Sauerbraten Spice
Sauerbraten Blend of Whole Spices
Sauerbraten, a treat from our German heritage, is worth the three-day marination to develop the traditional, intense flavor.
To make traditional German type sauerbraten, season a 4-5 pound chuck, rump, or round of beef roast with salt and pepper. Place in a large ceramic or glass dish, add 2 cups of cider vinegar, 2 cups of water, and 2-3 tablespoons Sauerbraten Spice. Cover and refrigerate for 3 days, turning meat twice daily. Remove meat from marinade; reserve marinade. Brown meat in about 2 tablespoons bacon drippings in a large kettle. Add 1 cup of marinade and simmer, covered 2 1/2 - 3 hours (until tender). If necessary, add a little more marinade from time to time. Remove meat, let stand 15 minutes, then slice. Meanwhile, add 1/4 cup brown sugar and 4-6 crumbled gingersnaps to the liquid in the kettle. Stir until gravy thickens; add a little arrowroot or flour if desired. Pour gravy over sliced meat and serve. This recipe is from our own "Smiling Al" Meyer; he says, "Das ist GUT!"
Hand mixed from: mustard seed, juniper berries, allspice, cassia, dill seed, bay leaves, cloves, ginger, star anise, Tellicherry peppercorns, coriander, mace, cardamom, and red chile peppers.

Maintain alliances with powerful people
Embrace or demolish
Exhibiting confidence
Divide and rule
Manipulate classified information
Accumulate and use IOUs
Attacking and blaming others
Progress one step at a time
Wait for a crisis
Take counsel with caution
Be aware of critical resources and controlling them
Building personal stature
Withdrawing from petty disputes
Creating a sponsor-protégé relationship
Using research data to support one's point of view

Buffalo acquires Conklin
Tuesday, 02.27.2007 / 12:00 AM ET / News
Buffalo Sabres | Press Release
February 27, 2007
Buffalo Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier announced today the team has acquired goaltender Ty Conklin from Columbus, in exchange for Buffalo's fifth-round selection in the 2007 Entry Draft. Regier also announced the Sabres have traded goaltender Martin Biron to Philadelphia in exchange for the Flyers' second-round selection in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.
Conklin, 30, has an NHL record of 29-22-4 in 71 games with Columbus and Edmonton, along with a 2.60 GAA and .901 save percentage. Conklin was 2-3-2 with a 3.30 GAA in 11 games with Columbus this season, after signing with the Blue Jackets as a free agent on July 6, 2006. His most successful NHL season came in 2003-04 when he played 38 games with the Oilers, finishing with a record of 17-14-4 and 2.42 GAA.
The native of Anchorage, Alaska, was originally signed by Edmonton as an undrafted free agent on April 18, 2001, after a standout college career at New Hampshire. During his three-year career with the UNH Wildcats, Conklin was 57-23-12 with seven shutouts, a 2.17 GAA and .915 save percentage, establishing school records for GAA, wins, save percentage and games played. In the 2000-01 season Conklin was a Hobey Baker Award finalist, NCAA First Team All-American and Hockey East First Team All-Star.
Biron entered this season as the longest-tenured Sabres player after being drafted 16th overall in the 1995 Entry Draft. He has posted career numbers of 134-115-25-4, with a 2.53 GAA and .909 save percentage. So far this season he is 12-4-1, with a 3.04 GAA and .899 save percentage.

Allergies Health Center
Allergic rhinitis causes symptoms like sneezing, congestion, and a runny nose. But you can control these symptoms with medicine and by avoiding the things that cause them (allergens). If you are allergic to indoor allergens, such as dust mites, animal dander, and mold, you can take some simple steps to get them out of your house.
By doing these things, you may have fewer symptoms or less severe symptoms.

A Vision Unchanged
In 1991, a permanent site for the museum was obtained at exit 237 of Interstate 80. In 1998, a 16,000 square foot Visitor
Center was constructed which houses many of the vehicles, such as a snow tractor, a HMMWV prototype, a Huey helicopter, a jeep from each branch of the service, and World War II Germany Army
vehicles; as well as archives of military vehicle manuals; displays of rations, cooking gear, canteens, medical supplies, munitions, uniforms, flags, engines, photos, weapons and much more. The vehicles are from
World War II through today, but the displays include items dating from World War I. The museum is also a Library of Congress repository for interviews with area World War II veterans. The Heartland Museum's
goal is, and always has been, to restore, preserve and display historic military equipment of all types, as a way to honor those who served.

Dear Labby,
I adopted a very skittish Scottie a few months ago, and this will be her first Halloween in my home. We have good relationships with all of our neighbors and usually receive quite a few trick-or-treaters. Since our dog is still adjusting to her new digs, and I believe that endless doorbell ringing and a stream of kids would set her back significantly, I'm wondering if it is socially acceptable to let the porch go dark this year? If so, what do I tell my neighbors when they ask where we were?
Holidays Are Uneasy for Nervous Terrier and Edgy Dog-parents
Thank you, reader, for giving me the opportunity to put on my town crier costume and proclaim this:
Halloween, like 4th of July, is a terrible time for animals. If you have dogs or cats, keep them indoors that night. At best, the sugar-induced screeches from the little ones will drive your pup insane. At worst, your pet could face intentional taunting or even physical provocation by older kids.
Remember, H.A.U.N.T.E.D.: Your first priority Halloween night is not to see that mini Lady Gaga gets her fun-size Butterfinger (or is it fun-size Lady Gaga and mini Butterfinger?). Rather, it's to ensure your animals are safe and comfortable. There is nothing wrong with — no apology needed! — sitting this one out. Nellie Nosypants needs an explanation? Tell her you were observing the annual fright fest with true gusto — by "resting in peace."
If, come November, you're still feeling guilty about your lack of Halloween spirit, you can always make a sizeable donation to the dental health program at the local elementary school.

Op/Ed - Hollywood's Got Saturday Morning Fever
by Michael Avila
Date: 16 September 2008 Time: 07:50 PM ET
After mining classic television shows and comic books for every last possible box-office dollar, the film industry has turned its adaptive attention toward trampling the final frontier of Nostalgia Land: Saturday Morning TV.The latest example is the recent news that Universal Pictures signed off on a live-action film based on Sid & Marty Krofft's psychedelic 70's puppet-fest "Sigmund and the Sea Monsters." Sigmund isn't the only Krofft creation making a big-screen breakthrough. Sony has "H.R. Pufnstuff" set up on its lot, and Universal also has the "Land of the Lost" movie starring Will Ferrell coming out next June.

SAN DIEGO & VIENNA, Va., Dec. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights attorneys at Robbins Umeda LLP are investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of the law by members of the board of directors of Eloqua, Inc. (NASDAQ: ELOQ) in connection with their efforts to sell the company to Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ: ORCL). Eloqua is a provider of cloud-based marketing automation and revenue performance management software.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111014/ROBBINSUMEDALOGO)
On December 20, 2012, Eloqua and Oracle announced they had entered into an agreement under which Oracle will acquire Eloqua through an all cash offer that values the company at $810 million. Eloqua shareholders will receive $23.50 per share. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2013.
The Board of Directors' Actions May Prevent Eloqua Shareholders from Receiving the Maximum Value for Their Stock
Robbins Umeda LLP's investigation focuses on whether the board of directors at Eloqua is undertaking a fair process to obtain maximum value and adequately compensate its shareholders. The $23.50 per share offer price is substantially below target prices set by several analysts. For example, an analyst at J.P. Morgan set a target price of $27 and an analyst at Needham & Company set a target price of $26. Further, the $23.50 per share offer price is significantly below the $24.83 share price the stock traded at on November 1, 2012. Further, on October 24, 2012, Eloqua announced strong financial results for the third quarter 2012. For the quarter, the company reported record revenue of $23.8 million, an increase of 30% over the same quarter in 2011. Moreover, subscription and support revenues increased 32% over the same quarter in 2011. Given, these facts, the firm is examining whether the board of directors' decision to sell Eloqua for $23.50 per share is fair to shareholders and maximizes the value for their shares.
Eloqua shareholders have the option to file a class action lawsuit against the company to secure the best possible price for shareholders and the disclosure of material information so shareholders can vote on the transaction in an informed manner. Eloqua shareholders interested in information about their rights and potential remedies can contact Darnell R. Donahue at (800) 350-6003, [email protected], or via the shareholder information form on the firm's website.
Robbins Umeda LLP is a nationally recognized leader in securities litigation and shareholder rights law. The firm represents individual and institutional investors in shareholder derivative and securities class action lawsuits, and has helped its clients realize more than $1 billion of value for themselves and the companies in which they have invested.

Advocacy Group Says Many Popular Sunscreens Offer Inadequate Sun Protection, Calls on FDA to Implement Label Changes
Group: Effectiveness of Sunscreens Hazy
Sunscreens Under Scrutiny continued...
Among more widely available brands, Blue Lizard, California Baby, CVS, Jason Natural Cosmetics, Kiss My Face, Neutrogena, Olay, SkinCeuticals, Solar Sense, and Walgreens made the list.
More on the recommended brands along with the complete list of rated sunscreens can be found at www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/special/sunscreens2008.
In a statement issued to WebMD on Tuesday, a spokeswoman for Coppertone manufacturer Schering-Plough disputed the report's findings with regard to its products.
"All Coppertone products are photostable, provide UVA/UVB protection, and are routinely evaluated for safety and efficacy by independent dermatologists and scientists," Julie Lux of Schering-Plough says.
"Coppertone is committed to the science and safety of sun care and is concerned that reports like this one released by the Environmental Working Group will inappropriately discourage consumers from protecting themselves from the sun."
A spokeswoman for Neutrogena parent company Johnson & Johnson also defended its sunscreens.
"All Neutrogena products undergo extensive testing to ensure safety and efficacy," Iris Grossman says in a statement.
Banana Boat issued a statement saying that all Banana Boat products "use only ingredients that are safe and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other worldwide regulatory bodies," that their products won't break down in the sun, and that the Skin Cancer Foundation officially recommends Banana Boat as an effective UV sunscreen.
The EWG analysis suggested that nearly half of the products contained ingredients known to become inactive in strong sunlight.
"It may seem counterintuitive, but of the 17 'active ingredients' that FDA has approved for use as sunscreens in the U.S., at least four of them break down significantly when they are exposed to sunlight," the EWG report notes. "They lose their ability to absorb the sun's harmful rays and stop working effectively in as little as 30 minutes, ranging up to several hours."
Products containing the sun-stable and UVA filtering ingredients zinc oxide and titanium dioxide were more likely to score highly in the group's analysis.
The report also criticized what EWG analysts called "over-the-top" marketing claims that they contend would not be allowed under the proposed FDA guidelines.
"There are more than 1 million skin cancers diagnosed in the United States every year," Houlihan says. "Sunscreen is a very important part of sun protection, and it is important that consumers know what they are getting."

Savor the flavors of everyday real food, fresh from the garden or stored on your pantry shelves.
By Alex and Ashley Poptodorov
kefir, Michigan, Alexander and Ashley Poptodorov
It was not long ago that I was dependent on medications and western medicine to help me in overcoming my severe panic and anxiety. After 3 different medications and many doctor's appointments, it became clear to me that these medicines were not making my situation better rather they were making things worse. I truly believed that there must be a better way to overcome this.
I began to learn, study and absorb all that I could about Anxiety and panic disorders, gut health and nutrition. What I found was astoundingly simple and I am excited to share my journey with you. I had to learn so much about the topic of gut health in order to enable my body to build up and become strong enough to get off of the heavy medications I was on. Infusing my body with probiotic rich nutrition was essential. Instead of pouring tons of money into expensive probiotics, I opted to start making my own Kefir at home.
This was a huge turning point. Kefir was one part of the protocol I applied in order to build my gut health back up. No matter what you are suffering from, gut health is of key importance and it is sometimes the simplest things that can help us to be the healthiest.
Ashley and I would like to kick off our blog by teaching you to make your own kefir.
Before we start, I want to give you some of the many benefits of kefir.
*Loaded with valuable enzymes, easily digestible complete proteins, vitamins and minerals.
*Supplies your body with billions of healthy bacteria and yeast strains
*It can help to manage free radicals in the body
*Complete protein that is high in minerals and vitamins, especially the B vitamins
*Helps to establish healthy bowel flora
*Helps to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria in the body
The first step towards Kefir making is to obtain your grains. Ashley and I prefer to use Yemoos Nourishing Cultures. You can find them online at www.Yemoos.com.
Steps for making kefir:
Place 1-2 tablespoons of kefir grains in clean glass jar. A quart or 1/2-gallon mason jar works well.
Add 2 cups fresh milk. Any type of milk will work, including cow, goat, and coconut. Raw milk is ideal, particularly goat milk. For sources of raw milk, visit www.RealMilk.com.
The milk may be room temperature or chilled. You may want to allow an extra hour for fermentation if using cold milk.
Gently stir contents, cover jar with a cloth or a lid left slightly ajar, and move to a location away from direct sunlight. This might be a cupboard, pantry, or darker side of the kitchen.
Allow the mixture to ferment for a minimum of 24 hours. It is not advisable to go beyond 48 hours.
Pour contents of the jar into a strainer. Some websites suggest avoiding metal strainers and utensils, while others say it doesn't matter because of the short duration of their contact with the kefir.
Take the strained grains, place them in a clean glass jar, and begin the process again. (You can "rest" the grains in the refrigerator covered in milk or yogurt, which must be changed every 7 days.)
Optional: Leave the strained kefir at room temperature for another 24 hours to increase its nutritional value. The kefir will become more sour, so feel free to enjoy after the initial 24-hour period, as it is officially fermented and nutritious at that point.
Alexander is a health and wellness expert who has a passion for helping others to achieve their very best through optimal living. He is a micro-biology major who has 16+ years helping others achieve healthy lifestyles through nutrition. In 2005, Alexander opened his own wellness facility, A+A Wellness in Atlanta, Ga., and Ashley is a walking testimony for Alex. With his help, she was able to lose 80 pounds and went from 208 pounds to fit and feeling great! Today, Alex has embarked on his newest adventure, obtaining his N.D. Degree. He is excited to detail his journey and experiences with you and get you excited about the endless possibilities of being healthy! Ashley is a Professional Speaker, Aspiring Author and Blogger who shares a passion for helping others to live their best and healthiest life!

As a holistic veterinarian, I feel it is incredibly important to take the whole
animal into consideration when it comes to nutrition. And, whenever practical, my
preference is to provide nutrients, minerals and vitamins in their natural forms.
In this post, I'd like to talk to you specifically about vitamin E, to review both the strengths and weaknesses
of natural and synthetic forms.
Vitamin E is an incredibly complex and important nutrient that, among other things,
functions as an antioxidant. Antioxidants are naturally occurring nutrients that
promote health by slowing the destructive aging process of cells (a breakdown called
"peroxidation"). In peroxidation, damaged molecules known as free radicals steal
pieces from other cells, like fat, protein or DNA. The damage can spread, damaging
and killing entire groups of cells. While peroxidation can be useful to destroy
old cells or germs and parasites, when left unchecked, free radicals produced by
peroxidation also damages healthy cells. Antioxidants can help to stem the tide
of peroxidation, thus stabilizing free radicals.
Antioxidants like vitamin E are crucial to the health of companion animals of any age.
They can improve the quality of the immune response and the effectiveness
of vaccines in young pets, and help maintain a vital immune system in seniors. More...

Predictions for Entrepreneurship in 2009
It's that reflective time of year when everyone takes what they learned from the past 12 months (and what a stomach-churning 12 months they were!) and tries making educated guesses on what's in store for the coming year. (Ok, some guesses are more educated than others.)
We thought we'd join in on the forecasting parade and make some predictions for what's likely ahead for entrepreneurs in 2009 based on recent economic data, conversations with small-business experts and other noteworthy reports. Here they are:
Bankruptcies continue rising. Bankruptcies have already climbed substantially in recent months. But now that the horrible holiday retail season is almost over many businesses are really feeling the pain. Small businesses often don't have the cash cushions to withstand more than a couple of months of tanking profits, and frankly banks aren't likely to lend to these businesses either. Many will ultimately make the hard choice of shuttering for good.
Year of the bootstrapper. Access to credit may ease for the most creditworthy entrepreneurs, but it will still be very difficult for many. Venture-capital and angel investors are expected to tighten further, and banks will continue to be leery about whom they lend to. Friends and family, whose retirement accounts and home values have tanked, aren't likely to come to the rescue.
Foreclosures bite entrepreneurs hard. Many self-employed took out risky mortgages (such as "interest-only" and option adjustable-rate) that will reset at much higher interest rates starting in 2009 and coming years. An analysis by the National Association for the Self-Employed found that about 23% of the self-employed — or about 3.7 million of them — hold these "toxic" mortgages.
Government contracts are hot. President-elect Obama has lots of big expenditures planned to help boost the economy. Small businesses, at least the savvy ones, will be seeking their share. (Also, we expect heated debates over whether the Small Business Administration does enough to ensure small businesses get their promised share of contract dollars.)
Health-care reform moves forward. President-elect Obama promised to make health care a top priority in his administration, pushing a "universal health-care" plan that would mandate that employers over a certain size buy coverage for employees. He's also proposed a tax credit to help small businesses cover the cost of his plan. Of course, nobody knows how the plan will look when it emerges from Congress – or if it will emerge – but there seems to be enough political will to try.
Focus shifts to online. Many small businesses never worried much about keeping a Web presence, until now. As online shopping continues to grow, and more businesses look for cost-effective ways to market themselves in the down economy, more will build Web sites and experiment with local search and pay-per-performance ads and mobile marketing.
Entrepreneurship takes off. Layoffs at employers big and small are expected to continue into the first couple of quarters — at least. But the millions of newly (and not so newly) unemployed will be scrambling to start their own businesses. Attendance is already way up at many entrepreneurship fairs. But getting external funding to start a new business will be the hard part.
What are your predictions for 2009? Do you agree the economic climate will get even rougher for entrepreneurs?

Privateering was a form of legal private warfare at sea in which individuals who possessed suitable ships took the opportunity offered by a war to plunder enemy commerce. In this study of privateering during the Elizabethan war with Spain, which was originally published in 1966, Dr Andrews shows that it was closely connected with trade, in particular having a stimulating effect on oceanic commerce and that it was at the time the main form of English maritime warfare. Dr Andrews begins with an account of how privateering became legal and how it was organised. He then examines the various types of venture, describing the sort of people who took part and showing how profitable it was for some, particularly the bigger merchants and the professional seamen. Two contemporary narratives are included. Finally, Dr Andrews studies the role privateering played in overseas expansion.. Price: $39.60

My Brother Sam Is Dead
by James Lincoln Collier and Christopher Collier
My Brother Sam Is Dead Epilogue Summary
- Shmoopers, meet sixty-four year old Tim Meeker. Tim tells us precisely when he decided to write this tale down: "I have written this story down in this year 1826, on the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of our nation, to commemorate the short life of my brother Samuel Meeker, who died forty-seven years ago in the service of his country" (Epilogue.1).
- Curious to know what happened after Sam's death? Well ol' Timmy is ready to tell ya.
- For three more years, until the Revolutionary War finished, Tim and his mom kept the tavern going. Mr. Heron taught Tim how to be a surveyor (kinda like a colonial era land inspector and real estate agent).
- With the war over and new surveying skills in hand, Tim and his mom moved to Pennsylvania and went into business. They opened a tavern and Tim did the whole surveying thing (which means he inspected, bought, and sold land a lot).
- He even ended up opening a saw mill and a store.
- Oh, and he got hitched to a lady (but doesn't tell us a thing about her) and had some kiddos. And eventually grand-kiddos, too.
- And how about Mrs. M? Well, she was a tough old gal so she kept trucking, even with all the sadness in her life. But she also "never really got over Sam's death" (Epilogue.4).
- Now, for one final word from old Timmy, since he's an old wise man: Tim thinks this country (yep, it's a country now, instead of colonies) is pretty great. He's not going to deny that he likes the United States. But he's also not going to jump on the pro-war bandwagon.
- In fact, after everything he's been through, here's what he leaves us with: "somehow, even fifty years later, I keep thinking that there might have been another way, beside the war, to achieve the same end" (Epilogue.5).

One of George Washington's main concerns was to make sure that his soldiers had adequate supplies of meat: A part of the army has been a week without any kind of flesh, and the rest three or four days. Naked and starving as they are, we cannot enough admire the incomparable patience and fidelity of the soldiery, that they have not been ere this excited by their suffering to a general mutiny and dispersion.
George Washington (1732 - 1799)
Contributed by: Zaady
It is only by fidelity in little things that the grace of true love to God can be sustained, and distinguished from a passing fervor of spirit. . . . No one can well believe that our piety is sincere, when our behavior is lax and irregular in its little details. What probability is there that we should not hesitate to make the greatest sacrifices, when we shrink from the smallest?
Francois Fenelon (1651 - 1715)
Above all, it is not necessary that we should have any unexpected, extraordinary experiences in meditation. This can happen, but if it does not, it is not a sign that the meditation period has been useless. Not only at the beginning, but repeatedly, there will be times when we feel a great spiritual dryness and apathy, an aversion, even an inability to meditate. We dare not be balked by such experiences. Above all, we must not allow them to keep us from adhering to our meditation period with great patience and fidelity. It is, therefore, not good for us to take too seriously the many untoward experiences we have with ourselves in meditation. It is here that our old vanity and our illicit claims upon God may creep in by a pious detour, as if it were our right to have nothing but elevating and fruitful experiences, and as if the discovery of our own inner poverty were quite beneath our dignity. With that attitude, we shall make no progress.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906 - 1945)
Source: Life Together
Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable than fidelity.
Cicero (106 - 43 BC)
Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable than fidelity. Faithfulness and truth are the most sacred excellences and endowments of the human mind.
FIDELITY, n. A virtue peculiar to those who are about to be betrayed.
Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914)

Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.

Vornado Realty Trustreed to sell its remaining 13.4 million J.C. Penney shares, following through on a move that an executive at the real-estate investment trust recently telegraphed.
Vornado executive vice president Joseph Macnow said at a recent conference that the REIT would exit its investment in the department-store operator "in the not-too-distant future," according to a regulatory filing last week.
And indeed, Citigroup launched the offering late Thursday, seeking $13.05 to $13.10 a share, according to marketing materials reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. The deal is slated to price tonight or early Friday morning. It's unclear what Citi paid—the bank bought the entire block and is re-offering it to investors in its role as underwriter of the deal—but Penney's latest close would value the offering at $176 million.
While Vornado's exit comes as no surprise, it marks the latest shuffling of J.C. Penney's investor base, with hedge fund firm Pershing Square Square Capital Management LP cashing out and firms such as Glenview Capital Management LLC and Hayman Capital Management LP disclosing sizable stakes.
J.C. Penney is down 33% year-to-date. Thursday, the stock fell 2.3% to $13.14.

More than 60 years ago, a group of Hollywood residents and musicians organized to give back to the community.
The Music Club of Hollywood was born, and to this day, it continues to help educate and make music available to a variety of audiences.
"We think music should be accessible to everyone," said Chai Lin Chien, club president. "People can become fans and patrons of music. And even if you're not a classical music fan, try it."
The club, which has more than 130 members, strives to support local students in their music careers. It's given out scholarships to more than 100 Broward and Miami-Dade students.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks has been fined $15,570 by the NFL for his hit on Saints quarterback Drew Brees last Sunday.
That is the standard amount for such hits to the head and neck area.
Brooks leveled Drew Brees, forcing a lost fumble. But the penalty kept the ball in the Saints' possession, and they soon kicked two field goals to win 23-20. The tackle left Brees with blood on his chin.
Brooks vehemently argued against the penalty, saying he didn't use his hands or helmet and called it a "bear hug." Brees labeled the hit a clothesline tackle.
The linebacker was fined $12,750 for a roughing-the-passer call against Aaron Rodgers during the season opener against Green Bay.

After the morning and afternoon tutorials today by Andrew Eddie (Joomla dev lead), tomorrow is Joomla Day - Brisbane Joomla Users Group where I'll be doing talk as well.
I've already noticed that Joomla users are a slightly different crowd. Joomla is a pretty powerful CMS with many modules/extensions, just like Drupal which runs the Open Query web site. I'm not sure the two even compete directly although there might be some overlap. It occurred to me that Joomla might be what I would call an "enabling technology" on the web, just like PHP and MySQL have been …[Read more...]

Earlier this month, Dell's Latitude 7000 Series appeared in part on the PC maker's website, with it coming some images and specifications about the ultrabook. Now the line has officially been launched alongside two others: the Latitude 3000 and Latitude 5000 Series notebooks. While the 7000 Series is available now, the rest will begin rolling out in September.
Starting with the Latitude 3000 Series, users will have both 14-inch and 15.6-inch display options, both of which can be purchased in touchscreen varieties. Both models are likewise available with Intel fourth-generation Core processors with Turbo Mode and "business class discrete graphics". Both models fall into the entry level category, and will be available on September 12 starting at $599.
Next in line is the Latitude 5000 Series available in 14.1-inch and 15.6-inch varieties. Hardware options includes up to an Intel Core i7 processor, a well as SSDs and Performance SSHDs depending on need. The displays feature Corning Gorilla Glass NBT to help keep them safe, and connectivity includes - among the common - a mobile broadband option. The series will be available in October, price not yet announced.
And finally there's the 7000 Series, which is the highest end among the group and falls solidly into the "ultrabook" category. The displays are featured in 12-inch and 14-inch varieties, and come with Corning Gorilla Glass NBT, in addition to a tri-metal chassis and support for WiGig accessories. The 7000 Series is also said to be the only corporate ultrabook that is backwards compatible with the E-family of Latitude docks. Available now starting at $1,049 USD.
Said Dell's Kirk Schell: "These exciting new additions to the Latitude line provide our commercial customers what they've been asking for by bringing touch capability to the workspace at desirable price points. The new Latitude 7000 Series builds on the success of the award-winning XPS and Latitude 6430u to redefine the corporate laptop, complete with security, manageability, reliability and beautiful design. And with the Latitude 5000 and 3000 Series, we've addressed the needs of today's dynamic workforce by enabling easy entry into business-class computing."

Blackhawks Announce Two Game Time Changes

Goligoski and Letang expected to return - 11-28-09
Penguins defensemen Alex Goligoski and Kris Letang (above) are expected to return from injuries for tonight's game against the Rangers. Letang (shoulder) has missed nine games while Goligoski ("lower body") has missed six games.
With Goligoski and Letang returning, the team demoted defensemen Deryk Engelland and Ben Lovejoy to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL. In nine games, Engelland recorded two points and was a minus-2. He dropped the gloves three separate times in his call-up. In eight games, Lovejoy recorded three points and was a plus-5.
On the other side of the ice, it looks like Stephen Valiquette will get the start in the Rangers' net instead of Henrik Lundqvist. Lundqvist was pulled in favor of Valiquette during a rough outing last night in Tampa Bay in which he gave up four goals on 22 shots. Valiquette is 2-2-0 with a 2.70 goals against average and .884 save percentage this season.
EN Says: It's obviously fantastic news to get Goligoski and Letang back. They were vital parts of the team's hot start to the season. Obviously, their return will help boost the struggling power play.
Engelland and Lovejoy each showed something during their call-ups. They were more than capable of handling the speed and pace of the game at the NHL level.

I'm having an intermittent problem with a file server locking up when
executing the UltraCopy utility (UtraBac software. ver 8.). The copy
utility copies files from a directory on Buffalo Tarastation which
contains UltraBac backup files from a separate server on the network.
In other words, the files that are being copied to tape are backup
files from a different server on the network. The Procedures I use
for executing the UltraCopy utility are shown below. If the program
crashes, it will always occur at the last step in the process when the
files are actually being copied to the tape and it can happen at
anytime during that process.
Hardware/Software Environment:
SERVER: EQUUS NOBILIS il33R1 Rackmount 1U SATA
OS: Windows 2003 32 bit with Service Pack 2
TAPE DRIVE: HP StorageWorks Ultrium 960 Ext Tape Drive.
DRIVER: hplto.sys, File Version 22.214.171.124
DRIVER: SCSI ADAPTER: LSI Logic PCI-X Ultra320 SCSI Host Adapter
SCSI ADAPTER DRIVER sysmmpi.sys, File Version 1.10.05.00
BACKUP SOFTWARE: UltraBac Version 8.1
When the Process Fails:
The first sign that the program is crashing is the green light on the
tape-drive stops blinking before the copying process has completed.
After about ten seconds the server does not respond to the mouse and
keyboard. After mumbling several expletives, I reboot the server and
try again. When the utility fails, it usually requires several
attempt of performing all of the steps shown below before the process
finally succeeds.
Procedures for Executing
UltraCopy Utility
1. Start up the UltraBac Management Console
2. Insert the tape in the tape-drive
3. Click on the UltraBac Tools menu option
4. From the Tools menu click on the Storage Media menu option
4.1. From the Storage Media menu, click on the Erase menu option. A
dialog box is displayed with the message "Unexpired UltraBac Media
in drive. Do you wish to ERASE this media and prepare it for
UltraBac?" I click on the Yes button.
4.2 From the Storage Media menu click on the Prepare menu option. A
dialog box comes up with a message "Foreign media in tape drive. Do
you want to format it for UltraBac?". I click the Yes button.
5. From the Storage Media menu, click on the UltraCopy menu option.
5.1 An input dialog wizard is displayed that asks for the source
media, target media and options. Point to the source media drive
letter mapped to the directory on the Buffalo TaraStation that
contains the backup files from the previous night's backup. Click on
the Next button. Point to the target media Tape-Drive. Click on the
Next button. Check the verify copy checkbox. Click on the Next
button. The UltraCopy Progress dialog box is then displayed and a

BAGHDAD - The Cav Soldiers responsible for security in the town of Jisr Diyala are changing batteries, literally, as Battery B, 1st Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division prepares to switch with their sister unit.
The "Pacesetters" of Battery B brought the "Hot Steel" Soldiers of Battery A to the town of Jisr Diyala to meet the town council and National Police leaders here, May 29.
Trust is built on familiarity, and the meetings of the two artillery batteries, both made up of 1st Cavalry Division troops assigned to the 3rd BCT, 82nd Airborne Div., with local Iraqi leaders were intended to help the local leaders get to know their new American counterparts.
The Soldiers of Battery A were received warmly inside the town council room of Jisr Diyala, a small town that hugs the banks of the Diyala River west of Baghdad.
"We are excited to be down here," said 1st Lt. Elliott Grant, of Madison, W. Va., a platoon leader in Battery A, told the Jisr Diyala council members. "We look forward to building a relationship because we are family, your Soldiers are our family and our Soldiers are your family."
Battery B's commander, Cpt. Matthew Hopper, of Little Rock, Ark., sat at the head of the table, flanked by his successor, Cpt. Robert Reece, of Seguin, Texas, commander of Battery A.
"I would like to see this council continue to use this place to bring up concerns," Hopper told the council members. "We have to establish the same goals."
Following the meeting, Hopper and his platoon leaders led the Battery A Soldiers to a series of grain fields behind a row of houses in Jisr Diyala. Just a few weeks earlier, a weapons cache was found in one of the fields.
"One of the reasons we went back to the same site today was to show Battery A where they [insurgents] are hiding these weapons and how they are doing it," said 1st Lt. Joe Zoretic, a platoon leader assigned to Battery B.
Soldiers from the two artillery batteries wrapped up the day by meeting with local National Police to start the security relationship with the Battery A troopers. The battle space formerly occupied solely by Battery B has been split in half to make room for Battery A, which will take over Jisr Diyala.
Reece said he was confident that the transition would be seamless, and that the relationship built by the previous sister unit would continue to yield security and quality of life improvements in Jisr Diyala.
"I think I'm inheriting an incredibly established working relationship. The former commander, Hopper, has done a great job building a relationship with the city council and I just look forward to taking that relationship and building on it even further," said Reece.
An example of his predecessor's progress is the tone of the Jisr Diyala council's meeting with the artillery Soldiers. Instead of security, the council members were more concerned with the restoration of a water plant pump, which Reece said should come online in a matter of days.
"This absolutely shows progress that we're now worried more about the civil capacity of the area and not as much about the security," Reece said. "The local leaders stated security was not one of their big issues any longer. They have not had any serious threats in the area and they are now most concerned about their civil capacity, water and electricity."
Two artillery units dividing up one large operation environment into two smaller areas will mean more boots on the ground, and more reinforcement for security gains.
"... This is a key area for security of Baghdad itself as being part of the belt system so having more forces in the area is definitely a benefit, so we can put an end to the enemy flow of materials to the area," Reece said.
