To show you how to deal with common challenges when implementing IBM® WebSphere® MQ based solutions at small and medium businesses (SMBs), this article uses the common scenario of a single head office and multiple branch offices or stores, each one with its own WebSphere MQ server. For many SMBs, investment in back-end infrastructure may be constrained, and therefore you face challenges of network downtime or slow connectivity. But before delving into the challenges of such an environment, consider the characteristics of a robust or ideal environment for WebSphere MQ:
- VPN infrastructure
- Static IP addresses
- Single ISP
- High-bandwidth network speed
- Monitoring tools such as IBM Tivoli® OMEGAMON for XE Messaging
- Recommended hardware configurations
As mentioned, two of the most common network challenges at an SMB are:
- Internet connectivity breakdowns -- SMBs who do not invest in a dish-based wireless Internet connection will generally opt for multiple connections from different service providers with static IP addresses. When there is a breakdown in one of the connections, the SMB switches (sometimes manually) to another service provider.
- Slow communication between head office and stores -- For this issue, an SMB often optimizes applications to send minimal data to branch servers and defers additional communications to overnight or other low-usage periods. This arrangement may require significant application customization.
The rest of the article describes the following sub-optimal conditions and how to address the related problems, as well as how to use the WebSphere MQ Performance Monitor (SupportPac MP08).
- Dynamic IP addresses
- Multiple ISPs
- Low-bandwidth speeds between head office and stores
Configuring WebSphere MQ between two remote servers
Dynamic IP address at receiver end
Consider a typical interqueue communication scenario between two WebSphere MQ servers, one at a central office and one at a store, with a sender-receiver channel:
Interqueue communication
In this scenario, the queue manager HQ.QM sends a message to the queue manager STORE.QM. The queue manager HQ.QM has the following WebSphere MQ objects:
- REMOTEQ (remote queue)
- TRANSQ (transmission queue)
- HQ.STORE.CNL (sender channel from HQ.QM to STORE.QM)
Similarly, the queue manager STORE.QM has the following WebSphere MQ objects:
- LOCALQ (local queue)
- HQ.STORE.CNL (receiver channel from HQ.QM to STORE.QM)
The mqsc commands to configure this setup are shown below (1414 is the listener port number):
Sender channel definition
define channel (HQ.STORE.CNL) chltype(SDR) + conname('192.168.1.2(1414)') + xmitq(TRANSQ)
Receiver channel definition
define channel (HQ.STORE.CNL) chltype(rcvr)
If the receiver (store server in our case) has a dynamic IP address assigned to it, it is virtually impossible for the sender system to communicate with the receiver system, and the sender channel will remain in retry mode -- a common issue with SMBs.
Sender channel unable to communicate
You can resolve this issue by making the receiving system initiate the communication, which you do in WebSphere MQ by using the requester-server channel:
Requester-server channel
In case of a requester-server channel, the receiving system (store server) initiates the connection. Once the initiation is successful, the message flows from head office server to store server. The queue manager HQ.QM has the following WebSphere MQ objects:
- REMOTEQ (remote queue)
- TRANSQ (transmission queue)
- HQ.STORE.CNL (server channel)
Similarly, the queue manager QM2 has the following WebSphere MQ objects:
- LOCALQ (local queue)
- HQ.STORE.CNL (requester channel)
Here are the mqsc commands to create this configuration:
Server channel definition
define channel (HQ.STORE.CNL) chltype(SVR) + xmitq(TRANSQ)
Requester channel definition
define channel (HQ.STORE.CNL) chltype(RQSTR) + conname('192.168.1.1(1414)')
There is a major difference in function between a sender-receiver channel pair and a requester-server channel -- for more information, see the WebSphere MQ V7 information center.
Multiple ISPs at the head office
The above scenario involving a requester-server channel works fine as long as the IP address of the sender system (192.168.1.1) is unchanged. But what if the sender system has multiple ISPs and one goes down, and the system switches over to another ISP. In that case, even if the sender side has a static IP address, each ISP would assigning an IP address from a different domain. Once again the requester channel will be unable to initiate the request to the server channel, and would go into retry mode because the IP address of the HQ Server system would have changed.
Requester channel for changed IP address
You can solve this problem by providing multiple IP addresses and the port number in the CONNAME, which is a new feature of WebSphere MQ V7 Refresh 1 (WebSphere MQ V7.0.1). The channel definition for the server channel remains the same:
Server channel definition
define channel (HQ.STORE.CNL) chltype(SVR) + xmitq(TRANSQ)
However, the channel definition for the requester channel gets modified to:
Requester channel definition
define channel (HQ.STORE.CNL) chltype(RQSTR) + conname('192.168.0.1(1414),192.168.0.3(1414)')
Thus, even if there are multiple ISPs serving the sender side, you can add them, separated by commas, to the CONNAME settings of the requester channel:
Multiple ISPs at the sender side
In this configuration, all of the IP addresses will be attempted in a round-robin manner. As soon as the requester channel makes a connection with the server channel, it goes in a binding state and eventually into running mode.
Low bandwidth speed
By default, WebSphere MQ allows messages up to 4 MB long to be posted to a queue, and you can increase this limit up to 100MB without using segmentation. Also by default WebSphere MQ allows up to 5000 messages, and again you can increase this limit. Suppose 300 4MB messages are sent over a network with a broadband speed of 1 Mbps. Transmission would take approximately 9600 seconds or about 2 hours and 40 minutes. Time increases drastically as bandwidth speed falls: if bandwidth speed falls to 256 Kbps, transmission time increases to 10 hours 40 minutes.
Such situations make channel-level compression very valuable. It does not involve many configuration changes, and greatly increases the transfer speed. Consider a compression ratio of 95% (which is feasible if the WebSphere MQ message is in ASCII text). In that case, a 4 MB message is compressed to 200 KB, and the above transfer of 300 4MB messages would require only about 8 minutes at 1 Mbps and 32 minutes at 256 kbps.
To implement compression, you must apply the same compression algorithm to the sender, the receiver or requester, and the server channel, which you can do using either WebSphere MQ Explorer or runmqsc scripts:
Compression using WebSphere MQ Explorer
By default, channels do not have any compression algorithm enabled, as shown below:
Modifying channel properties for compression
To enable compression, click the Edit button next to Message Compression, which opens a drop-down that shows various compression algorithms:
Multiple compression algorithms supported
- RLE -- Run-length encoding compression. If the same data value occurs in a contiguous block, that block is replaced by a number that denotes the runs and the data.
- ZLIBFAST -- Faster compression algorithm
- ZLIBHIGH -- Higher ratio of compression
- ANY -- Any of the above three algorithms can be used
You can also select multiple compression algorithms, which are tried in order of preference. The same compression algorithm must be used at the other end.
Order of preference for compression
Compression using runmqsc scripts
You can achieve the same result using runmqsc. The following runmqsc scripts modify the channel definitions for the requester and server channel:
Requester channel definition
alter channel(HQ.STORE.CNL) + chltype(RQSTR) + COMPMSG(ZLIBFAST,ZLIBHIGH,RLE,NONE)
Server channel definition
alter channel(HQ.STORE.CNL) + chltype(RQSTR) + COMPMSG(ZLIBFAST,ZLIBHIGH,RLE,NONE)
Although the requester channel allows all compression algorithms (ZLIBHIGH, ZLIBFAST, RLE, ANY, and NONE), the server channel does not allow ALL.
Monitoring tools
This section shows you how to use WebSphere MQ Performance Monitor (WebSphere MQ SupportPac MP08).
Installation and configuration
- Download WebSphere MQ Performance Monitor.
- Install and configure WebSphere MQ Performance Monitor by following the instructions in the WebSphere MQ Performance Monitor documentation.
The WebSphere MQ Performance Monitor lets you collect and analyze performance data for queues, channels, and MQI calls for queue managers. System administrators can use WebSphere MQ Explorer itself to monitor the system status of WebSphere MQ for short periods.
The WebSphere MQ Performance Monitor contains the following two components:
- Performance Monitor Agent for WebSphere MQ for Windows -- Install this component on the HO Queue manager server. It gets the queue manager data from the WebSphere MQ server and sends it across to the Performance Monitoring plug-in. If there are multiple queue managers on the HO server, then each queue manager needs to have the agent running, which means that once this component is installed, it needs to be configured for each queue manager that you want to monitor.
- Performance Monitor Plug-in for WebSphere MQ for Windows and Linux -- This component gets the data from the monitoring agent and displays in graphical format for short-term trend analysis. This plug-in is installed on the server where WebSphere MQ Explorer resides.
The WebSphere MQ Performance Monitor provides short-term trend analysis in WebSphere MQ Explorer for:
- Recent application accounting (for queue managers)
- Recent MQI statistics (for queue managers)
- Recent queue statistics (for queues)
- Recent queue accounting (for queues)
- Recent MQI queue statistics (for queues)
- Recent channel performance (for channels)
- Recent MQI channel statistics (for channels)
For more details about these plug-ins and agents, see the WebSphere MQ Performance Monitor documentation.
Listed below are some snapshots of the analysis performed by the plug-in:
Channel-level monitoring
Channel-level monitoring provides a graphical representation of various attributes, such as bytes and buffers sent and received, transmission speed, and short-term and long-term compression rates for various time intervals.
Channel level monitoring
Queue level monitoring
Queue-level monitoring provides a graphical representation of various frequency attributes, such as open rate, close rate, get byte rate, put byte rate, and browse rate, for any given time interval:
Queue-level monitoring 1
Queue-level monitoring also provides attributes such as current depth, highest depth, messages put, messages read, and messages browsed:
Queue-level monitoring 2
This article described some common scenarios when using WebSphere MQ in SMB environments, and discussed the issues of dynamic IP addresses at the destination end, multiple ISPs, and low bandwidth. The article also explained some troubleshooting techniques for SMB environments, and showed you how to do monitoring using the WebSphere MQ Performance Monitor.

The study of language has been a central activity across many disciplines, including psychology, linguistics, computer science, and cognitive neuroscience. However, to date there has been surprisingly little cross-disciplinary research integrating the powerful analytical tools of computational linguistics into the study of how language is processed in the human brain. In this project, you will contribute to the emerging field of computational neurolinguistics, by developing quantitative measures of specific aspects of sentence processing, and then evaluating these measures against state-of-the-art neuroimaging data.
Understanding a spoken sentence has several different processing components, involving different regions of the brain. The incoming speech must be acoustically and phonetically processed, and lexical information for each word must be activated and integrated through syntactic computations to produce a final representation of the utterance. Moreover, because the speech signal unfolds over time, temporary ambiguities arise where multiple candidate syntactic representations are consistent with the currently available input, and these ambiguities must be subsequently resolved for successful understanding. For example, the phrase ,landing planes is locally syntactically ambiguous; it could be a noun phrase in which landing modifies planes (e.g. the full sentence might be landing planes are noisy) or it could be a gerundive clause, where planes is the object of landing (e.g. landing planes is difficult). Lexicalist accounts of sentence processing propose that lexico-syntactic knowledge associated with each word guides activation of candidate parses and is therefore influential in the ambiguity resolution process (Tyler and Marslen-Wilson, 1977; Marslen-Wilson et al., 1988; MacDonald et al., 1994). Such proposals are also supported by recent neuroimaging evidence (e.g. Shetreet et al., 2007; Tyler et al., 2013).
One important kind of lexico-syntactic knowledge is knowledge of selectional preference, the phenomenon by which verbs and other linguitic predicates are more likely to take certain semantic classes as arguments than others. For example, the direct object of drink is more likely to be a liquid than a human, but the subject of drink is more likely to be a human than a beverage. In this project, you will investigate how models of verb selectional preferences can be used to make predictions about the parsing preferences people that have when they hear locally ambiguous phrases. A variety of such models have been proposed in the NLP literature (e.g., Ó Séaghdha 2010, Ó Séaghdha and Korhonen, 2012) and the project will involve evaluating a representative selection. Does knowledge of selectional preferences create expectations regarding how phrases such as "landing planes" get disambiguated, and can we determine the neural correlates of such expectations in the brain? The explanatory power of the model you develop will be evaluated against high-temporal-resolution neuroimaging data acquired as human subjects listened to spoken sentences (Tyler et al 2013).

Abstraction is everywhere in semantics. To illustrate, consider the following examples:
(1) That man's hat is too small for his head.
(2) The CEO is the head of the company.
The second sense of head is related to the first - the CEO controls the company in the way that the head controls the body, and the position of CEO in an organisation chart is at the top, just like a human head. This analysis tells us that the first sense is the primary, original sense and that the second sense is an abstraction of the first, which emerged over time as head became a well-understood concept in the community.
Few if any approaches to the related tasks of word-sense-disambiguation (WSD) and word-sense-induction (WSI) consider that word senses are intimately connected with this process of abstraction. However, it is not hard to imagine how an automated system might disambiguate the senses in (1) and (2) by detecting that the second instance is more abstract that the first. One obvious approach would be to consider the context - in the first sentence the other noun hat is clearly concrete, whereas in the second, company is a more abstract noun.
In this project, the student will exploit a newly released dataset containing concreteness ratings for 40,000 words in order to investigate how concreteness relates to word senses. A simple starting point would be to re-implement a state of the art word WSD or WSI system and then aim to improve it by integrating sensitivity to the concreteness of the context.
Depending on the student's interest, such a system could also then be applied to interesting analyses of language on the internet and across social media platforms. For example, the student could investigate how abstraction in language correlates with education level, age or the political affiliation of the speaker.

Text mining has the potential to yield significant benefits in biomedical research. Among the most appealing ones are the ability to unlock hidden information in large collections of scientific literature, to develop new knowledge, and to improve the efficiency and quality of research process. However, a number of research challenges need to be addressed before these benefits can be fully realised. One of the most important challenges is to improve the portability of text mining. Because biomedicine shows significant sub-domain variation (Lippincott et al., 2011), techniques optimised for specific areas of biomedicine (e.g. molecular biology) do not necessarily port well to others (e.g. public health, neurology, physiology). Most current techniques rely on manually annotated, domain-specific datasets which are costly to obtain. Researchers have therefore begun to investigate the use of domain adaptation which uses labeled data from one (or several) source domains to learn a hypothesis performing well on a different domain for which no (or only little) labeled data is available (Blizer and Haume, 2010). Although some prior work exists in domain adaptation of biomedical text processing and mining (e.g. Miwa et al., 2012), there are many unexplored areas. This project will investigate domain adaptation in one of these areas, for example:
This project would suit a student who is interested in machine learning and in applying NLP to biomedicine. Familiarity with machine learning toolkits such as Weka and Mallet would be useful (but is not necessary). Programming language of choice.

Oulahen just shook his head and smiled. He was glad to be back.
Oulahen participated in his first full practice with the Griffins since dislocating a hip when he took a hit in a March 27, 2009, game against Norfolk.
For the past month, he skated during the first 10 to 20 minutes of practice, when players generally just warm up and stretch, before departing for treatment and off-ice work. But this was his first taste of a full workload in almost a year.
"Felt good. First time today going the full distance," Oulahen said. "It was good to be out with the guys, sweating."
There's no specific timetable for his return to game action.
Oulahen said he's not 100 percent, and he still feels occasional soreness in his hip.
But he also said he has made significant progress in the past two weeks.
"It's kind of a wait-and-see type of thing right now. I don't want to put any timelines on it, we kind of take it week by week and see how I progress," Oulahen said. "But hopefully, it's sooner rather than later."
The Griffins are ready to welcome Oulahen back with open arms.
Position: Left wing
Age: 24
Hometown: Newmarket, Ontario
Size: 6-foot, 195 pounds
Last season: 19 goals, 12 assists in 73 games
Drafted: 164th overall by Detroit in 2003 NHL draft
Before the injury, Grand Rapids coach Curt Fraser said Oulahen was on the cusp of receiving his first recall by the Red Wings.
"Our penalty killing was at the top last year because of Ryan Oulahen, our defensive play was pretty good because of Ryan Oulahen, and our leadership in the locker room, a lot of it was Ryan," Fraser said. "He's a very important piece for us."
For now, Oulahen is concentrating on getting back into game shape. He didn't even take a solid hit along the boards in practice.
""They don't want to be the one to set me back even farther," Oulahen said, smiling. "It was pretty tame out there."
Oulahen was on crutches for eight weeks immediately following the injury. Two and a half months later, he suffered a setback that required surgery, then had another procedure in early September.
In all, he wasn't able to work out for almost five months.
Since then, though, he has hit the weight room and said he now is in the best shape of his life. When the Griffins were out of town for a recent four-game road trip, he spent hours skating alone at Griff's IceHouse.
Oulahen said it has been a difficult road to recovery, and both the Griffins and Red Wings have encouraged him not to rush things and possibly jeopardize his career.
But that hasn't made it any easier.
"Hockey is my life," Oulahen said. "It's my job, and not being able to do that, you want to get back as soon as you can."
Soon enough, he'll be able to rejoin his teammates on the ice.
Oulahen said he was lucky enough to chat with Red Wings defenseman Andreas Lilja, who recently ended a four-game conditioning stint with the Griffins after missing 11 months because of a concussion.
"I asked him, 'What was it like after not playing for a year, that first game?' He said it was no big deal, it's like you've been playing all along," Oulahen said. "I think that's kind of how it's going to be. I've been playing hockey since I was 4 years old. It's going to be fun for sure."

Memorable, fun, keyword-rich, generic or geo, these are some of our favorite domain names that are awaiting a new home.
Considering a new domain?
This infographic details some of the key aspects you should know before investing in a domain name.
Great for lead generation & more.
State by state here are some of our geographically targeted real estate domains. If you are in the real estate industry and work in or around any of these cities, these domains are for you.
...of a newly purchased premium domain.
Quickly put that new domain name to good use with some of the methods described in this infographic.
& keep the blunders to a minimum.
Purchasing a premium domain doesn't have to be difficult or time consuming. Make sure your business gets off on the right foot with these tips.

I can't thank Fat City Properties enough for all of their support and I am recommending them to anyone and everyone I can. They will definitely be our go to company for all of our domain name needs." Jason Watson Owner BoxerApparel.com

GEESEYTOWN - The latest plans to improve a section of Route 22 near Canoe Creek State Park show two reconstructed intersections with turning lanes and a new intersection for access to Flowing Springs Road.
The changes are proposed as safety improvements for motorists traveling the one-mile stretch east of Geeseytown, PennDOT representatives said Wednesday night while displaying the plans at the Geeseytown Fire Hall. Construction costs are estimated at $8 million, they said.
"This project was identified in the late 1980s, and it's been through multiple designs," PennDOT project manager Allen Melley said. "But this is the most current, and we're fully funded to go."

PennDOT portfolio manager James Pruss P.E. (left) explains plans for the Canoe Creek Intersection Improvement Project to Frankstown Township property owner Stew Merritts at the Geeseytown Fire Hall on Wednesday evening.
Plans show the creation of a four-way intersection at Turkey Valley Road, the access route to Canoe Creek State Park, by relocating a portion of nearby Juniata Valley Road. Turn lanes proposed for the wider Route 22 will allow room for motorists slowing down to make a turn onto either road, Melley said.
The portion of the project also calls for replacing the nearby Route 22 bridge that spans Canoe Creek.
The second reconstructed intersection, also with turning lanes, calls for moving a short section of Beaverdam Road so it creates a T-intersection with Route 22.
In addition, plans show an additional T-intersection on Route 22 that motorists can use to access Flowing Springs Road. The existing entrance of Route 22 to Flowing Springs Road will be eliminated.
"I think this will enhance the safety of our region," said Bob Yeager of Canoe Creek who owns property near the Route 22 and Turkey Valley Road intersection.
"We've never had turning lanes there," Yeager said. "I've probably seen 20 to 25 accidents outside my house, including one where a person was killed."
A schedule showed the project will remain in final design through fall, with construction scheduled in 2016 and 2017.
In 2015, right-of-ways and settlements will need to be arranged with 31 property owners affected by the project, including five who will need to move. Letters were sent to all those affected so they were aware of Wednesday's open house, Melley said.
Stew Merritts of Williamsburg, who owns 1.5 acres near Canoe Creek, said he remains concerned about how the project is designed and how it will affect access to the ground that's been in his family for years. He said he plans to talk about his options with PennDOT.
Melley and Vince Greenland, PennDOT assistant district executive, said the current design, unlike an earlier design, includes no dedicated route for Lower Trail users to access Canoe Creek State Park. Both said that PennDOT is working with Rails to Trails of Central Pennsylvania, Canoe Creek State Park and related organizations interested in that option.
The earlier proposal, Greenland said, included a plan to raise the grade of Route 22 so a trail route could be created beneath the road. But that idea was proposed for an area identified as a main crossing route for the endangered Indiana bat, Greenland said.
The current improvement plans, according to Melley and Greenland, are expected to have no impact on the bats.

You've always had a place to watch, now you have a place to ROOT!
The rankings started back up today. They are at 135 and still not a Jazzman. Fingers crossed!
Cy is a Baker, he doesn't work fast food. Don't make that mistake, he doesn't like it.
I'm thinking Mo Williams will be the next Jazzman, followed by Hayward and Favors. I'm thinking Jefferson will be slightly ahead of Millsap.
i am still waiting to start seeing some utah players.... i am getting rather stoked to see what 100 random people think about our players..
Silence is golden, and gold is up these days, so silence is a solid investment.
― Jarod Kintz
check out the jazzbros.com blog for more on the jazz.
Mo Williams is # 125.
My predicted order for the remaing Jazz players is Hayward, Favors, Millsap, and Jefferson. I'm not even going to guess what ranks they'll have.
Hayward, 123!

Adopting Enterprise Open Source Software
Nagios sent me a reminder yesterday, which I finally got around to reading today, to update to the latest version of Nagios Core, 3.2.2. We were running 3.2.0, so we were a couple versions behind, so after browsing through the list of fixed bugs I thought it would be good to go ahead and upgrade. I had a meeting in fifteen minutes, and Nagios was actively monitoring servers in production. I considered for a moment waiting till after the meeting. After all, what if something went wrong during the upgrade, what if there was some unforeseen problem that caused disastrous results and caused me to miss the meeting? And then I remembered, this is Nagios. I did the upgrade, and made the meeting in time to get a cup of coffee on the way. This is how upgrades should work for everything.

After reading this article, I still don't understand how the pilot "landed" in the water several miles short of the runway when the radio altimeter still showed 200ft AGL. Someone suggested that both altimeters failed. But when I read the NTSB report, it blamed the "Un(der)qualified" crew instead. Anyone know what's going on here?
Capt. Asoh said that he was making a coupled approach, but because of problems with his pressure altimeter, he was relying on the more accurate radio altimeter for verification of altitude. Capt. Asoh set the radio altimeter to give a light at a decision height of 211 ft (63.3 m). When the light blinked on ... he was nearly in the waters of San Francisco Bay - Richard Silagi
PROBABLE CAUSE: "The improper application of the prescribed procedures to execute an automatic-coupled ILS approach. This deviation from the prescribed procedures was, in part, due to a lack of familiarization and infrequent operation of the installed flight director and autopilot system." - NTSB AAR-70-02

Dear Writergirl,
I'm a big fan of female superheroes, Wonderwoman and Xena in particular. And now there's ... Writergirl! Cool. Do you have any special powers? Can you fly with your writing cape? Cast magic spells with your special book? Can you read invisible ink? Spell perfectly while writing backward? Whatever your powers, I'm already a big fan. Mysterious female superheroes are my weakness.
Dear Awestruck,
You do know how to start a girl off on the right foot. But let's not dwell on my awesomeness right off the bat. A wise writer like you already knows that to get too caught up in your specialness will get you in trouble. You have to save that moxy for when you really need it, Awestruck, and if you are the writer you aim to be, you already know that, too.
Before we get into the business of spells, capes, and disappearing ink, I've got a shoutout for Deb, who for the past year has occupied this corner of cyberspace. She begged for a break, and I swooped in to help. Because that's what I do, Awestruck. I help, which on the special-o-meter is way up at the top, right next to asking for help. We writers are a little overly shy about that, don't you think? We believe we must be clever and smart. Confident and charming, with words that flow with grace, power, ease, profound insight, and of course wit.
Except that we aren't, and they don't.
This is why you have a thing for mysterious female superheroes, Awestruck. I'm not here to get all weird and gendercentric on you, but Wonderwoman and Xena, they rock because they're oozing with passion, which our slight screwed-up culture allows to girls more than boys. Sure, your superheroes fight for justice and truth and all that, but you know what matters the most? They care.
Remember when you first decided you were going to be a writer? That nutso day when your world flipped itself inside out? Maybe it crashed over you like a tsunami. Maybe it was more of a slow, irritating drip. Either way, I'll bet at some point since then you've wished for a cape and a spell book, and while you were at it, a phone booth, not so much for your presto-change-o routine but for hiding out from the people who love you, people who would like to know why you couldn't have taken up something safer and more productive than writing, say scrapbooking, or fly fishing, or detonating explosives.
Like every one of us writers, you've surely wished for invisible ink, so that no one – not even, or maybe especially, you its creator – could see the god-awful crap you've written as you slog your way to the good stuff. I know I have. Not just for the horrible poem I wrote when I was sixteen, about the boy whose blue eyes I was desperate to describe, except that I was way too scared to actually look at them. I could use it for the chapter I wrote last week. The paragraph I wrote yesterday. The sentence I just rewrote for the twenty-eighth time.
If I told you it got easier, I wouldn't be much of a superhero, would I, sweetness? The work we do is hard, and the more we do it, the harder it gets. The ink stares you back in the face and the right words elude you and even when you punch the delete key like it's the bully who kicked your little Pekinese and you start all over, it's still not what you wanted, only an itsy bit better than the last twenty-eight tries. But that tiny improvement is a big, big deal, and you know how you got there? You cared.
This gig's inconsistent as hell, if you want the truth. And I can tell you do want the truth, Awestruck, because you've got questions, and that's where the truth gets its start.
You know what else is ultra-cool, darling? You've got a weakness, and you don't care who knows it. That's a fantastic thing in a writer, better by far – trust me on this - than a cape or a spell.
Truly yours,
Send your questions on writing, publishing, or anything else to Writergirl at firstname.lastname@example.com. Don't be shy – your identity won't be revealed. Writergirl logo by James Stugart.

Ozzie Guillen is managing the Miami Marlins in a long-overdue new stadium.
He says the majors' other Florida team should be playing in a new park, too.
Guillen said Friday that the Tampa Bay Rays have "earned" a replacement for Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg.
"If one team deserves a new ballpark, it's them, because I think fans will support it a little bit better and I think it'll be great for the city," Guillen said before the teams' interleague series opener at Marlins Park, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
Guillen, who played for the then-Devil Rays in 2000, joked that he'd even contribute "a couple million" toward the project.
Tampa Bay remains toward the bottom of MLB in attendance despite a run of excellence that's in its fifth year. Discussions about a new stadium in the Tampa-St. Pete area have gone nowhere. The Rays' lease with the city of St. Petersburg runs through 2027.

Rosacea Facials
Soothe away concerns about rosacea facials. Find out what exactly is in a rosacea facial and what you should be telling your spa therapist before you go.
What is a rosacea facial?
See spas offering Rosacea Facials
Facials for clients with rosacea are soothing services using products aimed at calming irritation and decreasing the appearance of redness associated with this skin condition. Facials for rosacea are designed to protect, correct, and boost the skin by strengthening delicate capillaries and evening skin tone.
Good to know:
Prior to reserving a spa appointment, clients should confirm that his or her aesthetician has had extensive experience treating those with rosacea. Products using ingredients such as alcohol, eucalyptus, fragrance, rosehip, menthol, peppermint, aloe, and witch hazel, which are known to irritate rosacea, should be avoided, according to a survey conducted by the National Rosacea Society. Facial massages, chemical peels, heat and steam services such as saunas, exfoliations, mud and clay masks, waxing, electrolysis, and hot towels applied to the face, may also trigger flare-ups.
However, a variety of spa services, including a calming back massage, are beneficial in relaxation and soothing emotional stress, which is among one of the top-ranking rosacea causes, according to the National Rosacea Society. Other ingredients used in spa treatments that can be soothing to the skin could include chamomile or green tea, arnica, cucumber, red algae, red clover, thyme, willow herb, zinc, oatmeal, and olive oil. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and laser treatments may also be recommended to help treat rosacea.
When You Go:
Clients should re-mention their facial rosacea to his or her aesthetician and massage therapist upon arrival at the spa. It also may be helpful to seek out spa therapists who have experience dealing with skin affected by rosacea for spa treatments. Daily skin care may also be recommended by a spa therapist or dermatologist. Some mineral makeup lines can actually help in the treatment of rosacea as well; be sure to ask if the spa can recommend certain cosmetic lines that may be helpful in targeting this condition.
SpaFinder is not a medical referral service and does not recommend or endorse any particular medical or wellness treatment, program or product. You should always seek the advice of a qualified medical or health service provider before proceeding with any medical, fitness, or wellness treatment, program or product.

A Warren man has been jailed on charges of distribution and possession of child pornography, state Attorney General Kathleen Kane announced Friday.
Michael Geer, 32, of 1 Harmony Place, was arraigned before Warren District Judge Glenn Carlson and charged with eight counts of distribution of child pornography, eight counts of possession of child pornography and one count of criminal use of a communication facility.
He was placed in Warren County Jail on $50,000 bond.
Geer was arrested Tuesday by agents from the Office of the Attorney General's Child Predator Section and Warren police following an online investigation into the distribution of child pornography.
A search of Geer's Warren residence resulted in the seizure of two computers, which contained more than 100 files of suspected child pornography, according to the affidavit of probable cause filed with the criminal charges against Geer.

State senator backs off Hitler-unions analogy
HARRISBURG -- A Republican state legislator from Pennsylvania is backing away from a comment he made comparing labor unions to Adolf Hitler.
Sen. Scott Wagner said Wednesday on the Senate floor that labor unions, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Hitler are about "power and control."
The senator wrote in a letter posted Friday on the York Daily Record/Sunday News website that he "used an unfortunate analogy" and has contacted union leaders to tell them that.
Wagner doesn't want public sector unions to have their dues collected by the government, and his comment came during a debate to end that practice.

More than three years after its closure, foreboding ''Do Not Enter'' signs now block the entrances to what was once the second-largest bridge system in Trumbull County.
Closed indefinitely in October 2009 by the Trumbull County Engineer's Office, the Olive Street Bridge now sits abandoned.
Meanwhile, businesses and residents have had to adjust to life without the 933-foot concrete arch joining Niles and McDonald over the Mahoning River.

Anthony Potts, a technician with Quality Alarm Service, works in the company's office on the Niles side of the bridge.
"The easiest way to tell customers how to get here now is to say, 'Go toward the closed bridge and that's our parking lot,'" Potts said.
The Olive Street Bridge was in such poor shape, county engineers took the drastic measure of closing it down, but it is hardly the only bridge in the area in need of repair.

A total of 47 bridges countywide have been deemed by the county engineers as ''structurally deficient.''
Each bridge in the county is given a general appraisal based on the ''deck,'' or surface; ''super,'' or upper portion of the bridge; and ''sub,'' or foundation. If any of these categories is given a rating of 4 or less, the bridge is marked structurally deficient.
A spotlight has been put on bridges across the country following the collapse of Interstate 5 highway bridge in northern Washington last month. The I-5 spans 60 miles north of Seattle.
Gary Shaffer, engineer with the Trumbull County Engineer's Office, said that while there are a number of structurally deficient bridges in Trumbull County, few pose an actual threat to travelers.
"It doesn't mean that the thing is going to collapse and it doesn't even necessarily mean that there are any major problems," Shaffer Thursday. "If you take a look, and the deck is a 4 but the rest of it is a 6, it's in fair condition. The deck is easy to repair and we could have that asphalt off tomorrow."
A large portion of Shaffer's job is gathering data on county bridges, conferring with colleagues and deciding which bridges are in most need of repair or replacement.
In 2011 and 2012, the county engineers conducted a load rating, testing all county bridges for weight allowances, traffic flow and general stability. Results from this test along with constant inspections inform the engineers' decisions.
Of the 47 bridges designated structurally deficient, eight of those were given a rating of 2 in its general appraisal. There are no bridges rated below a 2. Shaffer said the key to making sure these bridges don't pose a threat is to constantly monitor them and post weight limitations.
"We did just buy a bunch of scales and we're working with the sheriff's department," Shaffer said. "The people and the industries by these bridges continually report people running them."
If a bridge cannot handle at least three tons, it is closed until repaired or replaced.
"That's the limit," Shaffer said. "If you get below three tons, you have to close it."
Shaffer urged motorists to be aware of postings on bridges, many of which go over small creeks.
"I'm going to tell the public if a bridge is posted, please honor that road posting," Shaffer said. "Especially the truck drivers, delivery men, UPS, obey that because you do hasten the deterioration of the bridge when you take overweight loads over top of those bridges."
In the next year, the county engineers will replace three bridges in-house. These bridges are on Township Road 155-E in Howland, Township Road 157-A in Bazetta and Corinth Court Road in Gustavus.
While costs to replace a bridge may vary, Shaffer said the majority are in the neighborhood of $750,000 for the planning through the construction of a bridge between 30 and 40 feet. Once construction begins, it has an estimated completion time of 90 days.
"I'm not too popular at the fiscal meetings," Shaffer laughed. "I'm reaching into everybody's budget. But these fixes are important."
Trumbull County normally replaces approximately two bridges per year, officials said.
Still, a far larger project remains the Olive Street Bridge, but officials said they are finally to the point where a contract can be put in place for full replacement.
"That's one of the bridges right now that is considered a major concern and one we've been working on funding," Shaffer said.
According to Shaffer, with the help of Eastgate Regional Governments, a $6 million replacement project for Olive Street will go out to bid in December with a contract expected to be in place by Jan. 1, 2014. The money for the project will come from federal and state grants.
"We worked really hard with Eastgate Regional planning organization," Shaffer said. "It is going to be a full replacement. We're going to probably take if from its original 933-foot span to about 750 feet. So we're shortening it up."
To be sure, replacement of a large arch bridge can take several years, Shaffer said.
Jet Stream International is a manufacturing plant sitting on the Niles side of the Olive Street Bridge, the site of the former Michigan Hanger. Kalyn Sharrow, logistics coordinator for Jet Stream, said the replacement bridge will be a welcome relief for their shipping trucks.
"We do have shipments and that was a truck route," Sharrow said. "So now if we're sending people, we have to send them all the way down (state Route) 46 to McKees Lane and then back. That's a truck route as well, but it's not very easy for a semi truck. That turn alone from McKees onto Belmont (Avenue) is not easy."
Shaffer, who joined the engineers office four years ago, said he believes that county bridges in general are in pretty good shape.
"It takes a lot of effort from a lot of people," Shaffer said. "I think we're doing a good job with what we've got."

• Background and Design.—
In a pilot study of extracorporeal photochemotherapy, two patients with systemic sclerosis who received this therapy experienced significant clinical improvement. These results prompted the development of a multicenter trial to examine the benefit of extracorporeal photochemotherapy in the treatment of systemic sclerosis. Seventy-nine patients with systemic sclerosis of recent onset (mean symptom duration, 1.83 years) and progressive skin involvement during the preceding 6 months entered a randomized, parallel-group, single-blinded clinical trial comparing extracorporeal photochemotherapy treatments given on 2 consecutive days monthly with treatment with D-penicillamine at a maximum dose of 750 mg/d. Blinded clinical examiners evaluated skin severity score (thickness), percent surface area involvement, oral aperture, and hand closure. Serial skin biopsies and pulmonary function studies were also performed.
Following 6 months of treatment, significant improvement in skin severity score occurred in 21 (68%) of 31 patients receiving photochemotherapy and in eight (32%) of 25 receiving D-penicillamine treatment, while significant worsening occurred in three (10%) of 31 receiving photochemotherapy and in eight (32%) of 25 receiving penicillamine treatment, thus indicating a significantly higher response rate for individuals who received photochemotherapy (P.02). At both the 6- and 10-month evaluation points, the mean skin severity score, mean percent skin involvement, and mean oral aperture measurements were significantly improved from baseline among those who received photochemotherapy. Mean right and left hand closure measurements had also improved significantly by 10 months of therapy. By comparison, among the patients treated with D-penicillamine, none of the parameters of cutaneous disease had improved significantly after 6 months of therapy, although for those individuals in whom treatment was continued, the mean skin severity score and mean percent skin involvement had improved by 10 months. Skin biopsy studies revealed a correlation between clinical improvement and decreased thickness of the dermal layer. Adverse effects of extracorporeal photochemotherapy were minimal and did not require discontinuation of treatment in any of the patients receiving this therapy; six patients permanently discontinued the use of D-pencillamine treatment due to adverse effects.
For patients with systemic sclerosis of recent onset, extracorporeal photochemotherapy is a well-tolerated treatment that may partially reverse the process that results in cutaneous sclerosis.(Arch Dermatol. 1992;128:337-346)

"The kids are my priority, so it's possible that from now on I will make fewer movies. I may even stop altogether," Jolie tells the Italian edition of Vanity Fair. "I no longer have the ambition I had in my 20s."
Jolie, 33, who spoke to the magazine while promoting her new movie Changeling, says that as she has had more children, she's come into her own as a mother.
"In reality my life is a lot more chaotic and adventurous now. Brad [Pitt] and I pilot airplanes, we travel non-stop, we go to difficult places and we have chosen to do it taking all of the kids with us," said the mother of six. "I feel a lot braver now than when I was an angry young woman."
Out of ShellOf her past, she says, "I knew little about the world and I was completely self-absorbed. It was only when I came out of my shell and started taking care of others that I found the real Angelina."
Jolie says her children have inherited her taste for globe-trotting.
"Sure I am still restless, but do you know that my kids are the same way? We were in France these last few months and after a while they started asking when we could get back on a plane."
That curiosity about the world is a value she wants her kids to maintain throughout their lives. "I want them to be able to walk through a marketplace in Adis Ababa and not bat and eye, not think it is dirty and ugly, but that it just represents another part of the world and humanity."
Altar-Bound?Asked if she plans to make an honest man out of Brad Pitt, the actress hints that they may end up tying the knot – under pressure from the kids.
"Usually people fall in love and everything revolves around the ritual of marriage, children are an afterthought. We did everything backwards," says Jolie.
"But sooner or later it will be the kids who ask us [to get married]. You know, they see films and start asking questions. Such as, 'Why are Shrek and Fiona married and you're not?' "

2009 Troubadour Cellars Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Mission Codename: The Wandering Minstrel
Operative: Agent Red
Objective: For our special Elite Operative Saturday, return to Troubadour Cellars, in the Napa Valley. Extract an allocation of their Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon – a true California gem – and make it available to our Operatives at an extraordinary Secret price.
Mission Status: Accomplished!
Current Winery: Troubadour Cellars
Wine Subject: 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon – Knights Valley
Winemakers: Jason Moore & Andy Byers
Backgrounder: Sonoma County's Knight's Valley sits at the easternmost edge of the County, far from the cooling of the Pacific Ocean. The fact that this high benchland AVA (American Viticultural Area) gets so much hot sun during the growing season makes it the perfect region for growing richly extracted Cabernet Sauvignon. Delicious, concentrated, elegant and approachable, today's wine shows off the winemaking skills of our long-time friend, Jason Moore. All at price that is hard to resist. Read Agent Red's tasting notes and mission report to learn more about this fantastic Cabernet.
Wine Spies Tasting Profile:
Look – Darkest black plum, with inky dark core. With perfect concentration of color from core to edge, the wine shows the thinnest band of garnet where wine meets glass. After swirling, skinny, wine-stained tears run slowly down the glass.
Smell – Bold and very dark, this wine leads off with intense black cherry, pronounced blueberry, blackberry, braised black fig and dusty bramble. Just behind these wonderful aromatics of dark chocolate, dark cured meats, cigar box, sweet brown spice, sweet tobacco and black pepper.
Feel – Soft and round, at first, the wine becomes quickly grippy and weighty. A spreading dryness is accompanied by flinty minerals. Medium tannins give the wine a mouthcoating and almost chewy feel.
Taste – Bold and concentrated, the darkly juicy wine leads with black cherry, blackberry, black plum, braised plum and dark chocolate. After some swirling, the wine really opens up, revealing additional flavors of leather, toasty oak, subtle brown tobacco leaf, subtle anise and black pepper.
Finish – Ultra long, with sustained black fruit that very gradually gives way to spice, leather, chocolate and flinty black pepper.
Conclusion – Very highly recommended, this rich, concentrated, dark wine a remarkable and delicious expression of fruit from Sonoma County's Knights Valley. Winemaker, Jason Moore, is one of our very favorite young winemakers. His work for Troubadour has always been exemplary; the 2009 Napa Valley Cab that we featured earlier this year was an instant hit. Todays 2009 Troubadour Cellars Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is even better! This richly layered wine is a true delight that we cannot recommend highly enough. Pair with braised ribs or a nicely charred t-bone steak. Drinking beautifully now, this wine will continue to improve with age. Drink now, but be certain cellar a few bottles for the next several years.
