with regard to natural resource policies with the Ontario government.
Together Grand Council Chief Patrick Madahbee and Ontario Minister of Natural Resources Linda Jeffrey signed the Anishinabek Ontario Resource Management Council Agreement, Trapping Harmonization Agreement, Letter of Commitment and the Great Lakes St. Lawrenece River Sustainable Water Resources Agreement each intergral to the facilitation of movement of Lands and Resources issues.
The AORMC affirms the basic prinicples of mutual respect, recognition, responsibility, and cooperation, and aims to build a relationship based on trust. Consequently, the AORMC has transcended expectations and opened doors for other organizations that may consider a similar agreement.

LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) -- Wilson Chandler scored 23 points and Sammy Mejia added 19 to lead DePaul, which pulled away in the second half for a 93-74 victory over Chaminade on Tuesday in the consolation bracket of the EA Sports Maui Invitational.
The Blue Demons (2-3) will play Purdue in the fifth-place game Wednesday. The Boilermakers (3-1) beat Oklahoma 74-71 earlier Tuesday.
Stewart Kussler had 21 points for Chaminade, the Division II host of the eight-team tournament, while Zack Whiting had 13 points and 13 assists, his second straight double-double.
DePaul lost 87-81 to No. 20 Kentucky in the opening round, while the Silverswords were beaten 88-63 by No. 5 UCLA.
Unlike their opening-round loss when UCLA jumped to a 17-2 lead, the Silverswords stayed close in this game into the second half, trailing by one point with 15:46 to play.
Chaminade (0-2) hit three 3-pointers in a 13-4 run to open the second half and was within 50-47. The Silverswords made their first six shots of the second half and got within 52-51 4:14 in on a layup by Kussler.
DePaul then scored 14 straight points as Chaminade came up empty on nine straight possessions, missing five shots and committing four turnovers.
Mejia hit two 3s in the run and capped it with a three-point play that made it 66-51 with 10:27 left.
The Blue Demons went on to lead by as many as 22, the last time at 85-63 with 4:05 to go on a 3 by Draelon Burns.
The Silverswords dropped to 4-62 in their 23 years of hosting the tournament. Two of the wins have been against teams from the Big East, DePaul's conference. They beat Providence 111-108 in 1991, and defeated Villanova 52-49 in 2003, both first-round wins. The other wins were over Davidson (1984) and Stanford (1992).
The win was the 200th for Jerry Wainwright, who is in his 13th season as a head coach. He was at North Carolina-Wilmington for eight years, Richmond for three and is in his second season at DePaul. His overall record is 200-161.

Scrutiny is investigation and challenging of the work of the government which Parliament does on behalf of the UK citizens. Both the House of Commons and House of Lords use similar methods of scrutiny. The most common methods are: questioning government ministers either orally or in writing, debate and investigation through committees. The government reserves the right to explain and defend decisions and policies made.
The Prime Minister answers questions every Wednesday. In the Lords, governments may be questioned by the House at the start of each business day. Government Departments do not have scheduled questioning days and are dealt with ad-hoc.

Not a lot went wrong for Rice baseball in 10-3 season opening win at Stanford on Friday, the Cardinals first home opener loss in 20 years.
"Opening day, that's about as good as you are going to get," Rice coach Wayne Graham said in a post-game video interview. "We hit the ball well, we didn't make an error and of course we had good pitching. [Those things] will win a lot of ballgames."
Rice's ability to score runs was sometimes an issue last season. It took only three batters for the Owls to score its first run of 2014. Keenan Cook had that honor when he crossed home on Skyler Ewing's single.
Ewing, a junior first baseman from Arlington, was just getting started. He had three hits and knocked in fours runs in the game.
"Skyler has been swinging the bat well all fall and all spring," Graham said.
Leadoff man Ford Stainback, Cook, John Clay Reeves and John Williamson all had multi-hit games for the No. 15 Owls. In contrast, no players on the No. 25 Cardinals lineup recorded more than one hit. Jordan Stephens and Matt Ditman are largely to thank.
Stephens got the start, allowing three runs on five hits in five innings of work. He left with a 5-3 lead.
"Jordan didn't have his best stuff but he thought his way through and got a win," Graham said. "Sometimes you just got to struggle and win, and he did."
The Owls broke the game open in the top of the sixth. Reeves was hit by pitch, and was bunted to second by Leon Byrd. Shane Hoelscher ripped a double to score Reeves. Williamson came into pitch hit and reached on an error, which allowed Hoelscher to score. Rice led 7-3 at the time. Later in the inning, Cook tripled to bring home Williamson and Stainback.
Ditman took it home from there by striking out just about everyone he faced. The sophomore from Richmond, struck out 10 of 14 batters. He allowed no runs on two hits.
"Matt didn't even come here as a pitcher," Graham said. "He came in with no curve ball. He's worked hard and fought through an injury. He's the real deal now."
Rice will look for win No. 2 today in the 3-game series. First pitch is 3 p.m. CST in Palo Alto, Calif. Rice's home opener is at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday against Texas State.

Julie Corey, 39, of Worcester, was given the mandatory term of life without parole by a judge for killing her pregnant friend and cutting the baby from her womb, according to an article on The Huffington Post on Thursday.
She was convicted last week in Worcester Superior Court of first-degree murder for killing Darlene Haynes in July 2009, three months after her own miscarriage, and passing Haynes' baby off as her own.
Haynes, who was eight months pregnant, was found dead in her apartment. The 23-year-old had been beaten and strangled with an electrical cord, prosecutors said. Her abdomen had been cut open, and the baby was gone.
Corey and Haynes were expecting to give birth just four weeks apart and they would spend hours over cups of coffee discussing the names they liked. Unfortunately, Julie had a miscarriage just three months prior to Darlene's murder.
After butchering her young friend and snatching her unborn baby she pretended it was hers, Corey then went on the run when her own relatives became suspicious.Two days later officials got a tip-off and the premature tot was found in a homeless shelter 130 miles away.
Corey, who during her trial had tried to pin the blame on baby Sheila Marie's father Roberto Rodriguez, sobbed uncontrollably as the jury read out their verdict after 10 hours of deliberation.
DNA evidence and a fingerprint on a liquor bottle tied Corey to the scene, prosecutors said, and DNA evidence showed that the baby girl belonged to Haynes.
The little girl, now healthy at 4 years old, lives with her father.

Can Envy Be Good for You?
By Maria Konnikova
Envy may be more motivating than its pleasant counterpart, admiration.
Envy may be more motivating than its pleasant counterpart, admiration.
Chronic sleep deprivation is widespread—and it affects us more than we know.
Researchers are understanding more about why sleep matters to our bodies and our brains.
As a society, we're becoming worse at going to bed.
Was one of psychology's most controversial studies about individual fallibility or broken institutions?
One of last year's most widely admired studies has turned out to be suspect. What happened?
The architect Michael Sorkin imagines an environmentally self-sufficient N.Y.C.
Using data from social media, psychologists can uncover striking connections. But how meaningful are they?
The more we learn about it, the more we realize just how central it is, from womb to old age.
We are different people at different hours of the day, but an early bird isn't superior to a night owl.

Increase Web Traffic
"Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door." It's hard to argue with Ralph Waldo Emerson, but he lived in a time with far fewer mousetraps – and far fewer doors. These days, you've got to let people know where your door is before anybody even thinks about beating a path to it. In a world populated by billions, if not trillions, of websites and search results, standing out from the crowd is both harder and more essential than ever before.
Fortunately, there is a solution. Search Engine Optimization is the internet equivalent of listing your business first in the phone book – in much the same manner as phone books, search engines are where people go when they're already looking for something. And just as companies used to do things like name themselves "AAAAA Handyman Services," proper optimization can put your company at the top of the list.
That's where we come in. At IncreaseWebTraffic.net, we have the experience you need to give you the search results you want, without risking penalizations or removals. And we do it all at rates that wouldn't even dent an advertising budget.

Atlanta video engineer designer Richard Dunn never dreamed when he gave up his Delta Airlines seats for two different flights out of the Las Vegas McCarran Airport that it would lead to national recognition and a meet-and-greet with celebrity and singer Celine Dion. But it did.
Yet that was only after he created a video of himself singing "All By Myself" in a deserted airport overnight, which went viral and caught the attention of Dion, who released a counter video, inviting him to visit her Vegas Colosseum show and to use her bathroom, if needed. And now Atlanta fans of the singer have learned that Richard Dunn went back to Vegas, with family in tow this time, prompting another twist to the story that originally drew 13 million YouTube video hits.
Robert Leach tweeted on July 7 that it was he who had the extraordinary story to tell about a photo he put up on his Twitter account of Dion and a two-year-old girl, and that he was sharing the story on the Vegas Deluxe website.
According to Vegas Deluxe, the former Canadian (who moved to Atlanta) went back to Vegas at the prompting of Dion's video, taking his family and friends with him this time and using his free ticket vouchers received last month. This time he did take in the celebrity singer's show, and his family went with him. And afterward the gracious singer spent time meeting her very public admirer and his precious family, including his two-year-old daughter.
It is always great to see celebrities spend time with adoring fans and take the time to pose for photos with them. Richard didn't have to make a video that called attention to Dion or her singing, but he chose to and he did a fantastic job of it considering he used his iPhone. Celine Dion thought the spoof video was "hilarious," according to CTV News last month. And so she paid tribute to the video engineer's talent and homage to her music by responding in kind with her own video. And that was very classy of her.

I'm moving a couple of servers to a colo and was wondering what you would recommend for a hardware firewall to sit in front of them? Is it fine to just get the cheapest Cisco/Fortigate/Juniper/whatever firewall? I don't need anything fancy, pretty much just port forwarding.
I would not get the cheapest firewall. You need to look at your requirements such as throughput, active connections, security, vpn requirements and more. If it needs to be cheap I would recommend setting up a separate linux box as the firewall using iptables. If there is budget for a firewall but you need something small consider the cisco asa 5505(smaller than 1U), or if you need something with more requirements consider the 5510 or 5520 which are rack mountable. The cisco firewalls have a gui interface and after initial setup can be relatively easy to manage.
Here's an example for some criteria you'll want to consider when selecting a firewall in the scenario you described:
I imagine the brand names you've mentioned would have models capable of what you're asking. Most likely it would come down to performance and management of the equipment.
You are probably looking at "wasting" at least 1U of rack space for this firewall.
I would not buy a consumer-grade cheapie firewall.
The Juniper Netscreen SSG5 would probably meet your needs, but it is a paperback size format and doesn't come with rack arms (that I recall). The first "rackable" SSG is the SSG140, but that's not quite so cheap -- definitely overkill for your application here.
If you can figure out a way to mount it neatly, the SSG5 would almost certainly be sufficient.
Alternatively - get a Mikrotik RB1100 and see how far it lasts (50mbit for smallish packets was on the table by someone running game servers).
It is CHEAP and has a TON of features in RouterOS. Uses very little power, too.
Then later you can upgrade to something more powerfull if needed. Again, the RB1100 is CHEAP to start with.

Review: Kunst & Papier Jumbo Soft-Covered Sketchbooks
From the Kunst & Papier Site:
Jumbo Soft-Covered Sketchbooks
"They feature durable sewn binding and offer strength and economy in five sizes and two colors. (blue & black) The archival quality 120 GSM paper is suitable for all dry and most wet media."
Each German made book has 64 wood/acid/chlorine-free off white pages.
Sizes available and pricing:
6.3" x 7.9" $9.95
6.3" x 3.9" $6.95
8.3" x 11.7" $14.85
8.3" x 7.9" $10.95
8.3" x 5.8" $9.75
6.3" x 3.9" (16x10cm) Jumbo Softcover book shown with large Red Moleskine for size comparison.
Sewn bindings. The cover is a thin cardstock and can be folding back behind the book while working - but that will eventually crease all pages.
The book kind of opens flat, at least for the right side page... There will be a hump if you use the left side of the page.
The paper has an odd texture to it. The best way for me to describe it is "squishy & fibrous." This means that the paper doesn't play nicely with my finest nibbed pens because it "catches" on the occasional fiber. Wider nibbed pens like the Medium nibbed Safari do much better on this paper.
I noticed that the reverse of the page is slightly less fibrous, but it's squishier.
Very minimal feathering, no real spreading, only the Midnight Blues pushed through a little bit on the reverse of the paper. Paper is absorbant, but ink still takes a few moments to dry. Inks show nice shading on this paper.
Not sure I'd use this book specifically as a journal or sketchbook for fountain pens.
But I sure shootin' would use it for colored pencil. I haven't been a big fan of colored pencils because I've yet to find a paper that I like using them on- until now...... Every Prismacolor pencil I grabbed to test on these two images worked so smooth on the paper. Like Butter.
Another doodle using Prismacolor colored pencils.
My Stabilo markers liked this paper as well. Slight bleedthrough.
Watercolor? Well... I'd only recommend light washes, or adding paint with little water. There is minimal buckling to the paper, but if you scrub the paper with the brush, it starts to crumble. (See last image for a close up of crumbling)
Doodle with Derwent Inktense pencils. (Though I am still trying to get a handle on how to use them.) Came out good - but where I wet the pencil and drew "wet into wet" there is bleedthrough.
Close-up of crumbling from repeated (though not excessive) washing over the same area.
In closing, I think this is a great all-media book. Worked best for me with the Prismacolor pencils.
Buy directly from the Kunst & Papier site,
Or see the Dealer List for a store near you.

Completely off-topic but I think you mentioned elsewhere on your blog that you hated how the Moleskine's ribbon bookmarks fray. I've found that dabbing a bit of nail polish on the end of the ribbon keeps it intact.

Bingo! That would work!

It was a fairly mild week for winter, but it ended on a cold note. Conditions gave the heartier of anglers an opportunity to wet a line. Reports from the Salmon River have been decent, though the water is high, making for difficult wading. Ponds and lakes are ice-covered and not accessible unless you're a part-time ice fisher. It's a good time to be a fly tyer!
The Fly Fishing Show, as recently posted, is in full swing in our area. Anglers who want to do some 'virtual fishing' by attending this great expo have 3 options, all within 5 hours of the Binghamton area. The Somerset, NJ show is probably the closest for most and runs a full three days.
The Al Hazzard chapter of TU has plenty of activities scheduled for 2014. In addition to this Tuesday's monthly chapter meeting, here's a list of the dates of future chapter meetings and other events leading up to the traditional summer break:
- Tuesday, February 18 - monthly meeting
- Tuesday, March 18 - monthly meeting
- Saturday, March 29 - 42nd Annual Banquet
- Tuesday, April 15 - monthly meeting
- Tuesday, May 20 - monthly meeting
- Tuesday, June 17 - West Branch Cookout
- July & August - Summer Break
Fly tying events will continue to be hosted by various fly fishing organizations in the area. A&G Outfitters has a number of classes going on right now, and most local TU chapters will hold their own in the coming months leading up to opening day of trout season. The Federation of Fly Fishers Twin Tiers, 5 Rivers Chapter, for example, will be holding a Master Tying Class on February 22nd, as well as a Fly Fishing Academy on March 29th that will also feature fly tying. Details on these events will be shared in the coming weeks.
Stand by for more cold weather in the week ahead. There will be a cold air mass moving through the area starting on Monday that will bring a string of single digit lows with it through Thursday and periods of snow. This will likely slush up the tribs and make fishing difficult for the steelheaders out there.

Media sources are abuzz with rumors about the next iPhone which Apple will most likely release in September. Apple hasn't announced anything officially yet. Some new, interesting leaked photos came out recently: on July 9, MacRumors.com published high-quality photos of the casing for the 4.7 inch iPhone, listing Feld & Volk, an after-market iPhone casing manufacturer, as the source. Perhaps more interesting are last week's photos tweeted by noted tech leaker Sonny Dickson. Dickson's photos show large iPhone shells in colors that are very similar to those of the iPhone 5s: gold, silver and space gray. Dickson has a good track record for leaking accurate photos of iPhone parts. He publicized pictures with the correct colors of the iPhone 5c last summer, months before Apple announced anything official. Both the Sonny Dickson photos and the Feld & Volk shot appear in this article's slideshow. Here are more high points of the iPhone 6 rumors circulating now.
Size: Leaked photos have shown 4.7 inch and 5.5 inch iPhone screens for several weeks, as mentioned in the video attached to this article. The leaked photos and videos indicate the new iPhone will have rounded edges and a thinner profile than iPhone 5s. One rumor states that only the 4.7 inch phone is coming out in September and that production on a 5.5 inch model is not happening in time for the September release.
Price: Some rumors indicate that Apple may raise the price of the next iPhone above the $200 price that's been in place new iPhones for the last 4 years. That seems unlikely given the heavy discounting that's taken place on iPhone 5s since before Christmas. Even if Apple loads the default version of the iPhone with more storage and other features, it isn't likely that a higher price will stay in place for long. In competitive environments, technology prices typically go down over time, not up.
Battery life: MacRumors gave us the bad news on July 7 that iPhone's battery life will only improve slightly with the next iPhone. Apparently the battery specs from factories in China indicate the battery just isn't likely to last much longer than the one in the iPhone 5s today. This is disappointing as many other phones offer options with substantially longer battery life.
Lighter weight: The iPhone's weight decreased noticeably from iPhone 4 to iPhone 5. The competing Droids such as Samsung Galaxy 5s are lighter than iPhone 5. We expect Apple to lighten the iPhone 6 product.
Faster microchip: That the new iPhone will have a faster processor than the current models is a certainty. Microchip capability continues to get faster, cheaper, smaller and lighter every year. The newest Androids are faster than iPhone 5s.
Release date: The Tech Buffalo video attached to this article estimates Sept. 19 as the release date for the next iPhone. Last year the iPhone 5c and 5s were in stores by Sept. 20. Two years ago Apple announced iPhone 5 on Sept. 12 and released it shortly thereafter. So Sept. 19 is a reasonable guess. In any case, the date of the announcement will be known soon because these announcements happen at very large events. Invitations go to members of the media a few weeks in advance, and the media people tweet and write about the invitations immediately.
Name: Early on there was speculation that the newest iPhone might be named the iPhone Air. Virtually all the media speculation refers to the device as the iPhone 6 now. Apple has said nothing official about the product or its name yet.
Where to buy: After it's launched, we expect to see the new iPhone at these retail outlets: Cleveland-area Apple retail stores at Crocker Park in Westlake and at Legacy Village in Lyndhurst, Akron's new Apple store at Summit Mall, plus AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile Best Buy, Walmart, Target and Radio Shack stores.

Modern neuroscience and the interest in biomimetic control design demand increasingly sophisticated experimental techniques that can be applied in freely moving animals under realistic behavioral conditions. To explore sensorimotor flight control mechanisms in free-flying fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster), we equipped a wind tunnel with a Virtual Reality (VR) display system based on standard digital hardware and a 3D path tracking system. We demonstrate the experimental power of this approach by example of a �one-parameter open loop� testing paradigm. It provided (1) a straightforward measure of transient responses in presence of open loop visual stimulation; (2) high data throughput and standardized measurement conditions from process automation; and (3) simplified data analysis due to well-defined testing conditions.
Being based on standard hardware and software techniques, our methods provide an affordable, easy to replicate and general solution for a broad range of behavioral applications in freely moving animals. Particular relevance for advanced behavioral research tools originates from the need to perform detailed behavioral analyses in genetically modified organisms and animal models for disease research.

The fans of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" saw on Sunday night that NeNe Leakes really doesn't know how to apologize. While Cynthia Bailey seemed satisfied at the explanation that NeNe Leakes gave about why she used the B-word when talking about Peter Thomas, there was no real indication that NeNe was feeling bad about using it in her vocabulary. According to Radio and TV Talk on Sunday night the fans didn't buy it was a sincere apology.
Offering up a poll immediately after the show, over 79% of the people who took the poll didn't think NeNe was really apologetic for the confrontation. Offering up a very nonscientific debate, the issue at hand is how empty NeNe's apology felt after being so disrespectful to Peter Thomas. It was like she felt entitled to try and start a fight, which didn't seem right.
The question posed to the fans was "How truly apologetic was NeNe about calling Peter the b word?" The three options were "Not really," "Kinda, sorta" and "Wholehearted." Only four percent of the votes when to the idea that the apology was "Wholehearted" with the rest of the responses overwhelmingly being "Not Really."
There is something to be said when it comes to sincere apologies. The bond between NeNe Leaks and Cynthia Bailey is strong and something like a few words can be easily overcome. However NeNe is being exposed in other ways with her fake apology too. She is being revealed at an instigator who will stop at nothing to get a response and so far refuses to apologize for going too far. It hasn't just happened with Peter Thomas though as NeNe has gone too far with Porsha Stewart too.

Ocean Blvd. in Long Beach is famous for many things, but for real estate Ocean Blvd is known for its condos. Some condos are high rises and some are older apartment style condos and a few are historic buildings. What Ocean Blvd brings is the allure of city and beach life together. The beach is steps away and the city life with its most popular restaurants and night life hot spots are not that much farther away also. Many ocean front Ocean Blvd condo owners have their own prime seats to the Long Beach Grand Prix and the Queen Mary fireworks.
There are 80 active condos listed on the multiple listing service on Ocean Blvd. in Long Beach. These range from the historic Cooper Arms building built in 1923 and the Sovereign built in 1922 to the newer built Aqua Towers. Seven of these condos are priced at over one million dollars promising spectacular ocean views, but the majority are in the $350,000-450,000 range and go as low as $65,000.
There have been 149 Ocean Blvd condos sold in the last year bringing the current absorption rate based on last years sales to 7.73, meaning that there is almost an 8 month of supply of condos on Ocean Blvd. With an average days on market of 102 for the past years sales, which is higher than the majority of single family homes in the city; the condo market on Ocean would seem to tilt to the buyer's side.
So if you are not worried about the sometimes limited parking, the traffic noise, and the home owner's association dues that can rival a luxury car payment; Ocean Blvd. condos will delight you with shopping, dining, coffee houses, beaches, biking, metro link train, and the people of Long Beach and surrounding areas that come to enjoy.

Game of the Day: Bradford 0 SAFC 4
by Stuart Vose
Arca scores stunner in away rout in '03.
30th August 2003
Sunderland thrashed Bradford at Valley Parade to record a third straight Division One win.
Mick McCarthy's Black Cats were ruthless as they fired four goals for the fourth time in five visits to the Yorkshire club.
Defender Gary Breen headed the away side into an early lead before Marcus Stewart doubled the advantage.
Julio Arca (pictured) ran almost the full length of the pitch to make it 3-0 and Sean Thornton rounded off an excellent afternoon with a fourth goal 14 minutes from time.
Sunderland had already beaten Preston and Watford in the previous week and they surged ahead early on in front of a big travelling support.
Thornton curled in a free-kick from the left and Breen rose highest to head home.
Kevin Kilbane then supplied Stewart who produced an angled finish, but both early goals were surpassed by a moment of genius from Arca just after the half-hour.
Picking the ball up on the edge of his own area, the Argentinian cut a swathe through the home side's ranks before chipping goalkeeper Mark Paston.
Sunderland's fans would have gone home happy at that point but there was more to come – Thornton applying the gloss when he knocked the ball into the net after being teed up by Kevin Kyle.
Sunderland: Poom, Wright, McCartney, Breen, Arca, Oster, Thornton, Thirlwell, Kilbane, Kyle, Stewart.Subs: Ingham, Proctor, Babb, Butler, Healy.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship of body weight (BW) and size, dog velocity, and vertical ground reaction forces (GRF) from a large number of dogs of various sizes.
STUDY DESIGN: Clinical research.
ANIMALS: Orthopedically healthy dogs (n=129)
METHODS: BW and dog size, represented as height at the withers (WH), were obtained. Stance times (ST), vertical impulses (VI), and peak vertical forces (PVF) of thoracic and pelvic limbs were measured on a force plate at controlled trotting speed. They were evaluated against BW and WH using linear regression analysis in absolute (nonnormalized) values, and when normalized to BW and/or body size according to the theory of dynamic similarity. Relative velocities were calculated for each dog.
RESULTS: Absolute ST, VI, and PVF showed strong positive correlations with BW and/or body size. When GRFs were normalized to BW, correlations with body size were markedly reduced, but remained positive for VI, and turned negative for PVF. Normalizing the time-dependent variables (ST and VI) also to WH eliminated most size influence. A small dependency of fully normalized GRF on body size remained that was because of differences in relative velocity between dogs of different sizes. Reference values for the fully normalized data are given.
CONCLUSIONS: The inherent relationship between BW, body size, dog velocity, and vertical GRF was demonstrated.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE: BW, body size, and relative dog velocity must be accounted for when wanting to obtain GRF variables that are comparable between different dogs.

Former Maltese Foreign Ministers Nomination for Health Commissioner Approved by EU
by Kathy Jones on November 16, 2012 at 7:38 PM General Health News - G J E 4
The AFP news agency has accessed documents which reveal that the nomination of former Maltese foreign minister Tonio Borg, who is a well known Catholic conservative, has been approved by European lawmakers for the EU's top health job.
In a letter dated November 15 and addressed to European Parliament head Martin Schulz, German conservative MEP Klaus-Heiner Lehne who heads the assembly's committees, said Borg had received a "generally positive assessment."
AdvertisementMEPs noted his "general competence, European commitment, personal independence, knowledge of the prospective portfolio and cooperation with the European Parliament," the letter said.
Borg, named to replace John Dalli as health commissioner after his forced resignation last month over a tobacco-linked influence-peddling probe, is known for controversial statements on abortion and gay marriage.
On Tuesday he faced three hours of intense questioning by MEPs.
Queried over women's rights, Borg said he "would not abandon his personal views" but would respect the treaties.
He said he had personally supported a bill in Malta to recognise non-marital relationships, whether heterosexual or homosexual, and pledged to back current proposals to increase the presence of women on boards.
The European Parliament will take up his nomination formally next week when it meets in Strasbourg.

It took less than 40 seconds for Clemson to get on the board in Syracuse, and the Tigers used that strong start to cruise to an 49-14 victory over the Orange. Tajh Boyd racked up more than 300 passing yards in the first half, finishing the day with a career-best 455 yards passing.
While the Tigers were dominant over the first 30 minutes, they came out sluggish in the second half. Boyd tossed his second interception, and Syracuse had its way with Clemson for the majority of the third quarter, surprisingly enough.
The Orange actually had chances to make the game tight after pulling to withing 35-14 early in the period. But a missed field goal and a turnover on downs in Clemson territory effectively put to rest whatever hopes the Orange had at an improbable comeback. Immediately after the turnover on downs, Boyd hit Sammy Watkins for a 91-yard score, pushing the lead to 42-14, and that was the end of what life the Orange thought they had.
The fourth quarter was largely uneventful; Syracuse wouldn't mount a serious threat after that energetic third period, and the Tigers tacked on a garbage score late.

The Function of Oral Tradition in Mary Lou's Mass by Mary Lou Williams
Date: August 1996
Creator: Fledderus, France
Description: The musical and spiritual life of Mary Lou Williams (1910 - 1981) came together in her later years in the writing of Mary Lou's Mass. Being both Roman Catholic and a jazz pianist and composer, it was inevitable that Williams would be the first jazz composer to write a setting of the mass. The degree of success resulting from the combination of jazz and the traditional forms of Western art music has always been controversial. Because of Williams's personal faith and aesthetics of music, however, she had little choice but to attempt the union of jazz and liturgical worship. After a biography of Williams, discussed in the context of her musical aesthetics, this thesis investigates the elements of conventional mass settings and oral tradition found in Mary Lou's Mass.

Don Gillis's Symphony No 5½: Music for the People
Date: May 2013
Creator: Morrison, Sean
Description: Don Gillis wrote Symphony No. 5½ (1947) in order to reconcile the American public with modern art music. By synthesizing jazz (as well as other American folk idioms), singable melodies, and humor, and then couching them into symphonic language, Gillis produced a work that lay listeners could process and enjoy. The piece was an immediate success and was played by orchestras across the globe, but it did not retain this popularity and it eventually faded from relevancy. This study focuses on elements that contributed to the initial efficacy and ultimate decline of the work. Due to its pervasive popular influences, Symphony No. 5½ is a crystallized representation of time in which it was written, and it soon became dated. Don Gillis did not harbor the idea that Symphony No. 5½ would grant him great wealth or musical immortality; he had a more pragmatic goal in mind. He used every musical element at his disposal to write a symphonic work that would communicate directly with the American people via a musical language they would understand. He was successful in this regard, but the dialogue ended soon after mid-century.

Scoring for the Specter: Dualities in the Music of the Ghost Scene in Four Film Adaptations of Hamlet
Date: August 2002
Creator: Dunn, John T.
Description: This document's purpose is to analyze dualities found in different films of Shakespeare's Hamlet. Each version brings different ideas to it. By analyzing each version and focusing on the Ghost Scene, comparisons of the scene's symbolism are made between the musical scores. The beginning chapters provide a history of film, film music, the play, and events up to the ghost scene. After these chapters come analyses of the scene itself. Each version uses different parts of the play for its own purposes, but there are many commonalities between them. The score for each version of the Ghost Scene will be analyzed independently of each other. This work will contribute to musicology, film research, Shakespeare studies, and English scholarship.

The Use of Jazz in Opera
Date: December 1995
Creator: Ottervik, Jennifer
Description: Methods of incorporating jazz in opera range from using simple blue notes and fox-trot rhythms, to utilizing jazz instruments, to employing elaborate passages of improvisation. Current definitions of "jazz opera" do not consider variations in the genre, which, because of their evolving nature and the varied background of their composers, are diverse. This study attempts to collectively discuss these third-stream works. Jazz rhythms and harmonies first appeared in the 1920s in the works of Gershwin, Harling, Krenek, and Freeman. In 1966, Gunther Schuller was the first composer to use improvisation in an opera, which has become the primary distinguishing factor. There has since been a tremendous interest in this genre by such jazz musicians as Dave Burrell, Anthony Davis, Duke Ellington, Max Roach, Anthony Braxton, George Gruntz, and Jon Faddis.

Social Discourse in the Savoy Theatre's Productions of The Nautch Girl (1891) and Utopia Limited (1893): Exoticism and Victorian Self-Reflection
Date: August 2003
Creator: Hicks, William L.
Description: As a consequence to Gilbert and Sullivan's famed Carpet Quarrel, two operettas with decidedly "exotic" themes, The Nautch Girl; or, The Rajah of Chutneypore, and Utopia Limited; or, The Flowers of Progress were presented to London audiences. Neither has been accepted as part of the larger Savoy canon. This thesis considers the conspicuous business atmosphere of their originally performed contexts to understand why this situation arose. Critical social theory makes it possible to read the two documents as overt reflections on British imperialism. Examined more closely, however, the operettas reveal a great deal more about the highly introverted nature of exotic representation and the ambiguous dialogue between race and class hierarchies in late nineteenth-century British society.

Jean-Georges Kastner's Traité general d'instrumentation: A Translation and Commentary
Date: May 2003
Creator: Woodward, Patricia Jovanna
Description: Georges Kastner's (b Strasbourg 9 March 1810; d Paris 19 December 1867) Traite général d'instrumentation (1837), an important contribution to instrumentation study, is often overlooked because of its chronological proximity to Berlioz's Grand traité d'instrumentation (1843). Kastner's complete and concise treatise discusses the standard orchestral instruments and several obscure and ancient instruments. Intended principally for young composers, it provides the most detailed descriptions of the standard wind instruments of his day and discusses recent developments like the ophicleide and valved brass instruments. After the publication of the Traité, Kastner released a supplement including Aldophe Sax's newest innovations, entitled Cours d'instrumentation, which included musical examples of principals discussed in the Traité. Both the Traité and the Cours were accepted by the Academy and adopted by the Paris Conservatoire.

The Whole as a Result of Its Parts: Assembly in Aaron Copland's Score for The Red Pony
Date: May 2003
Creator: McGinney, William Lawrence
Description: Aaron Copland's music for The Red Pony (1948-49), based on John Steinbeck's story collection, is probably the best known of his film scores. The effectiveness of The Red Pony score stems from Copland's belief that film music should be subordinate to the film it accompanies. Copland composed The Red Pony score using his self-described method of "assembly," augmenting this process with devices to synchronize the music with the picture. Examination of archival sources shows how the score reflects the acknowledged influence of Igor Stravinsky, the needs of the film medium, and the plot of The Red Pony specifically. Despite Copland's modern style characteristics, the music functions much like a conventional Hollywood film score.

It's Not Fusion: Hybridity in the Music of Vijay Iyer and Rudresh Mahanthappa
Date: December 2012
Creator: Govind, Arathi
Description: This thesis concerns the performance of identity in the music of Indian American jazz musicians Rudresh Mahanthappa and Vijay Iyer. In combining the use of Indian classical music elements with jazz, Iyer and Mahanthappa create music that is inextricably tied to their multifaceted identities. Traditional musicological analysis is juxtaposed with a theoretical framework that draws on postcolonial theory and the history of Asian immigrant populations to the U.S. I chronicle the interactions between Indian and Western music and link it to larger issues of Asian American identity formation and activism through music. Through interviews and transcriptions of studio recordings, I identify specific compositional and improvisational strategies of the musicians. I emphasize the role of individual agency in the formation of second-generation identities, drawing attention to the distinct ways that Iyer and Mahanthappa approach their music. Finally, I connect this research to a larger discourse on Indian American artistic identity.

Yoon-Seong Cho's Jazz Korea: A Cross-cultural Musical Excursion
Date: May 2008
Creator: Joo, Hwajoon
Description: This thesis examines Yoon-Seong Cho's critically acclaimed recording Jazz Korea, in which Cho unites Korean folk music and American jazz into a single form of expression. By reinterpreting Korean folk music through jazz, Cho stimulated interest in the Korean jazz scene and a renewed interest in Korean traditional folk songs. The goal of the thesis, the first musicological essay about Yoon-Seong Cho, is to understand how Cho's diasporic experiences affected his music by leading to a process of self-discovery that allowed Cho to interpret his own identity. Through musical analysis, the study proposes a cultural interpretation of two of Cho's pieces that have achieved popularity not only among Koreans but also internationally: "Arirang" and Han-O-Baek-Nyun.

Nammi Truck
When I first heard that gourmet food trucks were entering DFW, I started Googling to see what trucks were already rolling the streets. The first one I found was the Nammi Truck. Luckily for me, they were going to be in my area the following Tuesday. I have eaten there many Tuesdays since.
Today was a special visit to Nammi, as I brought along several co-workers, who are usually not excited about my adventures in food. Honestly, I think they came along today just to say did and hoped I would quit talking about it. They were very surprised when every one of them loved and and wanted to know when and where else they could find Nammi.
First up, my grilled pork bahn mi.
That is a full 12 inch sandwich on extremely soft baguette bread. Topping off the grilled pork is a combination of garlic mayo, cucumbers, pickled daikons and carrots, cilantro and jalapenos. The bahn mi can be topped off with a side of the spicy mayo dressing or my personal favorite, creamy cilantro dressing. Everything is fresh, crisp and all of those flavors melding together is simply amazing. If pork (grilled or barbecued) is not your thing, lemongrass beef, lemongrass chicken, or tofu are also available.
All orders are custom made and even egg or pate can be added. One person from our group ordered just bread and pork and was very happy with the flavor. I've also seen someone order the sandwich without the bread, which has now become a regular menu item, the Nammi Bowl, scheduled to launch in August.
If a 12 inch sandwich seems a bit much, you can also order a Vietnamese Taco.
Same ingredients of the bahn mi, but on corn tortilla. Yum, yum, yum!
Nammi also has some extras that really make everything come together. The basil lemonade is the perfect drink for these hot summer days. Or if coffee is your beverage of choice, they have a light, tasty iced Vietnamese coffee.
In the mood for something sweet with that iced coffee? The truck has a full shelf of sweet treats from Japan. Who can resist some Yan Yan cookies?
Every time I have been to Nammi, there has been a steady flow of customers. Following along on Facebook, they frequently post that they sell out of meats on a regular basis. So, I encourage you to check their website for the daily locations (they move all over Dallas, Irving and Addison for both lunch and dinner), show up early and prepare to taste a very flavorful sandwich and meet Gary and Teena, 2 of the nicest people you will ever want to have a meal with.
