Members of the Elkins Rotary Club learned from fellow Rotarian and General Manager of J.F. Allen Co. Steve Sherrard how road and table salt is mined during their weekly luncheon on March 29.
Accompanied by his assistant manager, Rose Riggs, Sherrard took members of the Elkins club on a tour of the Cargill Salt Mines deep under Lake Erie near Cleveland, Ohio.
Beginning at the surface where the salt is processed and loaded for shipment on rail cars and ocean-going vessels, Sherrard said the salt is extracted from a half mile under and four miles from the shore of Lake Erie.

TALKING?TO?ROTARY — J.F. Allen Co. General Manager Steve Sherrard and Assistant Manager Rose Riggs take Elkins Rotarians on an above and below ground pictorial tour of the Cargill Salt Mining operations deep under Lake Erie near Cleveland at Rotary's weekly luncheon on March 29.
He explained how the mine face is drilled for blasting the salt loose, the underground grinding process and how it is lifted to the surface.
"There's a lot of mining equipment not too unlike that used in coal mines down there," Sherrard said. "The amazing thing about the equipment is that it doesn't rust as long as it is kept underground but the minute it is brought to the surface it falls to pieces. They never bring a piece of equipment used in the mine back to the surface - it is left down there forever."
Sherrard explained that West Virginia receives most of its salt from the Cargill mines, and the salt used in Randolph and surrounding counties is taken from the stock pile near Crystal Springs.
According to Sherrard, J.F. Allen is already receiving salt at the storage facility for next winter.

What materials did you use? This is based on Joe the quilter's class. I wanted a smaller piece, so halved the block size and made 64 blocks, so the pattern would work. When I got done, I decided it was too dark, even with the colored scraps added. So I quilted the heck out of it with white thread. Still too dark. Finally added a thin yellow border, and lightened it up some more. It was FUN! :)
love your quilting, looks great! I think the yellow border really adds a nice touch.
Thank you. :)
I agree, I like the border!
I love our fabric choices and the little bits of color added.
Thank you. :)
The border helps pull it all together
Thanks, clrose79!

From Wikiquote
The Talmud (תלמוד) is considered an authoritative record of rabbinic discussions on Jewish law, Jewish ethics, customs, legends and stories. It consists of the Mishnah, a record of oral traditions, and the Gemara, which comments upon, interprets and applies these oral traditions. A section of the Mishnah is followed by the Gemara on that section. There are two distinct Gemaras: the Yerushalmi and the Bavli, and two corresponding Talmuds: Talmud Yerushalmi (Jerusalem Talmud) and the Talmud Bavli (Babylonian Talmud); The word "Talmud", when used without qualification, usually refers to the Babylonian Talmud. Neither Gemara is complete.
See also: Pirkei Avot, a section of the Mishnah.

Technology is creating an array of exciting possibilities for marketers. However, with each new possibility, the level of complexity increases. There are many tools available to move prospects through the funnel faster, but few better than webinar programs when seamlessly integrated into your marketing automation platform.
In MarketingSherpa's 2011 B2B Marketing Advanced Practices handbook, 92% of respondents indicated that webinars were one of the most effective means of generating high quality leads (second only to website design and optimization). Yet too often, your webinar platform (and the valuable data it captures) is isolated from your marketing automation system. The disconnect delays pipeline acceleration, slows down conversion and complicates sales follow up.
Join us for this can't-miss webinar featuring experts from MECLABS, Eloqua and ReadyTalk where you will learn:
- Why lead conversion and funnel optimization are so important to a marketer
- How the new science of funnel optimization relates to webinar attendance, engagement and conversion to sales-ready leads
- Why integration between your marketing automation and webinar platforms is critical to increasing conversion rates
- Best practices to improve your own webinar process, increase program ROI, and drive revenue
All attendees will receive a complimentary white paper and an Eloqua best practices program builder template that will make an immediate impact on your webinar program.

State Reps. Hansen Clarke (D-Detroit) and Tim Scott (R-Charleston, S.C.) have introduced a bipartisan resolution to call attention to the national crisis of illiteracy, especially among African-American men.
"We're here together in an unprecedented bipartisan way to underscore the importance of teaching our young people and adults the ability to read, and also teaching them the value of education," Clarke said.
Clarke is a liberal Democrat; Scott a conservative Republican. Clarke said this initiative is a call to action that government, businesses, charities and families have to work together to help address illiteracy in our country.
"My particular interest is illiteracy among African-American men," he said. "When you can't read you end up dropping out of school, many times resorting to crime and ending up in prison."
He called that a tremendous waste of young people's lives that will also have a negative effect on metro Detroit's economy.
Clarke also said he and Scott wanted to make sure they brought as many resources as possible — both nationally and locally — to address this problem. He said they will be working with other organizations to underscore the importance of literacy.
Asked what age group(s) they are focusing on, Scott said one of the greatest and most obvious opportunities is addressing adult illiteracy.
"Parents who are illiterate have a difficult time and a difficult challenge addressing illiteracy in their own homes," Scott said. "And there's no doubt that when you're in the third grade, if you are one grade behind in reading, you are a third behind on the infrastructure on how to learn."
Scott also said the first three grades are critically important in a student's educational outcome, but added that if we do not address the adult literacy issue, we can't get affected homes focused back on those early educational outcomes.
According to Clarke, we need to not only teach literacy, but also teach adults the value of education.
He and Scott decided to work together because of their own personal challenges. Scott had challenges in high school; Clarke dropped out of college and gave up hope of ever accomplishing anything. Subsequent bus trips to the Detroit Public Library eventually inspired him to go back to school.
His attention span in reading was very short at the time. However, he started reading books on famous artists. That inspired him to consider returning to school to study art.
"I believe it's important to help educate parents and adult members of the family on the value of education, so they can encourage the student in school to stay in school and to learn," Clarke said.
He noted that if we had that culture of education in our community, it would help motive and inspire young people to stay in school.
Clarke has observed that many times students drop out because of the frustration and embarrassment of not being able to read. Some who drop out get involved in crime as a way to make a living because they don't see any other future for themselves.
"If we can help save our young people and provide them with the skills they need to read, that'll help them reduce crime dramatically and directly in the city of Detroit," Clarke said. "And we've got to have safe neighborhoods if we want to attract families and employers."
Scott said one of the reasons this issue is important to him is because as a kid in high school who came from a single-parent household, he felt as if he were left out from the opportunities in society. He had flunked out of high school as a freshman, failing world geography, civics, Spanish and English.
"As a result, I thought there was no hope in my future," he said, adding that during his sophomore year a mentor taught him that he could think his way out of poverty.
"By doing so, you open up brand new doors to the greatest society that ever was created, and that's the society called America."
It took him a couple of years to understand that, but once he did, he never let go of it.
"If we can do that time and time again, I think it will change this nation," Scott said.
Asked if they are trying to get a specific law passed in Congress or if they are trying to use a variation of the bully pulpit, Clarke said it is the latter, at least initially.
"We're tackling the fundamental issue in our country," he said. "We've got to have the talent if we want to attract global capital to the U.S. Our people must know how to read in order to receive the training that they need to get hired into those good-paying jobs."
Scott said this is an opportunity for us to come together on common ground, to address an issue that we all know reduces the likelihood of America remaining a superpower.
"To the extent that we address the issue of illiteracy, we find ourselves putting America right where it needs to be to remain the world's superpower," he said. "I want to say it that clearly, because, in fact, our educational outcomes will be a predictor of where we'll be 15 or 20 years from now."
Scott said the biggest roadblock the program — which currently doesn't have a name — faces is making people aware of it.
"We need a lot of folks to gather interest and garner steam and momentum behind it, because at the end of the day the success of this program will not be what we do as legislators, but it will be what we do with the bully pulpit in encouraging and requiring and asking folks on the local level in people's houses, neighborhoods, churches, nonprofit organizations and private companies to get involved to make sure the outcome of our educational system becomes one of the best in the world," he said

Fireworks shows, especially on the Fourth of July, are a tradition loved by many Americans.
But on too many occasions, those who decide to stage their own pyrotechnics displays hear not the "oohs" and "ahhs" common at professional shows - but screams of pain.
Big, powerful skyrockets and shatteringly forceful "firecrackers" are available to anyone who can pay for them in both our states, despite laws intended to restrict their sales. During recent years, traffic in dangerous explosive devices seems to have increased.
Backyard pyrotechnic practitioners all too often feel there is nothing to fear and ignore the precautions necessary to handle such fireworks safely. That results in hundreds of injuries, many of them disfiguring or crippling victims, every year, with most of them coming during the Independence Day holiday period.
If you think you must "shoot off" your own fireworks this week, we urge you to follow all of the safety precautions manufacturers recommend, as well as others dictated by simple common sense.
One key precaution is to keep any fireworks - even legal devices such as sparklers - away from youngsters. It takes just a split second for a child, unaware of the danger, to be burned horribly or to lose an eye, a hand or a life.
Better yet, leave the pyrotechnics to the pros. Excellent fireworks shows are scheduled throughout the Mid-Ohio Valley this week. Why not take advantage of one or more of them to enjoy a pyrotechnics display in safety?
By playing it safe, everyone can enjoy the Fourth of July holiday in a safe manner.

Friday November 9, 2012
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- The NFL has levied $50,000 in fines to the Pittsburgh Steelers and wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders for faking an injury during an Oct. 21 game in Cincinnati.
Sanders was fined $15,000 and the organization $35,000. Sanders grabbed the back of his leg and collapsed to the ground during the fourth quarter of Pittsburgh's 24-17 win.
NFL executive vice president of football operations Ray Anderson handed out the discipline after meeting with Sanders last week.
Sanders initially played coy in public comments about the incident, but in recent weeks has said the matter was being handled internally.

Nothing for days!
Yes, lack of interest facilitates down movement for shorts and mm's. IMHO
In retrospect, I should have canned the standing short order and just shorted the day after the upward momentum past $7.20 fizzled out. Then I wouldn't have gotten stopped-out, and I'd be looking pretty good right now. Oh well, live and learn...
This stock has always been under the radar. That being said, it's amazing that everyone including bashers are away.I think at this price, it's a good number to add to holdings. Getting close to where Bruce and company bought in. I see nothing to conclude that out company has hit any speed bump.

The Daily Start-Up: ExactTarget Is All-A-Twitter
This morning's roundup of the latest venture capital news and analysis across the Web:
A start-up built entirely to benefit from the explosive popularity of Twitter has produced what appears to be a good exit for its venture backers. ExactTarget acquired CoTweet, which offers software to help businesses send and receive messages from multiple Twitter accounts. CoTweet raised just over $1 million from Baseline Ventures, Founders Fund, First Round Capital, SV Angel, Maples Investments and Freestyle Capital. These investors will get stock in ExactTarget, which, as we reported last month, is doing quite well on its way to becoming a publicly traded company. Of the deal, First Round Managing Partner Chris Fralic told VentureWire: "I think this is a deal where everyone involved could look you in the eye and tell you it was the best outcome for all parties." Meanwhile, CoTweet CEO Jesse Engle says, "We had exactly the right product at exactly the right time. We made some good guesses that Twitter would take off and businesses would embrace it."….
In one of the biggest fund-raisings for a European drug company in years, Archimedes Pharma said it raised GBP65 million ($97.2 million) to back the launch of a nasal spray for cancer pain. Investors include Warburg Pincus and a fund associated with Danish drug maker Novo Nordisk AS. The investors are banking that Archimedes' treatment will top competing products on the market because its drug supposedly relieves pain faster, within five minutes….
MIT Technology Review released its 2010 list of the Top 50 innovative companies in the world. The list includes about 25 venture-backed companies – not only big cheeses like Tesla Motors and Twitter, but also lesser-known ones such as fabless chip design start-up Luxtera and drug developer BIND Biosciences. We did a quick check in Dow Jones VentureSource to see which venture firm had the most companies on this list. Seven venture firms tied with three companies apiece: Bessemer Venture Partners, Duff Ackerman & Goodrich, Flagship Ventures, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, New Enterprise Associates, OVP Venture Partners and Polaris Venture Partners….
The world of online shopping is finally changing, writes First Round Capital's Josh Kopelman. "I think we've seen more innovation in the last 10 months than in the last 10 years," says Kopelman, whose firm is betting big on the transformation of online shopping….
Sad news for Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert fans. No, Jay Leno is not taking the comedians' places. But Hulu is dropping "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" and "The Colbert Report." The free online video site couldn't reach a financial agreement with Viacom who owns those comedy shows. Hulu – which is jointly owned by General Electric Co.'s NBC Universal, News Corp. (owner of The Wall Street Journal), Walt Disney, private-equity firm Providence Equity Partners and Hulu employees – has been flirting with introducing a paid subscription model. It's also reportedly coming to the iPad, for a fee….
We've listened to, moderated and participated on a fair of share of panels at venture capital and start-up conferences, and let's face it, many of the discussions are just plain boring, or they veer wildly off topic. If you plan to participate on a panel and need some advice, check out venture capitalist Mark Suster's helpful tips for making the most out of sitting on panels. As Suster says, panelists should educate, entertain and have a dialogue (a little debate or controversy never hurts!) Suster, who was a panelist yesterday at America's Growth Capital conference, also relays a humorous story about a blunder or two he made at the recent LeadsCon conference….
The Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, better known as ARPA-E, is flush with hundreds of millions of dollars from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to back clean technology projects. While it's already dished out some of the cash, ARPA-E is holding a conference this week in D.C. with industry leaders to suss out future funding possibilities. One attendee, cleantech VC Rob Day, says ARPA-E will face quite a few challenges, namely with the selection process – not only will the work sponsored by ARPA-E need to demonstrate an economic impact, but the agency will inevitably draw fire for the companies it picks, especially if they're venture-backed. "[S]ooner or later, someone is going to ask why a wealthy VCs' portfolio company just got more "free money" from the government," Day writes….
Finally, we leave you with some lessons on raising capital, by way of Sanjeev Agrawal, CEO of mobile services start-up Aloqa and former head of Google product marketing, who was interviewed by VatorTV. Aloqa recently raised $1.5 million from Wellington Partners and angel investors:

- The template is in an admin directory
- The admin directory is within a directory named in your TEMPLATE_DIRS setting.
I believe the tutorial has proper instructions for accomplishing that if read carefully.
In your case, the template is being found at mysite/polls/templates/admin as you mention because the generic django.template.loaders.app_directories.load_template_source in TEMPLATE_LOADERS is finding it.
My guess is that you simply missed a detail in the tutorial or mistyped something in your paths.
If you still feel this is a problem, please give us more information about the directory you tried placing the template in, and what exactly your TEMPLATE_DIRS looked like?

Hi there
I am having a similar problem. I have the following absolute path in the TEMPLATE_DIRS in settings.py: C:/Users/BernardWork/Documents/Work/WebStuff/mysite/admin/base_site.html
with base_site.html containing the edited admin name but the django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader seems to be ignoring this path and using the location of the django source could base_site.html page. But when put inside my project mysite/polls/templates/admin it works and I know this is using the django.template.loaders.app_directories.load_template_source but it works while the other doesnt and I followed all instructions to the T. If you could get back to me on where I am going wrong I would really appreciate it. I am using a Windows 7 32- bit system and django 1.4.2 and python 2.7.
Many Thanks
comment:3 Changed 4 years ago by timo
TEMPLATE_DIRS should be a list of directories, not files. So you would want 'C:/Users/BernardWork/Documents/Work/WebStuff/mysite/admin/' in your TEAMPLATE_DIRS. But, please don't use the ticket system for support issues. Please see https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/#getting-help

Oct. 25, 1978 Top stories of the Pleasanton Times
Headline: "Council Shows Concern Over Area Prison Image"
News of Sarah Jane Moore's possible transfer to the federal prison here reignited City Council fears over the facility and its inmates. Moore was convicted of the 1975 attempted assassination of former President Gerald Ford in San Francisco.
"It seems to me we have got the who's who in female prisoners here," said Vice Mayor Frank Brandes before requesting that the council meet with federal representatives to discuss the issue.
Earlier this summer the council opposed the transfer of Manson followers Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme and Sandra Good to the facility. The prison is in Camp Parks just outside the city limits and also houses newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst. Mayor Ken Mercer said he and City Manager Clay Brown toured the prison and met with the new warden, Charles Turnbo.
"I came away having a better sense of security about the prison, Mercer said.
But council member Stan Kephart said, "we are rapidly becoming the prison capital of the United States." He supports Brandes' request.
The entire council then agreed to the meeting and asked Brown to write Congressman Pete Stark and Sen. S. I. Hayakawa, urging them to attend along with Warden Turnbo. The prison changed from a coed facility into an all-female institution well over a year ago.
The council was not consulted on the change, and Brandes and Kephart fear the prison may become the home of the county's most dangerous female convicts.
Headline: "Adult Store Tones Image"
Livermore city efforts to tone down if not drive out an adult bookstore on First Street will apparently bear some unforbidden fruit.
Operators of Exotic News have cleared away garish yellow window lettering and yellow letters identifying the store and reportedly will replace them with more sedate lettering.
At the grocery store: Lucky's. Apple cider, $2.25 a gallon; Ranch style beans, 36 cents for 15 ounces; and Mrs. Smith's 46-ounce frozen pies, $1.69.
Real Estate: UCB Relators, Pleasanton. Move right into this one-year new home. Concrete walkway and patio with cover. Beautiful professional low-care front and backyard. Four bedroom, two bath. $84,500.

I've just installed KDE on Fedora 9. But during the installation of
Fedora itself I installed GNOME without realizing. Now I installed
KDE; everything seems ok, except that some apps seem to retain some
things that look like they did in GNOME (i.e, a few widgets like
menus, scrollbars, and maybe some icons), and some have a look which
seems more like KDE's. Is this normal, or is it because I installed
KDE after having GNOME? If it's the latter: is there anyway to solve

My name is Anastacia, and I am the scrap yarn/one skein queen. I buy my yarn mainly at yard sales/thrift stores, so I got used to making do with what I could find. So most of my patterns are designed to use up the odd skeins or leftovers in your life, and are geared towards beginner crocheters or those who just want a fast, easy, but still pretty item.
I'm a 30 something adult living in MA. I'm married, have a wonderful cat named Wedgie, & I work full time. I also teach knitting & crocheting at my local Michael's & squeeze in designing as many hours as I can a week.
I do love to hear from everyone, but please remember that I am busy, just like you, & will reply as soon as I can.
All of my patterns use USA terms & abbreviations.
I try to layout my patterns as simply as possible to save money for people printing at home. My patterns are as short as possible, usually with only one photo on the first page, which you can easily skip printing to save ink.
Like many of you, I wear many hats - there's my "day" job, my "other" day job, and my "real" job - designing knit and crochet patterns. My "other" day job happens to be teaching knitting and crochet. Some of my patterns I designed and wrote up specifically for my students; this is one of them: the subject was things you can make with granny squares, without making an afghan.
The name comes from the fact that you can make this up so quickly, it's great for a last minute gift - hence "in the midnight hour". I am NOT a sewer, but even I can sew the simple lining, and instructions are included to do so. I sewed all the seams and the zipper by hand, but certainly you can use a machine if you prefer.
It measures 4" by 8", but as exact gauge doesn't matter, your clutch may vary slightly in size. Use up your scraps of worsted weight yarn - I used mainly Red Heart Super Saver.
Many thanks to my testers, ritha, Lisamarie9456, and shyamanivas!

Latke time and the eating is easy (and now the recipe is, too)
Why such a small latke all alone on such a big plate? That, my friends, is all that was left before I could whip my cell phone camera out. YES, for those who followed my Hanukkah latke saga about my quest to create easy yet irresistible potato pancakes (subtitled: Latke time and the eating is easy, can't we make the recipe easy, too?), I found the Simply Potatoes at Kroger last night, mixed it up with two beaten eggs, defrosted frozen minced onion from Tom Thumb (where I had originally gone for the Simply Potatoes only to find fellow latke seekers had beaten me to it), a pinch of salt and some whole wheat flour (so I could pretend it was a LITTLE healthy) and fried, fried, fried away.
P.S. That little latke didn't last long after the picture was snapped. The eager fingers of my hungry hordes didn't even waste time with applesauce. Thanks to all for the helpful tips posted on the Dallas Moms Blog (and please, keep them coming, we've still got four more Hanukkah days for improvement). As for those of you still fry-free, I wish you all lots of latke success!

American Airlines, subsidiaries to pay $24.9 million to settle FAA claims
American Airlines and three subsidiaries have agreed to pay $24.9 million to the Federal Aviation Administration to settle more than $162 million in claims that the agency had lodged against the airline company.
The settlement, filed late Thursday afternoon in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York City, must be approved by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane.
"We are pleased to have reached a settlement with the FAA concerning its proof of claim filed as part of our restructuring process," American spokeswoman Andrea Huguely said.
"This settlement recognizes the many changes, including enhancements to our maintenance and engineering processes, increased training, inspections, and audits that have taken place at American over the past several years that address past FAA concerns," she said. "The safety of our people and our customers always has been – and always will be – our top priority."
The agreement covers alleged violations of FAA regulations by American, American Eagle Airlines, Executive Airlines and Eagle Aviation Services prior to the Nov. 29, 2011, bankruptcy filing by parent AMR, American and various subsidiaries.
The FAA on July 12, 2012, filed claims in the bankruptcy case, based on these potential penalties:
– 36 actions against American totaling $156,506,575
– 49 cases against American Eagle totaling $5,278,771
– four cases against Executive Airlines totaling $629,500
– One case against Eagle Aviation totaling $17,875
"The alleged violation dates range from late 2007 to November 2011, the majority of which fell between March 2008 and the end of 2009," the motion stated.
The settlement provides that each company will have claims against it in the following amounts:
– American Airlines, $24 million
– American Eagle, $800,000
– Executive Airlines, $95,000
– Eagle Aviation, $5,000
The agreement provides that $4,741,888 in AA monies held by the U.S. Postal Service and the U.S. Department of Defense will be credited against the $24 million, leaving $19,258.112 owed by American.
In the motion filed by American and the other subsidiaries, the companies called the settlement "a reasonable resolution of approximately $162 million of claims asserted by the FAA."
"Although no violations had yet been found by the FAA, and the Settling Debtors deny any wrongdoing… the Motion represents a proper and appropriate exercise of sound business judgment and its approval by the Court is in the best interests of the Debtors and their economic stakeholders," it said.
The motion said the deal "resolves all pending or potential civil enforcement actions that could have been brought before the Commencement Date between the Settling Debtors and the FAA."
Among other alleged transgressions, the settlement covers the March-April 2008 debacle in which American Airlines was forced to ground its McDonnell Douglas MD-80 fleet.
In that case, American had an early March 2008 deadline to modify some wiring harnesses. In inspections done later in March, the FAA found that almost all the MD-80s it inspected did not have the work done properly, and some rework still did not meet the requirements of a 2006 airworthiness directive.
In August 2010, the FAA proposed a $24.2 million fine against American because of the MD-80 issues, but American appealed the proposed penalty. An FAA spokesman confirmed that the proposed settlement filed Thursday covers that situation and fine.
In Thursday's settlement, American and the other companies said they "do not admit any wrongdoing," but have agreed to the compromise to avoid the costs and uncertainties of litigation that the FAA might have instituted against them.
The agreement recognizes many steps American has taken to improve its maintenance training, procedures, oversight and cooperations with the FAA, plus commits it to take further steps to advance the quality of its maintenance operations.

I bought the premium version of this plugin because it said it would import users from Joomla to WP. I've been able to successfully import content but not the users. I see no option to import users and regardless of how many times I run the migration, it never imports the users. I'm hoping I've missed something because otherwise, this is a waste of money.
I've successfully imported from Joomla 1.5.x to WordPress 3.4.2. I've not been able to import from Joomla 1.7.x even though all parameters are set correctly.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Showstopper Problem With Our Deltek Vision Rollout
We are entering the final phases before rolling out Deltek Vision, and we've hit a showstopper. We're running the entire Deltek Vision system as four virtual machines on four dedicated hosts, in VMware Server on top of SuSE Linux. Each virtual machine is a W2K3 server, with one piece of Vision on it. One is a PDC, one is the web tier, one is the report server, and one is an SQL2005 server. All have dual Xeon processors and tons of RAM.
The issue we are having is that many queries against the SQL server, if they return more than trivial results, stop with an error that says TEMPDB is full. Other times the same queries will work as expected. The size of TEMPDB configured by the DBA doesn't matter.
We thought that initially it was because we had upgraded from SQL Server 2000 to 2005, so we uninstalled and reinstalled SQL Server 2005. That didn't fix the problem. Then, I built a standalone Deltek Vision sysetm on a single workstation, our guys imported the data and tried their tests, and it didn't experience the problem. Right now, I'm building a standalone Vision install on a brand new virtual machine, to try it again. If that works, I'll move it to the production hardware and see what happens there.
If it turns out that it is a problem with running the VM on our production hardware, I may have to rebuild one of the production machines as a native W2K3 server rather than a VMware Server host. Then I lose the ability to fail the machine over to different hardware in the event of an emergency.
Car Accident
Monday when we got up Jenn said that she had heard there was a big car accident on my regular route to work. I decided to be smart and take an alternate route. As I was going along the little main street of our small city towards an intersection with another main road, a big Chevy Impala made an ill-advised left turn directly into my path. I had enough time to slam on the brakes and shave about 10 km/hr off my not overly speedy 50, before I crashed into the Impala. The driver was an elderly man, and his elderly wife was with him in the car. Nobody was injured (although yesterday and today I've had a sore neck and blinding headache barely staved off by Super Motrin), but my truck and the other car were smashed up. A City police officer was at the light going the other way and offered his information as a witness. My insurance company has already stated that they think it was clearly the other guy's fault and they'll waive my deductible.
I'm hoping my insurance company won't try to write off my truck. The damage is fairly superficial, limited to the hood, bumper and front fender. My truck is older (a 1994 Toyota) but it only has about 130,000 km on it. The blue book value is probably somewhat lower than it's replacement cost would be. As with any time this kind of thing happens, I'm totally not prepared to have to pay for a new vehicle.
My insurance covers a rental vehicle. The rental place issued me what I'm calling a ridiculously huge truck. It's a Dodge Ram 1500 4×4 quad cab. I feel like an enviro-villain driving it to work in traffic, towering over the other typically huge Albertan SUVs. I'm going to see if they can change it for a small car or something.
Dear Vendors: There's no legit reason for forging "From:" addresses.
One of my pet peeves, and something that comes up often because I admin our SPAM firewall, is the dumb behavior of vendor and service provider websites in sending our users email with the "From:" field set to an address in our own domain. This is called "spoofing". An example of its use is when one of our staff goes to a vendor site, and fills out an online order form for a purchase order. The vendor's ordering site sends an email to my boss requesting approval of the order. The email that the vendor's site sends has the "From:" field set to the email address of the user who submitted the order, instead of an email address belonging to the vendor. According to section 3.6.2 of rfc2822, which is the document that defines how email addresses are supposed to work, this behavior is wrong.
This excerpt says that essentially, the "From:" address should always belong to the entity who sends the message, namely the vendor.
In all cases, the "From:" field SHOULD NOT contain any mailbox that
does not belong to the author(s) of the message. See also section
3.6.3 for more information on forming the destination addresses for a
Vendors do this so that if the recipient replies to the message, the reply will go to the person who made the order or whatever. Spammers do this because it is common practice to automatically trust senders from your own domain or from your own address book with your spam filters, so it helps spam get in. Many people who run enterprise spam firewalls block messages from their own domain name if they don't come from their own mail server, which is the case when a vendor does this.
Fortunately, rfc2822 provides an alternative means to accomplish what the vendor wants, while allowing spoof protection to be enabled and still not block the vendors' messages. It's called the "Reply-To:" field, and the rfc defines it like this:
When the "Reply-To:" field is present, it indicates the mailbox(es)
to which the author of the message suggeststhat replies be sent.
All the vendor has to do is put something like "email@example.com" in the "From:" box, and the address of the customer in the "Reply-To:" box. When a user replies to the message, the reply goes to the "Reply-To:" address. Unfortunately, too many people who build ordering systems or service providing systems are either too lazy or too stupid to read the bloody standard and do it properly.
Instead, the vendors go to great lengths to write FAQs and create help forums and "compatibility assessments" in order to explain to their customers how to "fix" their spam filters to prevent the vendors' malformed messages from getting blocked. Mail administrators have to often tweak their spam firewalls to allow these damn things through.

I was unexpectedly asked to provide a PHP and MySQL-enabled web server with phpMyAdmin for one of our subsidiary companies to host their brand new web content, that they contracted to be developed by a marketing outfit. The server was requested last week around Wednesday. I had no hardware, no host environment, no software selected, and was basically not ready for this request. We were planning on revamping our public web hosting infrastructure in the late spring after all the wrinkles get worked out of our Deltek Vision deployment, and after we're done updating our GroupWise hardware and decommissioning the old GroupWise hardware. Right now the old and new GroupWise systems are running in tandem in our colo rack, so there's not really any spare hardware capacity or even much rack space down there.
Anyways, I quickly dumped some lab services I had running in Engineering on an ML370, stuffed some ram into it, and started building a virtual server host last week. I set it up in OpenSUSE 10.2, with VMware Server 1.01, and then built a web server VM with SLES9, Apache, MySQL, phpMyAdmin, an FTP server, a firewall, user IDs, and all the latest patches. I deployed it to the public internet, with the virtual server host's interface hidden behind the firewall, and just the appropriate services exposed outside on the VM. I notified the web developers that it was ready yesterday mid-afternoon.
The web developers were barking at me about how long it was taking and how I might cause them a production delay. I got the server out as fast as I could, considering it was spur of the moment and I had to reshuffle a bunch of other work and hardware to deal with it. I assumed that because they were dancing around waiting for it that they were ready to upload content to it right away. Now it's over a day since I notified them it was ready, and there's still no content. They haven't even tried to login yet. It just goes to show you that a lack of planning on other people's part shouldn't constitute an emergency on your part. Despite the fact that I take that as a fundamental axiom, I don't follow my own advice too well and allow other people to impose artificial urgency to too many things I do. I should learn my lesson, but in a service role in our company, it's tough, and often the squeakiest (and most annoying) wheel gets the oil.
Internal Mailing Lists Revisited
I wrote before about implementing internal mailing lists in our company using GNU Mailman. That never got too far because of the user interface. Our test group of users didn't like it. Since then I played with a few other mailing list managers, but having been very busy, I didn't get anything implemented for real. We've also been having problems with our GroupWise upgrade and simultaneous migration to new mail server hardware, for which I've opened a support ticket with Novell. Because of this the list manager server went onto the back burner.
Recently in my blog meanderings I came across a mention of Dada Mail, another open-source mailing list manager. I thought I'd give it a try. I've also been thinking that a mailing list manager would make a decent virtual machine appliance, so I've decided that in order to satisfy our corporate need and provide some give-back to the open source community, I'd try to learn about rPath Linux, a special Linux distribution for building software appliances, and rBuilder, a free service to help you bundle applications as application server appliances. I don't know how much time I'll have to put to this, but right now I'm thinking I'm going to try to build a virtual appliance that uses Dada Mail as a mailing list manager and is mostly pre-configured right out of the box. If it works, and provided the Dada Mail maintainer is cool with it, I'll make it available on rBuilder Online.
Home NAS Software
I've got a little home network like all geeks, and it contains three computers plus various networking devices, like a router/firewall and a switch and wireless access point. The computers are two windows machines for Jenn and the kids, and one FreeBSD box, which is both my workstation and the network storage server and domain controller for the windows machines. This situation is not ideal for a couple of reasons. First, my machine always has to be on in order for the other machines to login, and second, I can't freely tinker with my machine for fear of breaking the carefully constructed SAMBA configuration that allows my machine to be the domain controller.
I'd like to be able to format my machine and install a different operating system on it whenever I want, without breaking the network for Jenn and the kids. To that end, I want to move the network storage and hopefully the authentication off to a different machine, that is easy to build, configure, back up and admin. Since I have no budget, and because I want some flexibility in what the server machine does, I haven't been looking at network attached storage devices from storage vendors, even though there are several of those on the market that target home users. Instead, I've been looking at free and preferably open source NAS software.
I basically need shared storage, some way of sharing USB printers, and some kind of backup mechanism. I also want a DHCP server, but my firewall/router does that for me. As I see it, there are really three choices for what I want to do. First, I could take an old PC and build a full-bore server, running FreeBSD or some other network-server type OS, configure SAMBA and NFS, and CUPS, and some backup software, and manage that thing. Second, I could buy pre-made devices that do network printer sharing and file serving. Third, I could take an old PC and install a NAS appliance software package on it.
The full server thing has its appeal, except that it is complex to build and manage and I don't have a lot of time for that. The pre-made devices are too much money. I'll be happy if I can scrape enough dough together to buy some hard drives. That leaves a NAS software appliance, of which there are a few to choose from, but none of them that I have found do printer sharing.
I looked at what's out there and had initially decided to try FreeNAS, because it requires very little resources, and it is based on FreeBSD, and I have a disk full of data on my existing FreeBSD system that I could just plug into the FreeNAS server and share out. Unfortunately, FreeNAS has a big drawback that makes it unusable for me: You can't apply different access rights to the same shared filesystem for different users or groups, at least via the web interface. I have shared filesysetms that are read-only accessible to the kids but read-write accessible for me and Jenn, and I'd like to keep that capability.
Now I'm looking at OpenFiler, another open source NAS based on Linux. It has much more capable access controls, and supports software RAID with storage pools, allowing disks to be added and capacity of existing volumes to be grown o the fly. It doesn't act as a SAMBA domain controller, but I'm thinking we can live without that. It also doesn't have USB printer sharing, but I might be able to find a cheap hardware widget that does that instead. I just have to find an older PC to run it on.

Sure, you've heard about "the cloud" for years now, but what the heck does that really mean? Before marketers got ahold of the word, "cloud" actually meant something. Cloud computing is a distributed approach where the computing work is spread over a number of connected devices. The advantage of this approach is that you gain economies of scale, reduce vulnerability, and allow for rapid expansion of resources when necessary. No single system is responsible for any one single operation, so devices in the cloud can come on and go offline as needed.
Unfortunately, in practice, the term "cloud" is now used whenever a company is offering anything as a service over the internet, regardless of the underlying computing architecture. That is especially true for cloud storage, where all of your data may very well be sitting on one device in a data center somewhere in the high desert. Not very cloudy, is it?
Symform actually stands out in this space as a unique provider of what we would consider closer to "true" cloud storage. Before you think we are just a bunch of Seattle elitist hipsters (we are totally from Seattle, but not very hipstery), let me explain why. Symform's revolutionary peer-to-peer cloud storage architecture spreads user data over a worldwide network of independent devices. As users join the network cloud storage capacity is added. As they leave it goes away. Symform acts as the central orchestration service, telling each device where to go to store and retrieve data. But there is no giant data center behind our cloud.
Of course this approach means we have to do more work on the backend than our peers, but the advantages are that Symform can be faster, cheaper, more secure, and greener than any other cloud storage out there.

This red wine is very interesting. Very very smooth, deep red and absolutely very Velvety all the way through. I bought the 2011 and you can drink it now, open it an hour or two before will enhance the experience. Put it away for a couple of years more, will only do this wine good.
I am planning to buy more of "Cupcake" wine they are all very good 'bang for your bucks"
Technical Notes
Our first blended red wine for Cupcake Vineyards has over the top aromas of chocolate, deep rich blackberries, red fruits that follow through the palate to a creamy mocha finish that is unmistakable in its intensity and length, with a hint of coconut. It's reminiscent of a blackberry chocolate cupcake with a mocha coulis
Food Pairing
Enjoy with barbecue short ribs, blackberry reduction sauce over filet mignon or venison. Go Ahead, Live Deliciously.

Hi everyone,
Thank you all for your time and enthousiasm. Please find the keynote intended for for the meeting here.
Do not hesitate to post discussion topics on this very page.
We'll come back to you soon with informations regarding the next workshop. Be prepared!
Today, Interaction11 co-chair MJ Broadbent announced some exciting news about the conference. We're excited to introduce our fifth keynote for Interaction11, Ushahidi's co-founder Erik Hersman. You can read MJ's happy announcement here:
My organisation is giving some time to thinking about how we develop attitudes towards UCD, usability and a user experience focus within the company. While we're doing lots of stuff at "ground-level" and there is lots of executive support, we're looking to reach out to the many developers, testers, analysts and managers involved in software development.
When Alan Cooper delivered the opening keynote at Interactions08 this
morning, I was once again struck by how sensible his view is. As I
understood his core argument, it was:
1. We know that the best interactive products are not the first to
market but the ones that have the best quality design.
2. Business managers often fail to understand this because they do not
know how to manage "creatives" among whom he numbers both interaction
designers and programmers.
3. The typical business approach is to develop requirements and then
build the product.
