Board President Latest News
Into the Sunset…
…Welcome to my last post as President of RFTW..!
It has been a most interesting three years on the Board of Directors, ending with my final year as President. Over these years we as a BoD have striven to step back from the details and grasp the "50,000 foot view" of managing the corporation. We have had many insightful discussions, rambling phone calls, email strings that went on for days, and the occasional "Let's try that again". But, we kept pushing forward. We went through Bylaws revisions, Robert's Rules of Order deliberations, insurance issues, SOP updates, drafting of new guidelines, selecting Route Coordinators, being sued, and countless other issues. But we kept pushing forward. And as I completed my final days on the BoD and contemplated where RFTW has been, and the group that is now leading it forward I thought to myself: They will keep pushing forward.
When I went on the Board I had more than one person tell me: "You're going to lose a lot of friends". When I took on the role of President I had more than one person tell me: "You're going to lose a lot of friends". As far I as know, I lost none - and may have gained a couple along the way. Leadership is about doing the best you can to serve. If you do your best that's all you can do. And if you do it with mindfulness of your Mission and selflessness of ego you will generally do the right thing.
As I write this I want to Challenge the new BoD members to lead the corporation with mindfulness of Mission and selflessness of ego. Serve its needs so it in turn may serve its mission.
So NOW - I think it is time to go KSU and see some country. Wave if you see the Road Nymph and I along the way – the Ride is FAR from Over…
Fair Winds and Following Seas!!!

Greetings RFTW! April 2016
April. The clock is ticking. Are you ready? No, I mean Really Ready?
All over the country the RFTW Family is "Getting Ready to Get Ready". I would like to take this opportunity to challenge You to take a hard look at Your readiness. To participate in the 10 day journey across our great country you need degrees of Determination AND Preparation.. The Route Coordinators and their teams have created excellent Mission Focused routes and supporting activities but you have to do your part too.
It is pretty obvious that if you are riding your bike or trike has to be as mechanically sound as possible before you leave. If you do your own mechanic work have you taken the time to do a detailed check on everything? If you take your ride to the shop did you tell them about what you are going to do and ask them to take that extra little bit of time to poke, prod and look at your ride? Have your insurance papers? State Inspection good? Registration up to date? Have you done a test pack yet? Does everything fit SECURELY when you're loaded to roll out? Have you ridden a few miles fully loaded as you would be when in a platoon rolling down the highway?
Are you Physically Ready? Have you been riding more? Brushed up on those skills that may have become a little rusty over the winter? We all have aches and pains but the better you prepare the better the daily ride will be for you. Are you carrying a passenger? Are THEY prepared to sit on that back seat hour after hour, day after day? Riding for 6 to 8 hours a day, day after day, in weather that could be sunny and 100 degrees plus or rain and freezing temps is a different animal from the HOG Chapter lunch ride or a poker run. There will be times when it is a grind – not fun or pretty. That is when you have to remember that it is a Mission – we Push On.
As we all get ready for next month's Mission it would behoove us to remember the reason we ride: "For Those Who Can't". We are all ambassadors of not only ourselves and RFTW, but most importantly the message of Why We Ride. The message that there are those that did not come home. The message that We Will Not Forget….
Ride Safe!

Greetings RFTW! January 2016
I hope you all had a joyous holiday season and your New Year is starting off Great!
As most of you know all plans for RFTW 2016 are well down the action path. Registration is open, hotels are set, fuel stops identified, leadership teams are being fine-tuned, and all over the country the RFTW Family is making plans to participate in some if not all of the activities. The Route Coordinators have been working diligently with their teams to create the best Mission Focused routes and supporting activities for several months, but now is when the old adage "the devil is in the details" comes into play!
A key part of each Route is the State Coordinator for each state. These are the key contact points for every fuel stop, lunch, breakfast, supper, school visit, memorial and hospital visitation, camping resource, hotel room block, and a myriad of other details. Their work for the next Run begins as we go through their area of responsibility the current year. Always keep in mind that they, like the rest of the leadership, are Volunteers. We all do our best but since nothing in Life is always perfect there are bound to be hiccups. Also keep in mind that when we arrive at a location we are not "business as usual" for many spots. When you are standing in line at some hotel, tired and ready for a hot shower after a long day on the Run and the line doesn't seem to move - just take a breath. Imagine if YOU were at work and (even though you knew they were coming) 200+ people showed up at your counter/desk/door and all wanted service at the same time.
As we all begin preparations for May it would behoove us to remember the reason we ride: The Mission. We are all ambassadors of not only ourselves and RFTW, but most importantly the message of Why We Ride. The message that there are those that did not come home. The message that there are Those We Do Not Forget.
Ride Safe!

Greetings RFTW Riders and Friends!
Well, Here we are well down the path to 2016 Runs! The Route Coordinators have been hard at work arranging their teams to create Safe, Healing, and Mission-Aligned Runs along the three Routes.
The RFTW Board or Directors has been meeting regularly (both in person and via monthly conference calls) to assist the Route Coordinators as needed, and to conduct the affairs of the corporation. We on the BoD often receive questions or comments on things that that we should change about the different Routes to make them Safer, Better, etc. Sometimes these issues are event-driven and sometimes they are process driven. To give you all a little insight I am going to share some of how RFTW works.
As many of you know, RFTW, Inc., the corporation, is a 501 c-3 non- profit. As such it is governed by its Bylaws relative to conducting its business affairs in alignment with its mission statement. However, the Bylaws do not specifically cover the operations of the annual Run For The Wall Event. This is covered by the Standard Operating Procedures. This is a control document that outlines the framework of much of how the annual event will be conducted. I say "much" because there has to be some degree of leeway for the cultures of the different Routes, and for the Route Coordinators to actually manage their respective Routes. To assist in the efforts there are also Guidelines for some of the Leadership Team positions such as State Coordinators, Road Guards, etc. When the BoD reviews the After Action Reports (AARs) post-Run each year we look for discrepancies between the SOPs, the Guidelines, and the events described in the AARs. If the SOPs or Guidelines are not covering a situation described in an AAR that they could reasonably be expected to affect, we take action to revise the appropriate document. If the AAR describes a situation that was driven by events "in the moment" we use the AAR as a "Teaching Tool" to share with the next Route Coordinators so they can plan for contingencies if the same or a similar event occurs again. The BoD takes the AARs very seriously. These are our windows to things that we can't be there to see. As such they are an important part of concluding the business of each year's events and are a line item on the agenda for both our face-to-face meetings and our conference calls.
To close this particular posting: We are always interested in hearing the thoughts, ideas, and concerns of the participants each year. All of the BoD members are listed on the web page with our contact info. If you have something to say we would like to hear it. Just remember that Communication is between a Sender and a Receiver, and the roles constantly reverse as dialog continues. Reach out to us, but make sure we can contact you in return. You may have emailed a Fine idea but we need more of your thoughts to get the full picture. Make sure we can reach you - include a valid email address and/or phone number!!
Thanks and Ride Safe!

"We Ride for Those Who Can't"— six simple words with a very deep and wide meaning. You first-timers, or "FNG's" as you will be known until reaching The Wall, should be prepared to laugh, to cry, to have your breath taken away and to be humbled.
"We Ride for Those Who Can't"— we ride for the veteran who is unable to make the ride himself, when doing so we are responsible for carrying their need for healing cross-country to The Wall.
"We Ride for Those Who Can't"— we ride for our fellow riders who are in need of healing and in need of support as they are welcomed home, many for the first time ever.
"We Ride for Those Who Can't"— we ride to bring awareness of the POW/MIA issues and the thousands of our brethren who have yet to be brought back home and to shine a light on the government's lack of attention to this solemn commitment to leave no one behind.
"We Ride for Those Who Can't"— we ride out of respect and support for our current serving military who are in harm's way and who are at the beck and call of our nation's needs.
Sunday is mainly 'overhead' meetings....and camraderie
Monday is leadership meetings, logistical coordination ........and camraderie
Tuesday is orientation, coordination, registration........and camraderie
Wednesday is EARLY- staging, ceremony and begin MISSION.......
Whoa! 30 days to kickstand up..
Take a minute and go over these "do's" and "don'ts":
DO be prepared to laugh, to cry, to have your breath taken away and to be humbled.
DO pack and re-pack your bikes at least twice over the next 4 weeks.
DO start hydrating NOW.
DO realize that there are volunteers ALL THE WAY across country who are anxiously awaiting and preparing for YOUR appearance and participation in the venues, honors and tributes that they have worked diligently to provide YOU. DO give them the RESPECT to partake and pay attention to THEM. Thank you's are highly appreciated.
DON'T forget to 'ride your ride' be safe. Not only during, but 'to' and 'from' the Run…
DON'T be late to any scheduled event (such as morning meetings)
DON'T forget The Mission, this is not about YOU,this is about THEM
More DONTS:
-"No Politics"= means no political speeches, arguments or debates, doesn't mean you cannot have a political point of view, we don't want to know about it!
-"No Guns"= means no one 'displays'- we don't want to see one, doesn't mean you cannot have one!
-"No Attitudes"= if you don't know what this means, you probably have one and need to check it at the door, doesn't mean you cannot have an attitude, just means we don't want to see it or hear it!
A note to any FORUM MEMBERS who may receive an 'anonymous' email related to your participation on this Forum and Run. Yes, as others have identified we have an anonymous emailer who has been 'working' our website for a couple of months now. He/she is an internet 'bottom-feeder' who puts out garbage and then watches to see what effect/reaction it may have. This is a puppet-master sickness, attempting to demonstrate 'control' to themselves.... probably does not live in a real world with any control over his/her surroundings. "Pull on a string here, watch the legs move there". I have been averaging a couple per week for months now.
Don't let it bother you, that is the point.
Don't attempt to reply to these emails, the anonymous re-mail program has no capability to get it back to them even if they wanted it. Which she doesn't really want direct interaction, she wants to show control.
After you receive your first it will be easy to ID future one(s), look at it this way, if you haven't received an email from her, she doesn't think she can 'use' you to react or act on her behalf. If you have got one from her, she is hoping to 'use' your reaction to feed the need.
We have discussed blocking ALL email addresses from being shown between Forum members in an attempt to effectively block him/her, but have come down on the side of open communication for all members and are just ignoring this person with the illness.
I apologize for this interruption in the rider camaraderie/repartee and warn all to be aware the he/she will probably be around for a while watching for success in her/his actions.

It is just over 100 days until we begin our Mission for 2015. I want to welcome back our many RFTW-experienced riders. You are the glue and the safety net for our many FNG's each year. You each have your reasons and needs for riding this Run, you each feel the responsibility and the healing and give support to each other, thank you! Those who will be riding with us for the first time this year...button down your collars, you are about to join one of the most sincere missions you can find in this commercial world.
"We Ride for Those Who Can't"— six simple words with a very deep and wide meaning. You first-timers, or "FNG's" as you will be known until reaching The Wall, should be prepared to laugh, to cry, to have your breath taken away and to be humbled.
"We Ride for Those Who Can't"— we ride for the veteran who is unable to make the ride himself, when doing so we are responsible for carrying their need for healing cross-country to The Wall.
"We Ride for Those Who Can't"— we ride for our fellow riders who are in need of healing and in need of support as they are welcomed home, many for the first time ever.
"We Ride for Those Who Can't"— we ride to bring awareness of the POW/MIA issues and the thousands of our brethren who have yet to be brought back home and to shine a light on the government's lack of attention to this solemn commitment to leave no one behind.
"We Ride for Those Who Can't"— we ride out of respect and support for our current serving military who are in harm's way and who are at the beck and call of our nation's needs.
This is a motorcycle ride. Our logistics are devised for and optimized for moving a couple of thousand motorcycles across this country in support of our Mission. That said, we also welcome four-wheeled supporters and veterans who need this healing and support our mission. In doing so we recognize that there are Mission supporters who cannot ride in our midst. Putting four wheels in close proximity with two wheels is a recipe for disaster. We go to great lengths to keep our motorcycle-cade safe from accidents and therefore will set in place some rules of the Run for four-wheel (cagers) interaction.
Basically, it is very important that any four-wheelers on the three routes(except official Chase vehicles) run 15 minutes ahead of us and should expect to meet up with us at the lunch and evening events. There are very few, if any, events at the in-between gas stops for the motorcycles. Fundamentally, motorcycles can run for two hours without needing refueling, while cagers can run for four to six hours without needing a gas station. PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SAME FUEL STOPS AS THE MOTORCYCLES. If you are on 4-wheels and do not have a GPS, invest in one, it is a couple of hundred bucks but will bail you out many times over as we cross this nation. And it will answer many of the questions posed to route leadership on a daily basis.
We will have a meeting in Ontario for all cagers that are not Merchandise trailers or Chase vehicles (you know who you are). It will be important for these drivers to understand the timing and coordination for their vehicles. All cagers are expected to be at the meeting and receive the modified itineraries for cagers at that meeting. It will be on the day before we leave Ontario and posted with the Ontario Itinerary in April.
Speaking of Ontario, the RFTW hotels are currently 60% booked. That means 40% are still available! Oh and Arlington, VA is NOT full! The Host Hotel is full, but there are several other RFTW-hotels which we use every year. Please go to your route's tab (Central, Southern, Midway) on this website to get the latest information available. I understand that the RC videos are now up and that Southern's Hotel list (COMPLETE) is up!
Happy New Year!
I am writing to communicate the latest info for the Kick-Off and Arrival Hotel Booking info.
You can book your ONTARIO and ARLINGTON rooms NOW!
The Route Coordinators will communicate the Hotel lists for the routes (CENTRAL and MIDWAY already have- thanks Don and Billy!)
STONEY and CJ need to get theirs up yet, I believe they have targeted mid-Month for the full list!
Here is the 'all-riders' booking info for Ontario and Arlington:
You can book your rooms now!!
As I see that only Central route has posted their Hotel lists as of Jan. 2nd..I would like to make sure that the Midway and Southern riders also have a fair shot at booking their hotels-- at least in Ontario (the kick-off) and Arlington (our target). I cannot control the info for each route's hotels along the routes but I do have control of the rates and booking info for the launch and arrival locations.
There are 4 of them listed and The Radisson is the Host Hotel
All 4 hotels can be booked through a single weblink:click on the link, you can exit at anytime
there is also a single phone number for all 4 contracted hotels in Ontario if you wish to call instead:
Contact info for the Host Hotel is:
4610 North Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA 22203
Phone:(703) 243-9800
Again, Happy New Year!
December 2014 – UPDATE
I have seen a flurry of activity through the website registration tab. I believe we are approaching the two hundred pre-registered mark and it isn't even Mid-December yet!! I believe I can assure everyone that the online pre-registration is OPEN.
Let's check 'em off together:
Ontario Host Hotel communicated- ONTARIO RADISSON AIRPORT, Ontario, CA. √
Ontario Launch site chosen and Hotels SELECTED, √
Arlington National Cemetery Authorization OBTAINED, √
Route Coordinator's 2015 messages UPDATED, √
2014/2015 Store OPEN, √
Route Coordinator's leadership teams ASSEMBLED, √
Pre-registration OPEN, √
Do Not attempt to book a room until central-booking Phone number is announced on line through itineraries and Post.
Arlington HOST Hotel communicated – HOLIDAY INN-BALLSTON, Arlington, VA. √
'Itineraries' Posted---not yet, should be by New Year, Jan.1, 2015 (oops!)
Route 'Contacts' all Posted –Central, √; Southern, √; Midway, not yet (oops!)
Moving along, we expect the last wrinkles and details to all flush out over the next couple of weeks. The signs and hats and patches and lanyards and windshield banners and, and, and, are all on order. New 2015 Flyers, new promotional video and new products for the store are in various levels of completion and coming shortly. The hotels along each route have been selected, the gas stops on each route have all been selected, and negotiated with for RFTW rates. Your Platoon Leaders have been contacted, your advance teams are forming with fuelers and stagers and such, your Road Guards are re-cert'ing their skills and you Riders.............?
Let's review the Rider's checklist:
- Your riding skills? Get 'em ready
- Your Bike's maintenance? Get it in shape
- Your travel gear? Pack and re-pack
- Your health? Biker UP! Cuz it will be;
- Hot
- Cold
- Wet
- Long
- Emotional
What? It's 140 days to Kickstands up? ...You mean its ONLY 140 days to kickstands up! It seems too far away and then it seems to be coming too quickly, just like Christmas.
Oh yeah! Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to RFTW and supporters! And Happy New Year,
Remember our Mission and those whom we represent. God Bless our military and especially be with those who cannot be home during these Holidays.
Almost feel panic as every week goes by, as every month goes by.
Almost feel elation as the mental countdown clock tics away towards another Run drawing near.
'Elation' as the Mission beckons and 'Panic' as I realize the magnitude of what we are about to pull off and I watch all of the flurry of activity going on behind the scenes by Route Coordinators, Road Guard Captains, Advance team Captains, Platoon leadership, state coordinators, fundraising event organizers, Hotel negotiations, meal coordination, gas stop coordination, LEO communication and coordination and rider communications.
"Stoney" (Southern Route RC)"EZ" (Central Route RC) and "Tumbleweed" (Midway Route RC) are marshaling their resources, engaging their leadership teams and orchestrating the beginnings of RFTW 2015. Our Arlington National Cemetery interaction is once again assured for 2015 (thanks "Road King"). The major metropolitan areas we traverse are well into the planning stages and step-by-step choreography (bet you never thought you'd see "Stoney's" name in the same paragraph with 'choreography'!).
I am impressed each year by the riders that 'step-up' when needed and 'step-forward' when asked. Thank you!
Our California launch will take a slightly different turn this year, sort of 'back to the future'; prior to kicking off out of Rancho Cucamonga (RC) back in 2008, we launched for many years out of Ontario, CA (right next door to RC). Well, as we have experienced over the past few years, we have outgrown the capability of RC hotels to handle such a large group as RFTW.
Our Mission 2015 will once again begin in Ontario, CA- we will have a significantly larger host hotel (with better rates) with adjacent alternative hotels (with better rates). The Radisson Hotel Ontario Airport will be our new host hotel and we have contracts with 4 other hotels all within a click of the host. The Ontario Convention Center and Visitors Bureau will handle all reservations for the 5 contracted hotels all with one single phone number, to be posted.
We will have over 600 parking spaces at our beck and call at The Radisson alone and we will sleep less than 100 yards from the Wednesday morning Kick-off staging area at the Ontario Convention Center, which is three times the size of our staging area these past 7 years. Tuesday night's RFTW-Kick-off-dinner will be hosted onsite at the Radisson and INSIDE. Even better, the main-drag from KSU on Wednesday morning is a direct merge onto the freeway. FNG's probably cannot appreciate this yet, but…you will!
Now, the main questions I continually get asked:
- Run Hotel lists will not go up until the New Year, the negotiated rates are significant so please don't try to book outside of the RFTW published window (I know some of you do!) you'll miss out on significant savings…
- RFTW Registration opens at the same time as every year, January 1st -- no, we are not behind, it just feels that way since we (all y'all)are ready to roll again the day after we get back!
Support The Mission, Support your Route Coordinator, Take the time to engage others and talk about The Run and if you can, volunteer to be a resource for your Route as well as a Rider for The Mission. Attend any local RFTW rider support groups and encourage our FNG's.
If you are in Route leadership already, get your RC to post up contact info on the website so that you can be helped!!
All Gave Some, Some Gave All
August 2014
Ken "Wish" Hargrove
I am honored to be selected as President for this next year, I am committed to our Mission and the success of this year's Run, just as I have been committed to the success of every Run since my first year in 2007. What do I bring to the table? A lot of two-wheeled Run miles; ATW SR- 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, ATW MR- 2014 and Participant CR-2008.
You might ask what happened to All The Way in 2008? Well, as my wife always says, every great story starts with "No $#!+, there I was…". Well "No $#!+, there we were…" putting some pre-run break-in miles on our new rides, the week before RFTW 2008. Next thing we knew her bike flips at 65mph on I-10 and she is in a body cast for the next 9 months. It was all I could do to register and ride to the first gas stop that year.
Since then I've volunteered as Tailgunner for 2 years, Platoon Leader 1 year, Road Guard for 3 years and on the Board of Directors as Secretary/Treasurer for the past 2 years. Why do I ride? Why do we all? I have buddies and family and friends on the Wall. I spent 2 tours in Nam from late 1968 through most of 1970. I have trouble even approaching The Wall. Going with RFTW support eases the approach. I see, hear and feel them as I get closer. Thank you, Brothers and Sisters.
I am committed to the POW/MIA Awareness campaign that we all wage, I honor our currently serving military at every chance and I am involved in Veteran's events where I am able. Along with my RFTW Mission commitments, I serve as 1st Vice Commander of my local American Legion, Post 78 in Claremont, CA. I'm a Member of the local Marine Corps League, Detachment 965. I'm a Life Member of DAV I'm also Chair of the Claremont High School Veteran's Alumni Committee, where I diligently uncover and archive, 113 years of Alumni veterans.
I have 4 kids and 13 grandkids. The 2 oldest of my grandkids have been on the Run, 1 of them All The Way. The younger ones are already planning their 'turns' to accompany Grandpa. We make it an honor for them to be able to go. They need to 'qualify' to ride with this crusty crew. They had to run military donation drives, send packages to the troops, write essays on American Flag protocol and write reports on the Congressional Medal of Honor. One of them wrote a detailed summary of my wife's favorite CMOH recipient's life. All 'graded' by my wife, who has now rehabbed enough so that she was able to ride All The Way finally this past year.
What do I think we need to focus on for 2015? Maximize our profile as we cross this country. We have started some great relationships with a couple of National Corporations, KIA and Pepsi. Each route has some highly visible events and some deeply personal interactions with their supporters along the way. I still come across people that have never heard of us, we need to harness these lost opportunities. It is a particular shame when I come across the many veterans that do not know that we are even out there. That veteran very likely has a need that we can meet, a cross we can help him/her bear, a 'Welcome Home' that can make a world of difference and if they don't have a need at least they can pass along awareness of our Mission and be given a chance to participate.
I am looking forward to working with a highly capable and motivated Board for 2014/2015. There are many challenges in front of us to insure RFTW 2015 is as good or even better than every Run for the past 26 years, not the least of which is to better organize our Rancho kick-off venue. The Route Coordinators, Assistant Route Coordinators and Road Guard Captains are the core leadership of each Route for which the Route Coordinator is the General. It is our responsibility to make sure that we give these Generals the resources they need to make it happen.
Support The Mission, Support your Route Coordinator, Take the time to engage others and talk about The Run and if you can, volunteer to be a resource for your Route as well as a Rider for The Mission. I look forward to working with you in this coming year.
...I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the kick-off in California this year. We had to react on short notice this past year, to a surprise by the past host hotel(s) not being able to participate in 2014. We will be going 'back to the future' in 2015 as we launch out of Ontario, California as RFTW had for many years until 2008. I'll be making a separate announcement in the October newsletter, which will be mirrored here, about the new venue.

This Buying Guide focuses on NAS product issues and provides a series of specifications to help you make on-the-spot comparisons between products from vendors such as Attune Systems Inc., EMC Corp., Hitachi Data Systems Inc., IBM and Microsoft Corp.
Defining the datacentre needs of 21st century enterprises
A collection of our most popular articles on datacentre management, including: Cloud vs. Colocation: Why both make sense for the enterprise right now; AWS at 10: How the cloud giant shook up enterprise IT and Life on the edge: The benefits of using micro datacenters

@29739 Evaluate the software's suite of features. Because NAS management software offerings vary dramatically, it's important to determine the features you'll need initially as well as anticipate those that may be useful down the road. Features include snapshots, local and remote mirroring, NDMP support, virtual servers, clustered and enterprise namespace support, transparent data movement and migration, transparent failover, performance and activity monitoring and alerts, WORM drive compatibility, support for large file systems and lots of small files, NFS and CIFS support, along with file virtualization (e.g., aggregation, data movement and replication). Features and capabilities vary with the software platform. For example, Windows Storage Server 2003 may be easy to configure, but a more proprietary platform, such as IBM's System Storage N series software, may offer superior performance or scalability.
Consider the system requirements. NAS management software is typically installed on a server, so this demands an available server that meets the software's requirements for operating system, CPU, memory and other computing resources. This is usually no problem for larger businesses, but it may be a problem for smaller organizations with limited server availability -- especially if the available server is already running other software.
As an example, Adaptec Inc.'s Snap Server Manager software requires a Pentium III 133 MHz processor, 128 MB RAM, Snap Server GuardianOS v2.6 or higher, Snap Server SnapOS v3.4 or higher and Java Virtual Machine V1.4.1. Server virtualization can further strain resources, since the physical server is carved up into multiple logical servers that all draw simultaneously upon the same CPU and other computing resources. (See the product specifications page for other details.)
Evaluate the tool's hardware interoperability. Since it's cumbersome and impractical to use a different management tool for each NAS device, companies should select software that can support numerous NAS devices across the organization. This means committing to NAS products from a single vendor or selecting a tool that can support NAS devices from different manufacturers. Recognize the scope of NAS appliances or gateways supported by the software and determine whether the management tool can cover the entire organization adequately.
Evaluate the tool's management interoperability. Many NAS management tools can function through network management tools already in use in the organization, such as Hewlett-Packard Co.'s OpenView, SNMP, SMI-S, Java, HTTP, HTTPS or XML. This lets administrators run NAS management tools through their existing management platform, instead of having to learn and operate the NAS management software as a separate tool and process. While that may not pose a problem for limited NAS deployments where NAS management overhead is limited, but can become an bottleneck in environments where NAS overhead is heavy.
Evaluate the role of NAS virtualization. NAS management may also include virtualization capabilities that allow multiple NAS platforms to appear as a single storage resource. This makes it easier for administrators to allocate storage and improves overall storage utilization because no NAS systems are left "orphaned" and forgotten in the enterprise. One solution is to implement a distributed file system, creating a global namespace between servers and NAS boxes. In other cases, virtualization is implemented through hardware appliances that pool individual NAS filers. As the number of NAS boxes grows, the efficiencies offered by virtualization should be considered more strongly.
Consider the level of automation available. Management software becomes more valuable when it can automate many of the most common storage management functions, including resource location/identification, provisioning, software updates and routine maintenance functions. NAS management software should schedule important tasks like software updates or backups during off-peak hours. Management tools should provide notifications and alerts in response to critical storage conditions, such as low availability of storage. Some NAS management tools also handle capacity growth, which helps administrators track storage utilization and plan upgrades. Staying ahead of needs is a key issue in preventing application downtime and maintaining storage performance.
Consider the cost impact. Beyond the up-front cost of acquiring software, remember that some features and functionality may be optional, and including them will add to the cost. Many software tools also require yearly license (aka software maintenance) fees that will multiply the tool's cost over time. Weigh the software's value against its TCO, which should include all necessary onetime and recurring fees.
Consider the management skill set. Effective storage management requires working familiarity with the tools in use. New management tools, or tools from different vendors, demand training and practice for proficiency. Administrators and other key IT staff need to be adequately trained. In some cases, training is included as part of the acquisition cost. If not, the costs should be included in the product's TCO.

Despite rising costs for corn, wheat, soybeans, and other key commodities this year, our ratings on companies across the food chain--including grain originators, commodity meat producers and processors, and packaged food makers--have remained generally stable this year. Beef and pork producers have even experienced some upgrades. A notable exception is the poultry sector, which has experienced multiple downgrades and negative outlook revisions in 2011, primarily because of rising feed costs and weak pricing. The economic outlook for 2012, while still uncertain, isn't too rosy at present, which means that commodity inflation may subside. The potential for a more prolonged economic recovery may bring prices down despite lower supplies, particularly of corn. Oil prices remain volatile and are still straining consumer...

If I won the lottery, I'd pay off my house, take care of my family, buy a more reliable car, and then would spend ungodly amounts of money on expensive collectibles like Sideshow's upcoming Skeletor from Masters of the Universe. Retailing for $449.99, this detailed sculpt of Eternia's overlord of evil is slated to release in December. If you're willing to throw down the big bucks for it, preorders opened today.
Sideshow is selling this statue in two versions, the standard edition
with the menacing eyes, and an exclusive version that comes with a
second head that mimics his original cartoon look.
2015 will likely be the year I remember for falling in love with Star Wars again (The Force Awakens and the future of the franchise are my latest obsessions), but it was also a hell of a year for video games – a year filled with variety and a number of gargantuan hits. Despite December mostly being dedicated to Star Wars book reading and seeing the films again, I felt like I played most of the big hits this year, and found time to explore a number of games I normally wouldn't get to.

Collecting Lego minifigures can be expensive, especially if you're in the market for Marvel, DC, or Star Wars characters. All too often, the only way to get a popular character is to buy an expensive set. In the last few years, Lego has eased up on the pocket book a tad with smaller sets containing a couple of minifigures, and the occasional standalone figure in a bag. A new line of sets releasing in 2016 called Mighty Micros offers two noteworthy figures in each box for just $9.99. The first wave includes sets with Captain America and Red Skull, Hulk and Ultron, Spider-Man and Green Goblin, Flash and Captain Cold, Batman and Catwoman, and Robin and Bane. The Mighty Micros wave should be hitting stores in January.
A new wave of Lego sets offers two significant characters in each box for a surprisingly low cost.
People standing in line waiting for Star Wars Celebration's doors to open have plenty to look at. A Hot Wheels exhibit next to the line is a showcase of fan-made Star Wars vehicles. I talked with one of the car's owners, and it sounds like all of these rides are street legal, and driven frequently. Some of them even have astromech droids.
Why would you want a trunk when you can have an astromech droid instead?
When I was a kid, I always thought I would grow up to be a comic book artist or writer. From the moment I fell in love with the comic book medium, I had my own stories to tell. Some of my earliest work – which my parents still have tucked away in boxes under their stairs – focused on monsters and robots, strange stories that showed my admiration for science fiction.
Spoiler warning: If you haven't watch the trailer, you won't want to look at these fan-made shirts.
I probably shouldn't put such a strong focus on the act of finishing games, and should instead just focus on playing the games I want, for how long I want, but I'm addicted to the process, the drive, and the feeling of satisfaction that comes from adding another game to the list. Each year, I keep a running list of the games I complete, which includes a section for games I started but haven't finished, and another for games I need to play.
Hearthstone and Dragon Age hurt my efforts to finish as many games as I could in 2014.
When I flip through Game Informer's old issues, I often find myself thinking "I can't believe we did that," and "We could never write that today." One such example is buried on the last page of the August 2002 issue. The item of note is "The Gummi Crunch," a food concoction that blends two distinct flavors and textures.
A food prank led to a flood of hate mail.
Another year brings another list. If all goes as planned, I'll update this blog frequently, and won't finish until the new year arrives. The purpose of this document is twofold. First and foremost, I'm using it to chronicle all of the games I enjoy playing over the course of this year. The list I created last year helped me keep track of the games I still needed to get my hands on, and also reminded me what games I needed to bring up for Game Informer's Game of the Year voting.
The Walking Dead: Season 2, Skylanders: Trap Team, and Destiny join my growing list.

Deep Run graduate named Big Ten Golfer of the Week
Citizen Staff Reports 10/18/12
University of Michigan freshman golfer Chris O'Neill, a Deep Run High School graduate, was named the Big Ten conference Golfer of the Week Oct. 17, following his career-best performance at the Alister MacKenzie Invitational Oct. 15-16. It is the first conference accolade of his career.
O'Neill, who tied for 14th individually at the MacKenzie Invitational, recorded his second top-20 and lowered his career-best 54-hole tournament total by eight shots with his three-under 210. He bettered the 218 he posted earlier this season at the Windon Memorial Classic, held Sept. 23-24.
En route to the career-best tally, he carded a career-best two-under 69 in the first round, following with a one-under 70 in the second and an even-par 71 in the third. All three of his rounds at the MacKenzie Invitational topped his previous career-best round total of 72 shot in the first and second rounds of the Windon Memorial Classic.
Overall, O'Neill's three-under 210 is the lowest 54-hole event total by a freshman since Joey Garber posted a four-under 209 in the 2011 NCAA Central Regional -- a span of 16 tournaments.

Answers to your questions about gardening, energy, homesteading and other sustainable living topics.
By Troy Griepentrog
straw bale, natural materials
How long do straw insulated houses actually last before you have to replace the straw? What is the threat of mold, fungus, insects and other pests?
Lynnette Dornak
Lawrence, Kansas
There are two options for insulating houses with straw. The straw is the primary structural material in some straw-bale homes — it actually holds up the roof. More commonly, post-and-beam or timber-frame construction forms the skeleton of the building, but straw is used to fill and insulate the space between wooden posts.
With either system, the straw must stay dry and is enclosed with some kind of plaster to protect it from insects and moisture, which would allow mold or fungus to develop. Other techniques to keep water from wicking from a concrete foundation into the straw are also necessary. If the straw gets wet and stays wet, it turns to compost. But if you keep the straw dry, it won't need to be replaced for the life of the building, which should last much longer than a human lifetime if built correctly.
You may, however, need to repair the plaster. The frequency of plaster repairs depends on your climate and the type of plaster you choose. For more detailed advice on building with straw, read Expert Advice on Straw Bale Building and Our Dream Green Home in our online archive. If you're looking for specifics on choosing the right plaster, check out Perfect Plaster and Get Muddy! Make Earth Art.

WordPress version: 3.4
WordPress SEO version: 1.2.3
I did this: In the admin backend on the Posts/All Posts option, the total number of posts with ALL SEO Scores doesn't agree to the summation of each of the SEO score categories.
I expected the plugin to do this:
I have 1,014 published posts when i select the drop down ALL SEO Scores
All SEO scores 1,014 (Agreed to no of published posts)
SEO: Post NoIndexed = 0
SEO: Good = 161
SEO: Poor = 44
SEO: Bad = 46
SEO: No Focus Keyword = 158
So a total of 609 posts are listed out of a total of 1,014. Where are the other 405?
Am I missing something obvious.
BTW the latest upgrade really helps make it clear when things need to be adjusted. Would be great if I could go back and review all historical posts.

Hello everyone:
After having my daughter in December 2011, we have been TTC #2 since August. In October I had an early miscarriage (5.5 weeks), and this month I had a cp. We didn't try the cycle in between - which means both months that we TTC, we got pregnant but the baby didn't stick. Both times I only had faint positives that never seemed to get very dark (whereas with my daughter, I had a dark BFP on 12 DPO).
I just turned 38 earlier this month so I don't want to wait too long before I make an appointment with a doctor about this. However, I'm not sure who I see? I have an OBGYN who delivered DD, and I also have an Internal Medicine doctor who sees me for my thryoid issues (I am hypo). Also - since I've only had 1 mc and 1 cp, do you think they will see me for fertility issues now?
Finally, I am concerned about my thyroid .... I have always been well stabilized on my meds, but right now I cannot seem to find a level that makes me feel well - .125 Levothyroxine is not enough but .137 Levothyroxine makes me feel too jittery. Could this be my problem? I can't believe such a small difference in levels could make me feel so terrible.
I'm sorry this post is long and all over the place, but I am so disappointed today (AF started yesterday) and I am scared we will never have another baby, which I want so terribly bad. If you've made it this far, thanks so much for reading this. Any thoughts you have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks ladies!

San Diego - military housing, rent or buy?
Comments (8)
We rented for a year. We are a family of 3 and it didn't make sense to use all of our BAH when we could rent, get more room, and save a little bit each month. However, with such a large family, it might be smarter to go with base housing.
After renting, we purchased a home. But we plan on trying to stay here as long as we can, possibly even retiring here or keeping the house as a rental property. If you have no interest in staying in the area, I don't think buying would be a good move.
I've been following the market for about 2 years now and it seems like there is a lot less available right now and it's all priced a little higher than it was. But, with prime moving season coming up, more might become available soon.
This post needs a poll!

Dash 2- July 2013
Dash 3 crashing formation August 2016
What areas would be nice to live in that's closish to Coronado, safe neighborhood and close to different things (shopping, grocery, restaurants, things to do and etc)?
Marine Wife '05
I trust my kids immune systems more than I do vaccines.
Rent or stay in housing, for sure. Real estate in SD is insanely expensive.
I lived in Village at Sera Mesa and liked it. A friend still lives in Murphy Canyon (Aero Ridge, to be precise) and she said she likes it so much more than VSM where she lived before.
There are usually 4 br homes on the hot sheet.
We rented in Chula Vista for a while, but I found that I couldn't find a house that was in a neighborhood I'd choose to live in, one I could afford, and one that would fit our things, and still have money left over to pay utilities (when we moved there, BAH was just shy of $2,000 for E6 and our rent was $1800, but our utilities and insurance were almost $400 each month, but that was about the best we could find at the time). Perhaps it was just the time I was looking, IDK.
I really loved living in housing - I made some amazing friends and wouldn't trade that time for anything. Sure, there are some drama llamas and some high school tendancies sometimes, but it's all in who you choose to be friends with.
You shouldn't have to pay extra for your utilities in housing, even with the new program, as long as you're not sitting around with your AC on and windows wide open or have fish tanks or reptiles, etc, that require copious amounts of electricity.
There should only be a charge if you go over the allotted amount. EFM's are eligible for a waiver if they have medical needs requiring edditional energy consumption.
The above mentioned energy program sounds like something they always had or at least in housing at Camp Pen. We had a small apartment and had extra things running and were never charged more. We had a small/med size deep freeze and I was ALWAYS doing laundry we also had a couple fans and an air filter purifier thing constantly going... no extra charge.
DH has said if we were ever back in the SD area he wants to rent. Base has its perks but there are drawbacks too. The only reason I would really consider base housing is knowing there would most likely be kids for my son to play with in the neighborhood.

What should I tell her?
Over a year ago
I had picked my niece up from school today and so as any good aunt I helped her with her home work then allowed her to watch some movies through netflix instantly.
Well first she picked 'The Fox and The Hound' and so of course she asked me why the was shooting at Todd and why Cheif was training Copper to hunt Todd.
Then she picked 'Dumbo' and so of course she saw how the movie was treating animals badly and pointed out in the niece when Mrs. Jumbo is protecting Dumbo from the people that one of the circus hands had a 'pointed stick' which then I notice is a 'Bull Hook' in a kid movie!
So when I take my little niece home at once my sister begans to yell at me as to why I let her five year old daughter watch such harsh movies that they were not meant to be watched by kids.
So what should I tell my niece?

Keep telling your niece the truth. If she's not going to hear it from her mum then she needs to hear it from somewhere. And if your sister doesn't like it then I guess she'll stop asking you to baby-sit!You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Your sister must not know those are movies made for children,I watched them when I was very young and now my nieces and nephews do as well. I really do not see anything wrong with your niece watching them,if she asks you about why certain things are happening in the movie such as abuse maybe you should explain it to her in a way she would understand. I think its good to educate young children about animal cruelty,just don't do it harshly in a way that would frighten her. Either way I hope things work out between you and your sister,have a nice day. 🙂You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

It is just so silly to think she was screaming and yelling at me for allowing my niece to watch a kid movie…. I mean out of all the things in the world she yells and screams about this matter.
There is no blood or death in those movies but yet to her it is a crime.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
Over a year ago
No offense…but, your sister is ridiculous. Those ARE kid's movies; They're classics. This is all really up to you though, since I'm sure your sister is going to have a problem with you telling her daughter that there are a lot of evil humans in the world who mistreat and torture animals. However, if it were me, I'd tell her. She's obviously interested in the subject and like most children would never want to hurt an animal, so fill her in a little. Also, I'm not sure what age group petakids.com is for, but maybe that'd be a good idea as well. Hope I helped and everything goes well. (:You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

I am 29 years old I have been taking Levora for two months now. I experience the occasional nausea and headaches but nothing too serious. My period is lighter than normal but over all I'm happy with the medication. I would suggest for younger patients to try a birth control with lower dosage of hormones. I hope that everything will continue to go well!

WP SEO adds a column called "Robots Meta" to the columnar Page and Post displays in WP admin. In my case, they all say "Index, Follow" and frankly I have some custom fields I'd rather be able to see at a glance.
I couldn't find a way to turn this off in the settings. Studying the code, I figured out that I can remove the column filters by adding these lines to my functions.php file:
// remove annoying "Robots Meta" columns that WP SEO puts in
remove_filter( 'manage_page_posts_columns',array($wpseo_metabox,'page_title_column_heading'), 10, 1 );
remove_filter( 'manage_post_posts_columns',array($wpseo_metabox,'page_title_column_heading'), 10, 1 );
remove_action( 'manage_pages_custom_column',array($wpseo_metabox,'page_title_column_content'), 10, 2 );
remove_action( 'manage_posts_custom_column',array($wpseo_metabox,'page_title_column_content'), 10, 2 );
Hope this can help someone else, and if anyone can tell me an easier way to turn off this "feature," I'd like to hear it!

Toulon, who were aiming for a Heineken Cup-Top 14 double, lacked creativity, and Jonny Wilkinson's nine points were not enough as South African scrumhalf Rory Kockott scored a try and kicked eight points and Remi Tales added two late drop goals for Castres.
Delon Armitage scored a consolation try for Toulon.
"I can't find the words. It was David against Goliath today," Kockott told France 2 television, praising Castres' team spirit.
"We are a team in which there is no star, noboby is better than the others," he added.
Wilkinson and Kockott traded penalties early on in an uninspiring first half.
The only spark came when Kockott caught Toulon's defence off guard as he scooted between the posts before converting the try himself to give Castres a seven-point lead on the stroke of halftime.
Wilkinson kept Toulon in the match with two more penalties but would have been ruing his misfortune after watching two of his attempts hit the posts.
Tales's 72nd-minute drop goal pushed Castres four points clear and there was more breathing space when he repeated the dose under pressure just minutes later.
Kockott put the result beyond doubt with a 40-metre penalty with time almost up.
"It's hard to take in, we did not play the way we wanted," England's 2003 World Cup winner Wilkinson said of Toulon's performance.
"We need to keep the same spirit next year and learn from the lessons from today. We were not good enough to win."
